The drugs was found in a common room in the house. Can you let the reader know which room the drugs was in. I was thinking living room, dining room or could it be the restroom. How can you have drugs in a common room that the family sat in on the regular. Mr. Worrell was bringing in pounds of drugs into the county. Does anybody up there have any common sense. Did the cops test her for drugs or did they take her word.

It goes without saying….the cops have to right to do whatever, whenever they want to do.  Some officers do have integrity.  I was once treated like a criminal for making an honest mistake in a private parking lot.  I didn’t endanger anyone nor did i break the law but the cop was in a bad mood and felt that he could make his day better by treating me like crap and costing me $200.  This sentence gave me my faith in the justice system(for now).  What good does jail time do if the accused took responsibility for his actions and is trying to do the right thing?  Did you not read the part when Mr. Worrell said, “being arrested was the best thing that could’ve happened.”  I believe that every person who is truly sorry for their actions and will to right their wrongs deserves a second chance.  Him sitting in jail will only cost the powhatan tax payers more money and on helluva hard worker and tax payer.  By the way, Mr. Worrell was not arrested on Sep. 4.  GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT COPLEY(little boy)!  Another thing…...why dont any of you clowns use your real name?  Too shy?  Go get a set!

Brent:

That’s a good question and you make a good point.  I wish I had answer.  Could be they’ve tried without success since it can be such an “old boys club” mentality - Woodcock’s gone but Neal served under him for a long time…is he any different?  Could be they’ve been warned.  Could be they are staying out of it and doing the best they can.  I really don’t have all the answers and I’m not trying to either - so if I came across that way, that wasn’t my intent.  Again - you do make a good point.

Powhatan Resident,

  So why don’t these supposed good cops turn in the bad cops?  Could it be that the blue wall of silence trumps their responsibility to the community?

BEEN THERE:

First off but saying that not all cops are perfect in no way says I think some are perfect - just acknowledging that there are some not so great.  There is not a perfect person in this world.  So - let me re-phrase:  there are good cops and there are bad cops.  Some are in it for the right reasons while some others get a on a power trip.  Again - if you are so concerned about corruption and such, why not do something more instead of posting your comments here.

Barbara -

I’m sorry that happened to you and your family - truly I am.  This is not a perfect world and don’t look at it through rose-colored glasses.  But, you have to wonder why they suspected your son of something.  Sometimes those you associate with can get you into trouble.  I don’t agree with all that cops do, I’ve been treatly badly by somes and fairly by others - but in this situation with Worrell, I think they got it right.  That’s all. 

You’re both angry about something very personal that happened to you and I sympathize.  Why not be constructive with that anger and don’t just take it out on those who post our opinions.  Find a way to help bring in more of the good cops and get of the bad ones (such as Law, Wright and Tackett).  I don’t how to go about it but it’d be worth looking to wouldn’t it.  You could start with the ACLU.  If the cops broke the law as you imply, start there.  You never know, you could really start something.

Dear POWHATAN RESIDENT:

In YOUR PERFECT world things like that don’t happen.  A few years back the same thing happened to my family - the police suspected that my stepson was involved with someone here in the neighborhood that was selling drugs.  They came to our house at 1 a.m. in the morning and were about to knock down our door but for some reason my husband got up and saw them.  They handcuffed all of us in separate rooms and went commando on our home.  The broke furniture and violated everything throughout the house including my lingerie drawer that they seemed to get personal GLEE going through.  They FOUND nothing so you can keep dreaming on.  BTW - I understand that some of the marijuana taken from Glen Worrell’s home went MISSING.  Hmmmm where could it be?

To RESIDENT: Just to quote you, “i’m not saying ALL cops are PERFECT”. That means you think some are PERFECT, NOBODY’S PERFECT!!! It does’nt take guts to ABUSE AUTHORITY, or to do a JOB that you “CHOSE” to do.  THEY are not DRAFTED!!!  How about the men who work for the POWER COMPANY that go out there and get your lights back on in storms and snow, do you have THE GUTS to do that job? that they “CHOSE” to do!!!

TO BEEN THERE - I never said cops were perfect.  They are human and doing a job that you and I don’t have the guts to do.  There are some bad cops out there but there are also good cops.  If you don’t like the way things are handled why not join and try and do a better job.  Don’t just complain but truly do something about it.  They searched the house of a suspected drug dealer - which it turns he was just that!  He admits it!  So how is it the cops fault?  If the guy wasn’t breaking the law, none of it would have happened.

They do what they want when they want,and to: resident, there are no perfect COPS because believe it or not they are HUMAN, they just have a badge which allows them to break the LAW and not answer for it. US REGULAR PEOPLE, the ones without BADGES, better start standing up for our rights or pretty soon they’ll be telling us how many people can visit our house at one time, how many times we can go to the store a day. YOU KNOW if your car is parked a little crooked or not to their specifacations, it’s a suspicious vehicle, and if you are walking down the road, you are a suspicious person, you must have done something WRONG.  three richmond COPS, the ones with BADGES,are on trial today MON, 7-27-09 for obstructing “JUSTICE” can’t wait to see outcome of that ONE!!!.

Was it not just last year our School Board Pres was arrested for coke?
