Unhappy with investigation





Thistale starts on Aug. 9 of this year. My wife and I got home from a kayak festival in Two Harbors to find our house broken into and trashed. As a taxpayer we called the police figuring someone would come out but were told that they were way too busy that night, so it would be the next day.

Since it was a work day for us, my wife stayed home and met the cop. He came but didn’t want to see what was done or the evidence that was blatantly left behind. He didn’t even take notes.

We waited a few days and called the county attorney. The county attorney told me more investigation was needed before they could filecharges. Theysaid they would contact the cops again and send someone out in the next few days.

Five days later and after another call to the county attorney, I was told that the case was given to the same cop who came the first time. Now, why send the same person again? He should have done his job in the first place.

Since you can’t count on the cops any more to do their job, it looks like I will be doing my own selective justice. After I’m done with my justice, I wonder if they will show up then?
