Does this sound familiar? cover 'em up from crib to grave. This is a limited viewing PBS site - I hope it is active when you try to view it.

The comments immediately above sure sounded liked Major Curley Top ignoring the obvious tyranny of his department and substituting his idealized justification for his crimes. With enough collusion and corruption, you can cover anything. (for a while)

MAN SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR NONSENSE AND YOUR COMMENTS. YOU DON'T LIKE RIVIERA LEAVE. IF YOU AREN'T WORKING WITH RIVIERA , THEN STOP WRITING YOUR BULLSHIT COMMENTS

Major Top, sir, Riviera Beach Police would NEVER break into an appartment without a warrant and rough-up and arrest an American citizen during a rent protest, would they. RBPD would never act like these Egyptian Cops 'just following orders'. Riviera Beach Police are 'civilized and law abiding'. Right Curly ? Right Detective PMS Weclher? Right Sergeant Tam-e Pet-ma-wic. Just ask your boss, Clarence - he will set you straight (or issue new orders).

copied from the BURROWS forum:

On May 16, 2009, Detective Andrew Borrows was investigating an attempted murder in Riviera. That night, he worked with one other detective, Joseph Passaro. "There were no other detectives working and no supervisors working at this time," Borrows wrote in a statement obtained
by prosecutors in the case. "I spoke to Detective Sergeant Galligan about three times by phone that evening."

Borrows worked through the night, writing search warrants, emailing them to the judge in the case. Around 11 p.m., he called Galligan to ask for a special response team to help execute the warrant. Galligan agreed at first, then told Borrows that the operation had been delayed until 6 a.m. the next day.

Borrows went home and continued working on an "operation plan" for the warrant until 1:35 a.m. When he returned to the office on the morning of May 17, he submitted an overtime slip for the extra labor, from 11 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. But Galligan submitted overtime paperwork for five hours -- from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Borrows was not pleased.

"To the extent of my knowledge, at no time during the night did Detective Sergeant Galligan respond to the City in reference to my case," Borrows wrote in his statement. "He never reviewed any of my work. I had no contact with Sergeant Galligan after midnight when I began writing the operation plan at my house.

"The purpose of my calls to Sergeant Galligan were in order to give him information (that I had obtained probable cause) and to request an SRT [special response team]. I worked from 1500 hours until 0130 hours starting on 5/16/09, and did not see Sergeant Galligan during the day. Sergeant Galligan never indicated to me that he was in the office or the area. Sergeant Galligan never provided any direction or supervision whatsoever on my investigation or the associated paperwork."

Galligan, who retired in October 2009 after 23 years on the force, has not responded to a request for comment. Borrows declined to be interviewed.

Maybe they will take vance and pasaro next !!!

I doubt it after seeing how horribly Vance, Borrows and Passaro testa"lied" in the Toombs case. Congrats Toombs, the liars have been exposed

They haven't been exposed enough yet!!!!

Who really believes these three cops lied ???? What could they possibly have gained by doing so ? What a sick joke.

It appears that the comment section of the Sun-Sentinel is not as open as the LeoAffairs commentary. I placed the following comment 5 times, and it has not yet appeared. Possibly it (or some variation) will appear after some editor has made it politically correct, and made it 'fit to print' . Check it out, and see your "Free Press" and "Freedom of Speech" in action.

Officer Vance needs to find a new career immediately. You don't make accusations against police officers in Palm Beach County, even if you are one. Palm Beach Judges and State Attorneys will have to many questionable arrests and verdicts put in jeopardy by ‘serving justice’.

When your county has a $ Billion county trust fund, with ‘ investment interest moneys’ going to improve the lives and neighborhoods of the rich and powerful while ignoring the people in the lines at the church soup kitchens, you don’t want to upset the financial boat with a litany of ‘false arrests’ and ‘manufactured’ or ‘destroyed evidence’ court cases.

If you don't think a Trial Judge can manipulate the jury by the testimony he allows, or the State Attorney to present only half a case to manipulate a jury decision, you are watching too much 'Perry Mason' tv shows. The real world is not on TV

And as far as taped police conversations go, Tapes are very easily ‘cleaned up’ when they have inconvenient content. Ain’t technology in the hands of the State Attorney great.

Too bad there is no WIKILEAKS of Palm Beach Government material available. You might see Banyan Blvd and North Quadrille Blvd as full of angry people as Tahrir Square in Cairo Egypt. Democracy without fair courts does not exist except in the imagination.

MY, MY, MY Ira, did we hit a strong resident cord with that one ? How many men are in the grave because of your 'unwarranted' justice, or the quick trigger of your 'boys'. Do you remember those men? Do you remember your mistakes that you buried with them? Are there so many you think you can not 'come clean' ? When is enough, ENOUGH for you ? Sleep well, relief is only a federal court trial way.

Very interesting how you "been there". Obviously you weren't "there". Toombs was not only not guilty he was innocent of these accuasations. It is very rare that people are both, but in his case he was. The travesty of the legal system was exposed , at least a little bit of it was. Justice was finally served for Toombs, but, still at a great damage to his career which he didn't deserve. This wasn't attempted justice by the likes of borrows, vance, pasaro, and payne. This was pure evil that hopefully will come back to them. You are right about one thing, they all need to find new jobs because their credibility is no more.

Please give us your probable cause theory of why these four fellow Policemen would engage in 'PURE EVIL lies' against a fellow cop. Was it revenge? if so, for what injustice? Was it for financial gain? If so, from what source? Was it simply the usual past time of South Florida Cops, just for the 'PURE EVIL' Sport of dominating others? Does this constitute a conspiracy amongst cops? Surely there is no such thing amongst such honorable men such as yourselves in Blue.

Please Mr. Guest, do expound on your TRUTH of the matter.

The reasons why Vance lied are obvious now. He wanted to be assigned to the Violent Crimes unit at PBSO. His work was inferior and the Chief of RBPD didn't want to send him there because he wasn't deserving. His best "friend" greg at the state attorney's office even asked the Chief to send Vance. Vance's ego couldn't handle the blow so he went to greg and cried like the ***** he is. Then he began to spin a web of lies about RBPD to get sympathy because according to him it was all a conspiracy to keep him down. Having been told of the lies and believing them greg went to his boss at the state attorney's office and they launched the investigation that led to the arrests of Toombs and Schneider. All based on the lies of a disgruntled Vance. Time went on and depositions started and vance's lies began to fall apart but the state attorney was in too deep. Vance then concocted the story that his life was in danger from rbpd employees. Guess who calls in a favor and gets Vance a job at PBSO. The Palm Beach County State Attorney. Remember pbso was under a hiring freeze at the time. Guess where Vance gets assigned. That's right Violent Crimes.

Why did borrows and passaro go along. They were fooled just like greg and the rest of the state attorney's office and by the time they figured it out it was too late.
