Bad cops, bad cops, what are you going to do when they steal from you?

PC Fredrick Frazier

Two other police officers also appeared before the courts today and were charged for unlawful activity.  Thirty-nine year old Leonardo Yama and twenty-six year old Frederick Frazier appeared before Magistrate Dorothy Flowers and were jointly charged with theft.  Reports are that on May twenty-first both officers entered the home of Rene Rodriguez where they conducted a search for drugs and weapons.  The men then allegedly proceeded to take a generator belonging to Rodriguez and later sold it to businessman for one thousand, eight hundred dollars.  When Rodriguez visited the station to query the whereabouts of the generator he was informed that it was not brought in to the station.  Police later discovered that the officers each received six hundred dollars from the transaction.  Yama and Frazier were additionally charged with handling stolen goods to which they pleaded not guilty.  Yama who was unrepresented was individually charged with extortion.  Both officers were granted bail in the sum of two thousand, five hundred dollars each plus one surety of the same amount.  The case has been adjourned until July twenty-seventh.

    It’s in their nature to kill and steal, destroying themselves just like it was meant to be.
    Why even bother to send this thief to court, when we are more than willing to lynch him public.

  2. daveyt says:

    They should not have been offered bail, for the simple reason being that by the time this does come up in court, there will either be no witnesses alive, or certainly prepared to testify against these rogue Cops. Same with Inspector Lopez, I can almost guarantee that the family will not want to press charges in a week or two, and he will wlak, remain in the Police and even possibly get a promotion out of this, to make up for all the inconvenience of his arrest & charge! Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if he sued the victims family!

    “It’s in their nature to kill and steal.”

    What the hell is that supposed to mean? Come on, you can’t just generalize like that. We need the help of our police officers, remember?

    There is a THIN LINE between COPS and CRIMINALS.

    When the darn police learn to show some self respect for themselves and towards the citizens of Belize, when the darn police of Belize stop killing, stealing and abusing innocent people of Belize I might stop ranting and raving about the police and how corrupt they are. The only thing worse than a sleazy, thieving policeman is one that gets his job back after being exposed for the thief that he is.
    Further, it is your assumption that I ‘m generalizing, not mine.

    Still, I would like to publicly lynch this thief, he is not a good cop who did a bad thing, as if this crime would be worse than the things he really do in the light of day.

    Macal, a thief is a thief, if we cut his thieving hands off; he will start stealing donuts…

    Some people are negative toward the Police Officers of this country, but I have one thing to tell them. While I don’t condone the actions of these rogue cops, Let me remind you all that they come from the same community that we are all a part of.. Yes they are to be held to a higher standard, but those caught doing wrong must be given due process as well.

    There is a THIN LINE between COPS and CRIMINALS. Your right. The difference is if you meet a criminal he is unidentified and your not really sure if he’s a criminal, when you meet a COP you are sure he’s a criminal you can identify him by his UNIFORM.

  12. Tyron Yama says:

    Wow im here in Los Angeles California USA reading about my dad on the news but its for something bad. For people talking about bad cops, my dad is not one. So calm it down. And for all you people talking about you want to lynch them…you can go to !!!

  13. Shayla Yama says:

    everybody thats saying all the harsh things like cutting off thier hands and taken out there eye and all those crazy thing need to shut up ! No one but them(leonardo and fredrick)knows what really happen.everyone else is just assuming from what they heard and what ever but i hope it wasnt my dad.

  14. leonardo yama jr says:

    Well i think if my dad did do it he shouldn’t have had bail and should have stayed there and never gotten bail out of jail. He should have stayed. And if he really did it Im sad for him. But i don’t think that he needs to be lynched!! for stealing because that stupid and who ever said that need to keep quit unless he killed someone witched he didn’t do!
