We are not believed he is innocent and may have mega wrong doing. However, Police Junta trying to fool us demonstrating their non-professional use of available law. We must amend the public property act to punished officers who use this act for penalizing citizen in this country severely.

These idiots can not fool people. Johnston was sent to prison without any valid reason, only political vengeance is there
