Officer Byrant is to Coquille citizens what Dian Courtright is to any law enforcement agency.

If you really stood for what you say you would not defend Carl Foster. Where you there do you know what he did or didn't do? No you don't. You are just a anti-police figure no matter what. Foster did a person crime against a poor woman. That is way worse then what both the Coquille Officers got fired for, but yet you defend Foster and not the poor Coquille woman you got victimized by him, a real Coquille citizen. You talk way to much without knowing your facts first, just like newspapers. You should leave like you were going to and go live in Eugene were you would fit in much better.

No I'm not the sheriff, just unfortunatly have the same initials as him. Sorry to disappoint you there. I just don't put anonymous!Like others.
So County-- they can sigh a relief uh?? Don't think so, not with an officer that did his job good and got a lot of criminals off the street, oh wait I forgot most of the Coquille residents don't want that, they want the criminals to take over the town and have a lawless city, hope you all can protect yourself, cause Coquille is headed for disaster. Good Luck Coquille. If you are a law abiding citizen who respects the law and officers, get out while you can, before the town is took over by the drugs and criminals.

The track coach was treated the same only by Dannels. Had they done an investigation they would have found no basis for her arrest and having her life turned upside down. I am beginning to mistrust all PO's to the point I do not know if I would call them in an emergency.

My brother drives fast and his wife complains. He doesnt get tickets because he is a retired cop, showing his badge. Have a badge and get away with lots of doo doo. Its called Badging.

Andy J. wouldn't happen to Andy Jackson would it. If it is, you have no right to critize any police department. Clean up your own yard first.
Andy J. wrote on Apr 13, 2009 8:34 AM:
Hopefully the DA sees through the bs of the Coos Bay PD and sees Bryant is innocent. This whole investigation from the beginning is a joke, you don't arresst someone on heresay, then do an investigation, they have not filed anything because they have nothing. Coos Bay screwed up, and so did Coquille. Admit it and just leave Bryant alone, you all got what you wanted. The man is innocent. If the DA is smart he will see that. The DA knows Bryant was a professional and did his job by the book.
Andy J. wrote on Apr 13, 2009 8:33 AM:
You said it How It Works.
Exactly right, this whole thing is nothing but a witch hunt, Coos Bay PD is a joke, somebody there wanted Bryant out because he was doing his job better, making them all look bad. We all know when it came to duii's Bryant was the one getting them. Way to go Dannel's backing your best officer there, you just lost the best thing that has happened to that department since he began. He did his job by the book and the best. You just wanted to make yourself look good, sorry to say but your stats will be going down, ahhhh what a shame. Thats ok Officer Bryant didn't do anything wrong except be accused of something he didn't do, have his life turned upside down for NOTHING!

If you don't want to get beat up by cops, then be a cop. Then you get to do the beating.
How it works wrote on Apr 10, 2009 10:28 PM:
So If I get this right, tell me if I am wrong, Coos Bay Police Arrest someone AND THEN investigates? The DA Said they are waiting for the reports, what about a speedy trial? Is that how it works? "Hey Officer Jim Bryant did this, this and this." ARREST NOPW lets investigate. If this is how they treat people in Coos Bay and the DA puts up with it, well the system truely is broken. Innocent until PROVEN guilty, means you should have the proof and evidence BEFORE the arrest! Coos Bay PD is a JOKE! The DA too.

No name... who was the first person to bring Mr Foster into the thread? Oh, that's right, it was you.
Continue to defend these criminal officers. I've met Mr Bryant in person, and never in my life had I felt as threatened by anyone as I was by him. I've never met a police officer who holds onto his gun for a traffic stop involving a local, unless there was reasonable suspicion of violence.

See what I mean! All of the comments on here are related to the Foster case. Nothing about the case at hand. Nice job World.
Former Resident wrote on Apr 8, 2009 7:23 AM:
Coquille Police Department has demonstrated a weakness: Police Accountability. I hope those in the authority position take this seriously. I know I wouldn't want to be paralyzed during an arrest or have a police officer proposition my daughter.
TO DIAN wrote on Apr 8, 2009 1:09 AM:
Felony or misdeameanor matters not, when you are placed under arrest you are supposed to cooperate. Mr. Foster made the choice to chase an elderly woman with a hammer. He made the choice to resist. Why don't you put something in there aboue PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. What are the cops supposed to do? Say, "Oh, honey, you don't feel like going to jail today. Well, we will come back when you are ready." Maybe they should take that approach when you are a victim and see how you like it.
Just An Observer wrote on Apr 7, 2009 7:56 PM:
I wonder who got hung for the likely multiple millions in Foster's health care costs? The taxpayers of Coos County? The hospital and thus by extension the rest of the bill-paying public? Does anyone know for sure how this part of the story played out?
Dian Courtright wrote on Apr 7, 2009 6:28 PM:
Yes, there are good things in the "World" but there are also injustices & thing that need to be set right. For one thing, Carl Foster will always be paralyzed from the neck down. He got a life sentence. For what? A misdemeanor.
Personally, I think the World Newspaper does a pretty good job in balancing the positive & the negative news. Police accountability is not something to be taken lightly.

TRUTH HURTS SOME PEOPLE wrote on Apr 7, 2009 4:16 PM:
TO NO NAME ..or no sence.Thats one of the big problems with our system is the way people like you think.Unfortunately,we have a very corrupt government,among other agencies in Oregon.If everything was just forgotten like you would want it,only worsens the situations.You must work for one of the big problems i'm talking about,or have very close ties.If you can't handle the reading about the past on occasion,don't read the paper.Pretty simple.
no name wrote on Apr 7, 2009 2:50 PM:
to 'truth hurts'*People like you need to pull your head out of the ground. Not everything is done by the 'good ol boys club.' There is still good out there in the world. It's people like you and writers in 'The World' who keep dredging up the past that love feeding us the 'doom and gloom.' It's disheartening to alway read and hear about the bad. Especially when there are those who keep bringing it up over and over again. There is blue sky out there, you just have to pull your head out of the ground to see it!
TRUTH HURTS SOME PEOPLE wrote on Apr 7, 2009 12:25 PM:
TO NO NAME'''THese officers were cleared alright, just like all across this country does in simular fashion.The grand jury is made up of the very same crowd as the police,(GOOD OLD BOYS CLUB).Our justice system is a joke,just like the lawyers and judges,and the rest of the bunch.As people like you would like to have certain things buried,and never heard of again,but thats not the answer to the solution.The (WORLD) needs to bring up certain things,as so it be a reminder of what happened.Some things should never be forgotten.The newspaper needs to do it more often.GOOD JOB WORLD.

The story about the officers misconduct on March 17 or 18 is what this article should be about. Why does the world need to bring up an old case re: Mr. Foster? What does it have to do with the story at hand? Shame on you 'World' for feeling the need to refuel an old fire! This community already has enough to deal with without bringing up the past. Might I remind you too that both Bryant and Webley were cleared of any wrong doing. Stick to the story!!
DA is scared wrote on Apr 7, 2009 11:39 AM:
A Coos Bay man is looking at 12 years for using a camera, at least the camera performed - evidently.
Bryant won't get as much as his crony did for stealing thousands right out from under the DA's nose.
Watch and see.
