Nice alliteration.
How different is this from filing a police report and having the police start an investigation on someone for you?
I'm glad somebody caught it. I really wasn't planning on using the term stooge, but it was the first S that I could com up with.
I can understand local (and even state) police helping out another force if there was a real threat, or blackmail type situation, to the Pitt-Jolies (or is it Jolie-Pitts?) or if there was legit misappropriation of their image. But, even in the second case, that is a civil (not criminal as far as I know) issue - meaning the cops should stay out of that and focus on the child molesters that I worry are going to hurt my kid or the murderers that kill with impunity in the DC area.
The difference (IMO) is that the Secret Service got involved. I don't see why or how this is in their jurisdiction. I don't see either their primary (stopping counterfeiters) or secondary (protecting high ranking politico types) responsibility coming into play.
