Not really comparable at all. It wasn't just the mere act of trespassing on private property where peoples sympathies depart. Were they trying to steal vehicles from COP? Were they driving a motor vehicle while being 3-4 times more intoxicated than the legal limit? Had they also tried to steal from other properties adjacent to COP? Did they have a weapon on board their truck? Did they get into an altercation with people while they were on the COP property?
