But this is bad, I would have fired on them too. This could have been anybody. I hope the cops hang high. |

I forget who it was back when this was new (and I'm too lazy to look) that mentioned that they wouldn't be surprised if the amount of marijuana was what would fit into a BDU pocket. And of course he was shouted at for even insinuating that a police officer would do such a thing, let alone before the investigation was over. I'm all for complete and thorough investigations. And all of these officers have a right to due process. I don't think any of them should have faced criminal penalties until those two were satisfied. At the same time, sometimes it's obvious that something stinks to high heaven...and this one did from day one. *shrug* |

I am glad to see this happen. LEOs need to be held accountable for their actions, especially dirty ones. I just wonder why they were not charged sooner, if this happened last fall, they should be in prison by now.

In ‘The Development of the American Police: An Historical Overview’, Craig Uchida notes that "If there is a common theme that can be used to characterize the police in the 19th Century, it is the large-scale corruption that occurred in most police departments across the United States" (Uchida, 1993).
In ‘Forces of Deviance: Understanding the Dark Side of Policing’, Kappeler, Sluder, and Alpert point out that corruption among police is not new or peculiar to the late 20th century. "To study the history of police is to study police deviance, corruption and misconduct." (Kappeler et al., 1994.)
