Smithfield, N.C. — A North Carolina state trooper noted for a talent for finding and helping people in trouble has been nominated for the "America's Most Wanted" All Star competition.
Senior Trooper Jack L. Thorpe, who is assigned to Johnston County, is up for the annual award that lets viewers of the popular crime show pick a first responder to honor.

Good for him.
There ARE a few good cops left. Too bad the pet-shooting jackbooted thugs outnumber the good ones these days.....
Prove it.

The NCHP has had a lot of problems lately, good to see one of the good ones getting some recognition.

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/crime/blog/2011/02/baltimore_officers_arrested_in.html
Several Baltimore city police officers have been arrested in connection with a federal corruption probe that involves an improper relationship with a city towing company, sources said.
According to one source, as many as a dozen or more officers were taken into custody. The investigation involves taking money from citizens to avoid towing their vehicles, according to the source. A second source confirmed that the investigation centered on a city towing operation.
Officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Baltimore and the FBI announced that a press conference will be held at 3 p.m. today.
That doesn’t prove anything. You can try reading comprehension, and Prove the assertion that was actually made.
