I have yet to hear his apologists cite any evidence that any other cop ever operated in this slipshod manner.

So we are to conclude that since you haven't heard it, well then, it just didn't happen, huh?

No, we shouldn't assume, as you did, that it did happen.

it is undeniable that, despite this "slipshod manner", the investigation resulted in 11 unanimous court convictions by a jury of peers and 27 confessions of drug dealing.

Confessions and convictions have been known to accompany innocence.

With results like this, maybe we ought to have more cops operating in such a slipshod fashion. Pretty effective, wouldn't you agree?

No more than we should blind pigs to help them find acorns.

"No, we shouldn't assume, as you did, that it did happen."

I didn't assume he wrote notes on his leg -- numerous news stories pointed out this fact. Maybe you need to get familiar with the case before you start your petty sniping.

Even Coleman admitted in one instance, "That could have been a typo, but Tania White did sell me drugs, I handwrote the notes and I handed them to a secretary to be typed."

Someone screwed up. Nobody's perfect. Charges were dropped against Tania White. The system works. What's your beef?

Yes they have. Are you stating for a fact that's the case here?

Of the 38 sent to prison, how many are innocent, MrLeRoy? 4? 14? 24? All of them?
