"Baloney; 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?

Also, operating in a slipshod manner may, and did in this case, result in the dropping of charges against some individuals. Too bad. But 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.

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

Only if I was an idiot.

The reason we don't hear about many cops operating in this manner is because competent cops don't, and don't get judgments against the taxpayer, pardons issued, and public confidence in cops destroyed.

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

Confessions and convictions have been known to accompany innocence.

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