Yep.

I'd like to be clear for my own account though -- Cops have good days and bad days, they are no supermen. There are good ones who drink heavy and bad ones who are teetotlars. Nor does the money make much of a difference to being bad or good.

I'm glad you cleared that up. My brother was an undercover narcotics detective who had gained letters from community leaders (even an anti-police group one, who wrote to the chief to say that an interaction with my brother had caused her to rethink her positions), citations, and recognition...and he left it all to move to another department near his new bride's parents...and had to start again at the academy and $25k/year. There are many good officers out there who sacrifice a lot to serve their communities.

And note that I wrote of "good cops" having that ability...not every one.

Yes that's true also.


"Through his lawyer, McDonald, convicted in 2001 for delivering 500 grams of cocaine to an undercover federal informant in Maine, asked to be placed in protective custody. The request was granted."
.................
"DeFazio said investigators are continuing to search for additional people in connection with the case.

Sources close to the investigation said McDonald and his wife were lying in bed in the upstairs apartment when the police knocked down the door to the home and discovered the family slain in the apartment below.

McDonald was questioned several times immediately after the murders and released".


Chasing the theory, the FBI sent investigators to the family's native Egypt and scoured computer records, searching for evidence of an Internet threat friends say Armanious received after an online religious debate.

But a letter in the mail led them to a suspect much closer to home.

In mail sent to the family, prosecutors found a notice from the Bank of America saying Armanious' ATM card had been canceled due to someone repeatedly trying to withdraw more than the daily minimum amount, DeFazio said earlier this week."
(Wait a minute, investigators didnt check out the money aspect first ? They waited until they found mail from BOA canceling the ATM card ? )

DeFazio said the two men had a large debt and that they believed the Armanious family, who relatives said were planning on starting a business, had large amounts of money
