Gee, nobody expected THIS when Bill Clinton promised 100,000 more police officers on the streets with federal money in 199x.
LOL! Talk about understatement, you've done it.
DING! DING! DING!
We have a winner! The federally funded "100,000 new police on the street" initiative, paid for with OUR money, was, in fact, a political bribe to major metropolitan mayors, aldermen, police chiefs, police commissioners, etc., in return for their political support. They knew damned well the money would be embezzled; that's why he lobbied for it. I will predict NO isn't the only major US city with "phantom" police officers on the payroll.
