Police detail plot to behead NYPD chief Associated Press ^ | TOM HAYS

I thought cops got hire for details like watching traffic at roadside construction. I never knew they plotted to take down the boss. What'a country.

Despite the tag line and my reputation, this is a serious (series?) question:

I keep reading these murder for hire plans that go awry because the hire is an undercover cop.  Seems like the odds of running into an undercover cop would be comparatively low to finding a lowlife who'd commit murder for hire.  Yet I read somewhat fewer stories about people committing murder for hire.

It would lead one to believe that somehow, the undercover cops are in a position to solicit these types of jobs or something???

Just wondering how this occurs.

When I heard this reported earlier on Fox & Friends, I though immediately of Greg Kelley. Imagine the horror of reporting the news of such a gruesome plot against your own father.

David Brown, 47, was arrested Monday on a charge of criminal solicitation after he offered an undercover officer the payout to kill Kelly and blow up One Police Plaza, said Paul J. Browne, the NYPD's deputy commissioner for public information.

"I want his head chopped off,'' Brown told the undercover officer in a taped conversation.
