...using $3,000 in Police Foundation funds to manufacture 30 busts of Kerik... to be handed out as mementos.

ROFL! Is Beezy just a tad bit narcissistic, or what?

I wonder if they sell these "mementos" on ebay.

Kerik makes organized crime looks like philanthropy. Read on.

Washington Post: “Kerik profits astonishingly from post 9/11 Board position in Taser International”

In 2002, Kerik was appointed to the board of Taser International Inc., which manufactures high-voltage stun guns. Critics have accused the company’s weapons of contributing to dozens of deaths. Kerik received options on more than 100,000 shares of stock.

Company records show Kerik recently exercised those options and sold $5.8 million worth of stock, whose value increased by more than 19 times in the past two years.

Another news story; “Kerik has made $6.2 million dollars in profits from his relationship with Taser International, a Scottsdale, Ariz., manufacturer of stun guns.”

Kerik was appointed as a director of the company immediately after he had the NYPD purchase the guns as police chief. Since 2002, Kerik has hawked Taser’s products to police departments around the country. Recently the company has made an “aggressive push to enter markets either regulated or controlled by the federal government, most notably the Department of Homeland Security.”

Thomas Smith, the company president, said the company would “continue to go after that business” at the Department of Homeland Security should Kerik be confirmed.
