Forget about racial profiling. This is the most idiotic police sting I have ever heard of. If honest people are required to ignore a lost wallet on the ground, it is guaranteed that the wallet will be snatched by the first dishonest person who sees it...What in the world is wrong with the NYPD?

There must be a great deal that's bogus about this story. I find it hard to believe there are any cops in the US that are this stupid. In fact, it sounds more like a sting operation to identify stupid cops.

I'd like to know what the real story is.

There is that.

Always suspect being lied to whenever a journo is saying something about anything.

Uh, Operation Lucky Bag and the fact he wasn’t charged lead me to believe there is nothing else.

You don’t believe cops are stupid? LOL Seriously?

It’s pretty clear. They are leaving wallets out in the open and then stopping people. Not only is that entrapment, it’s creating problems where there weren’t any. Why not leave a bag next to an undercover to see if anyone reaches in or grabs the bag, rather than just leave a wallet around.

That is a major joke! We read about them by the hundreds here all the time! LOL
