A husband, a wife and her sister -- all uniformed federal officers in South Florida -- plotted to allow couriers to carry loads of cocaine and heroin on flights from the Dominican Republic via Fort Lauderdale to New York, authorities say.

Utter nonsense.
Jeez, how can you prove that...
There are over 800,000 law enforcement from local to federal.

Prosecutors aren't connected to the departments. Usually, they are elected officials you vote for. They then hire their staffs of attorneys.
Sheriff's you vote for.
State and Feds you don't, but they actually spend much of their time on oversight for everyone else.
There are plenty of problems with corruption. There are Freepers here whose sole purpose is to post police corruption stories they hate cops so bad. But what is missing is the corruption comes to light by other cops catching the bad ones and prosecutors prosecuting them.
The main point, though, is that condemning ‘the majority’ of 800,000 people who we pay to protect us is the EXACT same mentality CODE PINK uses to condemn our military when a soldier commits a crime and is caught.
