People may remember this story because of the mass arrest of the officers involved.

“Wednesday’s announcement is the latest indication that the sweeping police corruption case is moving forward. The officers were arrested in February under the orders of the city police commissioner, who lured them to a training academy, stripped off their badges and ordered them cuffed.”

“Fifteen officers were told to report to the police academy Wednesday morning for an equipment check, but instead they were met by FBI Special Agent in Charge Richard McFeely and Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld, who collected their badges before they were arrested.”
