Miami cops accused of planting guns

FBI says officers placed evidence to justify shootings FBI officials describe the details of their case at a Friday news conference in Miami.

ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI, Sept. 7 — Seven Miami police officers were arrested Friday by the FBI after a months-long investigation into allegations that officers planted guns at crime scenes to justify police shootings.

NO DETAILS were immediately released on the seven officers or on their specific cases. A federal grand jury indictment was expected to be unsealed later in the day, FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said.

Calls to Miami Police headquarters for additional information went unanswered.

Agents have been investigating gun “throw-down” cases involving the fatal shootings of two black men after a smash-and-grab purse snatching and the wounding of a homeless man who was pretending to hold a weapon to the head of a friend.

The weapon turned out to be a small radio. Orihuela could not immediately say whether Friday’s arrests involved those cases.

All they need now is for Baby Killer Janet Reno to be Gov. and there will be a lot of cowboys on the loose in Fla.

Why is the F.B.I. bothering to get involved in this case? After all, bringing along your own evidence is an F.B.I. invention, isn't it?
