Crooked cops?

I don't believe it.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

The officer's case is being treated as a "disease" similar to alcoholism, sources say, and he has spent several months in drug therapy while on sick leave.

This goes on while a civilian would lose his/her job and face felony prosecution. But America doesn't have a caste system where DNC officers/high-dollar-donors, entertainers, and cops are on the upper-echelon, does it?

They get "punished" by paid vacation where they sit in a cushy classroom telling war stories about things that Joe WorkingGuy gets sent to prison for.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Chicks with guns rule, too.

Piss-me-off alert!!

I'm shocked! Shocked to find that there's gambling going on here!

The police are often put tn harm's way by their profession. Some undercover cops have major problems with addiction. Some have intermitent problems with addiction. Drug investigation teams often rotate the detectives most at risk for addiction, because everyone is taking a Big Risk all the time. The war on drugs creates casualties as it rolls forward .... Think it may be time to test new procedures and new lines of attack.

If you have not seen the new film 'Nark' I recommend that you check it out.

Hopefully it is better than "Rush".

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

There's more at risk than addiction, too. I've read accounts of cops from corrupt departments who have put forth interesting portrayals of their fellow cops. More than one cop has observed that "you won't find a narc cop that doesn't have $1000 in his pocket at all times."

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Sapiano said it is "mindboggling" to think such a high-profile officer could have a decade-long habit while working daily with officers who are "trained to detect" drug use.

Pull your head out, Slopiano. When you know how your fellow cops are being trained, it isn't too hard to find ways to defeat that training. And, as important as it is to know what fellow cops are looking for, it's just as important to know what they aren't looking for. That's how you really exploit them.

'Nark' .... Rating: **** or A+

Featuring: Jason Patric , Ray Liotta , Busta Rhymes
Directed By: Joe Carnahan
Written By: Ray Liotta, Michelle Grace
Produced By: Paramount Pictures

Jason Patric should become a Major Star based on his performance. Ray Liotta deserves a nomination for his acting and for his script.

Nick Tellis is a recovering drug addict. But staying clean is not so easy for this Detroit narcotics officer when the police department reinstates him in order to investigate an elusive 'narc' squad homicide. After a rookie cop is mysteriously killed in the line of duty, the police department teams Tellis up with the dead cop's partner, the volatile Lieutenant Henry Oak, to solve the murder. Soon the two of them find themselves crawling through the mean streets of Detroit. Their probative investigation leads them through filthy drug dens, crack houses, and alleyways to track the killer, but these all too familiar surroundings plague Tellis like a nightmare. As Tellis gets closer to revealing the truth behind the murder, he finds himself in jeopardy of losing his family, his dignity, and his life.-

Jason Patric, who was also in Rush. Interesting. I'll check it out.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Hey, check this out!

'A drunk with a gun' came out of my speakers when I shifted to the next page. Only problem I have is all the allegations are pure, unsupported hearsay.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Take a look at the rest of his website, starting HERE. There is a fair amount of heresay, but this guy also has a lot of newspaper articles to back up what he is saying. The stuff about the brass' drunken brawls and theft of drug money cannot be proven, but it is a fact that a lot of higher ups in North Bergen, NJ are getting busted for corruption.

[Monty22]

A complete lack of morality or purpose leads to this. It does in cops or the rest of society.

Also, they'll link this with guns, as if guns by default are the same as drug usage.
