San Francisco Dirty Cops

[ordnance11]

http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/6-S ... 273906.phpYou have 6 dirty cops... now you have to see how far the rot goes. Precinct, division. These guys would not have gotten far with higher ups looking the other way. Expect a manhunt..or witch hunt to get underway. And were was Internal Affairs in this? And expect multi million dollar lawsuits also. Some lawyers have eyes already going ka-ching$$$! over this.

Thanks.

Yeah, it's difficult to see how this could happen without somebody higher-up taking an active disinterest in their activities - but I don't think it was somebody very high up the chain of command, just somebody who could make sure IA never found out about what was going on.

This reminds me of the LAPD rampart corruption scandal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampart_sc ... n_cover_up

There is that case there were 70 officers involved. Who knows how many else in this case. It might end up being the whole division. The chief might end up losing his job. The officers convicted will definitely end up being someone's prison bitch unless they start singing like canaries. Oh ,and expect 6 figure settlements.

Pretty awful, but there's worse out there.

Watch out - this one's been squicking even the hardiest trolls.

Pretty much what it says on the tin. Police, while responding to another call, are distracted by a domestic dispute between the man's wife and his daughter when he tries to break them up. It all goes horribly downhill from there.
