We're the Only Ones Bending the Rules Enough

Their mission is to protect and to serve, but lately some Durham officers are accused of bending the rules they're supposed to follow. [More]
Bending the rules?

You know, things like breaking and entering, extortion, threats...bending rules against those.

Oh, and looky here:
Councilman Eugene Brown says he sees a cause for concern especially considering the recent scandals - overtime abuse that cost an officer and a deputy chief their jobs, another charged with DWI, because his blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit. And just last week, a federal indictment against an officer accused of selling drugs out of his squad car...
What, it's not just an isolated bad apple...?

Uh, not surprising, remember their conduct during the false rape accusations against the Duke lacrosse team?

Sounds like if they got rid of their police force, they'd suffer an instant 25% drop in crime.
