A sadistic gang of police impersonators abducted and tortured scores of East Coast cocaine traffickers, forcing them to hand over multimillion-dollar stashes by threatening to squeeze their testicles with pliers, authorities said Tuesday.How could they tell they were impersonators and not real "Only Ones"?
At least the imposters knew their victims have been conditioned to be afraid to "lift a finger."

Goodness. Multi-millions of dollars worth of Prohibited drugs, despite the fact that one needs an advanced medical degree and a DEA license to handle such stuff?
ReplyDeleteCrime feeds on crime. What we resist, persists.
But, that aside, I guess real cops would have used Tasers instead of pliers. More their style.
Were the pliers marked "Always Think Forfeiture"?
ReplyDeleteStop it, Kent. You made me snort V8 juice.
ReplyDeleteThose Dominicans are a slick bunch of hoods, with big cajones!
ReplyDeleteTechnically, since cocaine is a Schedule II drug, Defender is right. But only for those preparations used as a topical anesthetic. Pure powder in a kilo brick is still difficult to explain to the authorities.
ReplyDeleteI support making it legal, but only if I can summarily execute anyone who injures me or my family while high.
Actually, as I recall pure cocaine powder is a schedule 1 narcotic. Kilo bricks wold be tough to explain unless you were a wholesaler near a bunch of pain management clinics.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen anything that makes me tend to believe they were impostors.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, off duty? Then no stun guns, so back to the old procedures, maybe?
Or they could be impostors, but from their actions it is difficult to tell.
