The Albany Police Department either destroyed records or failed to document its internal investigation of the illegal purchase of machine guns by dozens of Albany police officers and at least one civilian...Since 2002? Gee, it didn't take BATFU anywhere near that long to put away Wayne Fincher or David Olofson.
[Th]e documents show there were apparently 52 machine guns purchased, and that at least nine are missing...
The scandal was kept quiet by the police force after it was discovered in late 2002 by agents with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives. The ATF found one of the machine guns -- still registered to the police force -- illegally listed for sale in a Colonie gun store, B & J Guns.
Why do you suppose that is?
Professional courtesy.
ReplyDeleteBut what exactly IS their profession? They call it "public safety." Maybe once upon a time...
Now they're tax collectors and enforcers, judges and prosecutors all at once.
Your legislators know.
