We're the Only Ones "A Few Bad Apples" Enough

Two Spring Lake police sergeants have been arrested and their department has been stripped of its criminal investigation duties...

He said he suspects senior officers of lying and directing other officers to fabricate facts in police reports. [More]
Not that it would be fair to tar all Spring Lake "Only Ones" with that brush...wait a minute...I guess it would be...

Well, shoot. Now what excuse do we use?

Is it due to pressure from the politicians to produce arrests and convictions when the proper role of the police is to simply keep the peace? Or is it individual greed to supplement that always-too-low LEO pay?

A warning to those who might sign up at policelink to leave comments: best use a disposable email account.

I'd used a unique email address for that site and two months later it is full of spam from unrelated sites.

Thanks, anon.

Anyone figure the N.C. law mandating your police chief's permission to buy a handgun has anything to do with the success of these policepunks?
The legislature has a bill to drop the requirement. Don't know the status.
