At Least We Aren't NYPD

  • Two high-ranking New York Police Department officers were arrested Monday on charges they took over $100,000 worth of free flights, prostitutes, expensive meals and other bribes in exchange for providing a "private police force" for local businessmen.

    Deputy Chief Michael Harrington, Deputy Inspector James Grant and a third defendant, Brooklyn businessman Jeremy Reichberg, were charged with conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud — the latest development in a series of overlapping public corruption investigations coordinated by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. David Villanueva, an NYPD sergeant assigned to the gun license bureau, was arrested on charges of conspiring to commit bribery.

    In exchange for the bribes, Reichberg and others "got a private police force for themselves and their friends," Bharara said at a news conference. "Effectively, they got 'cops on call.'"
Not surprisingly, the mayor is involved in this up to neck, regarding speeding up gun licensing, disappearing tickets of all sorts, providing police escorts with road closures and extra security for events.

Nothing about cheating on an exam though.

Another "Progressive" Democrat/Socialist Mayor. Remember, this is the Mayor who supported the Communist Ortega in his take-over of Nicaragua back in the 1980's. Once again, Democrats are above the law that governs the Masses.This is the Mayor who cops turned their backs on, following the death of an officer. This is the Mayor who has failed to back his officers. So any boss who was arrogant enough to go along with this guy deserves to go down. No sympathy for these Exempt, they should all go to prison, they betrayewd the public and their subordinates. I'll bet everyone of them knew our Bronx Bull Dog. Now I wonder if he has any videos to suppress when he runs for reelection. Baby"G" Stay Fetal

This is mainly top level leadership positions, that are corrupt and probably headed for a jail cell. The rank and file of the NYPD is clean, effective and efficient. They are a PD to be reckoned with and still the force that sets the gold standard for big city PDs. With any luck their mayor will join the crooked cops in jail.

Never trust anyone or any company that changes its name.

I learned that the hard way forty years ago.

Sure we are like NYPD,

We have had plenty of police impersonators.
look at Fenner, Mayet and Barz?

Just like the kid driving around in squad car on south side or the coppers kid
who impersonated a ATF agent up in 16 and 25th district doing street stops.

No one did anything about this misconduct but they make it sound like they did.

I read a book many years ago about the Director of the FBI. Ate at the same restaurant for many years, often with his roomie, Clyde Tolson. Never paid for a meal. A new owner took over, and decided there's no free lunch for the famous bulldog, and instructed the waiter to give him the check for the latest meal. J. Edgar gave him a dirty look, and pocketed the check. Payment came in the mail, and Edgar never returned to the restaurant.

TRUE! Bill DiBlasio is a constructed identity by a hippie weird-o who couldn't figure out who the hell he is, like most normal people do. And for toppers, he marries a woman who can't make up her mind about her sexuality. Bunch of goofballs, the whole family.

Everything controlled by democrats is off the hook out of control, they represent total and utter anarchy and chaos! Finally the media sees hillary as a joke they are finally laughing at hher clown antics, she never takes questions, while Trump even though not "politically correct" takes questions and gives answers!

http://www.infowars.com/tv-reporters-laugh-at-hillary-for-avoiding-questions/

Now if the lapdog media especially in chiraq would wake up and realize bastardizing police is bad, and stop promoting felons actions and support police officers doing their jobs in a extremely tough environment!

Since this probe was started by the Feds while there is a Demorat in office maybe there may be some action on Exam Scam. The only way Rahmulus will bring this to the media is if he gets tired of Eddie & puts the first female in as Supt.(Spokane Annie)!

If barry was not president and he will not be for long, think if Trump gets in and sends real investigation team into city hall,county,state house then takes a look into CPD practices bet Chicago's own "gold star club" would be wearing depends waiting until they are indicted next!

And the new restaurant owner's profit margins improved over the prior owner's profit margins.
So, what was your point, exactly?

What they did is done with police departments everywhere! how many "special people" get better protection? special favors we all know the answer to that, how many of our top brass have been on yachts,flown around, watched not so legal operations? Mayor daley had 1 good comment about the feds he said "they could indict anything" nothing to be surprised at here move along!

This doesn't sound particularly unusual, albeit the hookers and airplane tickets are a little excessive.

Now if we could only get the US Attorney to act on the Theft of Taxpayers money here in the CPD by those who cheated their way to the top.

Love the Times article about the lack of minorities in the department. Get a mitt and get in the game. Promotions have nothing to do with race its all about nepotism, cronyism,and political connections. Do a little research on the last group of merit promotions.Tthey all are connected and never worked the streets. There is the problem none of the command staff (sgt on up) has a clue about police work, they all came from cush jobs and are now supervisor (sgt, Lt, Capt, exempt). Gotta love it keep the killin going they can fix it!

SCC, there were three NYPD Officers arrested. You forgot to mention that sergeant was arrested also. He appears to be the
bagman for the exempts.
