Law Enforcement: This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories

One of California's top narcs gets busted for peddling Cialis, another Florida cop goes to prison, and a pair of Florida prison guards gets popped for the usual. Let's get to it:

In Long Beach, California, one of California's top narcs was arrested Saturday for selling prescription erectile dysfunction pills to undercover police. Special Agent Henry Kim, supervisor of the state Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement anti-gang team in Los Angeles, had advertised Cialis pills for sale on the Craigslist web site. Long Beach undercover officers responded to the ad, agreed to buy 50 pills for $250, and then arrested Kim when he met them to do the deal Saturday morning. He is charged with possession of a controlled substance for sale and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. But by Tuesday, prosecutors had downgraded the charges to four misdemeanor counts: dispensing drugs without a license, prescribing a controlled substance, unlawfully prescribing dangerous drugs without a prescribing physician, and unlawfully using dangerous drugs without a prescription. Kim has been released on his own recognizance pending trial. He is on paid administrative leave pending the results of an internal affairs investigation.

In Hollywood, Florida, a fourth Hollywood police officer has been sent to prison for running drugs for supposed drug traffickers. Former Sgt. Jeffry Courtney was sentenced last Friday to nine years in federal prison after pleading guilty to heroin trafficking conspiracy charges. He accepted at least $22,000 to guard purported heroin shipments for New York mobsters, but the mobsters turned out to be FBI agents. Courtney is the fourth Hollywood Police Department officer to be sent to prison in the sting, known as Tarnished Bronze. A fifth is set to be sentenced in October for lying to FBI agents about letting word of the sting leak out.

In Naples, Florida, two Florida prison guards were arrested August 8 for arranging to smuggle cocaine to a prisoner. Guards Jawaan Rice, 21, and Modeste Pierre, 18, are charged with cocaine trafficking, smuggling a controlled substance into a correctional facility, and prison employee receiving a bribe. The pair, who were trainees hired in June, went down after prison officials overheard Rice and an inmate conspiring to bring a large quantity of coke into the prison. The prisoner turned informant and arranged a cocaine delivery with Rice and Pierre. An undercover police officer made the delivery and the subsequent arrests. The pair have been fired.

Cialis now a controlled drug?

Since when did the impotence treatment pills become a controlled drugs? As stated above, the guy was charged with controlled drug offenses. Does that mean they are going to make everything controlled, that is not OTC? So what makes this thing a felony in the first place? There is a big problem here!

Do the prosecutors just make up the laws as they go along? Do they file bogus charges so they will look better in the press? Do they fix it after the fact, when it is found that the charges given to the media, were erroneous? The damage has been done. The cop was busted for selling VIAGRA!!!! It is not a controlled or dangerous drug. Granted, there are dangerous side effects of Cialis. Unless you want to consider that aspirin, an OTC medicine, is more dangerous than the sum total of all of the opiods and not any worse than this prescription (and not controlled) medicine!!

If you can't get it up and need the pills, the only way you are going to get them is to embarrass yourself, spilling it all to the doctor.
Don't think you are going to get those cholesterol pills without seeing a doctor and spending BIG BUCKS for your appointment!!? You (the patients) are not going to get away with it! It is too dangerous!!! Nanny is watching!
