Police Corruption

Cops cutting corners to make arrests, a cop caught providing protection for a load of cocaine, and a police force fired for its misbehavior make this week's rogues' gallery.

We've got sticky-fingered SWAT cops, we've got perverted probation officers, we've got smack-slinging uniformed police officers, we've got strung out, pill-stealing cops, and, of course, we've got crooked jail guards.

A former Border Patrol agent goes to prison, a former deputy police chief cops a plea, a sticky-fingered former cop gets sent away, too, and a deputy and three jail guards get busted.

A Florida 2010 Officer of the Year goes down, so does a Georgia police officer and a Georgia jail guard.

Ah, the crooked prison guards are back. We missed them last week, but we knew they wouldn't stay away long.

Mexico's president feels "misunderstood" about his bloody drug war, but the killings continue despite his hurt feelings.

Last Wednesday was a bloody day in Nuevo Leon, and last weekend was a bloody one in Michoacan. And those are just the high-lights.

It never ends, does it? Another week, another set of crooked cops. At least this week, the jail and prison guards managed to stay out of the news.

We've got it all this week: jail guards, police dispatchers, parole officers, big city narcs, small town deputies...

Criminal cops -- they just keep coming. Oh, and prison guards and Customs agents, too.
