This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories
A quiet week on the corrupt cops front this week. We've got a pill-poppin' New England trooper stealing from the dead and a former New Orleans cop caught trying to peddle dope. Let's get to it:
[image:1 align:right]In Bridgeport, Connecticut, a former state trooper rejected a plea bargain and will instead face trial on charges he stole money and property from a motorcyclist killed in a traffic accident. Former Trooper Aaron Huntsman turned down a plea bargain that would have seen him do a year in jail, but now faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Huntsman claimed he was strung out on prescription pain pills when he committed the theft, which was caught on his cruiser's camera, and he went into treatment after his arrest.
In New Orleans, a former New Orleans police officer pleaded not guilty Wednesday to violating the federal Controlled Substances Act. Jason Cross was arrested November 1 on charges he conspired to sell drugs in January. Federal prosecutors filed a bill of information rather than an indictment against Cross, suggesting that he is cooperating with prosecutors. He is looking at up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted on the current charges.

Sick, dim, sadist politics
right on, friend
You nailed it... and it is SO frustrating since it seems so sensible: "The issue at hand in order to decide whether to prosecute or not, should only be, whether or not the user actually does any harm to the outside world, to another human (or another living being)."
Unfortunately, you can see how afraid people are of making decisions of these kinds in the zero tolerance regimes in place at America's schools. A plastic butter knife and an Uzi get the same response. There is NO sense of proportionality in our law any longer. Obscene.
