This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories
Two LAPD cops go away for a long time for sexually assaulting female drug suspects, a Pennsylvania attorney general's narc gets popped for a drug cash rip-off scheme, a Washington state local cop gets popped stealing pain pills, and more. Let's get to it:

Officer Stacey Lee Smaaladen, 49, told investigators she took the pills to supplement her own legally prescribed pain medications. She is charged with theft and felony drug possession.
In Warsaw, New York, a state prison guard was arrested last Thursday on charges he took money from inmates at the Wyoming Correctional Facility in exchange for drugs. Guard William Fannan, 37, allegedly took money to smuggle synthetic cannabinoids into the prison. He is charged with third-degree receiving a bribe, first-degree promoting prison contraband, official misconduct and fifth-degree conspiracy.
In Galveston, Texas, a Galveston police officer was arrested last Friday amidst allegations he supplied a suspected drug dealer with information that helped him avoid other police officers. Officer John Rutherford is accused of providing the suspect with information of officers' locations, working assignments, and work patterns. He is charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, misusing official information, and a weapons violation.
In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a former state attorney general's office narcotics agent was arrested last Friday for allegedly participating in a scheme to launder stolen drug proceeds. Timothy Riley, 48, is accused of conspiring with the driver of a truck carrying more than $2.5 million in drug cash to set up a bust where he reported seizing only $1.77 million. In return for his services, Riley received three cash payments totaling $48,000. He is charged with money laundering and other offenses and is looking at up to 20 years in prison.
In Los Angeles, two LAPD officers were sentenced Monday to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting four women they were investigating on drug charges. Officers James Nichols and Luis Valenzuela pleaded guilty to two counts each of forcible rape and forcible oral copulation. The pair were patrol partners who rampaged between 2008 and 2011, according to prosecutors.

This whole crisis is bigger
This whole crisis is bigger than anyone imagines! And the who"s who? Follow the money trail! Our very own politicians are not immune. And who works for who? Again, repeat above. And who still thinks that lowly pain patients , who sign contracts! Get urine tested! , have their pills counted, the few prescribed that is, monthly visits, and by gosh, dont even complain of pain, as you will be fired from them for drug seeking behavior! That is, if you are lucky at all to have ANY opioids prescribed , and are still in pain , because of "the new laws" which btw are supposedly guidelines but enforced by scared drs. Now told, "suck it up, tough it out" take tylenol, meditate your unrelenting excrutiating pain away! The idea i believe, jmo, get rid of the offenders ,"those kind of people" , problem solved, ? N[ more pain meds, patients can take no more , suicide! They do it themselves! Hows that for giving your life to the cause? No muss no fuss! More money for ss thats being "wasted" on disabled folks. Plus, the now addicts are going to be prescribed suboxone type meds, another opioid! We are then , sheeple! Tada!
Money, power , and control!
Money, power , and control! Did i leave anything out?
