This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories

Drug War Issues

A pervy, predatory probation officer goes to prison, a half-dozen Maryland prison guards go down in a racketeering case, and more. Let's get to it:

In Kenosha, Wisconsin, a Kenosha County Sheriff's Department jail guard was arrested last Friday for allegedly delivering drugs to an inmate on repeated occasions. Guard Devine Jackson, 24, went down after a tip that he was smuggling cocaine into the jail inside tubes of tooth paste. When confronted, Jackson confessed. He now faces four felony charges: possession with intent to deliver cocaine (less than 1 gram) on or near a jail, manufacture/deliver cocaine (less than 1 gram) on or near a jail, deliver illegal articles to an inmate and misconduct in public office.

[image:1 align:left]In Jessup, Maryland, six prison guards and staff members were arrested Tuesday along with seven inmates and seven outside "facilitators" in a racketeering case at the Maryland Correctional Facility. The guards and prison staff allegedly took bribes to smuggle in contraband including drugs, tobacco, cell phones, and unauthorized flash drives. Among the drugs involved were heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana and K2.

In Rome, Georgia, a former Rome probation officer was sentenced Monday to six years in prison for taking advantage of his position to coerce sexual favors from drug users under court supervision. Anyoel Cordovi had pleaded guilty to felony charges that he had sex with one probationer and exchanged nude photos with another. He will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release.

AG Bill Barr, Traitor Trump's third Attorney General and the nation's so-called "top cop," is openly covering for Trump's treason with Putin.

America's Attorney General should be working for America, not for a traitor like Trump!  Yet he continues to protect Trump from being held accountable to justice.

Bill Barr is a goddamn criminal.  His legal "opinions" are worthless, at best, and likely criminal, in that they represent obstruction of justice.

His fascist loyalty to Trump represents a cover-up, of the cover-up, of TRUMP'S BLATANT COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA TO STEAL AN AMERICAN ELECTION!!

Bill Barr takes the trophy for "corrupt cop" this week!!

Today's cannabinoid-assisted word-structure-interpretation goes with apologies to any fundamentally decent person who made the fateful misjudgment to be known by the name "Bill" or gave that name to a child.  Though there's been no research to show it, I suspect names or labels which cause persons to be ill make a h + ell of a lot of money for Drug companies and Haw spittles.

I kinda like the Russians.  They've had it pretty rough over the last 100 years but didn't turn out too bad.  To me, colluding back and forth between peoples of the world is good.  I don't mind listening to what the Russians have to say, I mean, there are lots of Americans that spew more shit than the Russians do any day of the week.  Who's perspective is more accurate to reality, CNN, Fox News, the Russians?  This is not to mention that the most important goal of capitalism is to fund social works and objectives, we need both, one should not win at the expense of the other.  A society based upon greed or one in which individuals are not allowed.  Face it, humans aren't as intelligent as they think they are.

Russiantroll,

The point is Trump is a traitor, and an operative for a hostile adversary.   Have a grownup explain to you why that's bad.

Humans may not be as smart as they think they are (speak for yourself) but that doesn't make willful ignorance a valid lifestyle choice.  Your obtuse comments prove my point.
