Former NYC detective says he and colleagues fabricated drug charges to meet arrest quotas

Former NYC detective says he and colleagues fabricated drug charges to meet arrest quotas. Crooks in Washington DC go free while innocent folks in NYC get busted. Something is seriously wrong in the US today and it starts with those at the top, for as we all know sh*t rolls downhill. That’s the new Sherlock Holmes in the picture below.

  • So these guys go out and completely ruin peoples' lives so they can fulfill a quota?

    Anyone who was arrested, and especially if they actually served time, or so much as spent a minute in a holding cell (that would be "the Tombs" - the Manhattan city jail), should be able to sue these guys for absolutely every single thing they own that is worth more than a dime. Everything. Including the ties they are wearing. Take every single thing and throw them out on the street with a lien on every single cent they may earn for the rest of their lives, even if it's wiping windshields.

    And I wouldn't lose one second of sleep over that.

  • Setting quotas, be it for narcotics arrests, speeding tickets, college admissions or job hiring/promotion inevitably leads to corruption. It's just a matter of how the corruption manifests itself: false arrests, phony tickets, phony college entrance qualifications, bribes. Many people engage in the corruption to further their own careers but, inevitably, the corruption erodes one's feeling of probity, self-respect and faith in the work you're doing.

  • Maybe some day these cops will be proud family men and someone comes along and gives them a payback. Karma is a MOFO.

  • Jeebus Xmas, look at those two. Are those the cops, or the Corleone Family Goombahs?

    I hate having to hear about crooked cops, dammit. Blame it on NY.
