That's a pretty neat multimedia presentation. Woooosh - 12-3-2008 at 12:01 PM
And we should remember that corrupt police work with the narcos on both sides of the border- not just the south side.
"Fifteen Illinois law enforcement officers were arrested yesterday (Dec 2) in an FBI sting on charges that included accepting cash in exchange for
providing armed protection for drug-dealing operations in south-suburban Chicago.
Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, described the charges as "particularly shocking." He said two of the officers
helped an undercover FBI agent unload and deliver duffel bags stuffed with drugs that had been flown in on a private plane."BajaGringo - 12-3-2008 at 12:10 PM
It is considered common knowledge in the DEA that the drug trafficking has been so successful only with the help of law enforcement on both sides of
the border. My son-in-law is in law enforcement and was invited to join a drug task force in central California. He declined when he was advised that
some members of that same task force were suspected to be working both sides of the fence and might present a greater danger to him than the cartels
themselves.
Offer enough money and you will discover how many that wear a badge will accept it - no matter what side of the border they are on. To me it's just
another reason to look at legalization. Wish it wasn't that way but I have just become less idealistic and more pragmatic as the years go by...motoged - 12-3-2008 at 02:27 PM
