When I lived in Denver in the 60s the caught two cops with a stolen safe in the trunk of their patrol car. Police crime was rapent and (as I remember)
about 20 cops lost their jobs and ended up in prison.

Denver cop and robber reconciles his troubled past
By Kevin Simpson
The Denver Post
Posted: 02/16/2010 01:00:00 AM
Former Denver policeman Art Winstanley points to squad-car partner Jack Snodgrass, back to the camera, in 1961. Winstanley had begun serving time when
he testified against fellow cops in the scandal.
Months after Art Winstanley hammered out a cathartic, self-published account of his descent into crime, scandal, alcoholism and prison, the venture
still finds him hundreds of dollars in the hole.
But the writing process, spread over three years and nearly 300 pages, had one definite payoff: It helped him reconcile a troubled past and his place
in local history.
In 1960, Winstanley became the first domino to fall in what stood then as the biggest and most public case of police corruption in the nation.
More than 50 area law enforcement figures — nearly all of them Denver police officers — were swept up in a burglary ring in which cops cracked safes
and made off with an estimated $250,000 from more than 200 heists involving businesses on their beats. More than 40 did time. The ring operated for at
least a decade, insulated by police prerogative and a code of silence.
Then, as Winstanley sped away from a job one night, a safe literally fell out of his car trunk and into the path of a police cruiser. That began his
half-century struggle to come to grips with his slice of infamy and the damage he inflicted on his family, friends and colleagues.
"Even though I made a lot of bad choices, it's a barometer to measure how happy I am today," says Winstanley, 74.

Bad Cops
Bad Cops appear to be the Norm Today. I remember when the whole City Police Force in Kansas City Mo. was kicked out and the State Police took Control.
For years it was referred to as The Kansas City State Police .
And the latest, the San Diego Ca. police Chief Resigns.
I notice even in my community in Baja a lot of Retired Police APPEAR to carry a sense of Entitlement into their retired life

I just LOVE the postage stamp size
no right turn on red allowed
signs in the San Diego area
This is classic premeditated entrapment as a NORMAL SIZE international sign would be the standard.
Hah! Should a local DEMAND all monies derived from an illegal right turn at an intersection with such a sign BE MANDATED to help road maintenance, you
would hear an outcry that would reach the outskirts of Culiacan Sinaloa.

Back when I worked narcotics, a pound of Mexican meth could be purchased in LA for around $3500. Take that pound to NYC and deal it off for $25,000.
Nice profit for about a weeks work. Makes you wonder.
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

union adjusted his story, read what the police union told him to say
EL CAJON, Calif. — An El Cajon police officer shot an unarmed bicyclist in the face Friday when the man moved his hands toward his waist as if trying
to pull out a weapon, authorities said.
The shooting happened shortly after 10 a.m. in the 1300 block of East Main Street near Walter Way.
The officer observed a bicycle rider make an illegal U-turn in front of the Best Car 4U used car lot, El Cajon police Lt. Tim Henton said. When the
officer ordered the rider to stop, the rider looked at him and continued riding away, so the officer got out of his patrol car and chased after the
man, Henton said.
The man finally stopped and as the officer approached, he moved his hands to his waist, Henton said. The officer ordered to man to remove his hand,
and when he didn’t comply, he shot him, fearing for his life, Henton said.
The man was taken to a local trauma center and was expected to survive, Henton said.
The officer has been placed on administrative leave pending and internal department investigation of the shooting, Henton said.

Sooo...she wasn't really driving. Maybe they'll make her a general for showing so much good judgment.

After listening to what little news was offered, I got the impression that the chief and Falconer, the mayor elect, were having problems.
We'll never know.

Full sized sign but you could get a ticket for driving on either side.

Maybe it is upside
down and was designed to be read by people who drive standing on their heads.

NO excuse for Police corruption
BUT it impossible to hire 100% good employees in any profession
and unless you have done the job you really have no clue on what it really entails
PS those signs do meet the MINIMUM State requirements…………
