More scumbag cops

[MARIS61]

Former Helena-West Helena police officer Marlene Kalb was convicted of extortion and attempt to possess a controlled substance but was acquitted on a money-laundering charge. She pleaded not guilty to all charges and testified in her own defense Wednesday. Jurors had deliberated since Thursday.

Kalb was among dozens of people indicted last year in the investigation called "Operation Delta Blues." Four former law enforcement officers pleaded guilty to various charges.

Police said Kalb twice accepted money to protect drug shipments.

Randy Coleman, head of the FBI in Arkansas, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that Kalb's conviction was a bittersweet moment.

"It's bitter in the fact that yet another sworn law enforcement officer, the fifth in this case, has been convicted of misusing her position in exchange for a couple payments worth $500," Coleman said. "It's sweet in that it shows what we can do as a team in addressing public corruption, law enforcement corruption, violent gang and drug activity."

The thread is about crooked police, which to me are pretty much the opposite of what we all would like to get when our taxes are paying each of them upwards of $100,000 a year plus bennies. Maybe you think all cops are alike, but I have faith that many have good intentions, and many perform great deeds like catching murderers and drunk drivers.

But I myself no longer seek their assistance in emergencies as they have repeatedly failed me in several past dangerous situations. Overall I have found them to be inept, slow to read the scene, and likely to cause a tense situation to turn unnecessarily violent. They are not an asset to me in my personal sphere of existence.

But getting back to bad cops and crooked cops. I'd be fine with a minimum sentence of 20 years or so. It's a very serious abuse of the public trust.
