VA Cops selling drugs & guns
Who would think that police would be selling drugs that they have taken from drug busts?? According to this article up to 19 men from Virginia were allegedely selling drugs and guns to the public. These man were doing their duties, busting drug headquarters, taking away guns when they were not supposed to have, but instead of throwing them out- flushing them down the toilet or doing whatever the procedure was, they were selling them. They got really into it, they had spots for a drug drops.. Some of the charges brought againist them including The theft of drugs and firearms in the custody of the sheriff's department, Distribution of cocaine, marijuana and a date rape drug, Money laundering, and Obstruction of justice.This defys so many things police usually stand for. It really makes me wonder whats going on around with other police men and women are doign around the world. Let me know some of your fed back about what you think and what you think should be done with these men!

The actions that these policemen were very disturbing and does shake the foundations of what we believe the police are for. However, we can't let the actions of a handful of corrupt police officers be a representation of all officers (ok...more than a handful, and not only in the police office). Just like in politics, you can find people who care only for their own wealth and advancement, but a majority of the people there do the jobs that we have elected them to do (hopefully I don't sound naive). Usually, though, you hear about corrupt cops and drug trafficing in less developed contries (like Columbia, for example), and certainly we never really hear about extensive plans of drugs and cops working together in the United States. As for their punishment, they should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, because they knew what the consequences were when they were committing the crime.
