Are Cops Above the Law?

Another case of cops protecting their own. This woman, who took part in putting people in prison for coc aine use, is herself enjoying her retirement benefits even though it appears that she was on leave and in rehab for her drug use.

How is it that cops are above the law?

That's ridiculous! This woman stole drugs from a police lab, compromising 180 investigations and gets NO charges AND is allowed to retire with full benefits. This stuff makes me sick!

There's no justice in the world when police can get away with this kind of stuff.

Things are just getting worse to. In Pittsburgh, officers are threatening to protest because charges were dropped against a kid they beat up for carrying a bottle of Mountain Dew and in Philly, the FOP is celebrating the return of officers caught on videotaped beating 3 black men after a car chase.
