Another Public Servant Caught Stealing

July 19th, 2007

Whether it’s random shootings, a thug mayor drunk with the power of a municipal expense account, or carjackings, or random shootings, or a K9 handler eating the evidence (OK, so the last one wasn’t technically Detroit), the City loves it’s bad publicity.

Today’s “that’s-so-fucking-crazy-I-think-I-saw-it-in-a-movie-once” Detroitism, is this stunning revelation about a Detroit cop who tried to pull a switcheroo with some evidence:

“[a] narcotics officer has been suspended for allegedly stealing six kilograms, about 13.2 pounds, of uncut cocaine from the department’s property room… [Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings] said the uncut cocaine has a street value of about $2.4 million.”

Six kilograms? That’s Tony Montana-esque mountains of blow. This unnamed officer was a “veteran narcotics officer” who apparently often had access to drugs. It’s extraordinarily unlikely that his first boost was multi-million dollar heist of 6 kilos, which makes me wonder how many times he’s gotten away with it in the past. Sickening.

As I said in response to the Dearborn-K9 story, “How many people were punished as a result of this turd’s psychological projection? How many people lost their jobs, their licenses, their kids, or their scholarships?

It’s just so wrong.
