Three Boston policemen are accused of drug dealing. They were caught in an FBI sting. Unfortunately for the police officers, there is a video of the discussion they had when the first delivery was made. That video was shown in court yesterday and presents a heck of a challenge to the police officers' attorneys; I don't see how they can get their clients off.
An interesting sidelight by Brian McGrory, a Boston Globe columnist: Since 1999, 61 police officers have tested positive for cocaine, that's one every six weeks or so. I'm surprised that so many were caught when it is a common practice for cocaine testing to be done within a month of a police officer's birthday. Oh, there is no real penalty for testing positive. You're not fired. You get a few days off.
