Several were arrested yesterday in a parking-ticket scam. <br /><br />L'Oreal donations should embarass the heck out of Sarkozy for other reasons. I believe the founders were supporters of the Nazis and participated in some pretty violent acts. Someone wrote a book about those connections.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-56296586804892316262011-10-26T10:13:39.841-04:002011-10-26T10:13:39.841-04:00To drag out the oft used statement, "Power co...To drag out the oft used statement, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely", and apply it to this case is too easy. The police have the power to investigate and arrest but too many don't have the power to step back from the temptation offered by the kind of money that comes from selling drugs.<br /><br />I imagine that the police in France are no better paid than the police in any other country. The drug squad loses cops to drugs and to money much more often than is reported. How does an undercover detective pretend to be a dealer, most of whom sell drugs to pay for their own addictions, without the necessity of sampling some of the product? <br /><br />Michel, if guilty, has more than a few fellow-travelers across the world.

They pull more quality arrests than their peers because they're paid not only for protection but for shutting down the competition. Great deal: Glory and the cash. <br /><br />Folks I knew who hung around with the cops involved in the NYC filming of "The French Connection" (released 1971) were not surprised when it later came out that all the drugs seized in that famous 1962 bust had been stolen from the NYPD property room. <br /> <br />Viva [fill in the blank]!!Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.com
