Officer Bob

LOS ANGELES - Well, it’s another case of meddling do-gooders up to their old tricks inna City of Angels. The cops just can’t win these days. Now there’s new anti-corruption rules about LA officers working in the gang or drug divisions having to submit financial statements to the department. And why is that? It’s because a few bad apples ruin it for everybody, dat’s why.

Look, just because a constable pockets a key of blow here or shakes down a neighborhood car theft ring there, that don’t mean they’re crooked. Hey, you want the money to go to the gangs? No you don’t. You want it to end up in the hands of criminals or do you want it to go to building decks on officers’ houses?

Look, if cops gotta start answering questions about how a guy making $34,000 a year in uniform is driving a new Escalade every year, then it’s a slippery slope. Next thing you know, they’re gonna be tappin’ your phone.
