OT Bad Week for Black DemRats and One Asian DemRat
Beginning to see a pattern....
http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/...al-5352182.php ------ Charlotte, NC, mayor resigns after being accused of taking bribes, charged with corruption CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon, who has been in office less than six months, resigned Wednesday, just hours after he was arrested and accused of taking more than $48,000 in bribes from undercover FBI agents posing as businessmen who wanted to do work with North Carolina's largest city. Cannon submitted his resignation letter to city manager Ron Carlee and city attorney Bob Hagemann, Charlotte spokesman Keith Richardson said in an email. The 47-year-old Cannon is charged with bribery and public corruption. The Democrat took cash, airline tickets, a hotel room and the use of a luxury apartment as bribes and solicited more than $1 million more, according to a criminal complaint from the U.S. Attorney's office. -------- Federal agents today raided the Albany and city offices of Queens Democratic Assemblyman Bill Scarborough, the FBI confirmed this afternoon. "The FBI conducted searches today of the Albany and New York City Offices of New York State Assemblyman William Scarborough," FBI Albany spokesman Paul Holstein said in a statement. "At this time, no further information is being released." ------ California senator, alleged mobsters netted in American Hustle-style FBI sting Published March 27, 2014 Call it "American Hustle" gone West. An elaborate FBI sting culminated this week after two undercover officers -- who posed as East Coast Mafia members -- helped take down 26 Californians, including an influential state senator with alleged ties to an Asian mob. State Sen. Leland Yee, an outspoken Democrat who is a gun control and open government advocate, was arrested Wednesday on charges he conspired to traffic in firearms and traded favors in Sacramento for bribes. He was allegedly taking bribes from men who turned out to be FBI agents. |

Oh the irony I know from personal experience that FBI agents, the great majority whom are beyond reproach, will investigate a crime, arrest the criminal but the US Attorney can toss it and refuse to prosecute. As you know, our Affirmative Action Attorney General has ordered his assistants to drop a number of cases. It happens in both Republican and Democrat administrations where who they prosecute is based on politics rather than The Rule Of Law. ^_^ TDD |

There is a vast difference in "discretion" than being arbitrary and capricious. Honesty. Being " beyond reproach" is a study, practice, using a good deal of discretion and honesty. In 25 years as a LEO, I did not use "politics" in my decisions. Bite and kick, I'll beat some ass -- "You can not rehabilitate a person that has never been habilitated!" -- Convict Guard 101 |

Heck most of the LEO's I know are good folks. It's just those bad few and the fact that the good guys don't want to be rats. O_o TDD |
