She is only guilty of operating an unlicensed drug store without the proper business licenses and paying her fair share of taxes, that's all.

She'll fit right in with the New York cops who bought guns in Virginia (with taxpayer money) to "prove" Virginia is a source of guns for New York criminals -- and then sold the guns to criminals and pocketed the money.

She looks kinda cute, so I forgive her.

Compared to in New York city in the bad old days of the '50s, '60s and 70's when the NYPD was mostly a white boys club this is nothing. When I was a Fed working in New York City from 1972-1978 the NYPD had a reputation for official corruption that would have put the P.D.s of most third world dictatorships to shame. We actually had NYPD officers on the "pad" for organized crime disrupting surveillances by hasseling the Agents conducting them. Heck a whole Narcotics Division, minus a couple of people were convicted of official corruption and packed off to prison. Ever see the movies "Serpico" or "A Prince of the City?" I had some first hand experience with people involved with those and it really was that bad.

The Serpico incident and the Knapp commission made a big impact and comparatively speaking the NYPD is a paragon of integrity today.

A bunch of cops doing hard time tends to get peoples attention.

Or at least that's what they'd have us believe.

I doubt the Ozark sentiment concerns them.

No, its a fact. I was there, I saw firsthand the massive corruption in the NYPD in the 1970s. There's corruption in all government agencies and it certainly exists in the NYPD, but ITS its nothing like pervasive institutionalized corruption when I was there. The clean up of the NYPD had no small part in making New York City the safest large city in the U.S. I'd never live in that cesspool again but I do know the history.

I'll take your word for it -- I guess the corruption has moved up the food chain.

Now that is definitely true and you'll get no argument from me on that one. The same thing's happened a lot of places including the FBI.

On the ground one of the advantages of cleaning up the NYPD is that the cops are spending more time being cops and less time being crooks.

Right now the murder rate in New York City is 3.9 per 100,000 compared to 7.1 in Los Angeles, 11 in Houston, and a whopping 16.02 in Chicago (no surprise on that one!!!)

Broken window policing started, as I recall in New York City and was remarkably successful in reducing crime. It is, of course, under attack by liberals.

And in Florida, they have been known to waive felony convictions.
