Harvey, IL "Only Ones" Update..

As Kaveman noted, the total arrested is now up to 15. Technically they were 10 Cook County Sheriff's correctional officers, four Harvey cops and one Chicago police officer. It gets better:
An undercover FBI sting two years in the making - centered on the town of Harvey - allegedly saw crooked officers agree to provide muscle for what they believed were a dozen large-scale drug deals, including deals in the parking lots of chain restaurants, stores and hotels in Tinley Park, Oak Lawn, Matteson and Homewood.
And yet even though they've broken all moral and ethical boundaries of the oaths they took to uphold the law, they're still getting special treatment:
All 13 officers who appeared before Federal Judge Michael Mason Tuesday afternoon were freed without bail, as were two other men who are not employed as police officers were also charged.


UPDATE: "Weapons Distribution" as well.

Seems Tanya Pain was partially right. Suburbanites WERE going into the cities to trade guns for smack. It just happened that the Suburbanites were wearing badges at the time.

I'm kinda tempted to call up the sheriff's offices involved and asking if they could provide security for a large coke shipment moving through their parts.

Of course, I'm also tempted to call up the FBI and tell them that if they don't drop all charges against drug dealing cops, they could get sued for obstruction of uh, commerce.

I guess the thin blue line in Harvey must be gang colors.
