They always say, "It's about the money" and I guess that's true.

In any profession there are those who will take advantage of their position. Corrupt cops arent anything new, there was recently a sting that brought down members of the Boston PD.

Consider the troops in Iraq. Generally we think of them as making a sacrifice and doing a difficult job... They are often called heroes...

There was a group that ripped off their fellows soldiers credit card info, made large purchases which were shipped to the soldiers, which never made it out of the mailroom...

The soldiers who murdered innocent civilians

I beleive there is a pending rape trial...

In all walks of life, even with the most respected and honorable groups, there is a portion that suck.

It's greed. Some folks never seem to have enough money and always have things they want beyond their earning abilities.
It is a shame when that kind of thing happens to people you depend on to protect you, but they are human and have faults.

You're right, Jeff, they do.

If we knew Rick or I could retire at 55 with a pension and health care, we'd be doing a not screwing it up by being greedy. A damn shame.

It's really a shame as it gives a blackeye to all those that try and do the right thing.
