Cop-A-Shop-A-Lott Not?

Remember the video during Hurricane Katrina when some number of polce officers were walking through a store looting it with shopping carts? Apparently, New Orleans isn't the only Louisiana town with a problem. Cop-A-Shop-A-Lott Not?

ROBELINE, La. (AP) - This village's only convenience store decided to do something nice for its police officers: give them a free fountain drink or coffee at closing time. But somewhere along the way, investigators say, it got out of control. Now, all three of the village's officers are accused of stealing snacks.

... "There's no telling how it got to this point, but the store started experiencing losses and they watch their videotapes and see all of this going on."

Surveillance tapes showed each officer going into the Shop-A-Lott at Lott Oil around closing time and filling plastic bags with dozens of bottled soft drinks, Trammell said. The officers also are reportedly seen eating an assortment of other snacks without paying.

I'm shocked - shocked, I say!! - that there is rampant corruption and a sense of entitlement among law enforcement. BTW, they can tell a hell of a lie, too, particularly on the stand.

that's true. clinton's FBI and ATF assholes gleefully perjured themselves repeatedly in their "sworn testimony" as to how they bravely incinerated women and kids back in waco. but they were smarter than the above donut cops: the waco tapes "got lost".
