Boston Cop Worked for Colombian Cocaine Cartel

And thus the CIA, right?

I mean, come on!

We ALL KNOW they are the BIGGEST DRUG-RUNNERS in the WORLD!!!

"Former Boston officer sentenced to 11 years

A former Boston police officer was sentenced to more than 11 years in federal prison yesterday for conspiring to extort $265,000 on behalf of Colombian drug dealers while in uniform, one of a series of recent corruption scandals in the Police Department.

US District Court Judge Rya W. Zobel sentenced Jose A. "Flaco" Ortiz, 46, formerly of Salem, to 11 years and three months in prison followed by five years of supervised release in connection with extortion and cocaine-related charges.

"Of all our recent cases combating police corruption, this was among the most egregious," US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan said in a statement after sentencing. "To have a uniformed officer, carrying his badge and weapon, extort money on behalf of a Colombian drug ring cuts at the heart of our system of justice."

So does a band of lying, looting, law-breaking, war-criminal torturers and mass-murderers, but I don't see anyone doing anything about the Bush administration.
