A Brooklyn police officer trying to make extra money to buy a house pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy charges, admitting his central role in a smuggling case that involved guns, cigarettes and slot machines.

Officer William Masso, 48, could face roughly five to six years in prison at a June 15 sentencing. He was the first among a dozen individuals to enter a plea that negates the need for a trial in the case that was built over the past two years. Others charged include three retired New York Police Department officers and a New Jersey correction officer.

There are plenty of examples, the guy in your town got busted pretty good too. Here is a thread I did on a former Meth task force member who got busted trading meth for sex.

Actually it would be these are the people breaking the law.

The investigators who did their job that allowed these officers to be charged are the ones who did their job by enforcing the law.

Between Federal down to the college campus, there are 800, 000 law enforcement officers. so yea, the 50 you have heard about on ATS that people scrounge for to blast police officers, are not indicative of the field.

funny how ATSers don't go out of their way to find the good things that police officers do, or it wouldn't be as much fun to hate the piggies.

There needs to be a power shift. Someone needs to re-write how the power should distributed, and WHO has it. Both these events took place near me, and both show how excessive power is used in the wrong way.

All I ask is keep it in perspective..


It is being put into perspective, all the law abiding officers don't need to be offended by this post as this was about the corrupt individuals in Brooklyn and the guns they smuggled, among other crimes they committed. In no way whatsoever am I taking any honor from the good police officers. My problem is with the jackboot thugs who practice and defend these actions on a daily basis.
