These Cops were So Corrupt, that their Entire Department was Just Raided by Multiple Agencies
By John Vibes * March 26, 2015 * Free Thought Project
Brooklyn, Illinois This week, the Brooklyn Police Department was raided by a number of other law enforcement agencies, including, the Illinois State Police, and the St. Clair County Sheriff.
On Wednesday, local news crews witnessed police from different agencies carrying equipment, computers, weapons and records out of the building and driving away with them.
Local News 4 reported that the raid was connected to corruption allegations, which relate to the theft of evidence, weapons, drugs and other items from the evidence room.
Outside the Police Department, Illinois State Police Capt. James Morrisey told reporters that the raid was in reference to some allegations received by Illinois State Police and the States Attorneys office. No further information is available at this time.
One former officer, Chris Heatherly reportedly kept an AR-15 rifle in his car that had been stolen from the evidence room. He flaunted the rifle in a photo that was later used for a police department calendar. Other guns and drugs that were missing from Heatherlys cases have yet to be found.

(1,606 posts)Funneling surplus equipment to police departments is an invitation for disaster. I wonder how many M14s and other such materials have come us "missing"? (Assuming there is even an accounting procedure).
It's some really crazy, short-sighted bullshit.
