Why would I investigate my employer? A healthy chunk of that $15B in CEO salary works its way back into the hands of officers via lobbying for increased pay/benefits, kickbacks to police unions and sheriff's society's, and direct hiring for police "consultants" and overpaid rent-a-cops.

If burglars want to enjoy these benefits, they need to get back to the old school way of doing business. Get. Mobbed. Up. You didn't see Irish cops bothering the American wing of the IRA or Italian cops hassling the mafia. Burglars need to do the same thing as the rest of the working class and get organized. One stick is easily broken. A bundle is far sturdier.

They are mobbed up. Always have been. If you'd been to prison and followed the unwritten rules then you'd already know.
