- Responding to AmCPD2 comments: You have all this wrong. You do not know what Keith Herrera had gone through. So You can sit there and write what you said below & knowing that if you were in his shoes wouldn''t do the same. You''re a LAIR.... !!! How do you know if his life was on the line when this money was tossed on his lap. How do you know if his partner''s passing was an example of what could have happen to him. Can you tell me diffent. I think not. If your life was on the line I beleive you would have done the same. The only reason why he went public is to let everyone know yes he did wrong & will pay for that. No deals were made.. He didn''t want 4 other lives to be killed & families to be destory. Keith did not do this for himself but for others(rookies) to know that what to do & to be brave to speak up now that its okay.. Just last week a rookie from Bedford Park IL. Took his own life because of the peer pessure of being a police officer.. So think about what you say & look at the whole picture.. Keith yes did wrong but he has gotten on the right track & saved some lives here fellow officers &families that are involve. Plus you can''t tell all of us in the world that you never did anything wrong..

- These guys are going to have so much fun in jail, sodomy with a screwdriver sounds horrific but I bet the cons in whatever hole they end up in can come up with something a whole lot worse for these particular ***, and they deserve everything that''s coming too them!

- Herrera is a criminal. He was dirty from day one. He only told his version of the story because he lost his way in the dept and thinks this might help him out of a long, long jail term. Again, he is looking out for HIMSELF. The day he took the money tossed on his lap was the day he bacame a criminal. A good copper can always spot the bad ones. They have a certain aura or charisma that causes you to feel it in your gut. He is the prime example of the few bad apples in almost every department world wide. This kind of person also exists in every business and family out there. Unfortunately, the city hired him because he knew someone. Herrera got to SOS with only 3 yrs on the job, again by knowing somebody. The other 6 indicted officers knew the game and some have since retired, are stripped without pay and stripped w/ pay or sitting in jail pending trial. The fact that Herrera admitted to taking money (over 90k) on TV nationwide should immediatedly land him in prison. This bad apple ruined the rest of the bushel. Only time will heal the very bad wound.

- Was that "star" on a big fur hat, because you sure sound a lot like the propaganda stories they used to tell us about the Russians.
America, what a country.
Cops are corrupt, IA are corrupt, the politicians are corrupt, the media are corrupt.

- Now you are counting on cops to stop drugs, the same cops that are profitting from stealing the drug money. How is this supposed to work exactly because the logic escapes me. On an end note, if the police can not even keep drugs out of jails what makes them think they can get them off any street corner USA? When people locked in cages and watched by corrections offficers 24/7 can get drugs I think its a safe bet to say your war has been a failure beyond that of anything ever attempted before and you need to re-evaluate the situation. But that would take logic and thinking something cops and their leaders are totally void.

- Cops are corrupt plain and simple. How many more times will we have to see these stories before we all agree something needs to be done and not by the politicians that also need to be sent home for their own failures.
I knew the Warden of a Jail that used illegal drugs. He was my best friends brother in law. I always asked my friend how he could leave his office everyday and go home a free man knowing others were locked in cages in the building he was leaving for doing nothing different then what he himself did. Me friend said it was just a job. And that says it all, to cops its just a job and it is them versus us. They will always do anything they can to protect themselves no matter how wrong they were and what the evidence shows to be the truth. After all it is just a job. If this is your top level of personal character then you deserve a job scooping up dog *** or road kill not enforcing laws with special powers over the public. I for one have enough courage to leave what I know to be against my moral code of conduct and would never even work such a job no matter how much pay or power is presented. These people will be the ones going to hell in the end I assure you. The guy smoking a little weed will get into heaven no problem. the tactics and forces used these days to stop drugs are far worse than the drugs would have ever been if just left alone. - Reply to this comment
- Ok for all you there are 1000 good cops for every bad one answer me this. When will any of those good 1000 start turning in and arresting that ever so rare bad apple IMMEDIATELY when found ot be bad? I am so sick of the so many good and only a bad one here and there. If you can''t find the criminals in your own house you have no business looking in others houses and need a new job. You never see an article about good cops turning in bad ones but you see bad cops ratting out others to save their arses all the time. When good cops if there are any start to turn in the bad they might get some respect. Until then they can all go to hell because hiding behind a badge to commit crimes is worse then just commiting the crime will ever be IMO. If you are sitting in a car and know someone is robbing a bank and you drive them away your guilty of bank robbery. I see no difference what so ever in that and a good cop turning his head on bad ones. Your guilty by association and lack of enforcing the laws you expect the rest of us to be held to. Cops found guilty of crimes should be manditory 2x the regular sentence in prison.
And for the guy that said Obama wasn''t in Chicago till 1996 I find that interesting since he was a member of that racist church for 20 years, you do the math, idiot. - Reply to this comment

- With every problem and improper reaction, there is a reason why. Why did they need to learn "creative writing" and why do they feel they have manipulate the record? The retired cop said it best. Good cops get burned in court on technicalities every day and all their work goes in the toilet. They empathize with victims but are regularly foiled at getting them because of the endless rights of the bad guys. We need for the cops to do it the right way and to do that, the burden is on the politicians to improve the justice system, expand probable cause, improve and expand video technology and appoint strong and highly qualified AGs that will back up these cops and skilled enough to outwit these over paid and ambitious defense attorneys presumably protecting the rights of scum but actually just making a name for themselves. You frustrate a cop with a messed up justice system and this is what we get.
