The Straight Dope on Crooked Cops

Reason's Hit and Run is highlighting some well documented problems with the so-called "War on Drugs". Last month, Norm Stamper, the head of Seattle's Police Department for six years, published Breaking Rank: A Top Cop's Exposé of the Dark Side of American Policing. Alternet has this excerpt:

Almost all of the major police corruption scandals of the last several decades have had their roots in drug enforcement. We've seen robbery, extortion, drug dealing, drug stealing, drug use, false arrests, perjury, throw-down guns, and murder. And these are the good guys?

Yikes. Where's the money the IRS stole from me to fund this fraudulent war on drugs? I want it back!
