Elvis,
This is not really what I consider to be a blooper, because I take that as an uninintentional mistkae, usually with a funny outcome. This is worse than that.
But, I also hope no one was offended by my response. This is the right forum for it, and I welcome people posting when cops do wrong too. My only point was to spread out that this is a national problem, not one to try to tie to Obama or any specific locality.

Re: FBI agents stage sting to snare corrupt Illinois cops
Jim beat me to pointing out that this happens in Texas, but I remember one specific case I was going to mention. Around 1999, ten SAPD officers, including a sergeant who worked in the patrol division chief's office got busted for almost the exact same thing. They agreed to run security escorts for drugs for undercover FBI agents.
Bad cops occur everywhere, though we try our best to weed them out as quickly as we can find them. As much as I hate Chicago and Obama, this is more a reflection on the poor standards in law enforcement hiring these days than anything else.
