"Six officers indicted in corruption case" Associated Press July 31, 2014
PHILADELPHIA — Six city narcotics officers used gangland tactics to shake down drug dealers, relying on guns, badges, beatings, and threats to extort huge piles of cash and cocaine, federal authorities charged in an indictment Wednesday.
The police officers once held a suspect over an 18th-floor balcony and used a steel bar to beat someone else in the head, authorities said. They held one man captive in a hotel room for several days while he and his family were threatened, they said.
Another dealer was thrown in a jail cell overnight, uncharged, while officers broke into his home and stole a safe with $80,000 in it.
The scheme ran from 2006 to 2012....
And here I thought the state drug lab scandal was bad.
