That can't be good

The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department has asked the FBI to assist with a criminal investigation of its SCORE Unit, which is that agency's version of the masked tactical ninja squad:

"Police Chief Rick Armstrong initiated the investigation and, in addition to the FBI, requested help from the Wyandotte County district attorney’s office and the U.S. attorney’s office."

Good for Chief Armstrong for being so proactive in rooting out and quickly dealing with the bad apples in his department.

"According to KCTV 5 reporter Jeanene Kiesling, several members of that unit were being questioned after conducting a search of a home in Kansas City, Kan., on Tuesday. As many as six officers were taken into custody, the station reported."

Members of these sorts of units are usually touted as being "cream of the crop" officers, which is why they are touted as the only ones "professional" enough to be equipped with weapons that ordinary peasants are barred from owning.  Gee, what a surprise to find out they're no better or worse than the rest of us.

It'll be very interesting to find out just what these particular cops were up to that necessitated such drastic action on the part of the chief.
