Disgrace to Uniform: Ex-NYPD officers took cash, prostitutes in gun license bribe scandal

As big a supporter of the police that I am, I have no tolerance for dirty cops! 
They besmirch the reputation of all the hard working and honest men and women that make up the NYPD.  

CBS News reports a former New York City police lieutenant, two former police officers and a lawyer who once worked as a prosecutor were arrested in a federal gun licensing probe Tuesday as authorities described a scam in which police employees traded speedy handling of gun permits for paid vacations, jewelry, catered parties, cash and visits to strip clubs.
