6 police officers in Calif. town arrested

[The Straight Story]

KING CITY, Calif. — More than a third of the police officers in this Northern California town of 13,000 have been arrested, variously accused of bribery, embezzlement and threats charges.

Four are accused of developing a scheme to impound vehicles belonging to disadvantaged and Hispanic families, said Dean Flippo, Monterey County district attorney. After 30 days, those cars were turned over to King City police officers when the owners were unable to pay the impound fees.

Census numbers show nearly 2 in 5 residents here are Hispanic.

"These people said, 'They are taking our property, they're taking our cars, they're taking our money and we can do nothing about that,' " Flippo said Tuesday.

Arrested were the following officials:

3. I'm shocked

Cops routinely get away with murder, I'm surprised they were arrested. Hopefully they will face real punishment and not just get a slap on the wrist.
