for massive imports of guns for sale to criminals.

Twelve people were arrested. This included 3 retired officers for a total of 8 NYPD officers arrested.

Five current New York Police Department officers in Brooklyn and three who are retired were arrested and charged this morning in a federal corruption case that includes smuggling handguns, rifles, and shotguns, along with cigarettes and slot machines for good measure. Four other people were also apprehended before sunrise by FBI agents and officials from the Internal Affairs Bureau, who have long been conducting an undercover investigation into the scheme. Charges include weapons trafficking, conspiracy, and the shipment, sale, or receipt of stolen goods. Other NYPD headaches at the moment include allegations of spying on Muslims, planting drugs, abusing protesters, violating civil rights, slapping puppies, and unfairly stopping and frisking men of color on the street. The latter police tactic, of course, is meant to rid the city of illegal guns.

Note that the Manhattan NYPD and prosecutors were not involved. These thousands of guns are a rather more likely cause for New York City's higher murder rate.

So far no one on the Occupy Wall Street side has injured anyone. Or had any connection to weapons. Victims of a filmed 2nd Degree Assault from Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna -- yes.

We also saw photos from U.S. Air and Space Museum on October 8th, 2011, where a riot was incited. The two main individuals who caused that riot have been identified. They are linked with long-time connections to far right wing organizations.

Blaming Occupy DC and October 2011 for this agent provocateur action will end finally when these two criminals are arrested similar to police work in Rome, Italy.
