Oakland to Fire Fibbing Cops

Two sergeants and nine officers in the Oakland Police Department will be looking for fresh new careers soon. Why? It seems said law enforcement officials lied on sworn affidavits in order to get judges to sign search warrants. Yeah. The warrants were for East Oakland homes suspected of small-time drug dealing, it seems. Police Chief Wayne Tucker freaked out, saying, "We demand professional conduct from all employees ... [t]he foundation of our system requires that law enforcement officials maintain the highest integrity, and once that integrity is compromised, you lose credibility, and you cannot continue to be a peace officer." While this kind of edgy behavior flies on Law & Order, not so much in real life.
