Indianapolis history is rife with political (and police) corruption dating back to nearly the beginnings of the City.<br /><br />Likely been simmering under the radar until some extraneous factors (like the financial meltdown) brought its stench bubling back to the surface.<br /><br />The thing is, it seems so pervasive, and the FBI and US Attorney so unwilling, that it&#39;s likely enough that it will just settle back down without troubling its worst purveyors too much.<br /><br />And to think that some have the audacity to put the onus just on poor Lake County. Look in the mirror, guys. It&#39;s right in front of you.varangianguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571595354792261993noreply@blogger.com
