Veteran Police officers Rob Citizens at Gun Point!

This is getting ridiculous...
"A string of robberies by people "dressed as police" led the people of Detroit to believe there were "fake cops" out robbing people at gunpoint, it turns out they were "not fake after all," MyFoxDetroit reports:
DETROIT (WJBK) - A second officer, a 17-year veteran from Saint Clair Shores, has been arrested accused of robbing unsuspecting drivers at gunpoint.
On Saturday, Fox 2 also reported a Detroit police sergeant was arrested at the 12th precinct. A tip sent to Fox 2 helped lead to the arrests. We forwarded a photo from one scene to Detroit Police. They recognized one of their own in the photo.
More information is expected Monday during a press conference scheduled for Monday at 3 p.m.
The first incident took place at a Citgo gas station near French and I-94 on Detroit's east side last Sunday. The clerk says two white men in a black Ford F-150 with police lights allegedly pistol-whipped customers pumping gas. The men stole cash and cell phones from their victims. A warning went out to be on the lookout for "fake cops" but it turns out those officers were not fake after all. It appears the sergeant in this case was driving his personal vehicle.
There were at least two reports of men posing as police officers and robbing unsuspecting drivers at gunpoint. The men had police badges, bullet proof vests and guns. They looked very official and police considered them armed and dangerous.
A second incident happened near Harper and 3 Mile Drive. A man says he was pulled over by three men in a unmarked Crown Victoria. The man was searched and while he answered questions, his wallet and CDs were stolen.
So, what can you do? Even police say you have permission not to stop if you don't believe a real police officer is trying to pull you over. Instead, call 911 and ask the dispatcher for assistance. If all else fails, drive to the nearest precinct. I like this advice, that is if the police actually tolerate it (which I find it hard to believe they would). I wonder how much revenue they could extract if every tax-slave being pulled over drove all the way to the nearest precinct to check-in.
While these cops who robbed people at gunpoint acting in an unofficial capacity have been caught, real police who do the same in their official capacity through traffic-ticket extortion will remain at large." - http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=44556

I think the question we should be asking is how was this man allowed to be a cop considering he's still to stupid to rob people without getting caught after 17 years of on-hand crime experience.

There is a very slight difference in shades of meaning at play here.
Asset forfeiture laws allow all police officers to rob citizens. Try having a prior drug charge, maybe many years in the past, and walking down the street with a couple of thousand dollars in your pocket. The police can and will confiscate it every single time and you will have no recourse to get it back if they catch you. The only difference here is the officer put the cash in his own pocket instead of his department's 'new toys' fund.

I don't see how the OP story is newsworthy
Cop have been robbing the citizens since the beginning. 
My guess is, the cops that got charged probably screwed the Mayor's wife up the ass, and gave her crabs.
Now the Mayor is just getting even. 
Had it of been your wife, the local cops fucked in the ass....you would be fucked too

Well then even if you're right and you get killed you they can say it was your fault for talking and driving.

That's where the defense of necessity comes into play.
This story just goes to show that we don't pay cops enough. If they have to rob people to make ends meet, we should bump their pay by at least a buck an hour.

My belief is that we have given the average peace officer far too much power and authority. Look at how the uniform has become so militant.

Now that is just too intimidating for someone trying to interact with a policeman.
If I had my way I would have their uniforms changed to this;
