Cop Who Stole From Hispanic Drivers To Spend More Than Two Years In Jail With Their Cousins

A police officer in a town about 70 miles outside of Atlanta has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for systematically pulling over Hispanic drivers and pocketing cash from their wallets every time he went back to his patrol car to run background checks with their licenses. The best part is how Douglas Damiano was busted in an undercover operation where a Latino officer figured as a decoy, demonstrating the valuable role played by deceptive Latinos on any police force:

“Mr. Damiano proceeds to get the money off the undercover Hispanic agent, goes back to the patrol car and calls in to the 911 service and says everything is OK, this individual was just looking for directions,” [Head investigator J.P.] Foster said of the stop the police officer made. “That was a lie. Then Damiano returns the wallet [minus $100]. Thief. That’s too kind of a word.”

Agreed. We submit ‘Mexico City traffic cop’ as a more telling description.
