Aren't these supposed to be the "good guys"?

The Drug Enforcement Agency announced yesterday that charges are being brought against the sheriff of Henry County, Virginia and twelve of his current and former deputies in conjunction with a federal investigation of a drug-trafficking ring. Allegedly, the sheriff turned a blind eye to the illegal activities of his deputies and helped them cover their tracks. During an DEA investigation into illegal trafficking of prescription drugs on the internet, they intercepted packages of drugs mailed to Henry County. The subsequent investigation and sting operation lead to the 48-count indictment unsealed yesterday.

One of my favorite quotes (don't know who said it) is "If you want to know the true measure of a man, give him power". Sad, but oh so true.
