Good Cop/Bad Cop

What if instead of engaging in tragedy carpetbagging Al Sharpton held press conferences decrying douchebag cops who take advantage of their position in order to flood vulnerable communities with pounds and pounds of cocaine? I know, I know — not pathetic enough:

A crooked cop pleaded guilty yesterday to chauffeuring his bad-news brother on cocaine deliveries and picking up dirty cash for a Bronx drug ring — all while brazenly toting his NYPD-issued gun along for protection.

Disgraced former Manhattan Transit Officer José Torrado, 31, admitted in Manhattan federal court that he drove his brother, Edwin, on drug deliveries and picked up the drug money between 2002 and 2005.

He quietly hammered out a plea deal with prosecutors last month.

Torrado’s role in the illicit operation surfaced after his brother and four other ring members were busted in September 2005, when authorities seized 135 kilograms of cocaine — worth about $4 million on the street — that had been stashed behind a false wall of a truck in The Bronx.

Torrado was a transit cop for five years before he was forced out last November.
