**SCANDAL** BELL, CA. OFFICIALS ARRESTED, TAKEN TO SLAMMER--updated

If the government--federal, state and local--ever wants to regain its credibility, this is what'll have to happen on a grand scale:

"Cooley said one arrest required authorities to use a battering ram.

"The suspects were booked into county facilities and will be kept away from other inmates for their protection, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said." --continue reading about city officials as they hit the perp walk.

I'm thinking these city crooks have less to fear from the inmate population than the voting public. After all, they do have a little something in common with the inmate population. Just sayin.'

*UPDATE: Larry in the comments asks a great question. One that we usually ask first.
