GREENSBURG, Kan. — "Four Fort Riley soldiers and a reserve police officer were arrested for looting cigarettes and alcohol from a store in this tornado-ravaged town, the state adjutant general's office said.
Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, the state's adjutant general, said the soldiers and reserve police officer had come to assist on their own and were not part of any official detachment.
"These were people who weren't supposed to be there. They said they came down to help on their own," Bunting said.
Sharon Watson, a spokeswoman for the adjutant general's office, said the five were arrested at a Dillon's supermarket and were being held at the Pratt County Jail without bond. She said all five were in uniform so police allowed them to come and go freely despite a curfew in the town."
Every since hurricane Katrina, we've come to expect the local police to participate in as much looting as they can, well, loot, and now even the Army is getting into the act. People who wear the uniform of the United States of America must, you see, be held to a higher degree of accountability, not less as law enforcement always seem to get away with, so it is without reservation that I recommend the most harshest of punishments be meted out to these traitorous scum. Time and again, law enforcement has proved itself incapable of acting in a professional, law abiding manner, so let's not have this disease spread any farther than it already has.
Nip it. In the bud.
