'Officer Of The Year,' Arrested For Dealing Methamphetamine

David Britto, a Florida police officer who in January was named "Officer of the Year," was arrested last week on charges of conspiring to traffic and possess methamphetamine, according to The South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Authorities say that Britto was part of a drug ring along with two other individuals who were arrested earlier this year.
Britto, 28, is a former Marine and has been on the Boynton Beach Police department since 2007. The image he projected contrasts sharply with that of a drug-dealing criminal.

Apart from being chosen as the department's "Officer of the Year" Britto was a mentor for the Florida Community Alliance, an organization fosters interaction between at-risk youth and law enforcement officials. He also taught at the Boynton Beach Police Department's Teen Police Academy.

On his website, Blessedwarrior.com, Britto writes, "I am very passionate about influencing others positively such as giving advice and encouraging those in need...I find fulfillment in helping others and lending hand to those in need."
In 2010, Britto arrested 25 people in 18 cases relating to narcotics.

Must have had a monopoly, since he put his competition out of the picture.

He was probably chosen Officer of the Year by the people he supplied.

The list of honest, morally sound officers is getting shorter and shorter.

When will people realize that most cops are jaded. They've been perceived by people as gods. What do you think that does to someone's psyche?

How long would it take you to do something wrong if you knew that you wouldn't get into trouble?

Just because you would abuse it doesn't mean they all would abuse it.

Some do. But there are bad people at that abuse their power at every job.

People are weak.

I didn't say all, I said most. And yes, abuse in every field occurs, but in politics and law enforcement, it affects the most. Sheeple are weak.
