Good.




"If these off-duty officers want to conduct themselves that way, that’s exactly how we’ll treat them — just like any other gangbanger,” Prater said.

Sgt. Diron Carter, an eight-year veteran, and Sgt. Michael W. McKethan, a seven-year veteran, were charged Friday with "using a vehicle to facilitate the intentional discharge of a firearm,” in a drive-by shooting that occurred in mid-June outside Night Trips, a strip club near Meridian and Reno avenues.

1. "strippers, beer and firing a weapon" just good ole boys

"An officer being charged in a case involving strippers, beer and firing a weapon at bystanders can be perceived as a "black eye” on the entire department, said Capt. Steve McCool, the police department’s spokesman.
"But we would hope the citizens would understand that once we gained this information, we immediately put them on leave,” McCool said. "We investigated it thoroughly. We did what was right, and we police our own.”"


Makin' their way,
The only way they know how,
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
