Same thing Bloomberg did
A New Orleans Police Department employee and a felon have been indicted for illegally obtaining an AK-47 assault rifle, federal prosecutors said Friday.
U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said Nisheka M. Webb, 21, went to a local gun show July 29 with Wayne C. Jones, 28, to buy a gun for him. Jones, a convicted felon, is prohibited from ever owning or possessing a firearm, Letten said.
The indictment charged both with conspiracy to acquire a firearm by providing a false statement to a federally-licensed firearm dealer.
Yet no one has arrested Bloomberg’s investigators. Via David, who says:
what’s this “federally-licensed firearm dealer” business? Everyone knows gun shows provide loopholes for supplying felons and terrorists with firearms–no questions asked.
Right, GOP presidential hopeful John McCain?

Why is a female Police Officer hanging out with a convicted felon for in the first place?
That has to be against some code of conduct somewhere…

Well, I think that behavior alone is considered ok, as long as she’s not aware of any unreported crimes. Honestly, I’d think that we want police officers to socialize (on some level) with convicted felons to make sure that no future crimes are committed. Too bad in this case she helped commit a crime. :/
