Who was helping (I suspect a lawyer)him do it or was he acting on his own? Why were the Feds investigating him? Were the feds actually after Durham and in the process Plowman was setup? I am curious will this be open to the public and the media? Just wonder is there will be a big can of worms opened that will expose more corruption in the police department and the Ballard aministration?guy77moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248410686603913517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-19037839820768113612010-09-16T16:02:50.640-05:002010-09-16T16:02:50.640-05:00Sorry.

In this case, I wasn't implying anything except for the fact that the screening, hiring, training, oversight, etc. was MUCH better at IPD than at MCSD.Concerned Taxpayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952241910289966736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-59769514626259821612010-09-16T15:27:41.741-05:002010-09-16T15:27:41.741-05:00I just want to live in an honest city.

It was not clear at all to me what acts Plowman committed that would constitute extortion. To me, that implies a threat was made to someone to get a certain result. I've only heard of an offer to take money to get a certain result; not any threats.Gary R.
