April 11, 2008 --
A rookie NYPD cop was busted yesterday for an armed bank robbery in Pennsylvania, authorities said.
Christian Torres, 21, a transit officer who lives in Queens, waited outside a Sovereign Bank branch in Muhlenberg Township shortly after 8 a.m., police said.

And Seattle wants to hire these guys...?
They need better background and psychological tests before hiring cops.
Curiously enough, if the same act is accomplished on the side of the road with a citizen as victim, rather than a bank, it's acceptable, accepted and demanded.
This might even be a new level of lowness even for a cop.
If it is like Houston, they overlook some criminal activity (including past drug use) as well as “sleeved tattoos” (as long as you keep your arms covered at all times).
It’s harder to recruit these days.
And yet Hollyweird thinks this is JUST a trend in the military and that it is BECAUSE of “Bush’s wars”.
Insert “been” between “have” and “that”.
Highway robbery is a bit different. The king needs his taxes.
Good one. Never heard that before.
Every single facet of our society is rapidly falling to corruption.
“They need better background and psychological tests before hiring cops.”
This guy fell through the cracks. A friend of my son’s who was an MP in the U.S. Marines didn’t make it to the NYPD Police Academy because he forgot to list a drunk driving arrest he got when he was 19 yrs. old.
