Six Philadelphia police officers who served in the narcotics squad were taken into custody by FBI agents early this morning as part of a federal corruption probe.

Sources previously confirmed that a federal grand jury has been investigating allegations that Philadelphia narcotics officers stole drugs and money and committed robberies of drug dealers, in some cases allegedly using their guns to do it.

In one incident, officials say, the accused held one of the drug suspects for days in a hotel while threatening him and making threats against his family.

In another alleged incident, one victim was reportedly dangled over the edge of an 18th-floor balcony in order to get information.

“It was a nightmare, an absolute nightmare,” James McIntyre told CBS 3’s Walt Hunter in an interview. McIntyre, in a lawsuit filed against several of the officers, claims he was manhandled then wrongfully arrested, spending six months behind bars before charges were withdrawn.

The joint investigation by the Philadelphia Police Department and the FBI also revealed the officers would play a “game” in which they scored points by coming up with different ways of abusing suspects.

The incidents reportedly took place between 2006 and 2012...

Of course the witness is a former corrupt cop who's arrest last year led to more than 50 overturned convictions. The cases he participated in were discredited due to his habit of planting drugs on suspects.

This must really be bad! Philly Chief of Police Ramsey says it's the worst corruptions he's seen in 40 years. And he was the Police Chief in Washington, D.C. for nine years.
