Of course we all know that there is more than one bad apple in the legalised gang of West Virginia’s finest. But there are those who go above and beyond the call of duty to “get their man”. And with only “internal investigations” into these questionable incidents, the culprets most usually get away with a small slap on the hand. A couple days off with pay, perhaps. Some particularly large gold stars go out to:
