"Taking care of our own"

[Trash Man]

I copied this excerpt from an online paper this morning. I believe it goes along with the thread about not writing other LEO's traffic citations. Pay particular attention to the last sentence.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- The prosecutor who removed himself from the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case has hired a well-known law firm to defend him against ethics charges before the North Carolina State Bar.

Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong has retained Winston-Salem lawyers David Freedman and Dudley Witt, law partners known for defending lawyers facing professional misconduct charges.

"Years ago, I just started helping out lawyers who got in trouble for various things," said Freedman, a 1982 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's law school. "I have a firm belief that you look out for your own."

There are a lot of officer's who never seem to understand that sentence until they find themselves on the recieving end.
