Yellow Journalist Hearst's Times Useless reports on Heart's own dirty cops

There's a nice above-the-fold cover story by the Albany Times Union about the dirty cops George Randolph Hearst III bought, the UAlbany Police. Dirty cop Aran Mull in particular gets a lot of press, and a couple photos. Naturally no mention is made of the Times Useless' publisher Hearst also being the President of the Board of Directors of the University at Albany Foundation. Naturally no mention is made of the Times Useless having paid UAlbany cops extra to do security for the NY Giants' summer training camp at UAlbany that the TU helped lure there, work that took them away from protecting students, faculty, and staff - i.e. work that took them away from their actual jobs.

These are the same cops who supposedly didn't know their own decorated co-worker Investigator Wendy Knoebel had a major area drug operation at her own home. For all the public knows, Knoebel was growing drugs for her coworkers - the TU never reported where marijuana from her 200 or so plants was going that I ever saw. This is at a campus where deaths by overdose are disturbingly commonplace.

Mention is made of the discretion police supposedly have not to make arrests when crimes have been committed. Is that alleged discretion genuinely written into law? When referrals are made of drug users, drug dealers, or drug manufacturers, is the law really being followed? Who gets referred (athletes and donors' kids, maybe?) and who gets arrested? If referrals are made to "judicial administrator" Clarence Loser McNeill, a skinhead with a vicious love of sexual assault and other crimes, what purpose does that serve?
