dennissinned,
Detective Sean Johnstone was the first South Brooklyn narcotics officer indicted for flaking back in 2008. Stephen Anderson and Henry Tavarez were caught on tape around the same time. I'm assuming the 300 busts were tossed over the course of these last three years.
Strike three? Marty had another ethical scandal where he had to "pay the goddamn fine," during his first run for Borough President in 1985.
"That bid for office resulted in Markowitz’s being charged with failing to disclose a campaign contribution from a local businessman: he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, paid a nearly $8000 fine, and performed 75 hours of community service."
