Police corruption suspect fail
Officer Roberto Pulido, the alleged ringleader in the Boston police corruption case, tested positive for cocaine in a department-ordered drug test in 1999, two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the episode said yesterday.

Malaysia: Probe confirms cops fired tear gas into Tung Shin, acted unethically
A Health Ministry probe has confirmed that police had acted unethically and
breached standard operating procedures (SOP) when dispersing Bersih
demonstrators at Tung Shin hospital on July 9.
Home Ministry secretary-general Mahmood Adam said in a statement Tuesday that
the police personnel involved would be referred to the police disciplinary
committee.
“The investigation concluded that there was unethical action which went beyond
the SOP of the Royal Malaysian Police when they acted against rally
demonstrators who were wrongly using the hospital premise,” said Mahmood.
The report released by the Health Ministry on Tuesday, among others, said:
a.Police used water cannons at demonstrators gathered at a multi-level parking
area and at the main entrance of the Tung Shin hospital.
b.Police shot tear gas in the direction of Waz Lian at demonstrators gathered at a
public car park outside the hospital premises. But the allegation that tear gas was
shot into the hospital premises in not true.
c.Police lobbed smoke bombs' at demonstrators gathered at the parking lot of the
Chinese Maternity Hospital, which is administratively separate from Tung Shin. In
fact, the Chinese Maternity hospital had ceased operations from Sept 2006 for
major renovations and is scheduled to start operating again only in December.
"As a result of this report, the Home Ministry will refer the list of police personnel
involved to the Police Disciplinary Committee for consideration and further action.
"This shows that the Home Ministry takes work ethics seriously and will not
compromise on taking disciplinary action on those who are found to have violated
work guidelines," Mahmood said.
