"Here’s what we know: While Jeff Landry was employed as a sheriff’s deputy, $10,000 worth of cocaine was stolen from the sheriff’s evidence room and found under his house. His roommate, also a sheriff’s deputy, was arrested for it and went to jail. Landry turned in his badge within months,” Uhlich (Sangisetty’s campaign manager) said. “There are only two explanations. Either Jeff Landry was a dirty cop and knew about the drugs, or he was the worst cop ever and couldn’t figure out that $10,000 worth of cocaine was being sold out of his house.”

    Devil’s advocate, but exactly how much cocaine was that, though? PDs greatly inflate the value of drug seizures to look better all the time.

    And if he really didn’t do it, how could he have known his roommate hid the drugs? It doesn’t sound like the drugs were actively being sold from the house, just that they were stashed there.

      According to this article from a Louisiana newspaper there were 100 g of cocaine hidden in the house. That’s a lot of cocaine.

      It also seems weird he would then resign from the police force shortly after that, but who knows, maybe he was just a really bad cop who turned into a really crooked politician.

        Yeah, 10 grand is actually a reasonable estimate for 100g of cocaine in most regions of the US, depending on quality and how you’re selling. The low end would be about 6k wholesale.

          I didn’t realise it was so expensive. I’m pretty sure will be cheaper to snort diamonds.

    Louisiana sheriffs are basically God within their parishes. There’s just no way to touch them, legally.

    Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

    or quite possibly,

    Sufficiently advanced malice tries to disguise itself as incompetence! >_>

    Well, to the defence of that guy somehow being elected to governor Poland has just elected a pimp and a football hooligan with strong neonazi gang connections to be our president, so there’s that.

    Either Hank Shrader was a dirty cop and knew about the drugs, or he was the worst cop ever and couldn’t figure out that his brother in law was the kingpin of a meth empire

      If Hank and Walt had been roommates and Walt had been selling from their shared house.

      Also, of Schrader had been half as corrupt as Landry, he wouldn’t have been a likable character.

      Landry is definitely more of a Walt

      He did begin to figure it out… and that’s why he had to die.
