Menino Approves Review Panel for Police Misconduct
        A new “Review Panel” for misconduct of Boston police has been approved by Mayor Tom Menino who is in serious trouble because the FBI discovered the scandal in the mayor's police department and stated they have “extensive information” about “illegal conduct of other Boston police officers” and “other public officials.”
       Review Panels were popular in the 1960s and Boston has used them in the past, but this new request from Menino comes because it is now known that the use of cocaine and other drugs by the Boston police has been known by Menino for many years. This would not be public knowledge if it were not for the FBI.
       A request from the three Boston police officers in the corruption scandal that they be freed while awaiting trial has been taken under advisement by U.S. Magistrate Joyce London Alexander after a bail hearing a week ago. The Globe had to report the results in its paper.
        Otherwise, the Globe appears to be hoping they can just ignore the scandal involving its political ally, Mayor Menino, and it will die.
       Most observers don’t believe that will happen and they are waiting for the FBI's “second shoe to drop”.
