OxyContin bust nets 56 Miami-Dade government employees (middle east, drugs, FBI, insurance)

[Steve Hazzard]

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Fifty-six government employees -- including a police officer, a felony court clerk, two corrections officers and 27 school bus drivers and attendants -- were arrested in a scam that used health insurance information to fraudulently obtain prescriptions for the painkiller OxyContin, authorities said Wednesday.

The majority of these persons arrested in this drug ring were school related employees; bus drivers, school bus attendants, teaching assistants, etc. These scumbags and dirtbags were selling a potentially fatal painkiller to children, and most likely, using children as "runners" to deliver the drugs, as often is the case in these type of drug operations. In China or the Middle East, these people would be executed, in Florida, most of them will be back on the street within a couple of years. And the circle goes round and round...!

Thank God for the FBI .
I wish they had 20 agents attached to every politician here and 6 attached to everyone in charge of some city agency .

I have relatives that lived in south Florida for 8 years, they recently moved to Portland, OR. They tell me that's it is like getting their lives back, that living in Florida was like living under a rock because of all the political and government corruption.

These people look like big time losers - just like everybody that works for Dade County. They are mostly right off the raft Haitians that are ignorant and have criminality ingrained in their blood. 80% of Miami-Dade employees come from the same wonderful stock as the ones pictured below, so I am surprised that there are not hundreds more arrested... I guess there weren't enough drugs to go around for the rest to get busted.... Metro Dade government is run by a bunch of underqualified immigrants - hence the 'banana republic' reference.
