"Several of Gibson's fellow officers voiced suspicions last fall that Gibson, 43, a narcotics officer, was stealing clothing, sneakers, and jewelry from the homes of suspected drug dealers during raids and warrant executions, Ramsey and police sources have said."

It seems awfully strange that no one in the family noticed that all of this was going on.

Could be some kind of set-up, a distraction. Something's fishy to me, and we have bigger fish to fry anyway.

She could use it against him in a possible divorce. I wonder if they have kids. It would be the perfect way to sabotage his attempts for custody. Now I'm heading into conspiracy territory . . . without facts for support.

I agree, there are bigger concerns for the Commonwealth.

Apparently a number of Phila. narcotics officers are about to face charges, including one who is trying to open his own publicly funded charter school. I guess that guy knows where the best scams can be run.

It's not right that they've been getting away with their misconduct.

Philly cops, Pittsburgh cops...what the heck is going on?
