According to a story released by ABC News, http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/nyc-top-cop-bernard-kerik-remanded-jail-eve/story?id=8873277 former NYC Police Comissioner was remanded to jail after the judge revoked his $500,000 bond. Former Comissioner Bernard Kerik is facing charges of receiving free rent and apartment renovations, tax evasion, and lying on his application to become the new Head of Homeland Security.
I cannot not believe that the comissioner of the oldest organized police force in the history of the United States is a criminal. One would think that even though he was NYC's top cop that he would eventually get caught. I mean really, did he think that he was untouchable. Apparently he did. Accepting free rent and appartment renovations is one thing. However tax evasion and lying on a federal job application is totally something else. All I can say is, on behalf of all law enforcement officers, thank you for giving law enforcement another black eye in the eye's of the general public. Thank you, Bernard, for giving the people another reason not to trust police.
Then there's this, "let' lie to federal investigators who will be conducting my background investigation for the Homeland Security job." Was he just not thinking that they wouldn't find out. HELLO!!!!!!!! They're the Feds. They find out everything. You might have at one time had President Bush in your corner, especially after 9/11, but come on, they will still conduct a full background inveerstigation before they just hand a job over to anyone. As for tax evasion, your just plain dumb not to pay your taxes. Again the IRS is a federal department, so again they will find you out.
Out of all the dumb criminals that I have written about, Bernard Kerik is by far the dumbest. His law enforcement career was on the fast track, and what does he do? He takes advantage of it and thinks no one can touch him. I hope he gets the max sentence for everything he has been accused of. Mostly because he gave law enforcement another stain on the badge.

Even he should have known that lying on a federal job application would be one of the quickest ways to get caught. Come on...did he really think he could just say he was going to be the Chief of Homeland Security and nobody would check? LOL...kinda funny!
