WASHINGTON - A police sergeant arrested Tuesday for stealing $43,000 from an elderly woman is the seventh D.C. officer to be arrested in the last five months.
Aisha Hackley, 35, is charged with scamming an 85-year-old woman by forging checks she stole from the woman's house while on assignment and cashing them to herself and her son, according to court documents.
The allegations against Hackley are just the latest in a string of embarrassments incurred by the police department as six other officers have been charged with crimes ranging from buying stolen merchandise to murder.
In one instance, an officer is charged with killing a woman in Prince George's County and leaving her baby to die in a hot car.
In another, an officer is charged with helping her boyfriend break into several houses.
Three other officers were charged buying stolen electronics.
According to figures from D.C. Police, a total of 16 officers have been arrested in 2011 to date. The number matches the total amount of officers arrested in 2010.

besides being cops I bet they all have something else in common!
guaranteed!
MORE cops stealing? Oh no!! Add them to the ever-growing list of do-gooders wearing a badge and a gun, with the legal authority to kill you with no consequences, who, in their official capacity, rob, beat, maim, extort, blackmail, and murder innocent citizens. And help sell and transport drugs and stolen goods. But DON'T question them --- it just a "bad apple"...I submit (for your consideration) that we have bushels of bad apples. One one them probably sped by you today, 15-20 miles an hour over the speed limit, on the way to the donut shop, or their girlfriend's house (his wife, of course, totally unaware). Not "police" anymore, but "above the law revenue enhancers". Muscle henchman for the cash-hungry state, or whatever entity put the badge on them.
