That's pretty bad.Those cops were pretty much trying to shake down your grandfather.....and they deserved to lose their jobs.I know its old, but you're hearing half a story. My grandfather used to run a gas station/convienince store/mechanic shop in Brooklyn and cops would come in demand discounts, free service, and loiter around making his customers nervous. If he said anything to them, they would threaten him with sending an EPA inspector who'd "inspect until he found something." The cops are not always innocent in these stories.
