Two former Detroit narcotics officers are accused of committing the kinds of crimes police are supposed to investigate: robbery, extortion, drug deals.

Among the allegations -- the veteran lieutenant and officer made traffic stops and fake arrests to steal drugs, money and property, according to an indictment unsealed today in U.S. District Court.

Lt. David Hansberry and Officer Bryan Watson – whose nicknames are Hater and Bullet – were arraigned today on a litany of charges, including robbery conspiracy, extortion, aiding and abetting, and cocaine possession. If convicted of the most serious charge – conspiracy – the officers would each face up to 20 years in prison.

Nicknamed "Hater" and "Bullet"? There's a whole 'nother story there I think.

This has been going on for years. Of course everyone they robbed where "drug dealers" because if they said they robbed innocent people that would look bad...So just label everyone of them drug dealers for sympathy

Not all cops are dirty -- but far too many are. Those that ignore criminal conduct in the ranks are just as dirty as the perps are.

The mob has been working Detroit since at least the 30's.

In my opinion, and from the many stories and first hand accounts, they're all low-life POS.

Dealing drugs carries an inherent danger of being robbed by someone.
