Kathryn Johnston. Bent Cops. Update

The sordid details of the workings of Atlanta cops in the killing of old ladies.
If you remember one of these good Christian men read his goddamn bible in court.

According to federal documents released this week, these are the events that led to Kathryn Johnston's death and the steps the officers took to cover their tracks.

Three narcotics agents were trolling the streets near the Bluffs in northwest
Atlanta, a known market for drugs, midday on the Tuesday before
Thanksgiving.

Eventually they set their sights on some apartments
on Lanier Street, usually fertile when narcotics agents are looking for
arrests and seizures. more

The tale of the snitch.
This from the last paragraph in the snitch link:
With his identity exposed, White says he can no longer work as a snitch, which netted him up to $30,000 annually.
But if we read this from the first article:

To add credibility to their story, they (the cops) actually paid White his usual $30 fee for information and explained to him how he was to say the scenario played out if asked.

Now it's possible I suppose that for some tips White (the snitch) might receive a higher fee, but to take the figures at face value White is providing twenty tips a week.
Now this slimeball either knows an awful lot of bad dudes or the tips he comes up must be very very suspect to say the least, little wonder defence lawyers abhor the use of paid informants.

The IRA treated touts (informants) with the respect that was due to them, one in each kneecap.
Touts, no lower life form on the planet.
