...ground in Bala Beluk, the trainers see a more pressing reason to have embedded mentors: preventing the newly trained police from backsliding into old practices, and protecting them from corrupt officials who are threatened by clean cops. They compare Bala Beluk to 1970s New York City, with its toxic mix of gang warfare, corruption, organized crime and drug commerce. Khodaydad, they say, is an Afghan Frank Serpico, the cop who exposed systematic and widespread corruption within the city's police ranks, and was shot by heroin dealers in what was thought to have been a hit organized by corrupt colleagues...
...crackerjack Face/Off. Surly men in overcoats trudge through a nightscape with very busy meteorology: when it isn't pouring rain there are snowflakes everywhere, like the residue from an Olympian pillow fight.

On FX, buddy comedy Testees, about down-and-out dudes who sell their bodies for experiments, plays the same discomfort for gross-out laughs. (One gets a treatment that apparently leaves him pregnant--and lactating...
...Walter C. Monegan III - who as Alaska's former Public Safety Commissioner was the state's top cop - Oct. 10 couldn't have come sooner. After being fired in early July from his position by Governor Sarah Palin, Monegan quickly asserted that the reasons for his firing were unethical and unjustified. He maintained he was dismissed because he refused to succumb to pressure from the Palin administration to fire Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten, who was at that time going through a bitter divorce and custody battle with Palin's younger sister, Molly McCann. Monegan claimed the governor's office...
