These stories are supposed to give you nightmares

The rise and fall of the Jack Daniel’s committee: How D.C.’s police lodge made thousands selling whiskey online - "'If it was ever against the law, we would never have done it,' said Maybo, the former lodge president, in a recent interview. After all, he said, the whole thing was done by police officers, in front of police officers. 'I would imagine that if I’m doing something illegal, if the FOP were doing something illegal, somebody would have said that. And it went on for years.'

"Experts in alcohol law said the Jack Daniel’s committee’s actions appeared to be a clear-cut violation of the law in D.C. and multiple states. 

"'These are cops?' asked Michael Brill Newman, who leads the alcoholic-beverage team at the firm Holland & Knight."
