Rapping Dallas police lieutenant reprimanded; two other cops fired

Back in November we reported about how a Dallas police lieutenant was put on administrative leave after doing a rap song.

In the song, Lt. Regina Smith threatened to shoot anyone who messed with her. Her website included a photo of the late husband, Sr. Cpl. Norman Smith. He was nicknamed the "Big Russian," but was fatally shot in 2009 while serving a warrant.

Well on Friday, Dallas Police Chief David Brown suspended her for five days without pay, according to WFAA Channel 8.

In other DPD news, two other officers were fired on allegations of perjury and fabricating evidence.

I wonder what those other two police officers were fired for? I don't suspect we'll see an article about that in this blog...
