UPDATE: Troopers on Burnett Facebook page alleged to be of Dist. 22
The gal positively identified as Amber Martin Burnett, from whose Facebook the pics were obtained.
DIST. 22—We’ve learned that the photos of the Illinois State Police troopers featured here and as shown on Amber Burnett’s Facebook page (in an album entitled “Street Rally 2011″ ostensibly showing activity at the bar in Old Shawneetown back in July) actually are not of troopers from District 19, but troopers from District 22 in Ullin.
This morning we spoke with Captain Harry Masse, commander of District 22 ISP post in Ullin. Masse, one of the most professional troopers/law enforcement officers/Illinois State Police District Commanders we’ve ever had the pleasure to know, assured us that the appearance of his troopers from 22, if indeed they prove to be exactly that (because there are some serious Photoshopping wizpeople out there) is an isolated incident and is not at all what is expected or condoned of District 22 personnel.
He has advised that a report has been turned over to Internal Affairs and that an investigation will in all likelihood have begun TODAY into the alleged matter.
Masse had more to say, which we will cover in the upcoming issue of Disclosure, on stands in only TWO WEEKS from today (Sept. 12-14)…so you won’t have to wait too long to read it.

Can’t wait to hear the outcome of this fiasco!
I was there and didn’t need any Photoshopping.It was LIVE! And alot of it to.It looked to me like the Tax Payers were paying for the State Police to have a great time.I never seen one of them that wasn’t smiling at one time or another.With what they go paid to do nothing ,be entertained very well by the Gals who wouldn’t be smiling.
Maybe they misunderstood the directive that said “We want you troopers to get out there and get more busts!”
They was a bustin something alright…and I don’t think it was an alcohol or drug related bust!
THE OFFICIAL TEXAS SHERIFF EXAM
A young Texan grew up wanting to be a lawman. He grew up big, 6′ 2″,
strong as a longhorn, and fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap
tossed in the air at 40 paces.
When he finally came of age, he applied to where he had only dreamed
of working: the West Texas Sheriff’s Department.
After a series of tests and interviews, the Chief Deputy finally
called him into his office for the young man’s last interview. The Chief Deputy
said, “You’re a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your
qualifications all look good, but we have, what you might call, an
“Attitude Suitability Test”, that you must take before you can be accepted. We
just don’t let anyone carry our badge, son.”
Then, sliding a service pistol and a box of ammo across the desk, the
Chief said, “Take this pistol and go out and shoot:
* six illegal aliens,
* six politicians,
* six meth dealers,
* six Muslim extremists,
* six Child Molesters, and
* a rabbit.”
“Why the rabbit?” queried the applicant.
“Great attitude. You pass,” said the Chief Deputy. “When can you
start?”
Now that there is funny!
