Bad, baaaad cop (yes, he was convicted) Robert Pulido was sentenced to 26 years in the pokey. Commissioner Ed Davis says in a statement, "Our department is comprised of officers who find Pulido’s actions despicable and the punishment fitting." Pulido's actions included getting caught by the FBI offering to protect a shipment of cocaine.

Pulido is so notorious that his name could be used as a slang phrase for a crooked cop. His antics even inspired one of the Herald's greatest salacious covers: "Sex, Drugs & BPD," which we are reprinting here for your amusement. The Herald loves it some Pulido, and O'Ryan Johnson dashed off a beautiful line summing up the former officer: "the erstwhile juiced-up, muscle-bound thug who boasted he would murder a Boston firefighter’s kids if their dad ratted him out."

And of course they mentioned the Boom Boom Room, where Pulido liked to spend his time. The Boom Boom Room was a den of iniquity for bad guys and bad officers, but it was also a combo sin palace and auto-body shop. Only in Boston can you get your car--and everything else--serviced.
