When cops are in the gambling business while gambling is illegal in Arkansas, imagine the loopholes we can expect when “charitable” bingo becomes legal later this year. I know the legislature has attempted to make this purely a charitable activity. But do you think the FOP Lodge cares about technicalities?

(NOTE: The particular FOP lodge consists of Game and Fish wildlife officers, not Conway police. But, presumably, Conway city cops are aware that there’s trouble in fair Conway that starts with B, which rhymes with P, which stands for B-I-N-G-O!)
