Tampa residents once took on corruption that turned city into 'hell in a handcart'

Tales from the Vice Squad | The Hillsborough County Crime Commission was formed in 1951 to root out organized crime and expose corrupt public officials.

In 1975, Tampa police officer Richard Cloud was killed. Now we know why.


There were two reasons for this, according to Larsen and Deitche.
One was that some future criminals and law enforcement officers — both typically of Italian or Cuban descent — grew up together and their families were friends for generations in a city that still had a small town feel, Larsen said. They then remained friends even when on opposite sides of the law.
“They protected their own,” Larsen said. “Guys like that didn’t go to jail, except maybe overnight.”
More prevalent, Deitche said, was that some law enforcement officers and elected officials were on the mafia’s payroll.
“Political corruption in Tampa went a long way in keeping those guys above the law,” Deitche said.

Like most movie genres, science fiction goes back almost as far as the medium itself, all the way to 1902 to be exact. That was when Georges Méliès—an innovative genius of many talents—unleashed his 14-minute masterwork: "Le voyage dans la lune," better known to American audiences as "A Trip to the Moon." Inspired by the written works of Jules Verne, among other things, and laced with satirical jabs toward the scientific community, the surrealist short follows a group of astronomers as they embark on a trip to the moon. While not scientifically accurate by any means—the astronomers do travel by way of cannon shot, after all—the film did kick off a cinematic trend of depicting hypothetical ideas in anticipation of future realities.
