This morning, there's a piece in The Dallas Morning News concerning some cheating going on at the Dallas Fire Rescue training academy. Specifially, it deals with how Lieutenant James Hunter, an instructor at the academy, helped trainee Desmond Luster prep for the test--by, ya know, giving him the answers.
