* Detroit Michigan police have been accused of lying about how 7-year-old Aiyana Jones was shot to death during a raid on a family’s duplex unit during a warrant search for a suspect who lived in the separate upstairs unit. The family’s lawyer had an independent autopsy performed on the girl that found she was shot in the head which would make the initial accounts by police that she was shot while an officer struggled with the girl’s grandmother highly improbable as the trajectory indicates the girl was laying down while shot, suggesting the shot came before police even entered the apartment… some video seen by that lawyer also suggests the same.
the sadness of this tragedy cannot be emphasized enough. What will be worse is the resulting multi-million dollar settlement that the city will inevitably pay out in order to protect it's SWAT team from any liability over the shooting and the cover up.
* An Anderson California police officer is the subject of a criminal investigation after being accused of raping a female detainee while transferring her to jail after her arrest on unspecified charges.
* A Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission police officer has been indicted on allegations that he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl right after a sting operation that she was hired by the police to assist with.
* A now-former Des Moines Iowa police officer has been sentenced to probation after he took a plea deal that reduced a felonious attempted sexual assault charges down to misdemeanor misconduct in office and false imprisonment charges after he was accused of trying to force himself on a 22-year-old female DUI suspect in his cruiser after he had arrested her.
yet more 'only one' favoritism.
* A Grand Traverse County Michigan deputy has been suspended after he was arrested on three domestic violence charges along with resisting arrest, obstruction, and possession of a firearm while under the influence charges.
* A New Orleans Louisiana police officer was arrested on charges of domestic battery, disturbing the peace, and public intoxication after he allegedly attacked his girlfriend.
* Three Oakland California police officers are the subject of a lawsuit filed by a television news station cameraman alleging that the officers shoved him to the ground and broke his camera when he tried to film police outside the emergency room after several officers were shot.
* Two Pulaski Tennessee police officers have been disciplined for arresting a doctor who was stopped for doing 46 in a 35mph zone while she was on her way to the hospital to deliver a baby. The police chief said that while they didn’t do anything illegal, they should have used a bit more discretion during the incident. One officer has been suspended for 7 days and the other suspended for 30.
discretion is something sorely needed in todays police work. hopefully they get it.
* Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now the subject of a 6th claim against him over his allegedly retaliatory legal actions against several county officials. While the other officials, three judges and two county supervisors, have filed claims for monetary compensation for what they were put through, this deputy county supervisor is only demanding an apology so that her career won’t be damaged by the apparently false charges laid against her.
* A now-former Williamsburg Kentucky police officer is pleading guilty to federal drug trafficking charges and allegations that he broke into a pharmacy while he was a cop in order to steal drugs. He already served time on state charges of drug trafficking but the federal case covers a longer time period and includes charges for the burglary.
* A Houston Texas police officer was arrested by a SWAT team inside a local courthouse while she was preparing to testify in traffic cases that day over an outstanding warrant for theft charges. Police officials say it’s standard procedure to use a tactical team to arrest officers but haven’t gone into detail about the charges laid out against the female officer who was arrested.
* A Dorchester County South Carolina deputy has resigned while he was under investigation on allegations that he had driven off in his patrol car after drinking at a bar while off-duty. He was also the subject of allegations that he supplied alcohol to minors but police say those allegations didn’t pan out.
* A Carteret County North Carolina narcotics detective has pled guilty to misprison of a felony charges for failing to stop or report the theft of funds intended for drug busts by the county’s then sheriff and several other deputies. The sheriff and a deputy have already pled guilty for their roles in the embezzlement scheme while two others, including the then chief deputy, are scheduled to be arraigned next month.nice to see that some agencies aren't letting the 'thin blue line' cover up take hold, but it's most likely due to the cops skimming off of their own budget that prompted such a crackdown.
* A New Hanover County North Carolina police officer was given a verbal reprimand after he was videotaped threatening to arrest a man for recording the arrest of a streaker who was tasered in the middle of the street. So far, the police say that the officers didn’t do anything wrong by tasering the naked, but otherwise harmless, man.
* Beaumont Texas police are accused of withholding and/or destroying evidence in in a court filing made by the lawyer for a family suing the police over an accident between a speeding cop and their teenage daughter. Witnesses of the accident say the officer was speeding near 100mph and swerving in and out of traffic without lights or siren before he hit the teen but the police have filed a countersuit alleging the teen was at fault… apparently for being in the way.there's classic retaliation for you. hopefully they can pursue that part in federal court.
* A Fort Worth Texas police officer was arrested on public intoxication charges after he was found wandering about a mile and a half away from where he had left his damaged SUV on railroad tracks. Police discovered him after launching a search when his car was found abandoned with empty alcohol containers inside. Police say they expect more charges to be filed soon.
* A Santa Fe New Mexico police detective is on desk duty after being arrested for aggravated drunken driving by a state trooper who stopped him for weaving and tested him at 2x the legal limit.
* An East St Louis Illinois police officer has been sentenced to four months house arrest, probation, and over $8,000 in fines and compensatory damages after he pled guilty to dragging a detainee into a holding area that he knew didn’t have cameras so he could assault him and then lying about it to investigators afterward. As part of the deal he agreed to never seek employment as a cop in that state again.
pretty cozy deal for assault and battery on a helpless and handcuffed citizen.
* The now-former Raritan New Jersey police chief has pled guilty to a tampering with public records charge for filing a false report saying he passed firearms qualification testing that he and one other officer never passed. As part of the plea deal he resigned from his position as chief and will likely only face probation.
and still be able to hire on anywhere else.
* Two Detroit Michigan police officers are accused of causing an accident by witnesses who claim they ran a red light without lights or siren activated when they hit a woman’s car, sending her son to the hospital with non-critical injuries. Police say they are investigating the accident.
* A Shillington Pennsylvania police officer is the subject of a lawsuit filed by a woman claiming that the officer stalked and harassed her after she rebuffed his advances. The complaint filed includes allegations that the officer planted a GPS device on her car.
* And finally, two Billings Montana police officers are under investigation over two separate incidents. One of the officers is under investigation after he was involved in a suspected DUI accident. No charges have been filed against that officer yet. The second officer is being investigated after he was arrested at a concert for urinating in public when security spotted him exposing his genitals while he urinated in the midst of a crowd at that show.
