* A US Border Patrol agent has pled guilty to violating a Mexican citizen’s rights when he kicked him, hit him in the stomach with a baton, then threw him to the ground at a Border Patrol Processing Center.
* A New York NY police officer is accused of beating another driver in an off-duty road rage incident. Witnesses say the alleged victim never hit the officer and that the officer started it, but the victim was arrested on assaulting an officer charges while the officer apparently isn’t even facing an investigation.assaulting an officer charge is par for the course in most 'use of force' cases in order to offer some sort of protection to the officer, whether there was an assault or not.
* New York NY has settled a lawsuit for a record $9,900,000 to a man who was wrongfully imprisoned for nearly 20 years after he was framed for a murder he didn’t commit by a police officer who worked as a mafia hit man on the side.
* Three Swoyersville Pennsylvania police officers are the subject of a lawsuit filed by a man alleging that he was falsely arrested for complaining about the off-duty drunken antics of two cops in a bar who were mooning patrons. Apparently he found an on-duty cop in the parking lot and told him what was going on, only to be arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct by that cop and the two troublemakers. The charges were later dropped thanks to surveillance video taken from a bank across the street.there's an example of what i've been talking about. when bad cops get protected by other cops, you know there's more than just 'one isolated incident' which makes you wonder how prevalent that corruption is.
* A St Louis County Missouri police officer is accused of harassing and taking a cell phone away from a man who was recording him during his stop at a DUI checkpoint. The officer then took the man’s keys and searched his car without permission or a warrant but was stopped by his sergeant when he recognized who the man was. Seems the person being harassed was none other than Brett Darrow who made national news in 2006 thanks to a built in surveillance system in his other car that caught a cop flying off the handle and threatening him during a traffic stop. He’s now trying to get a hold of dashcam footage of his latest interaction with the police.further proof that alot of cops don't care about what the law is or whats right and wrong, that it's all about making sure you know they are better than you.
* A New Orleans Louisiana police officer is the subject of a lawsuit filed by the family of a man who died in custody after that cop allegedly put him in a choke hold for 2 minutes during an arrest. That same officer is one of the “Danziger 7″ who are the subject of a federal investigation for shooting unarmed civilians and then covering it up.
* The Welsh Louisiana police chief is under pressure after the city council voted to formally ask him to resign over racist slurs he sent via text messages to his wife during a dispute via his department-issued cell phone.
* Three Grand Junction Colorado police officers have been fired after an investigation into allegations that they slashed several tents and destroyed property at a homeless encampment. The department purchased several new tents that they have been distributing to the homeless to make up for it.no charges are being filed against the officers because the transients refuse to cooperate. fear of retaliation, maybe?
* An Escanaba Michigan police officer received a verbal reprimand for bludgeoning a porcupine to death in front of several families and a group of children at a park. The parents say they expected animal control to come out and relocate the otherwise non-aggressive animal but now they’re left explaining what happened to their bewildered children.from shooting aggressive dogs, to trapping and killing 5 month old kittens (officer said he feared for his safety), to bludgeoning non-violent animals just trying to eat in peace. real classy work there, lou.
* Penn State police have settled a lawsuit for an undisclosed sum to a man who was arbitrarily tackled by police while he was streaking during a college streaking run done each year. The incident left the man with a broken collar bone and other injuries.
* A Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Enforcement officer has pled guilty to abusing her position in order to extort over $13,000 from various bar and restaurant owners under her jurisdiction.
* The Detroit Michigan police department is the subject of two lawsuits filed by the ACLU on behalf of two people alleging that they were falsely charged with misdemeanors for doing nothing more than questioning the police.it's instances like these that make me wish that officers would become personally liable for financial repayment to the person issued the ticket or charged and tried.
* Sparta New Jersey has settled a lawsuit for $1,800,000 to two police officers who claimed that they were labeled as “rats” and run out of the department in retaliation for reporting fellow officers for alleged acts of sexual misconduct.need any further proof that bad cops are the majority?
* A Denver Colorado police officer was arrested on several charges including domestic violence, 3rd degree assault and criminal mischief on allegations that he abused his child.there's not enough info in the article to determine if he abused his child or not, but since the accusation was made by his ex-wife, it's possible that these are bogus accusations.

* The police chief of South Miami Florida has been fired but city officials are refusing to say why except that the results of their investigation has been forwarded to state prosecutors for potential criminal charges.
* A Fort Wayne Indiana police officer was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated by state police:
* The Kent County Delaware sheriff has been charged with DUI after stopped by state trooper, he tested 3x legal limit at .256 BAC.the DUI cases will be monitored so we can see if charges are reduced enough for the officers to keep their jobs.
* And finally, The Terrell County Georgia sheriff has been given 5 days in jail and a $500 fine on contempt of court charges for failing to bring detainees to court. He plans to appeal.more background info is needed, but this looks an awful lot like a maricopa county issue/power struggle.
