* The once-police chief of Jacksonville North Carolina has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of 1st degree murder in the 1972 shooting death of a US Marine sergeant. The chief, George Hayden, killed William Miller with two shots to the back of the head with an M-16 after Miller’s then wife lured him into an ambush so that she and Hayden wouldn’t lose custody of Miller’s daughter when they got married just a few months later due to a fraud case Miller was building against Hayden at the time.
* The state of New Jersey and two New Jersey transit cops will have to split up paying a $760,000 judgment that was awarded to the woman who was raped by the two officers. The pair were convicted of official misconduct and sentenced to 3 years in prison for talking the woman into following them after she had asked for help and then forcing her to have sex in the weeds under an overpass under threat of arrest.must be nice wearing a badge, getting to rape a woman, serve only 3 years for official misconduct and not having to register as a sex offender.
* A Tacoma Washington police officer has been charged with three counts of 1st degree child molestation involving a female relative that allegedly began when the girl was between 5 and 6 years old and lasted until she was 12. Even though the alleged incidents last occurred in 2003, the statute of limitations haven’t run out.
* An Hawaii deputy sheriff may face a year in jail after he plead guilty to repeatedly sexually assaulting his niece over a 4 year period which began when the girl was only in first grade.first priests, and now cops?
* Five Cheltenham Pennsylvania police officers are the subject of a lawsuit on allegations that they assaulted a man outside his home and then strip searched him over a disorderly conduct arrest for playing loud music. When the man made a complaint about it the cops filed several charges against him in retaliation. However, Common Pleas Judge Paul Tressler blasted the officers when that case went to court when he ordered the internal affairs officer who testified to get off the bench and said “I think he is a liar,I don’t believe a word out of his mouth, and I am insulted that I have to say that about a police officer.” He further added that the charges “reeked of a cover-up.“let's hear it for the judge.
* A Shreveport Louisiana police officer has been arrested on a domestic battery charge… while he was already on leave due to being arrested for domestic violence back in March.
* Several Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agents across the US are alleging that their department lives in fear of a widespread culture of retaliation within the ATF where whistleblowers are punished for reporting allegations of misconduct.
this is because the bureaucracy is more interested in falsely convicting americans than they are in doing their job right.
* A Jacksonville Florida police officer already facing charges for ordering a subordinate to file a falsified report to cover for a fruitless drug search has been arrested on allegations that he beat a handcuffed man with a police radio in the back of a cruiser.
* Similarly, two Albany New York police officers were arrested in unrelated domestic violence incidents. One officer was arrested for petit larceny, harassment, and criminal tampering for threatening to kill a female acquaintance and her 2 children then disabling the woman’s cell phone by throwing away the SIM chip.
* The other Albany officer was indicted over an alleged incident that occurred last year where he was accused of pointing a gun at his girlfriend during an argument.
* A West Covina California police officer is the subject of a lawsuit alleging that he falsely charged a man with rape so that he could continue having an affair with his ex-wife. The officer has been the subject of similar allegations of getting sexually involved or harassing crime victims in his job as a sexual crime investigator.
* A Maplewood New Jersey police officer has resigned and was sentenced to probation as conditions of a plea deal for allegations that he pistol-whipped his ex-wife’s boyfriend.
* A Clatskanie Oregon police officer was sentenced to 180 days in jail after pleading guilty to burglary and official misconduct charges for burglarizing three homes in search of oxycontin and vicodin in order to feed his drug habit.
* Pittsburgh Pennsylvania has decided to settle a lawsuit for $15,000 to a woman claiming that an officer groped her when he picked her up to move her away from a nightclub doorway and then then injured her when he dropped her on the pavement.
* The Houston Community College Texas police chief is under investigation for firing 3 officers and for his decision to create heavily armed tactical teams (SWAT). While the officers who were fired were facing a allegations ranging from sexual harassment to workplace violence, so that probe is questionable, the implementation of heavily armed SWAT teams to police a community college campus seem pretty worrisome and unusual to me.
more militarization of the police. just what we need.
* A Valencia County New Mexico deputy is now a wanted man after a bench warrant was issued against him when he failed to appear at a court hearing over an on-duty accident that he was accused of causing.
* A Schenectady New York police officer was sentenced to probation and forced to resign as part of a plea deal for violating a protection order that was filed by his ex-girlfriend.
* A Long Beach New York police officer ran over a sunbather who was sleeping in a chair with his SUV patrol vehicle while patrolling the beach. Police claim that he may have run the man over while distracted by a call to help search for a missing swimmer. The man is currently in the hospital with internal injuries and broken bones. Witnesses say the man had tread marks all up and down his back.
* Two Cleveland Ohio police officers were suspended for six months without pay after GPS records showed they sat in their cruisers at a cemetery for hours instead of patrolling their assigned areas. Apparently they were asked to investigate reports of a dead body on the side of a local highway but only passed by the location quickly, missing the body, so they could return to the cemetery to chill. That body was that of a female murder victim and mother of three kids and now her family is considering suit against the department.
* A Durham North Carolina police officer has resigned and was given a suspended sentence & probation as part of a plea deal for extortion and breaking & entering charges. Unfortunately there weren’t many details included in this report.
the plea deal included a reduction of the extortion and B&E charges down to a 1st degree trespass charge.
* A Paw Paw Michigan police officer who owns several gyms has been fired and charged with felony possession of anabolic steroids. A co-defendant in the case has been charged with the manufacture of said steroids that were allegedly sold to the officer.
* A Dodge County Georgia deputy is on leave without pay after being charged with battery, criminal trespass, and making terroristic threats after an investigation into an unspecified complaint. Sadly, even with charges being filed there aren’t many details being released on this one.
* An appellate court has ruled that the Minneapolis Minnesota police department must reveal more information about complaints made against officers than it has been doing. While it was a mixed ruling on an appeal filed by the Communities United Against Police Brutality group, it still serves to increase transparency in that troubled police department that frequently lands at the top of our statistical reports due to a high misconduct rate.more transparency is a good thing
* The Oklahoma State Police have released dashcam video of a 2008 incident where a trooper kicked a handcuffed woman for spitting. The video was cleared for release after the trooper plead guilty to reduced charges over the incident in March.the reduced charges to a misdemeanor, along with letting him resign instead of firing him, allow this angry and undisciplined individual to get hired on at some other agency.
Now, I'd like to impart some decent news about cops.
* The Albuquerque New Mexico police department has apparently offered to pay for veterinary bills after they shot a family’s dog with a rifle while responding to what ended up being a false 911 call. While not admitting wrongdoing over the shooting, the family questioned it by saying the officers could have just shut the door they opened to stop the dog instead of shooting it.hindsight is 20/20, but the officer in question reacted like anyone else probably would with a pit bull. Kudos to the Sargent for picking up the vet surgery tab.
* Over a dozen Dallas Texas police officers are being disciplined for their respective roles participating in or permitting a questionable 2009 high-speed chase in rush-hour traffic in pursuit of carjacking suspects that put the public at risk as it took them through different areas, such as school zones, at high rates of speed.
This one is pure political posturing by someone in the investigative committee. These officers didn't endanger anyone, the suspects did by fleeing. These officers managed to catch the violent car jackers with no bystanders getting hurt and they did it without firing a shot. They should have gotten commendations, not discipline.
