* At least two Denver Colorado police officers have been accused of sneaking into a couple’s home and then arresting them for refusing to let the police in without a warrant after an animal control officer complained about them not answering the door. The woman claims she was violently arrested even though she’s pregnant.She told police they were not welcomed when they asked to come in, but officers entered through the garage door and arrested the couple. the cops and city are being extremely quiet over this one. at least they didn't shoot their dog.
* Three Grand Junction Colorado police officers are under investigation on allegations that they went through a homeless encampment and slashed tents, punctured bike tires, and destroyed property without cause. While the three are under investigation, police have been handing out replacement tents to the homeless, sparking speculation that this is a sign that police are admitting that the incident occurred as alleged.
* A Richland County South Carolina deputy who is assigned as a school resource officer has been arrested on unspecified criminal domestic violence charges.
* The now-former Mooresville North Carolina police chief is going to be indicted for embezzlement, obstruction, and other charges associated with an investigation into financial discrepancies in a “Cops for Kids” charity program that he ran while he was police chief for that department.
* The police chief for Earle Arkansas has agreed to a plea deal that drops most of the charges associated with his possession of stolen firearms while he was the police chief in Wheatley Arkansas. He may still face prison time despite the plea for possessing a stolen machine gun and for having a firearm that had the serial numbers removed.this one will be interesting because there was a case a few years ago in Illinois where a cop had an illegal machine gun, was convicted at trial, then had the conviction overturned on appeal because the law was unconstitutionally vague as it applied to him.
* The Pittsburgh Pennsylvania police department is accused of violating their own policies and a recent consent decree with the federal government when they refused to investigate an incident where an officer had tasered a man for talking back to him. That case resulted in a lawsuit that was settled out of court, but whenever a suit is filed it is supposed to trigger an automatic investigation, which never happened.let me show you my 'shocked' face.
* Atlanta Georgia police are investigating claims from eye-witnesses that a police officer rear-ended a moped and sent the moped’s driver to the hospital with several injuries. The details are a bit murky so far, but this one may bear watching.
