* A Lake Wales Florida police officer who was just given a second chance at keeping his law enforcement certification after he bit a 15-year-old’s nose at a football game is already facing another investigation into unspecified misconduct allegations… yes, you read that right, he bit a kid’s nose.
* A New Orleans Louisiana police officer who is one of the subjects of the Danziger Bridge shooting and cover-up investigation has resigned and it’s rumored that he’s going to enter a plea deal soon as he’s been in plea talks with federal prosecutors over his role as one of the shooters and in the subsequent cover-up. If he pleads he’ll be the fifth cop to do so in this case.
how many others will end up being part of this? I'll have to dig a little to see if any of the 'shooters' have actually plead guilty to any homicide charges.
* Three Columbia South Carolina police officers have refused to testify against a lawyer that they arrested out of fear of incriminating themselves. The lawyer was charged with resisting arrest but has been nolle prossed due because the report filed by the cops was contradicted by video that showed they lied about what happened that night outside a bar in October last year. The police chief there promised an investigation but that never happened, so now the state is investigating, supposedly.
no investigation of outright lying? are we shocked? i'm not. lets see what the state actually does.
* A Vivian Louisiana police officer has been charged with aggravated assault for threatening a man with his gun while he was off duty after an argument the two had over traffic tickets the officer issued to the man’s relatives. The officer left after the argument and then came back with a gun and threatened him.
A misdemeanor charge of aggravated assault. I'm sure you or I would be given the same consideration if we'd threatened an off duty officer with a gun, right?
* An Apopka Florida police officer was sentenced to probation & anger management class after she pleaded no contest for shooting at her husband during a domestic incident.
just so we're clear, she SHOT at her husband during a domestic incident, then disobeyed an order of protection to stay away from him, and all she's getting is probation and anger management counseling.
* Warren Ohio has settled an excessive force suit for $85,000 to a woman who’s head was left in stitches after she was beaten by an officer who made national news for a 2007 incident where he repeatedly tasered a woman on video.
how many more citizens should this pig get to abuse before he's finally fired and arrested?
* A Louisville Kentucky police officer who wrongfully arrested dozens of juveniles is still the subject of an internal investigation after the prosecutor there refused to pursue a case against her. It’s alleged that she intentionally falsely charged kids just to clear her cases.
the departments investigation is still ongoing, but with union protectionism as strong as it is, I doubt she'll see any kind of punishment.
* A Manchester New Hampshire police officer was found guilty of a misdemeanor simple assault charge for punching a man at a bar for allegedly touching his fiance’s butt. The jury deadlocked on a more serious felony assault charge though.
This is one of those cases that should anger everyone. This 'officer' was acquitted of the felony charge because the victim refused to testify. The refusal to testify was based upon the 'pending' felony sexual assault charges that the LEO buddies were ready to file if he did testify.
* A Harrison County Mississippi deputy was arrested on extortion and rendering criminal assistance charges as part of an ongoing corruption investigation against him.
alone or with partners?
* A Schenectady New York police officer was able to retire a day before she was found guilty of official misconduct and drug charges for illegally obtaining prescription medication.
another pension saved. that was close.
* The Seattle Washington police department is now investigating claims that some of their police officers may have been exerting influence on a local TV station to keep it from reporting on police misconduct issues. The claims stem from the videotaped incident between an innocent man and police where the man was kicked and stomped on but the station refused to air the video until a day after a rival station aired it three weeks after that first station got a copy of it… and allegedly erased it from their system so it wouldn’t be seen. For those who say there is media bias out there that keeps misconduct secret, you should be watching this one.follow the money trail. see where it leads.
* From Radley Balko, the state law in Illinois makes recording on-duty police officers a Class I felony, which is the same as sexual assault, punishable by 4-15 years in prison. Massachusetts has a similar law banning the recording of public officials and while Illinois hasn’t successfully prosecuted anyone with their law, not for a lack of trying, Massachusetts has.nothing to fear, nothing to hide, right? what are they afraid of? Actually, this law is the result of the city of chicago having to pay out over 3 million to an individual because one of their 'only ones' lied on the report about the resisting arrest charge. When video and audio later surfaced, state legislators in chicago moved quickly to close that freedom 'loophole'. Of course, law enforcement and government agents are exempt from that law.
* An FBI agent in Tennessee was charged with nineteen counts that include bank fraud for lying about his job to get $1.5mil in mortgages and then lying again in his subsequent bankruptcy filing.
just remember, that it is against the law for YOU to lie to a federal agent.
* A Dumfries Virginia police officer received a suspended sentence in exchange for his guilty plea for stealing police firing range targets to sell for personal profit.
This doesn't sound like a very big deal, but he wasn't stealing from the department, he was stealing from the taxpayers.
* A Gainesville Florida police officer is on paid leave while that officer is the subject of an unspecified criminal investigation. Police officials claim state law prohibits release of details in that case.
in other words, you the citizen are not allowed to know what your betters are doing.
* And lastly, an Emmaus Pennsylvania police officer was suspended while he’s under investigation for an unspecified alcohol-related incident, no other details are being released.
again, YOU don't need to know. your 'state' will shield and protect you from all the badness in the world
lastly, there's an unofficial report going around about the raid in detroit where a 7 year old girl was murdered by a police officer during a 'high risk' raid to arrest a man suspected of murder. He was reportedly walking along the street just an hour before this raid happened. If this turns out to be true, and this individual was careless enough to walk around wherever he wanted, why was this high risk raid necessary? TV show maybe?
stay safe this weekend people.
