Totalitarianism in One City: Shreveport’s Gun-Grabbing Mayor

by William Norman Grigg

Any time a motorist is stopped by a police officer, insists Shreveport, Louisiana Mayor Cedric Glover, "Your rights ... have been suspended." This includes not only the freedom of movement, but also, in the event the officer inquires as to whether the driver is carrying a weapon, "Your right to be able to hold on to your weapon and say whether [you] have a weapon or not" – as well as the right to retain possession of that weapon, should the officer decide to confiscate it from you.

Should you choose not to answer the question, or answer it in the negative, the officer could still choose, "in the interest of officer safety, to secure you in a safe position" – this most likely means outside the car with your hands cuffed behind your back – "and then do an appropriate inspection of your vehicle."

The phrase "appropriate inspection" is more honestly rendered "Unconstitutional warrantless search."

Should the police officer then turn up a firearm or other weapon in the car, the driver "would be guilty or potentially guilty of even a more severe offense" than whatever he had allegedly done to precipitate the traffic stop, according to Mayor Glover. Police officers, according to Glover, are invested with "a power that the President of the United States does not have ... and that is the ability to be able to suspend your rights."

This is "one of the things that I say to each and every one of the police officers who graduates from the Shreveport Police Academy since I've been mayor." Fortunately for the public, one supposes, Mr. Glover remembers the lesson that Peter Parker learned from his kindly and sagacious uncle Ben – that is, with great power comes great responsibility. "You have to understand there is a great deal of power that is vested within ... the law enforcement personnel of this country," Glover insists. "It's why there is a great deal of responsibility that has to go along with it."

Glover offered those remarkable observations, and many others like them, in a recorded phone call with Shreveport resident Robert Baillio.

Mr. Baillio had called to complain about a recent traffic stop in which an SPD officer, who – before dealing with any other matter of business – asked if Baillio had a firearm, then temporarily seized it from him.

Louisiana law recognizes the right of the state's residents to carry loaded weapons in their vehicles, and Baillio has a state-issued concealed carry permit – that is, a piece of paper in which the state generously recognizes one facet of Baillio's innate right to bear arms.

According to Baillio's account, he was cordial and polite when he was stopped after supposedly neglecting to use a turn signal. That this was almost certainly a pretext stop is illustrated by the fact that Baillio never received a ticket. Supplemental evidence is offered by the fact that the conversation between the officer and Baillio focused entirely on the issue of gun ownership, including a question about Baillio's membership in the National Rifle Association.

Baillio doesn't conceal his NRA membership; it's advertised by a sticker on the rear windshield of his truck, as are his very passionate views of the right to armed self-defense. "Armed We Are Citizens! Un-Armed We Are Subjects!" exclaims another bumper sticker, expressing a core truth of our republican heritage. Yet another sticker displays various kinds and grades of ammunition captioned by the directive, "Celebrate Diversity."

It's the safest of bets that what triggered the stop, as it were, was not a traffic infraction by Baillio, but rather the police officer's conditioned reflex to treat the public expression of pro-gun ownership sentiments as innately suspicious.

In brief, Baillio was a victim of political profiling of the sort being encouraged by the Department of Homeland Security and the totalitarian "watchdog" groups who have spent decades indoctrinating the police.

In his telephone chat with Glover, Baillio – who was persistent but unfailingly polite – pointed out that he "answered the [officer's] question honestly and he disarmed me."

"Which would be appropriate and proper action, sir," replied Glover. "The fact that you gave the correct answer – it simply means that you did what you were supposed to do and that is to give that weapon to the police officer so he could appropriately place it in a place where it would be no threat to you, to him, or to anyone in the general public."

"Well, you know, he still had a gun," observed Baillio, hoping to underscore the fact that guns – as objects, rather than actors – do not pose a "threat" in and of themselves. "How is he – "

"Because he's a police officer," interjected Baillio before he could finish the question. "As I've just related to you, that police officer has powers, sir, that you do not have."

Let's unpack that reply, shall we?

From Glover's perspective, it is only when firearms are in the hands of people other than the state's uniformed enforcers/oppressors that they constitute a threat, not only to the public and those in charge of exercising official violence but also to the private gun owner himself.

Glover, a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, clearly believes that any firearms in civilian hands should be considered illicit. This is, in both a cultural and constitutional sense, entirely un-American.

Interestingly, it is in harmony with the UN's position, however, as summarized in the world body's 2000 agitprop film Armed to the Teeth: The World-Wide Plague of Small Arms. That film insists that the only "legal" weapons are those "used by armies and police forces to protect us" – as if the word "protection" describes the uses to which weapons are put by the enforcement organs of the criminal states that compose the UN.

It is his attitudes toward civilian firearms ownership and the plenary power of police, not his ethnicity or any similar accident of birth, that would make Glover a very suitable ruler of any of the scores of squalid Third World thugocracies represented in the UN.

According to Glover, a police officer may properly disarm any civilian at any time, and the civilian's duty is to surrender his gun – willingly, readily, cheerfully, without cavil or question. This is because police officers, as numinous beings anointed by the Holy State, exude the essence of pure goodness and would never commit acts of criminal violence against disarmed civilians.

Tell that to Angela Garbarino, a woman who was arrested by the SPD last year for DWI and wound up lying in a pool of her own blood after being "subdued" in a police holding cell.

Gaps in the security camera record of the incident occur at convenient intervals, so it's not clear exactly how Garbarino wound up bloodied on the floor. In a photograph taken later Angela displays the marks of a severe beating, including two black eyes, a broken nose, and a cut on the forehead that required stitches.

Wylie Willis, the hired thug who administered the beating, can be observed in the video checking his hands to see if there is blood on them. He was dismissed after the incident for "violating departmental policy," but faced no other sanctions.

Like any other pseudo-male who beats a defenseless woman, Willis lied that his victim "slipped and fell."

Like any other police officer who loses his job after a criminal assault on a "civilian," Willis insists that his firing was unjustified.

And like any other police union anywhere in our once-free country, the Shreveport Police Union insists that the abusive cop should get his job back.

Obviously, Willis should at the very least be prosecuted for felonious battery. Or, better yet, he should be put into a room, unarmed, with several of Angela's male relatives and given an opportunity to demonstrate the unalloyed martial prowess that enabled him to beat an intoxicated woman half his size whose hands were cuffed behind her back. Willis appears to have been a serial abuser of women, as do several others among Shreveport's ahem, finest.

In April, Jasmine M. Winston filed a civil rights suit against the City of Shreveport. A couple of years ago she was beaten by a baton-wielding Officer Willis outside a nightclub and then slammed face-first into the concrete by fellow SPD thug Daniel Sawyer. Oh, the undaunted courage these two armed "men" displayed in double-teaming a solitary woman.

A lawsuit filed by Darlene Atkins in 2006 claims that Willis put a gun to the head of her son Dillion Freeman following a brief pursuit and threatened to shoot Dillion if any of his family approached him. Another suit filed that year by resident Tomeka Bush claimed that after she filed a complaint in the Atkins incident, Willis retaliated by seizing her car. As in the subsequent beating of Angela Garbarino, there were anomalies in the official video record of the Atkins incident; in this case, the entire video was missing. The SPD "investigated" the matter just long enough to satisfy itself that Willis (let's say it all together, shall we?) acted in accordance with department policy. He always did – until his officially sanctioned criminal violence was documented beyond dispute.

Loathsome as he is, Willis is not exceptional.

In 2007, eight SPD officers were arrested for various offenses, including perjury, falsification of official reports, falsifying tickets, DWI, drug charges, and maintaining an "inappropriate" on-line relationship with an underage girl.

Of those offenses, the most striking are those committed in an official capacity. Given the latitude offered to Willis, it's difficult to imagine how blatantly an SPD officer would have to perjure himself before facing punishment.

Oddly enough, Cedric Glover didn't mention the corruption roiling in the SPD when, roughly a year ago, he vetoed a police retention plan that included a pay raise. And now that the "stimulus" spigots have been thrown open, Glover is eager to build his police department into a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude.

"We're asking for 90 additional police officers ... with this stimulus package [because] there is a portion that is available for cop spending and we want to go out there and capture as much of it as we can," oinked Cerdo, er, Cedric last February as the Holy One, His Munificence Barrack the Blessed (peace be upon him) hoisted the slop bucket over the national trough.

Along with expanding the local "infrastructure," Big Cerdo's chief priority for the stimulus is to use federal funds to expand his own herd of gun-grabbing Cerditos. The same is probably true of dozens of other mayors across the country, some of which may boast police departments even more corrupt than the one afflicting Shreveport.

Shreveport resident Ken Krefft, president of a neighborhood association, is understandably worried that the SPD's corruption could damage the city's tourism industry: "This is not a good thing for the city [to tell tourists] – 'Come to Shreveport, we've got crooked cops.'" It used to be that Americans would have visit such destinations as Cuba to experience what it's like to deal with corrupt police who can disarm, beat, and presumably kill innocent people with impunity. Cedric Glover has thoughtfully turned his city into a totalitarian theme park we can visit without leaving the United States – in a geographic sense, anyway.

YouTube - Hope Steffy Forcibly Stripped Nude and Left for hours

Strip Search Part 1: Strip search of woman by Sheriff's Deputies called outrageous

CANTON -- Hope Steffey's night began with a call to police for help. It ended with her face down, completely naked and sobbing on a jail cell floor.

Steffey says Stark County sheriff's deputies used excessive force and assaulted her during a strip search 15 months ago, according to a federal lawsuit.

Stark County Sheriff Timothy Swanson denies the allegation.

Steffey's attorney says her clothes, including her underwear and bra, were stripped from her body by at least seven male and female sheriff's deputies and jail workers. She lay face down in handcuffs at the time.

"Hope begged and pleaded with her ... assailants to stop," the lawsuit says. "There was no forcible penetration but Hope felt as if she was being raped."

The sheriff denies this was a strip search.

The sheriff's policy requires officers conducting any strip search to be of the same sex.

Her attorney, David Malik, said Steffey, 41, was never asked to voluntarily remove her clothes. In an e-mail, Swanson said Steffey was asked to remove her clothes but refused. He said deputies took them off for her own safety.

Swanson declined to comment further, saying the details would come out in court.

Channel 3 News obtained exclusive video of Steffey's night in the Stark County jail cell. You can click the link at the bottom of the page to view it. A warning: it is difficult to watch.

Steffey declined to be interviewed for this story. But her husband, a high school educator, talked to Channel 3's Tom Meyer.

Greg Steffey said his wife is still traumatized. But the couple wants the story told to prevent it from happening to someone else.

"This could be your wife or anyone's wife," Greg Steffey said.

He said he still can't believe this happened to Hope, a 125-pound woman who, earlier that night, turned to police for help.

"You don't treat people like this," Greg Steffey said. "I don't think murderers are treated like this much less people charged with disorderly conduct."

Steffey's ordeal with the Stark County Sheriff's deputies began after her cousin called police for help.

In a 9-1-1 call, her cousin said Steffey had been assaulted by another cousin.

When a Stark County deputy arrived, he asked for Steffey's driver's license. She accidentally turned over her dead sister's license, which she said she keeps in her wallet as a memento, the lawsuit says.

The deputy refused to give the license back and told Steffey to "shut up about your dead sister," according to her attorney.

The sheriff denied that in a written response to the lawsuit.

Eventually, Steffey was arrested and taken to the Stark County Jail. She was later charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

After her clothes were removed, she was locked in a cell. To stay warm, she wrapped herself in toilet paper. She remained in the cell for six hours.

During that time, she was not allowed to use a phone or seek medical attention for injuries she suffered that night, including a cracked tooth, bulging disc and bruises, the lawsuit says.

The sheriff denies that.

Waffle House waiter sues over Taser incident
By Andria Simmons
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Thursday, July 02, 2009

http://img.coxnewsweb.com/C/01/94/01/image_8601941.jpg

A Waffle House employee is suing the Gwinnett County Police Department over what he says was an unprovoked encounter with an officer who stunned him with a Taser.

The department’s internal investigation records reveal that the officer used the weapon like a toy with tacit approval from two superior officers.

Daniel Wilson, the 22-year-old waiter, spoke publicly about the encounter Wednesday at his attorney’s office in Snellville. The incident has already resulted in the arrest of Cpl. Gary Miles, 33, and the resignations of Sgt. Christopher Parry and Sgt. Joey Parkerson. None of the officers could be reached for comment this week because their phone numbers are unlisted.

Wilson said all three officers were regular customers at the Waffle House at 2725 Grayson Highway in Loganville.

He said the restaurant provided police with free food.

Wilson said the officers often pointed the red laser from their Taser at him playfully. They would do so when Wilson picked a song they didn’t like on the jukebox or when telling him not to mess up their order, Wilson said.

“It was uncomfortable, but they are my customers and they tip pretty well,” Wilson said. “I just thought they were being foolish.”

Then on Feb. 16, Wilson was chatting with Parry and Parkerson when Miles sidled up behind him. Without saying a word, Miles zapped him with the Taser, Wilson said.

“I remember feeling the pulse go through my body,” Wilson said. “It hurt.”

Taser stun guns deliver a 50,000-volt electrical current capable of incapacitating a person. The weapon can fire barbed probes a distance of up to 35 feet, or it can be used in “drive stun mode” when pressed directly against a suspect. Gwinnett police checked the data recording from Miles’ Taser and found it was fired for one second at 2:48 a.m. on Feb. 16.

Miles told investigators that he only “spark tested” the Taser near the employee’s back “just to scare him a little bit,” according to the internal investigation file.

Parry, 41, and Parkerson, 39, witnessed the employee being shocked but did not report it. They laughed along with Miles, Wilson said. The sergeants later told investigators they didn’t realize the Taser made contact with Wilson’s body.

Wilson said he remembers telling Miles in the presence of the other officers, “Hey, you actually tased me.”

Wilson again sought an apology from Miles a few days later for accidentally stunning him. He said Miles replied, “Who says I did it by accident?”

Miles was arrested June 18 on charges of misdemeanor battery and violating his oath as an officer. Parry and Parkerson resigned in lieu of termination June 19. Police are also investigating allegations that a fourth officer pointed a Taser at Wilson’s groin during an earlier incident.

Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter said he has not ruled out the possibility of charging the two sergeants.

“If the evidence shows there was an unprovoked use of the Taser, and if the evidence shows the sergeants had some criminal responsibility in the case, then they can expect to be prosecuted vigorously,” Porter said.

Michael Puglise, who is representing Wilson in the lawsuit in Gwinnett County State Court, is seeking unspecified punitive damages. He also wants a judge to bar Gwinnett police from carrying Tasers until their policy and training is evaluated.

“What is so concerning to me is the fact that you have a corporal - a ranking officer - zapping a kid with a stun gun and you have two sergeants sitting there watching for their own amusement,” Puglise said. “From their expressions and their actions, it is obvious that this is accepted.”

Gwinnett’s Police Department has had stun guns longer than any other force from the Atlanta area’s largest counties. Currently, 222 of Gwinnett’s 715 sworn officers are certified to carry Tasers, said Cpl. Illana Spellman, a department spokeswoman.

Spellman said using a Taser on innocent civilians is not acceptable. It is also against department policy for officers to accept free food from restaurants.

“It is clearly stated in training that the Taser will only be used to defend the officer or someone else,” Spellman said. “[These officers] were completely wrong.”

Police departments across the state have adopted widely different policies about the use of stun guns. Recently, the director of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police said the state needs to offer standardized training.

Cops love sodomy. Cops love their tazers. It was just a matter of time....

By Carlos Miller
Boise police already had the suspect handcuffed when they rammed a Taser gun into his anus and fired.
Then they placed the Taser gun against his genitals and threatened to do the same.
At the time, the domestic violence suspect was lying face down with three officers on top of him, according to the Idaho Statesmen (http://www.idahostatesman.com/newsupdates/story/841919.html).
He couldn’t even breathe.
It was all caught on tape (http://media.idahostatesman.com/smedia/2009/07/22/17/BPD_IA_July2009_Audio.source.prod_affiliate.36.mp3). Here is the exchange that took place:
Cop: Do you feel this?
Suspect: Yes, sir.
Cop: Do you feel that? That’s my …
Suspect: Okay
Cop: … Taser up your ass.
Suspect: Okay
Cop: So don’t move.
Suspect: I’m trying not to. I can’t breathe.
Cop: Now do you feel this in your balls?
Suspect: I do, sir. I’m not going to move. I’m not gonna move.
Cop: Now I’m gonna tase your balls if you move again.
(A full minute goes by)
Cop: Okay, I’m gonna take this Taser out of your asshole now. Are you going to fight with me?
Suspect: No, not at all, sir.
Cop: (to another cop) So far, for the last two minutes, he’s been cooperative. But then my Taser’s in his ass.
Not only was the exchange documented on the cop’s own tape recorder, the suspect ended up with burns on the inside of his right buttock. These were evident in photographs taken ten and 13 days after the incident.
Also, another cop who taped an interview with the suspect at the jail later that night ended up erasing the taped interview.
So you would think the first cop would be prosecuted for sexual assault? Or maybe the second cop be charged with tampering with evidence?
After all, we have a case in Florida where a group of 14-year-old boys are going to be tried as adults because they sodomized (http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/06/04/florida.sexual.assault/index.html?iref=mpstoryview) one of their classmates with broomsticks and hockey sticks.
But the rules are different when you are a cop.
After an internal investigation, police determined that the first officer violated the department’s use-of-force policy. And the second officer also violated department policy when he erased the taped interview.
Both officers have been “disciplined”, according to police.
But details of the discipline were not released. And neither were the names of the cops.
After all, police say, this is an “internal personnel matter.”
That’s right, nothing to see here. Move along now.
In fact, we would probably not have even heard of this story if it wasn’t for Boise’s Community Ombudsman, Pierce Murphy, (http://www.boiseombudsman.org/OmbudsmanMurphy.aspx) who happens to be a former cop. His job is to investigate complaints of misconduct against cops.
Although he never names the cops, he did provide an extensive and graphic 43-page report (http://www.boiseombudsman.org/InvestigativeReports/2009InvReports/09_0014PublicReport.pdf) on his findings.
The officers all told Murphy that the suspect was fighting, resisting and using profanity the entire time they were dealing with him, yet he notes that none of this is evident in the audio recording.
The Complainant was not completely still in response to the orders from police to stop moving. The Complainant was moving his torso and his legs in a manner consistent with trying to breathe more easily. The Complainant’s movements were not consistent with trying to escape from the police, attempting to head butt them, trying to kick any officer, or assaulting the officers.
Discussion of Finding: Consistent statements from the Complainant, Officer #1, Officer #2, Officer #6, and Officer #7. Although Officer #4 described the Complainant as “fighting” with the officers, yelling profanities, not doing what was commanded, kicking, and attempting to head butt them, the audio recording does not support her contention. No yelling of profanity by the Complainant can be heard. When the officers first entered the residence, the Complainant exclaimed, “God damn it. What the fuck?” The Complainant used no profanity after this. Officer #3 also stated that the Complainant was kicking. However, no officer can be heard on the recordings telling the Complainant to, “Stop kicking,” or, “If you kick again, I’ll tase you.” Instead, between the two of them, Officer #3 and Officer #4 told the Complainant several times to, “Stop moving,”.
Murphy also determined that the officers could have killed the suspect by piling on top of him like they did.
In the course of this investigation, it was clear that the involved officers were familiar with the concept of Positional Asphyxia as it relates to prisoners who are hobbled. However, none of the officers seemed to be aware of the possible danger posed by Positional Asphyxia to the Complainant in this case. This was a situation where a heavy, not terribly physically fit, middle-aged man had engaged in heavy physical exertion at the door. He was then placed face-down on the ground and handcuffed with his hands behind his back and the weight of three officers on his body. This may have had the effect of restricting the expansion of the Complainant’s chest and diaphragm, thus inhibiting the ability of the Complainant to get adequate oxygen and exhale sufficient carbon dioxide to compensate for the physical exertion in which he had just engaged.
Around the nation, many in-custody deaths have been attributed to Positional Asphyxia. The following is taken from an article appearing in the June, 1995, National Law Enforcement Technology Center Bulletin produced by the US Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice.
But despite the sodomy, the torture, the destruction of evidence and even the attempted manslaughter, Murphy’s recommendation was that these officers simply needed more training.

ASHEVILLE — An Asheville firefighter charged with attempted first-degree murder after witnesses said he shot at a bicyclist, made his first appearance today in Buncombe County District Court.
Charles Alexander Diez, 42, apparently fired at the Asheville man after arguing with him about riding his bike on the busy road with his 3-year-old child in a bike seat behind him, Asheville Police Capt. Tim Splain said.Diez's case is set to be heard on Aug. 17 in Buncombe County Superior Court.
Diez was driving his car off Interstate 40 at Exit 55 at about 11:24 a.m. Sunday when he saw Alan Ray Simons and his wife riding bikes up the road with Simons' 3-year-old son behind him in a bike seat, he said.
“He decided he needed to tell them he thought it was unsafe that they would do that and have their child out there in an area where they had a lot of traffic,” Splain said.
Diez stopped his car and confronted Simons near 1360 Tunnel Road. When Simons began to walk away, Diez shot at him, Splain said.
The bullet blew a hole through the outer lining of Simons' helmet and went straight through both sides of it, but he was not hit.
Simons and others who witnessed the incident took down Diez's registration plate number and called police.
After consulting with the Buncombe County District Attorney's Office, police charged Diez with one count of attempted first-degree murder.
“A matter of an inch or less in either direction would have meant that bullet could have easily killed Mr. Simons,” Splain said.
Buncombe County Sheriff's deputies found Diez's vehicle at his home on Rowland Road in Swannanoa and arrested him. Diez was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the shooting and has no prior criminal record, Splain said.
He has been employed by the Asheville Fire Department since February 1992, according to interim Chief Scott Burnette. Diez has been placed on paid leave during the investigation, Burnette said.
Diez was being held today at the Buncombe County Detention Center with a secured bond set at $500,000

MOBILE, Ala. -- Police in Mobile, Ala., used pepper spray and a Taser on a deaf, mentally disabled who they said wouldn't leave a store's bathroom. The family of 37-year-old Antonio Love has filed a formal complaint over the incident on Friday. Police tell the Press-Register of Mobile that officers shot pepper spray under the bathroom door after knocking several times. After forcing the door open, they used the stun gun on Love. Police spokesman Christopher Levy says police didn't realize Love had a hearing impairment until after he was out of the bathroom. The officers' conduct is under investigation. The newspaper says the officers attempted to book Love on charges including disorderly conduct, but a magistrate on duty wouldn't accept the charges.

A video that once again has the Hollywood Police Department investigating allegations of corruption against its officers went undiscovered for months because a DVD filed March in court did not contain the incriminating clip.
The video, in which officers are heard discussing plans to doctor an arrest report in order to fault an accused drunk driver in a police-involved crash, is now at the center of an internal affairs investigation into the actions of five department employees.
The clip could also alter the outcome of court cases from misdemeanor DUI to murder.
Prosecutors learned of the video July 21 -- more than five months after Alexandra Torrensvilas was charged with driving under the influence in a Feb. 17 crash with Officer Joel Francisco.
Charles Morton, Broward's chief assistant state attorney, said Friday that a disc originally filed in Broward Circuit Courts contained only two of three video clips involved in the case.
``It's under investigation,'' he said, declining to comment further.
According to court documents, prosecutor Cathy Berkowitz received the clip from Torrensvilas attorney Lawrence Meltzer. Prosecutors dropped all charges against the 23-year-old Hollywood resident Wednesday, despite evidence that she had a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit at the time of her arrest.
Hollywood Police Chief Chadwick Wagner declined through a department spokesman late Friday to comment on the previously missing video.


Wagner did speak publicly about the investigation for the first time Friday morning after days of silence while the video gained thousands of hits on YouTube.com and received national attention. Wagner addressed the video and allegations against his officers, saying his department is thoroughly investigating and has requested the state attorney's help.
``With that said, I realize and understand those that feel a sense of betrayal over this incident and I ask each and every one of you to allow this investigative process to run its course,'' he said.
Wagner said he learned of the allegations against his officers Tuesday and took immediate action, suspending Francisco, arresting Officer Dewey Pressley, Sgt. Andrew Diaz and Community Service Officer Karim Thomas prior to media reports about the video.
On Friday, police identified a fifth employee caught up in the probe: Crime Scene Technician Andrea Tomassi.


Wagner said by law he could not comment on the investigation. He declined to answer questions about the incident and struggled with a locked door before leaving the department's conference room amid a flurry of queries about his department's credibility and maligned history. Most notably, Hollywood Police were embroiled in a scandal in 2007 when a federal sting led to the arrest of four officers. Public Defender Howard Finkelstein has been critical of the department since Meltzer brought the video to his attention July 24. He said he received a copy from police and released the clip to a legal affairs blog the following Monday, setting off a media firestorm.
The next day, he sent a letter to Wagner, demanding accountability and decrying what he called a ``culture of corruption'' at the department.
Some city commissioners generally spoke positively about the department Friday.
``I think it's just individuals. I don't think it's an entire culture of corruption,'' Commissioner Beam Furr said. ``I hope we are able to weed them out.''


Now, with the video in-hand, Finkelstein said the allegations against the officers could act as legal dominoes in pending and resolved cases in which they were called as witnesses. ``This could have huge, far-reaching implications and that's why you need to understand this is more important than a couple of cops did something bad,'' he told The Miami Herald.
The state attorney's office is now evaluating 27 pending cases involving the accused officers to determine whether it can prosecute without the officers' testimony, according to Morton.
Those cases range from misdemeanor DUI to murder, said chief assistant public defender Mindy Solomon.
She said the Public Defender's Office is also reviewing cases closed during the last 30 days and during the last two years to see if they could be potentially reopened.
``We have new evidence we didn't have before,'' she said.

Posted by Charles Gazaway - email

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A former Louisville Metro Police Officer convicted of raping a woman three years ago in the presence of her 9-month-old daughter, is now a free man after his conviction was overturned in appeals court.

50-year-old Billy Ray White, who once faced a 12-year prison sentence, had a conviction and new trial ordered last year by the Kentucky Court of Appeals, with the ruling of using limited prosecutor's evidence against him.

A Jefferson Circuit Jury found White guilty of rape, intimidating a participant in a legal process, tampering and official misconduct in February 2006. White was also tried in 2004 for the alleged rape of Shannon Franklin and convicted on charges of tampering with a witness, public records and physical evidence.

Previously, White had requested for separate trials. The Court of Appeals decided that request was wrongly denied for the official misconduct, tampering and intimidation charges for the separate incidents.

On July 28, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jon Heck and White's attorney Steve Schroering asked Jefferson Circuit Court Judge McKay Chauvin for a new trial date and were told to resolve the case on July 30.

"He determined at this point, that if he had the opportunity to be released from prison to go on with his life while maintaining his innocence, that he would be foolish not to take that," said Schroering.

After the July 30 Alford Plea, White will now face lesser charges of sexual abuse and will be sentenced to time already served. He will be required to register as a sex offender and be under court restrictions for the next three years.

"The only thing that makes me more angry than the fact that he's going to be free, is the prospect that he would be free and not a convicted felon and not a convicted sex felon, he could have this case expunged if he was acquitted alright, and he could go out west and try to become a police officer again," said Heck.

Stark County — Stark County has agreed to settle the lawsuit brought by Hope Steffey who says she was brutally strip searched and left completely naked inside a jail cell for six hours.

U.S. District Court Judge David Dowd said in a court order that the plaintiffs, including Sheriff Tim Swanson and the Stark County Board of Commissioners, "have entered into a resolution of the plaintiffs' case against those defendants, reserving only a determination by the Court as to the amount of attorney fees and costs."

"As a consequence, the plaintiffs' case against the county defendants has been concluded, but the plaintiffs' claims against the non-county defendants remain before the court."

The non-county defendants include contractors which provide medical and psycholgocal services to the jail. That case is scheduled to go to court in October.

It appears from the court order that the county defendants have agreed to pay a monetary sum to the Steffeys but the order did not disclose the amount.

It also appears that the county has agreed to pay Steffeys' attorney fees and costs. A hearing on the amount of fees and expenses remains to be set by the court.

When asked if the settlement is an admission of guilt, Sheriff Swanson told The Investigator Tom Meyer, "No reaction, Tom" and he hung up.

Other county officials had no reaction either.

Steffey and her lawyer David Malik declined comment.

Steffey sued the county after six deputies -- both male and female -- forcibly removed all her clothes. The case began when Steffey had a relative call the sheriff for help after she was assaulted by her cousin.

She ended up being arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

The sheriff argued Steffey was suicidal, an allegation she denies. The sheriff said deputies had to remove all her clothes so she wouldn't harm herself.

Steffey's lawyers argued that deputies who handled her incarceration were not properly trained in homicide and suicide precautions.

The case generated reaction nationwide for months.

Ft. Myers, Florida — A Lee County Sheriff's Office corporal has been fired after his porn-viewing activities at work slowed agency computers.
Cpl. Scott Heimlich, 48, who worked in corrections, was fired July 23.
According to an Internal Affairs report released Friday, Heimlich violated the agency's policy on viewing pornographic material and conduct unbecoming of an officer.
The report said a check of Heimlich's computer found 857 pornographic images on his hard drive, 619 of which were time-stamped July 9. The other 238 pictures could not be dated but were similar to the other images.
The pictures were discovered when the sheriff's technical support team noticed the second week of July that servers began running unusually slow.
"They started checking the Internet proxy server and located a user (who) was accessing inappropriate video on the Internet," Sgt. Michael Stanforth reported.
They traced the login to Heimlich and seized his computer for a search.
Heimlich, who works in the Lee County Jail core facility, admitted he viewed the pictures while on duty.

A Denver police officer faces felony menacing and weapons charges based on an allegation that he pointed a pistol to speed up his order at an Aurora McDonald's in May.

An employee at the McDonald's at 18181 E. Hampden Ave. told investigators that two officers were waiting for their order at the drive-through window in the early morning hours when Derrick Curtis Saunders, 29, grew impatient and pulled a weapon.

In addition to the menacing and weapons charges, Saunders also is charged with prohibited use of a weapon, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, the Aurora Police Department said Monday.

Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said Saunders has been suspended with pay during the investigation, but he would be put on unpaid leave once the department is formally notified of the charges.

Jackson said neither he nor Police Chief Gerald Whitman would comment on the case.

"It would be inappropriate for us to make any comment about another department's case, especially an ongoing, active investigation," he said.

Saunders was assigned to Denver International Airport. His booking photograph was not available from Aurora police Monday.

Ky. jailer resigns after rape conviction

11:27 AM EDT on Friday, August 7, 2009



SANDY HOOK, Ky. (AP) -- An eastern Kentucky jailer has resigned after being convicted and sentenced on a rape charge.



The Independent of Ashland reports that 51-year-old Charles Howard stepped down after being informed that his public official bond was being revoked and without it he was no longer qualified to hold office.



In a resignation letter date July 29, Howard says he expects his absence to be temporary. He denies any wrongdoing and says that "once my appeal is successful, I intend to reclaim my position as jailer."



Howard was sentenced to 12 years in prison after a jury convicted him of raping a female prisoner. Howard had argued during the trial that he and the woman had consensual sex in his vehicle.

PEST-wielding Tax-Feeder Assaults Mom in Front of Her Kids
Posted by William Grigg on August 13, 2009 02:47 PM

Last January 31, Onondaga County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Andrews, fishing for revenue, stopped a woman named Audra Harmon near Salina, New York. Andrews claimed to have seen Harmon talking on her cell phone while driving; Mrs. Harmon, who had two of her children in the back of her mini-van, responded that she hadn’t been doing so and could prove it.

Undeterred, Andrews then accused Harmon of speeding. Again, Harmon politely insisted that she hadn’t been. She handed over her license and registration. As Andrews turned away, Harmon — under the impression that she was going to review the dashcam video, began to exit the car.

Andrews ordered Harmon back into the van, and then immediately ordered her out, saying that she was under arrest. When Harmon hesitated, Andrews seized her by the arm and violently yanked her out, ordering her to the ground. Seconds later he assaulted her with the first of two blasts from his Portable Electro-Shock Torture device (PEST, more commonly called a Taser).

He then dragged the mother — whose physical resistance amounted to a single attempt to pull away from the deranged, armed stranger when he dragged her from the car — toward the side of the road. He then knelt on her back, using his flabby bulk to pin down the traumatized woman while handcuffing her. Andrews falsified an arrest report by claiming that Harmon had “obstructed traffic” by stepping out of the van. The video of the incident clearly shows that Harmon was well away from traffic until she had been tased and dragged in the direction of the road by Andrews.

The victim of this assault under the color of state “authority” was charged with speeding (50 MPH in a 45 MPH zone), “disorderly conduct,” and resisting arrest. Those charges were dropped after prosecutors viewed the dashcam video.

Audra Harmon plans to sue the station. Andrews was re-assigned to office duty while internal affairs seeks some pretext to justify his criminal actions.

3 prison employees fired in wake of inmates' escape

Story Created: Sep 16, 2009 at 2:58 PM EDT

Story Updated: Sep 16, 2009 at 3:43 PM EDT

MICHIGAN CITY — The Indiana Department of Corrections fired three employees in connection with this summer's prison escape in Michigan City.

Department officials say they fired correctional officer Jonathan Waldo for trafficking and neglect of duty and correctional officer Kelley Westrich for dereliction of duty.

Prison officials say there was a lack of supervision while inmates Lance Battreal, Mark Booher and Charles Smith were working in tunnels underneath the prison. That's how they escaped. It took police more than a week to catch them.

Prison officials say the men worked in the tunnels for some time.

The state also fired maintenance foreman David Westlund and suspended correctional counselor Donald Bates for trafficking, which means they either gave something to the inmates or took something to them, both of which are prohibited.

Waldo filed an appeal; the other three still have time to do so.

Bullitt County police bust elaborate gambling ring

(WHAS11) - A Shepherdsville police officer has been suspended after Hillview police say they caught him in a raid on an illegal gambling operation.

Officer Brent Dawson, an 18-year-veteran of the Shepherdsville department, is suspended without pay for 30 days and for at least two years he will not be allowed to work any off-duty jobs where gambling might be involved, including church picnics.

Dawson was one of 16 people charged after Hillview police raided a building on Bells Mill Road last month.

They say a fake glass business was a front for gambling and that they found a makeshift casino inside.

Dawson was initially charged with loitering.

GARY, IN (AP) - Prosecutors say a Gary, Ind., police officer admits he stole $116,766 from an elderly neighbor who had dementia and is now dead.

Lake County prosecutor spokeswoman Diane Poulton says 51-year-old Joshua Wiley pleaded guilty Monday. She says he agreed to a term of 3 years in prison. Sentencing is Jan. 15.

Poulton says Wiley also will have to repay what he stole to the estate of Helen Chentnik. Poulton says $53,256 is due within 30 days, with monthly installments of $1,000.

Chentnik died in 2006 at age 89.

Lake County Prosecutor Bernard A. Carter says Wiley knew Chentnik had dementia and wasn't competent.

Carter says the officer used her ATM and debit card to withdraw cash and buy goods for himself.

HARLAN, Ky. — A former Harlan County sheriff's deputy is facing 30 years in prison after entering a plea on Monday in the 2002 slaying of an ex-sheriff.

Roger D. Hall entered an Alford plea to two counts of facilitation to murder Paul L. Browning Jr. and four counts of being involved in drug trafficking, the Harlan Daily Enterprise reported. In an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt but acknowledges there is enough evidence for a conviction.

Hall was accused of providing a gun to kill Browning and paying another man, Raymond Harris, $1,000 to pull the trigger. Browning was involved in a campaign to reclaim the sheriff's office when he was slain.

Hall's plea agreement calls for a sentence of five years on each of the six counts for a total of 30 years, The Lexington Herald-Leader reported. Formal sentencing is set for Nov. 2.

Convicted drug dealer Dewayne Harris testified in a previous trial that Hall was worried Browning would win the sheriff's election in 2002 and fire him. Hall worked for the man Browning was running against, Sheriff Steve Duff.

Dewayne Harris also said that at the time, he was giving bribes of as much as $3,000 a week to Hall in return for transporting drugs and providing information on drug investigations.

Browning had been sheriff of the county in the early 1980s, but was convicted of plotting to kill political enemies. He was stripped of his position and sent to prison. The governor later granted Browning a partial pardon that restored his right to vote and hold office.

Browning was running in the Democratic primary.

A jury last year sentenced Raymond Harris to life in prison without the possibility of parole after he was convicted of shooting Browning in the head on March 22, 2002.

Hall has not been a deputy since 2003.

sexually abused by him.

A grand jury handed down the indictment earlier this week for
67-year-old Issac "Andy" Baker. Police say the family of the
victim told authorities in May that Baker abused the girl while she
stayed at the home-based daycare center his wife runs.

The girl's exact age isn't known, but she is younger than 12.
Tuscaloosa police say Baker was a patrol officer from 1975 to
2000.

For starters we have Derrick Yancey, Dekalb County cop who killed his wife (also a Dekalb County cop) and an immigrant day laborer in Stone Mountain, GA. Got released on bond by one of Dekalb County's notoriously incompetent and corrupt judges, only to cut off his "electronic monitoring device" and flee to Belize.

DeKalb deputy accused in 2 slayings caught in Belize

Linda Yancey’s family had begun to lose faith.

It had been nearly six months since the Stone Mountain woman’s husband, Derrick Yancey, disappeared while awaiting trial for her murder and that of a day laborer, Marcial Cax-Puluc.

Yancey, a former DeKalb County deputy, had cut off the monitoring bracelet on his ankle, boarded a Greyhound bus headed west and disappeared.

“We kind of figured he was out of the country,” said Sandra Hannon, Yancey’s oldest sister.

They learned Monday they were right when DeKalb officials confirmed a tip that Yancey was in the Central American vacation hotspot, Punta Gorda, Belize. That tipster, whom authorities refused to identify, stands to collect a $20,000 reward, officials said.

DeKalb deputies, working with the U.S. Marshals Service, located Yancey in a bar in Punta Gorda, a town of about 6,000 in southern Belize.

Yancey admitted he was the fugitive and was taken into custody. Officials said he’d be back in Atlanta in days.

Authorities’ last knowledge of Yancey’s whereabouts was April 6 in Phoenix, Ariz. Since then, they acknowledged, they haven’t known where he was or how he was paying his bills. They did say he’d cashed out his pension and pocketed $18,000 just before leaving.

“We have some indication family members might have been helping him,” said Jeffrey Mann, chief deputy for the DeKalb Sheriff’s Office.

Mann said, however, that no charges were pending against any of the suspect’s family.

In June 2008, Yancey claimed that his wife had been killed by a day laborer at their Stone Mountain home. He told authorities he then killed the laborer, Cax-Puluc, in self-defense.

That story eventually unraveled and police charged Yancey in both killings. He was out on bond, being monitored by the ankle bracelet when he fled.

Hannon said Yancey had been plotting his escape for some time, taking trips to Texas and Detroit to review potential border crossings. She said the family immediately suspected the former deputy and never believed the complex story he told.

The escape shook her confidence in the legal system, Hannon said. The family is eager to see Yancey stand trial.

Hannon said the victim’s family still wonders about a motive.

Still, they are relieved he’s headed back to jail.

“There’s a sense of relief for the family,” Hannon said. “We are glad it didn’t take 10 years to find him. We are elated he’s been captured. ”

America's Most Wanted criminal nabbed in Belize

BELMOPAN, Belize, September 23, 2009 - A former United States deputy sheriff, featured on the popular television series America's Most Wanted, has been captured in Belize and is to be extradited to face trial for murdering his wife and another man a year ago.

Derrick Yancey was caught over the weekend in a bar in Punta Gorda, the largest town in southern Belize, just days after the US Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service acted on a lead that he was hiding out in that Caribbean country.

Deputy Officer in Charge at the Punta Gorda Police Station, Inspector Andres Makin, said Yancey was taken into custody without incident.

"We had his photograph in our possession and upon identifying ourselves, he just handed over himself. There was no resistance in his arrest," he said, adding that Yancey was taken to the station in the area before being transported to Belize City.

"I believe that relevant arrangement is being made for him to transported back to the United States...He is in custody and a flight away from being taken back to the United States."

Yancey was an officer with the Sheriff's Office in Dekalb County, Georgia when he was charged with murdering his wife Linda Yancey, 44, and 20-year-old labourer Marcial Cax Puluc in August 2008.

He had called into his own department to report that he had shot and killed Puluc in self defence after discovering that the young man had robbed, shot and killed his wife.

But police say ballistic tests show Yancey was responsible for both murders.

He was charged with two counts of murder, and released on US$150,000 bond while he awaited trial, under the condition that he be confined to house arrest. But Yancey escaped house arrest from his mother's home on the morning of April 4th, 2009.

Police say he cut off his electronic monitoring ankle bracelet before fleeing.

DeKalb police officer arrested on simple battery charge

A Dekalb County police officer was arrested Tuesday on a simple assault charge that came out of an argument he had with a woman over a cell phone call.

Officer Jameel H. Fraser was quickly released from DeKalb County’s jail after posting a $250 bond for the misdemeanor charge, according to records.

Kimia McMoore, who sought the warrant, said Fraser assaulted her and briefly detained her outside her apartment on North Hill Parkway

Fraser – who has been on the force less than two years - remains on administrative leave with pay while the department investigates McMoore’s charge, police said Wednesday.

According a written account, Fraser was wearing shorts, a T-shirt and a DKPD cap when he came up on the 34-year-old Chamblee woman as she was using her Bluetooth linked to her cell phone to talk to her daughter. Fraser asked McMoore who she was talking to and she pointed to the device in her ear.

McMoore told police Fraser then followed her to her car and tried to detain her. She said they continued to argue and she pushed Fraser away, not realizing he was a policeman.

McMoore called 911.

That is when Fraser left to call for back-up, telling the dispatcher McMoore was disorderly.

He returned with a set of handcuffs, placed a cuff on her right wrist and waited for officers to arrive, the report states.

The responding officers put McMoore in the rear seat of the patrol car, with her hands cuffed behind her, but they eventually released her without any charges, according to the report.

McMoore was later treated at Northside Hospital for a broken wrist, according to hospital records.

Macon Police Officer Arrested on Sex Charges
Chris Turner Created: 9/26/2009 12:04:03 PM Updated: 9/26/2009 12:04:49 PM

MACON, GA -- Macon police say an officer has been placed on administrative leave after he was arrested on multiple sex charges in Houston County.

Police said in a statement released Friday that 33-year-old Antonio J. White of Warner Robins is charged with rape, incest, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, statutory rape, cruelty to children and child molestation.

Sheriff's deputies arrested White around 6:40 p.m. Thursday. He was being held Friday at the Houston County jail without bond.

Houston County arrest warrants allege that the crimes occurred between April 19, 2006 and Sept. 2, 2009.

White's lawyer, Clarence Williams, says the allegations are untrue.

White was hired as a Macon police officer in September 2007.

And of course, the scumbag was released on bond:

Macon police officer accused of sex charges granted bond

A Macon police officer indicted on multiple sex charges was granted a bond of $10,000, put under electronic monitoring and ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim, or any children under 18, Thursday at the Houston County Courthouse.

Antonio J. White, 33, of Warner Robins, was indicted Tuesday on charges of incest, rape, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, two counts of child molestation and cruelty to children in the first degree at a grand jury, said Houston County prosecutor David Cooke. Judge Edward Lukemire delivered the terms of the bond.

White was arrested Sept. 24 at about 6:40 p.m. in Houston County, according to the sheriff’s office. White is on administrative leave after his arrest, Macon police said Friday.

The Macon Police Department hired White in September 2007 and he was primarily assigned to patrol, according to police. The alleged incidents occurred between April 19, 2006, and Sept. 2, 2009, according to Houston County arrest warrants.

White’s attorney Clarence Williams said the charges the alleged victim made are part of a history of “inappropriate sexual contact.”

“There has been a substantial rush to judgment surrounding his guilt,” Williams said.

Senior Assistant District Attorney David Cooke argued against bond, citing White’s criminal background. White served eight years of probation for selling cocaine as a first-time offender and also was charged with driving with a suspended license.

Cooke also said the alleged victim was able to provide details about White’s genitalia that matched a search warrant photo.

“We’re concerned for the safety of the community,” Cooke said.

About a dozen family members and friends attended the bond hearing in support of White.

He was released from the Bibb County jail on $6,250 bond Monday night, according to jail records.

Harris has been employed with the department since March 30, according to police.

A second officer, 32-year-old Dennis Benjamin Wood, of Macon, was arrested July 30 on a Jones County warrant accusing him of making harassing phone calls, said Jones County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Earl Humphries.

Facing the misdemeanor charge, Wood turned himself in to authorities and was released on a $2,000 property bond the same day.

Wood resigned from the police department Friday, Macon police Sgt. Melanie Hofmann said. He was hired in January 2007.

“Our officers are expected to maintain a high standard of professionalism,” Hofmann said. “If they violate the law, they will be treated as anyone else.”

Travious Watson, 21, of Greenville, said he left Club Synergy early Sunday morning and was parked at the Marathon at the intersection of Walnut Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard when police officers asked to search his car.

Police received a call about a person wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts having a gun at the same location, according to a police report.

Police say they didn’t find anything on Watson or in his vehicle so he was released.

Watson then went to the Krystal on Bloomfield Drive, but when it came time to pay he found there was no money in his wallet, according to the report.

He said he’d left his wallet in his pants on the back seat while police were searching his car.

Watson said he then called 911 and reported $20 was missing — a $10 bill, a $5 bill and five $1 bills.

The two officers who searched Watson’s car were asked to report to a police precinct, according to the report.

Harris, one of the officers, arrived first and went to his personal vehicle before meeting with his supervisor. He told other officers he was getting a protein shake, but he didn’t have one with him when he went to the precinct door, according to the report.

An officer searched Harris and found he had $12 in his wallet and $2 in his shirt pocket.

The other officer arrived and he had no money when he was searched, according to the report.

Police searched both officers’ patrol cars and no money was found in either car. They then searched Harris’ personal vehicle since he stopped there before entering the police precinct, according to the report.

Officers found the missing $10 bill, $5 bill and five $1 bills in the center console. Harris said the money had been there since Friday, according to the report.

He was relieved of his duty pending an investigation, according to the report.

MACON POLICE OFFICER ARRESTED ON DOMESTIC CHARGE
Macon Telegraph, GA
By Amy Leigh Womack - awomack@macon.com
Wednesday, Dec. 03, 2008

A Macon police officer is on five days administrative leave pending termination after being arrested Friday. Dennis Benjamin Wood, 31, of Gray, has been charged with misdemeanor cruelty to children, misdemeanor theft and family violence-related simple battery, according to Bibb County jail records.

The Medical Center of Central Georgia police responded to a medical office at 770 Pine St. in reference to a domestic problem on the afternoon of Nov. 25, according to a police report released Tuesday.

Wood’s wife said the two had argued after Wood allegedly took her cell phone and refused to return it. He also pushed her against a wall to keep her from getting the phone, according to the report. Responding officers said there was a red mark on Wood’s wife’s arm after the incident, but she refused medical attention.

Their child witnessed the argument, prompting the cruelty charge, according to the report. Wood was arrested Friday morning and was released on $4,700 bond later Friday, according to jail records.

Macon Police Chief Mike Burns said Wood was placed on administrative leave pending investigation after police became aware of the incident on Nov. 25, and he was placed on five days leave pending termination following his arrest.

During the five days, Wood has the option to appeal his case, Burns said. Wood was hired by the Macon Police Department on Jan. 29, 2007, and has worked as a patrol officer, Burns said.

Background check on authorities not always enough

While state and federal authorities are investigating allegations of misconduct involving Cochran police officers, six other Middle Georgia officers and deputies have found themselves arrested in the past year.

The charges range from theft to using a computer to entice a child for sex.

Police departments and sheriff’s offices say they routinely conduct thorough background checks on applicants before hiring new officers and deputies.

But sometimes that’s not enough.

Peach County Deputy Cornelius Flowers was a 19-year veteran who headed the Peach County Drug Enforcement Unit.

He had a clean record with no disciplinary actions against him before his Aug. 4 arrest on allegations he helped sell lawn tractors, said Sheriff Terry Deese.

Deese said the arrest came as a shock.

“He’s always been one of our best,” Deese said. “It just goes to show you that even good people make poor decisions.”

Another Peach deputy, 55-year-old Aubrey Touchton, of Fort Valley, was arrested on June 29 on five counts of possession of child pornography he allegedly downloaded from the Internet.

Touchton, who had been with the sheriff’s office for about two years, was assigned as a school resource officer at Fort Valley Middle School and filled in on courthouse security, Deese said.

Prior to becoming a deputy, Touchton was a planning and zoning officer for Crawford County and worked as a Warner Robins police officer early in his career.

Before hiring Bobby Rydale Cowart Jr. as a deputy on Sept. 22, 2008, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office performed a background check, according to his personnel file.

They found records of three traffic violations and that he had pleaded guilty to underage possession of alcohol in 2002, according to his personnel file.

His previous employers and references gave favorable comments.

But less than a year after his hiring, Cowart, 25, was arrested on allegations he stole a cell phone from the property room at the jail where inmates’ personal items are stored.

Cowart is one of two deputies employed by the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office in the past year who have been arrested and terminated.

Gregory Todd Bowden, 42, of Byron, faces federal charges after being arrested Feb. 11 on charges he used a computer to entice a child for sex.

Lt. Greg Rachel said investigators spend an average 40-hour week conducting an extensive background check before making a hire.

The process begins with a check of the applicant’s birth certificate and educational documents.

If the applicant was in the military, investigators also check to be sure the person received a honorable discharge, Rachel said.

Investigators then run a national criminal history check, state driving history check and talk with local law enforcement agencies, court records and the district attorney’s office to determine if the applicant has a criminal history, he said.

Dispatch logs are consulted to see if law enforcement has been called to the applicant’s home and there’s a check with the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council to see if the applicant has previously been employed with a police department or sheriff’s office, Rachel said.

Applicants then undergo a verification interview and a polygraph before investigators check with past employers and references, he said.

“We’re trying to get a broad view of the applicant,” Rachel said, adding investigators talk with supervisors, co-workers and personal references.

If the applicant lives within a day’s drive, the investigators then visit the applicant’s neighborhood to talk with neighbors.

“The more information you get, the better view you get of the person,” Rachel said.

Once the backgrounding process is complete, a report is compiled and sent to the chief deputies for review.

If the applicant still is considered, a psychological examination is performed, he said.

The process is very similar at the Macon Police Department, where two officers have been arrested in the past month.

Sgt. Scott Dubbert said prospective officers also undergo an assessment of scenarios like how they would handle a traffic stop or domestic violence incident.

In harsh economic times, Dubbert said a flood of applications have been filed, some by people whose backgrounds prevent them from becoming officers.

Human resources weeds out applicants who have serious criminal offenses in their pasts while the rest continue through the police selection process.

Having a history of drug use or a minor criminal offense doesn’t necessarily prevent a person from being considered for the job, Dubbert said.

“It depends on the person and what they’ve done in their life,” he said.

Macon police officer Dustin Lee Harris, of Gray, was arrested Aug. 3 on charges he stole money while searching a car.

Hired in March, 28-year-old Harris was terminated before he completed probation, according to the police department.

He admitted he was cited for a traffic violation on his job application, but otherwise his personnel file was clean.

Prior to being hired, 32-year-old Dennis Benjamin Wood, of Macon, admitted he was charged with carrying a gun onto school grounds in 1995, but the charges were dismissed, according to his personnel file.

In his two years of employment, Wood received five reprimands including a one-day suspension prior to his being arrested on Nov. 28 for misdemeanor cruelty to children, theft and family violence-related simple battery, according to his file.

Sgt. Melanie Hofmann said the charges against Wood were dismissed.

His personnel record shows he was reinstated on May 26 on probation, but with no back-dated benefits, and with the understanding that he completed an anger management class.

Hofmann said Wood resigned soon after his July 30 arrest for making harassing phone calls to his wife.

While most of the officers and deputies arrested in the past year lost their jobs, one was given a second chance.

Houston County deputy Patrick Andrew Walsh, 39, was charged with drunken driving by Warner Robins police on Feb. 20, according to police and court records provided by Sheriff Cullen Talton.

Walsh’s blood alcohol content was .177, according to court records. The legal limit to drive in Georgia is .08.

He pleaded guilty on June 11, according to court records.

Walsh initially transferred to the jail but since returned to patrol, Talton said.

“He was a good officer,” Talton said.

“He mad a mistake. ... I believe in giving anybody a second chance.”

Although it’s hard at times for small departments to fill vacancies because the salaries offered are generally lower than other agencies and policing is generally not a high-paying profession, Fort Valley Police Chief John David Anderson believes a position should never be filled just because the department needs a body.

Byron police Chief Wesley Cannon agreed.

He said he may receive 30 applications for an officer position, but interview only four because the others just don’t make the cut.

In Bibb County, Sheriff Jerry Modena said the pool of candidates applying for a job at his office also has been limited by the $25,688 starting salary.

He said job candidates are applying for higher paying jobs elsewhere and it’s harder to find people who don’t have an objectionable past.

“We’ve done everything possible within our reach to get the best of the best,” Modena said.

Macon Police Chief Mike Burns said law enforcement officers are held to a higher standard because they’re in positions of trust.

“They have to have integrity,” he said.

FBI Apprehends Bibb County Deputy

Updated: Thursday, 12 Feb 2009, 3:16 PM EST
Published : Thursday, 12 Feb 2009, 3:14 PM EST

ATLANTA - Bibb Sheriff Jerry Modena was told by the Atlanta office of the FBI Wednesday that Bibb County Deputy Gregory Todd Bowden had been taken into custody in connection with using a computer to entice a minor for sexual activity.

The FBI informed Sheriff Modena that Bowden – 42-years-old -- had engaged in a series of telephone and Internet conversations with what he believed was the mother of a girl under the age of ten, and that he had gone to Atlanta to engage in sexual activity with the mother and the child.

Bowden was arrested by agents when he arrived at a location where he believed he was meeting the mother and child.

The mother and child were fictional identities created by law enforcement officials to identify individuals engaged in illegal on-line sexual activities.

Bowden has been employed by the Sheriff’s Office since November 19, 2001. He was assigned to the Corrections Division for over three years and to the Communications Section for nearly six years.

He had recently transferred to patrol duty on January 3 of this year.

Prior to becoming a deputy, Bowden had worked at the Bibb D.A.’s Office from April of 1996 until he came to the Sheriff’s Office in November 2001.

Bowden has been suspended with pay pending a formal indictment, said Bibb County authorities.

Georgia clearly has problems and has for some time. Is it worse in Georgia or are the other states just not catching them?

I don't know what the situation in other states is, I'm sure they have just as many problems as Georgia. I do know that the state government of Georgia, and also the local government of Dekalb County is nothing more than an organized crime syndicate, very similar to the former government of Cook County Illinois and those jews in New Jersey who were selling human organs recently.

I briefly saw mention of another Georgia cop arrested on the evening news earlier (aside from the auto theft ring), but haven't been able to locate any info online about what the charges were.

Some of you don't seem to grasp the point of this thread. It's primarily devoted to cops' criminal acts during their on hours.

Cop Caught On Camera Beating Special Education Student Marshawn Pitts (WATCH)

A south suburban Chicago police officer was caught on a security camera beating up a high school special education student, CBS2 reports.

Marshawn Pitts, 15, was walking down his school hallway when he says a Dolton, Ill. police officer went from berating him for his untucked shirt to slamming him to the ground and beating him.

"The officer was in his face because he didn't have his shirt tucked in," Pitts' attorney told CBS 2's Davis Savini. "That's the officer put in that school to protect these kids, and instead of doing that, this officer is literally assaulting this kid."

Neither school nor Dolton officials responded to CBS 2 about the story.

Who Will Protect Our Children from the Police?
Posted by William Grigg on October 10, 2009 07:00 AM

The Dolton, Illinois police officer caught on camera assaulting a helpless, mentally handicapped 16-year-old student has been identified as 38-year-old Christopher Lloyd.

Unlike the veteran character actor who shares that name (best known for playing eccentric characters such as “Reverend” Jim Ignatowski on the TV series “Taxi,” Klingon commander Kruge in Star Trek III, and Doc Brown in the Back to the Future series), Officer Lloyd is a violent criminal who should never have been given access to school-age youngsters.

This morning’s Chicago Tribune reports that Lloyd was arrested last month on charges of raping a woman in Indiana. Court documents allege that Lloyd, who had previously threatened the woman with a knife, held a pillow over her face while sexually assaulting her.

In spite of being accused of assault rape, Lloyd was permitted to roam the halls of a school in the Chicago suburb while armed and clothed in both a state-issued costume and the supposed authority to inflict violence on those who didn’t render immediate and unconditional obedience to him.

SAN BERNARDINO, California — Police say a 19-year-old man has died in Southern California after officers used a Taser to subdue him at a board-and-care facility.

A San Bernardino police department statement says the man died at a hospital early Saturday.

The department says officers had been summoned to the facility to investigate a fight involving three people late Friday night.

Police say officers separated the trio but "one of the subjects became combative and a Taser was deployed to control him."

The man was having trouble breathing, and police called paramedics. He was pronounced dead at a hospital about an hour later.

The man's name and cause of death haven't been released.

PUEBLO, Colo.—Authorities say an "out of control" 10-year-old boy was shocked with a Taser and arrested by sheriff's deputies in Pueblo West.
Sheriff Kirk Taylor said Thursday that the two deputies involved acted appropriately.

Sheriff's officials say the boy was not hurt when deputies took action Monday after arriving at his home, where he was reportedly destroying property and threatening his foster father with a 2-foot-long pipe and a stick.

Sheriff's officials say a deputy used the Taser after the boy allegedly ignored commands to drop the pipe.

The boy was booked into Pueblo Youth Center on suspicion of menacing with a deadly weapon.

Taylor says his office doesn't plan to change its Taser policy, which discourages using a Taser on young children, except in "the most extreme situations."

Fouad Kaady was 27 on September 8, 2005 when a gas can in his vehicle exploded, burning him severely. He crashed his car, tore off his clothes, and staggered down the street dazed and confused. Burned flesh fell from his body as stunned witnesses called 911 to summon medical help.

Minutes later, a Sandy, Oregon police officer and a Clackamas County deputy shot Kaady seven times, though witnesses said he was unarmed, naked, badly burned, disoriented, and had not threatened the police officers or attempted to flee the area. The officers had turned back an ambulance that waited in vain to treat the man’s burns.

Neither officer was disciplined and both are still on patrol.

MEMPHIS, TN – The state of Tennessee is trying to strip the license of a security officer accused of rape. Thirty-one-year-old Geryl Hill is accused of raping a woman last week while on duty at a Kroger store, but he was already facing the loss of his license to work as a security officer.

He was charged with statutory rape in 2006, but pleaded guilty last year to a reduced charge. So the State Department of Commerce and Insurance, which oversees security officers, “authorized its legal staff to seek revocation of Mr. Hill’s license,” according to a statement from a Department spokesman. The statement notes that Hill “refused the voluntary revocation consent order of the department,” so a hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge was scheduled. A ruling is still pending.

The latest charges that Hill faces are rape and sexual battery by an authority figure. A 24-year-old told Memphis Police that Hill accused her of stealing from the Kroger where he worked, then asked for sexual favors.

"She's alleging that an incident occurred that was sexual in nature,” explained Major Loris Hopkins, of the Memphis Police Department.

Hill has already been suspended from his job with SecurityPoint Protection Services, the company that provided officers for several Kroger stores. Kroger spokesman Joe Bell said SecurityPoint handled security for 10 Kroger stores across Memphis. But that contract has been canceled.http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/news/local/story/State-License-in-Jeopardy-For-Security-Guard/-V9yATZ8oEObCc_6FXAB4Q.cspx

MEMPHIS, TN – The U.S. Attorney’s Office says three Memphis police officers are facing federal charges for Bribery and Extortion.

Authorities say the officers are charged with Conspiracy, Extortion and Bribery after taking money to protect a nightclub. They are also accused of letting the club know about upcoming raids.

Investigators won’t release the name of the club the three were working with, but say it is in the Ridgeway area.

All three are in federal custody on $10,000 bond.

The following is a news release issued by the United States Department of Justice:

Three Memphis Police Officers Charged in Federal Complaint on Charges

Officers Charged with Conspiracy, Bribery and Extortion

Memphis, TN- Timothy Green, 45, Christopher Crawford, 35, and Michael Young, 36, all being employed as officers of the Memphis Police Department have been charged in a Federal Complaint with Conspiracy to Commit Bribery and Extortion and also with Bribery, and Extortion announced Lawrence J. Laurenzi, United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, Perrye Turner, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Larry Godwin, Director of the Memphis Police Department, and Mark Luttrell, Sheriff of Shelby County.

The Complaint notes that Green, who was a Lieutenant with the Police Department, and Crawford and Young, who were both patrolmen, were working out of the Ridgeway Station. According to the Complaint, Green, Crawford and Young, on numerous occasions since September 2009, were working together to extort money and accept bribes from a local nightclub owners in exchange for information they would share about upcoming undercover law enforcement operations. The Complaint further alleges that each of the defendants were on duty and in uniform when they accepted many of the payments from the local nightclub owners. The three defendants, combined, allegedly received in excess of $12,000.

Violation of the Federal Conspiracy Statute carries a penalty of up to 5 years in prison. Violation of the Bribery Statute carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. Violation of the Extortion Statute carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A North Carolina police officer has resigned after prosecutors say he tried to get a robbery victim to pick out a predetermined suspect from a photo lineup.

The Charlotte Observer reported that Officer Brian Cloninger gave the robbery victim the photo of the man he thought committed the gunpoint holdup, then urged the victim to study the suspect's face until she could pick him out.

Prosecutors say Cloninger said he tried to get a bad guy off the streets.

Prosecutors reviewed pending cases in which Cloninger's testimony was crucial and dismissed two other felonies and about 70 misdemeanor charges and traffic offenses. They say they couldn't trust Cloninger.

The former officer's attorney says he's sorry and paid for his mistake with his job.http://www.wlos.com/template/inews_wire/wires.regional.nc/3adae1d5-www.wlos.com.shtml

Two Rutherford County deputies have been charged in the beating of a teenager last month.

Sgt. Steve Reynolds and Deputy Bill Short are each charged with assault inflicting serious injury. They resigned from the Sheriff's Office earlier today.

19 yr. old Robert Suttle accused the deputies of beating him at a party. Suttle claimed Sgt. Short beat him over the head with a metal flashlight and then tased him.

The State Bureau of Investigation handed over its case to the the district attorney, who then decided charges should be filed.

Short and Reynolds have a court appearance scheduled for April.http://www.wlos.com/shared/newsroom/top_stories/wlos_vid_1846.shtml

Prosecutors said Wednesday they won't be filing any criminal charges against four San Jose police officers over a videotaped beating of an unarmed college student.

Santa Clara County District Attorney Dolores Carr said Wednesday there's insufficient evidence to prosecute the officers.

The probe stemmed from the Sept. 3 arrest of a Vietnamese student at San Jose State University named Phuong Ho during a disturbance call.

A video recording captured by Ho's roommate shows officers striking Ho with a baton and shocking him with a Taser. An attorney for one of the officers has said Ho was being combative and noncompliant.

Last month, Carr's office dismissed resisting arrest and other charges against Ho.

The case has sparked outrage among residents questioning police tactics, especially when arresting minorities.

Sheriff's Lieutenant Charged with Sexual Battery Against Child (http://www.local15tv.com/news/local/story/Sheriffs-Lieutenant-Charged-with-Sexual-Battery/SMD1Wo1V20W2veLgB2Au6w.cspx)

http://www.local15tv.com/media/lib/47/2/4/0/2406473a-5425-4339-bd9d-77760af96022/Original.jpg

A Santa Rosa County, Florida, Sheriff's Office Lieutenant was charged Tuesday with 120 counts of sexual battery against a child.

Lt. John Mitchell Tomlinson, 46, of Navarre, is accused of inappropriate relations with a minor between the ages of 12 and 18, according to a news release by the Florid Department of Law Enforcement. The department's investigation of Tomlinson began March 3.

Tomlinson was booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail Tuesday. His bond was set at $845,000.

Santa Rosa County Sheriff Wendell Hall released a statement saying, “if these allegations are true I will be very disappointed in Lt. Tomlinson’s behavior. However, if he’s found guilty he should be punished like any other person that commits this type of crime.”

That's the thing that galls me to no end about the modern 'kwa, the idea that some fat beaner spic stinking of rancide manteca or boot-lipped nigger can strap on a badge and gun and lawfully challenge any White man as he goes about his daily affairs.

In days of yore a real White man would have pistol-slapped this impertinent Pedro into refried frijoles.

Sheriff's Lieutenant Charged with More Sex Crimes (http://www.local15tv.com/news/local/story/Sheriffs-Lieutenant-Charged-with-More-Sex-Crimes/7hNwzeT3L0W2qUkooYY7Ww.cspx)

A Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant, charged with 120 counts of sexual battery against a child, now faces five additional counts of sexual battery.

John Mitchell Tomlinson, 46, of Navarre, was charged Thursday with sexual battery on a child under 12, which is a capital felony. The original charges involved an alleged victim between the ages of 12 and 18.

Tomlinson's bond on the new charges was set at $500,000.

This week Tomlinson was transferred from the Santa Rosa County Jail to the Walton County Jail.

Mobile Police Officer Suspected of Sexual Contact with Juvenile (http://www.local15tv.com/news/local/story/Mobile-Police-Officer-Suspected-of-Sexual-Contact/3YudHbdnTUyOJeGFloqPOA.cspx)

http://wpmi.img.entriq.net/img/dp_thumbs/thumb_1268441508654_0p18773592579973541.jpg

A Mobile Police Officer under investigation for alleged inappropriate conduct with a minor has resigned, the Police Department said Friday in a news release.

Officer Marshall Freeman is suspected of having sexual contact with a 16-year old girl in late 2009. Freeman was placed on administrative leave March 3, after the launch of an administrative and criminal investigation. He resigned Thursday, as the department was preparing an administrative hearing on the matter.

Police Chief Tyrone Williams calls Freeman's alleged offense, "not only unethical but also egregious."

"This is the type of behavior that will never be tolerated in the Mobile Police Department, as Police Chief I will work tirelessly to repair the reputation this department and remove the cancers who plague it,” said Williams.

The investigation of Freeman is expected to continue and police say the results will be presented to the District Attorney's Office.

Freeman is a 20-year veteran of the Mobile Police Department. He was assigned to the Community Services Division.

This is why few but relatives have unmixed feelings when cops are killed.

After we seize power, we need to build public gallows and hang every one of the 2 million cops for treason. In addition we need to hunt down the million or so retired cops and do the same thing. The 1% or so of so called good cops will be glad to die for the sins of their fellow bad cops. Their sin was to associate with bad company.

Getting rid of 3 million vermin will go a long way toward eugenics. It will also be a good example for the new crop of police that replaces the the vermin.

BTW, plastic rope is too springy and does not break the neck cleanly like hemp rope. This will be a boon for hemp farmers.

U. of W. Alabama officer charged (http://www.weartv.com/template/inews_wire/wires.regional.al/2f9ca355-weartv.com.shtml)

A University of West Alabama police officer is under arrest, charged with misusing confidential law enforcement information.

Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center agents say 44-year-old William Dale Flowers turned himself in at the Sumter County Sheriff's Office Monday.

He's been released under a $20,000 bond.

Alabama Attorney General's Office presented evidence to a Sumter County grand jury which resulted in a nine-count indictment against Flowers.

The indictment charges that he willfully obtained or sought to obtain criminal offender record information by accessing the Law Enforcement Tactical System under false pretenses that it was for an official law enforcement or criminal justice purpose.

Court keeps defendants in ex-state trooper case (http://www.weartv.com/template/inews_wire/wires.regional.al/3f9ca061-weartv.com.shtml)

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- The Alabama Supreme Court has refused to remove supervisors with the Alabama Department of Public Safety as defendants in a suit filed by a woman who claims she was sexually abused by a former state trooper.

The supervisors had argued that they were immune because they were acting as agents of the state. The Supreme Court disagreed in a ruling Friday.

The trooper, Kerry Horton of Selma, was fired in 2008 after a woman complained that he sexually abused her following a traffic stop in Perry County. A grand jury indicted him in November on a charge of first-degree sexual abuse.

Feds Investigating Daphne Cop (http://www.local15tv.com/news/local/story/Feds-Investigating-Daphne-Cop/dHM52CLsikyTewgPMAyxiQ.cspx)

As a member of the Baldwin County Drug Task Force, Daphne Officer Jesse Villa formed relationships with drug informants. Now he's accused of taking at least one of those relationships too far.

Villa was part of an important team, responsible for taking drugs off the streets. Last month, the Baldwin County Sheriff showcased a table full of drugs, everything from crack to powder cocaine to pills, the Baldwin County Task Force confiscated and announced the arrest of 18 alleged drug dealers.

But not long after that, Villa became the focus of an investigation. It started with a complaint to the FBI.

"There's been an allegation that he made illegal contact with a female informant," says Baldwin County Sheriff's Spokesman Anthony Lowery.

When Reporter Mike Rush asked, "Is it fair to say that he was having a relationship with this person?", Lowery answered, "Well, at this point I'm going to say that it was inappropriate contact."

Lowery stresses it's early in the investigation and at this point the accusation remains just that.

Regardless, Villa, voted last year's task force investigator of the year, isn't waiting for the results. He resigned his post.

"Very good investigator," says Lowery of Villa's service. "Very good narcotics investigator. He's put a lot of people in jail for drug offenses."

Lowery says the sheriff's office is asking the Alabama Bureau of Investigation to take a look at the case, to see if any criminal action was involved.

Sacramento deputy gets 18 years for having sex with 13-year-old (http://www.modbee.com/2010/03/22/1097764/sacto-9-1-1-sacramento-deputy.html#ixzz0ivtUVPJS)

http://media.modbee.com/smedia/2010/03/04/20/645-5M5CEPHUS.standalone.prod_affiliate.11.JPG

[Boy he sure does look all big and bad for a kiddy f*cker doesn't he?]

The on-call Sacramento County sheriff's deputy accused of picking up a 13-year-old girl he met on duty and having sex with her in a Lincoln hotel has pleaded guilty.

With the plea, Eric Cephus, who could have been sentenced to life in prison, will serve 18 years in state prison and will be required to register as a sex offender.

"I want to say I'm sorry," Cephus said. "I've destroyed my life."

[Selfish bastard. How about the life of the 13 year-old girl?]

Lincoln police arrested Cephus, 39, on March 2 at his San Jose home. He was arraigned two days later on one felony count each of lewd acts with a child under the age of 14 and transporting a person for a sex act.

Cephus was working a contract shift for a north Sacramento County parks district -- meaning he was in uniform and driving a marked patrol car, but his work was paid for by the parks district -- the night of Feb. 26 when he allegedly met his victim.

After his shift ended, Cephus and the girl allegedly drove to a Lincoln hotel and had sex. Police have not said if the sex was forced or if Cephus paid the victim.

Cephus is no longer employed by the sheriff's department, authorities said.

Police have not said if the sex was forced or if Cephus paid the victim.Under the law it's forced rape even if she was willing.
The girl is 13, she's under the age of consent.

Cephus is no longer employed by the sheriff's department, authorities said.

No, he's been promoted to a state job, with the Dept. of Corrections.

Under the law it's forced rape even if she was willing.
The girl is 13, she's under the age of consent.

I called the writer of this article to call him on his use of the term 'alleged' when he stated:

"the night of Feb. 26 when he allegedly met his victim."

I told him that since the child rapist confessed to the crime and has been convicted and sentenced that it's no longer an allegation. He gave me some sob story about how this was dictated earlier this morning and the person on the other end used a previous article which contained the term alleged.

I commented on how it appeared that he was trying to diminish the actions of this non-white child rapist and that this appears to be a pattern when non-whites are the perpetrators of violent crime.

He repeated his story about having dictated it earlier in the day and someone used a previous article at which time I suggested he make the necessary corrections. I told him that the cop had to pick her up somewhere and that in no way could that act be alleged at this point.

He also told me there was no 'conspiracy' in the writing of articles relating to non-whites and a bias toward diminishing their violent behavior. :rolleyes: Clearly this particular writer went out of his way to offer every reasonable doubt for the child rapist cop and almost condones the rape of a 13 year-old girl.

Police officers and the "Authoritarian Personality" disorder


The AUTHORITARIAN PERSONALITY is characterized by the following thoughts, actions and personality traits:

• 1) wishes to make his victim feel ridiculous and small.

• 2) in extreme cases, to abuse the victim in such a way to destroy his self respect, break his will, and or make him give in.

• 3) has ideation and fantasies involving "total control" over another human being...this need for control becomes a passion and is experienced as intoxicating power transforming "impotence into omnipotence.'

• 4) respects power and the powerful above all and despises weakness and helplessness and emotional release and emotional expression.

• 5) builds and orchestrates and creates scenarios and dramas where one tyrannizes those beneath him and also, is submissive to the powerful people above him in an unconscious wish to "fuse with power."

• 6) chooses his victims from those who are subordinate to him, comparatively powerless and those he can control...thus this personality finds himself in organized fraternal violent society's of men who supply the groupthink "OK" to do acts of violence and hostility.

• 7) has an interest in control or discipline of others because it reinforces his sense of authority, strength, and will...this willingness to make others bend can easily become an interest and conditioned behavior mutating into sadism.

• 8) weakness excites the sadistic temperament and results in a satisfaction in another's suffering and is different than an assault on one capable of defending oneself.

• 9) the attitude of sadism emerges with a contemptuous attitude of the superior toward the inferior.

• 10) these individuals are constantly "taking their own measure" and live with a "self important" consciousness of their superior achievements, education, rank, authority, and membership in an elite fraternal organization of dangerously violent men with access to secret files and wiretapping equipment used to penetrate the privacy of targets.

• 11) this consciousness concerned with one's quality includes the comparision to others rank and recognition of superiors and inferiors.

• 12) have thoughts with exorbitnt respect for superiors and an implicit corresponding disdain for inferiors.

• 13) has dogmatic, conservative, proper standards and opinions that draw heavily upon conformity and respect for authority.

• 14) believe that discipline, obedience, coercion, and cruelty are "necessary and valuable" in the relationship between "us and them" and "superior and inferior."

• 15) believe that "discipline", "obedience", "coercion", "manipulation", and "cruelty" is necessary for "proper training" and "the maintenece of order and proper standards" and "the development of character" and 'the fulfilllment of responsibilities."

• 16) belief that sadism is justified by pedagogical, moral, disciplinary, or corrective purposes and that sadism teaches the inferior respect for authority and right values and standards.

• 17) when his uncertain sense of personal authority is threatened by rebellion or protest, this personality becomes defensive, angry, punitive, and arrogant to inferiors.

• 18) weak people (women, artists, effeminate men) embody what this personality is ashamed of creating a defensive repudiation filled with hate, disrespect, disgust, outrage and punishment.

• 19) wants to punish weakness with discipline to shame inferiority and make it aware of itself by humiliation and degradation.

• 20) civilians are seen as weak, undisciplined, unmanly, independent, nonconformists, and worthless to a team spirit.

Judge who keyed neighbor's SUV pleads guilty

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A former criminal district judge accused of keying his neighbor's vehicle pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge.

Judge Woody Densen pleaded guilty to a Class A misdemeanor of criminal mischief on Thursday. He was fined $1,500 and must pay restitution to the neighbor for the damage to his vehicle, and must pay the insurance company. Last June, Judge Densen was indicted on a felony criminal mischief charge after his neighbor claimed the judge deliberately scratched the back of his SUV. He caught the whole thing on surveillance video (http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/video?id=6866291), showing Densen walking then pausing behind his neighbor's car, not once, but twice in May. Judge Densen used to be a visiting judge in Harris County and is now retired.http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=7375103

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A former federal agent accused of planting drug evidence on suspects has made an initial appearance in federal court in Tulsa on drug and money laundering charges.
Federal prosecutors say 33-year-old Brandon Jay McFadden of Lubbock, Texas, was named Wednesday in a sealed indictment on charges of conspiracy, money laundering and other drug charges. McFadden was an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The indictment was unsealed Friday when McFadden made an initial appearance and entered a not guilty plea. His attorney could not be reached for comment Friday.
Prosecutors allege that from 2007 to 2008, McFadden conspired with others to sell drugs, plant drug evidence and steal drugs and money from suspects.

YouTube- ABC reports on NYPD officer attacking Critical Mass rider

NYPD cop to be tried for pushing Critical Mass cyclist


By LAURA ITALIANO

A disgraced rookie cop -- the son of a highly respected New York City detective -- goes on trial tomorrow on charges he violently shoved a cyclist during a 2008 Critical Mass rally, then covered his misdeed by bringing bogus charges against his victim.
A civilian video of then-Officer Patrick Pogan striding toward a surging stream of bikes near Times Square -- and pushing one cyclist to the ground as the rider tries to swerve away -- became a YouTube hit, and will likely be a prime piece of prosecution evidence.
But Pogan plans to insist -- in opening statements slated for Monday -- that he did nothing wrong, said his lawyer, Stuart London.
The cop -- with just 11 days on the job -- was following his superiors' directions as best he could, given the tension of the situation and his inexperience, London said yesterday.The video fails to tell the entire story, the lawyer insisted.
"Sometimes, good police work can look ugly," London said.
And ultimately, Pogan never laid a hand on the paperwork charging the cyclist, Chris Long, of Bloomfield, NJ, the lawyer argued. That, he said, was hastily drafted by a superior officer, Sgt. Eric Perez, he said.
Whoever wrote it, the now dismissed criminal complaint -- which accused Long, an Army vet, of resisting arrest and attempted assault -- was based on Pogan's sworn statements, prosecutors have countered.
The video shows an apparently unprovoked body-check, during which Pogan never lost his own balance, giving the lie to Pogan's assertions that the cyclist "drove" his bicycle "directly into [Pogan's] body, causing [Pogan] to fall to the ground."
Pogan resigned from the NYPD soon after he was indicted. The top charge against him is for allegedly filing a false criminal complaint -- a felony carrying anywhere from probation to four years. He is also charged with a misdemeanor assault against Long.
Long's charges were dismissed in 2008

This video helps me understand a lil more the publics reaction and hatred toward cops. They not only took an innocent person to jail and make false claims against her, they violently abuse her (something she will never get over). Then they lie about her being suicidal as if it is some kind of excuse to sexually abuse a female citizen of america.

Cops are out of control and many probably on drugs themselves.

This is about two years old, but WTH.

KENT, Wash. -- A federal air marshal accused of raping a woman at a SeaTac hotel pleaded not guilty Wednesday.

Lecheton O. Settles, 30, has been charged with one count of first-degree rape.

Investigators say Settles was in Seattle on official business April 17 when he made a call to an escort service.

Settles had the woman meet him on his fifth-floor room at the Marriott Hotel. For $180, the young woman was to perform a "show" that apparently would consist of a back massage and dancing in lingerie, investigators said.

But Settles had other plans, according to court documents.

When the victim stepped out of the bathroom, Settles was completely nude, except for a police badge around his neck and his government-issued gun in his hand, the documents said.

Settles allegedly told the woman, "U.S. marshal. You have to do what I tell you to do."

The victim told investigators she started to cry, asking, "What did I do wrong?"

The man raped the woman on the bed, then asked for his money back, according to the documents.

"He certainly did use his position of authority - the fact that he was an air marshal, the badge around his neck, the gun - to affect this crime that he allegedly committed," said Sgt. John Urquhart.

The woman left the room and a friend called police, who arrested Settles at the hotel.

Detectives said Settles initially denied having sexual contact with the 24-year old woman.

But he soon recanted, the documents said, after learning the woman had accurately described to investigators his hairless body.

"He claimed that he didn't do what she said he did. Our detectives said, 'Well, she says you don't have any body hair- true or false?' And that's pretty much when he figured out the jig was up," said Urquhart.

The federal air marshal service, a branch of the Transportation Security Administration., said it is investigating the allegations.

Settles is being held at the Regional Justice Center in Kent on $250,000 bail. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/92337039.html

I love how the defense attorney will stick a pair of glasses on a nigger in a vain attempt to make it appear not-nigger, ie, intelligent, thoughtful, and "wise."

DETROIT -- A photo of a Detroit Police officer is getting the department a lot of negative attention.

An internet posting shows what appears to be a uniformed officer sleeping on the job.

The photo surfaced on an urban website and the caption read, “This is how they gets down in the D.”

It’s unclear when the photo was taken, but the police department has launched an investigation to sort it all out.

“We learned of the picture over the weekend and immediately began investigating,” said Detroit police spokesperson John Roach.

Police administration told Local 4 the officer works at the 8th Precinct in Northwest Detroit.

Investigators said he works as a patrol officer at the 8th Precinct. They expect to discus the photo with the officer following union protocol.

“He has rights like anybody else does,” said Roach. “He has the right to have some union representation with him.”

Some Detroiters are upset over the photo. “I think it’s kind of messed up,” said Detroit resident Paris Rankin. “If he’s sleeping like that in public, we don’t need him out there.”

Others have mixed feelings about what they saw. “He could be sick,” said Patricia Carpenter of Detroit. “I wouldn’t rush to pass judgment on him.”

The officer’s colleagues describe him to Local 4 as a good employee who often works double shifts.

Investigators could release more information later this week. http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/23286234/detail.html

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Teams of FBI and SLED agents arrested Lee County Sheriff Edgar Jerome Melvin and six others early Saturday morning on federal drug conspiracy charges.

Acting U.S. Attorney Kevin F. McDonald, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI David Thomas, and SLED Director Reggie Lloyd said federal and state agents arrested Sheriff "E.J." Melvin, 47, Brenda LaShawn Ellerby, 26, Antonio Holloman, 23, Larry Williams, 51, Eric Andre Hickman, 34, Anthony Lee Williams, 37, and Sheldon Maurice Bradley, 24, all of Bishopville.

Melvin and the others arrested Saturday are charged with conspiracy since 2006 to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine and 50 grams or more of crack cocaine in South Carolina.

Melvin has served as the Sheriff for Lee County, South Carolina, since 2001.

None of the other people arrested are affiliated with the sheriff's department, according to McDonald.

The federal arrest warrants were issued earlier this week under seal, and will remain sealed until the defendants make an initial appearance in federal court in Columbia on Monday. Because the matter is sealed, officials said no further information concerning the case will be made available until the seal is lifted in

The maximum penalty each defendant could receive is life imprisonment and a fine of $4 million dollars. Federal statutes also call for mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment for at least ten years.

Meservey was intoxicated and sitting in his Corvette in the parking lot of Chuckwagon Inn last June when witnesses, worried Meservey would drive away, called police.
Meade was one of several officers who responded and boxed in Meservey's car with their patrol cars.
Meade said Meservey, 51, refused to get out of his Corvette after he had hit him with a Taser.

Raft guide arrested after helping stranded rafter on Clear Creek
By Jason Blevins
The Denver Post

06/11/2010

Clear Creek sheriff's deputies on Thursday arrested a rafting guide for swimming to a stranded young rafter who had tumbled from his boat on Clear Creek.

Ryan Daniel Snodgrass, a 28-year-old guide with Arkansas Valley Adventures rafting company, was charged with "obstructing government operations," said Clear Creek Sheriff Don Krueger.

"He was told not to go in the water, and he jumped in and swam over to the victim and jeopardized the rescue operation," said Krueger, noting that his office was deciding whether to file similar charges against another guide who was at the scene just downstream of Kermitts Roadhouse on U.S. 6.

Duke Bradford, owner of Arkansas Valley Adventures, said Snodgrass did the right thing by contacting the 13-year-old Texas girl immediately and not waiting for the county's search and rescue team to assemble ropes, rafts and rescuers.

"When you have someone in sight who has taken a long swim, you need to make contact immediately," said Bradford, a 15-year rafting guide and ski patroller from Summit County. "This is just silly. Ryan Snodgrass acted entirely appropriately. These guys came to the scene late and there was a rescue in progress. They came in and took over an existing rescue. To leave a patient on the side of a river while you get your gear out of the car and set up a rescue system you read about in a book is simply not good policy."

Snodgrass' raft flipped on the runoff-swelled Clear Creek around noon Thursday and the girl swam from the raft. Krueger said the girl was missing for 30 to 45 minutes while Snodgrass searched for her. He said she swam a half mile from the spot where the raft capsized.

Since it had been so long, Krueger said, it was no longer the rafting company's rescue.

"They should involve themselves up to a point. They lost contact. Whether they want to say they were trying to rescue their customer, when they had lost visual contact and had no idea where their customer has been for 30 to 45 minutes, then it becomes our issue."

Bradford said he would expect his guides to do the same thing again. His guides are professionals, he said, trained and certified in swiftwater rescue.

"To jump into water and navigate a river in a swiftwater rescue is common. You get into the river and swim. You have to do it," Branford said. "The fact these guys don't understand that is disturbing. Making contact immediately with your victim is essential. It's not about who is in charge. It's about the safety of a 13-year-old girl. You are going to do everything in your power to insure the safety of your guest, and if that means in Idaho Springs you get arrested, well I guess we'll just get arrested."

Translation of Sheriff Krueger's statement: "He was told not to rescue the girl, and he jumped in and rescued the girl, making obvious what spineless, incompetent trash that we in the sheriff's department are. Also, I'm too stupid to realize that pulling this stunt of treating the rescuer as a criminal makes even clearer what a dumbass I am."

The call came in at around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday night, which was when police rushed to the scene at Abrams Road and Gaston Avenue and found three officers at the scene.
Police said the incident happened after Kelly Beemer, an off-duty officer who police said had a few drinks, had gotten into a squad car of an on-duty police officer. Beemer allegedly pulled out her service weapon from her holster and fired the gun into the floorboard. Sources said she was belligerent at the time. Part of the incident was captured on audio tape from a dash cam camera.
"You need to stop this [expletive] now," Beemer can be heard saying on the tape before a gun fires.
"Oh [expletive], Kelly please drop the gun," an officer in the car said. "Kelly, drop the gun."
Prior to the incident, video from the dash cam showed two officers holding a stumbling Beemer up by her arms as they walked her towards the squad car. Throughout the drive, authorities said Beemer cried and acted belligerent, believing she was under arrest.
Sources said the on-duty officer driving the squad car was originally called to the bar where Beemer and other officers had been drinking. Prior to being picked up, Beemer was allegedly offered rides from other officers at the bar, and at one point ran and hid from officers, sources said.
Commanders were called to the scene, but did not arrest Beemer at the time, saying she was too drunk to be interviewed. It wasn't until they viewed the tape that they decided to arrest and charge Beemer.
"We are disappointed in her behavior there," said First Asst. Chief Charles Cato, Dallas Police Department. "I know I receive calls from friends, relatives who had a little too much to drink and needed a ride home, and all the people I've dealt with in that situation were just grateful that someone was willing to come out and pick them up. And so, in Officer Beemer's conduct, that was certainly a discredit to herself and to the people that were trying to help her. She put them in a really bad situation."
No officers were injured in the incident.
Beemer was arrested Thursday and charged with firing a weapon inside the city limits. If convicted, Beemer will lose her peace officer's license. Meanwhile, she has been stripped of her weapon and badge until the investigation is complete. Two other officers are on restrictive duty as police investigate their role in the incident.

It is good to hear good pigs acting in a god pig fashion... In a way then, we know that this behavior of jews is far reaching. Evidently the cop, at the moments when life is at hand got all excited and wanted to make a big spectacle.
The cop wants not to be bothered by the lonely ingrate civilians mulling about and has made the situation into whos dick is bigger. wanted to get all the logistical and operations center all up and running when all the BItch Badge Fag had to do was jump in and save the individual. Many police units are filled with them... It is kind of like were I work. The lonley selfish cop wannabe believes that any and all cop training is good. The idea that laws and cops are for everyone and not for the free range niggers and wet backs because, in their words "Blacks are not bad people I know a black person..." is all the argument leads too. When good dumbed down people make good dumbed down decisions this is exactly what happens. NOTHING.
I have not been able though to find what happened about that Lake Worth FL. Jew who slammed into the 21 year old college grad and tried to flee the scene... it is this behavior why we need cops... Im sorry, Badge Fags...

A veteran NYPD detective was arrested in Albany for stalking an 11-year-old girl on her way to school and asking her three times if she wanted to make money, police said.

Detective Deodhram Singh, 38, followed the young girl Tuesday in his pickup truck, causing her to grow more frightened eachtime he pulled alongside her and barked out sleazy questions, authorities said.

A gun, a badge, a free car/gas and a low salary.........

I can't imagine they are having a hard time finding good people.

That reads like a want ad for criminals.

NH State Police “Drug” Dog Attacks Innocent 13-Year Old
July 11, 2010 by Bradley Jardis
Filed under: News, Question
http://freekeene.com/2010/07/11/nh-state-police-drug-dog-attacks-innocent-13-year-old/

Ahhh the use of dogs in forever failed government “War on Drugs.” It seems that in Concord, NH a state police K9 got loose from it’s handler, ran across the street, viciously attacked another dog, and then viciously attacked the 13-year old girl/owner who was trying to protect her dog from being attacked:

“The girl, attempting to protect her dog, was bitten several times on her left arm and hand. (A NH State Police official) said the incident is under investigation by the department and that State Police have been in touch with the victim’s family.”

Clearly the state police will conduct a full, fair, and evenhanded investigation of themselves. Had this dog attack had been completely reversed in sequence and involved a dog charging the state trooper… I think we’d probably have another dead dog.

An interesting comment by a Union Leader reader:

The only question here is obvious….Why was the officer not in control of the dog?….I guessing that the drug dog broke free of the officers grip on the leash…but that doesn’t relieve the officer of responsibility…
- unwind, NH

Yes, that indeed is correct. The law on this type of thing reads:

466:31 Dogs a Menace, a Nuisance or Vicious

II. Under this section, a dog is considered to be a nuisance, a menace, or vicious to persons or to property under any or all but not limited to the following conditions:

(e) If it growls, snaps at, runs after, or chases any person or persons not on the premises of the owner or keeper;

(g) If, whether alone or in a pack with other dogs, it bites, attacks, or preys on game animals, domestic animals, fowl or human beings.

Since this clearly is a violation of this law… the state trooper will be facing charges, right? Isn’t that only fair considering if it were you or I who lost control of our respective dog and it did what the trooper’s dog did, we’d be facing charges?

With all the “authority” granted to a public official such as this, shouldn’t they be held to a higher standard?

This Dog needs to be put down TODAY not after a hearing or investigation . This dog is not controllable and has to be removed from the dept imeadiatly and the officer in charge of the dog should be removed from the K-9 unit he is obviuosly not able to handle this type of work.maybe there is another type of work the dept can use him for .If it had been a citizens dog who attacked the cop and his dog then they would insist that it that it be put down abd charges be brought against the owner . The law has to apply to EVERYONE if it does not then it means nothing at all and the people of this town need to take the law into their own hands until such a time that the law will be applied equaly between LEO’s and the public.

I completely agree with the above statement. Sadly, it is not how it works.

“Public servants” generally are above the law. They are held to a different standard in that many of the laws that apply to the lowly “citizen” do not apply to them.

No way in hell will this trooper face charges.

Bob on Sun, 11th Jul 2010 1:20 pm

HMMMM………I wonder what would have happened if someone had shot the dog then and there? Just like the police have been doing lately. Without a doubt charges would have been brought against that person just trying to protect an innocent girl.
4.
Bradley Jardis on Sun, 11th Jul 2010 1:27 pm

That’s a good question Bob. There would be two conflicting statues at play:

644:8-d Maiming or Causing the Death of or Willful Interference With Police Dogs or Horses. –
I. Whoever willfully tortures, beats, kicks, strikes, mutilates, injures, disables, or otherwise mistreats, or whoever willfully causes the death of a dog or horse owned or employed by or on behalf of a law enforcement agency and whoever knows that such dog or horse is owned or employed by or on behalf of a law enforcement agency shall be guilty of a class B felony.
II. Whoever willfully interferes or attempts to interfere with the lawful performance of a dog or horse owned or employed by or on behalf of a law enforcement agency and whoever knows that such dog or horse is owned or employed by or on behalf of a law enforcement agency shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

And

466:28 Killing Dogs Legalized. – Any person may kill a dog that suddenly assaults the person while such person is peaceably walking or riding without the enclosure of its owner or keeper; and any person may kill a dog that is found out of the enclosure or immediate care of its owner or keeper worrying, wounding, or killing sheep, lambs, fowl, or other domestic animals.

In my semi-expert opinion, no charges would be filed if a police dog was killed in this particular set of circumstances.

At least in some states, police dogs are sworn and considered “officers.” This allows for extremely harsh penalties to anyone defending themselves against one.

A dog sworn to uphold the Constitution’eh? Raise your paw and repeat after me….

Not surprising. The dog’s understanding and knowledge of the Constitution would probably be on par with the person on the other end of the leash.

kevin on Sun, 11th Jul 2010 2:44 pm

Wishful thinking, I know, but I would expect/hope/pray that the officer be held to the same (not higher) standard as the rest of us. Though the loss of control wasn’t willful or malicious, it certainly was negligent.
10.
Bradley Jardis on Sun, 11th Jul 2010 2:50 pm

Though the loss of control wasn’t willful or malicious, it certainly was negligent.

Kevin,

This statue I referenced regarding dogs is a violation level offense… not a crime. As it is only a violation it does not require a “mens rea” or criminal intent.

Like someone who is speeding… the simple fact that the law was broken is sufficient to convict someone of violating it. “Crimes” (more than a civil infraction) require the state prove a “mens rea” …

The four different criminal intents are: purposely, knowingly, recklessly, and negligently.

Some “offenses” (not crimes) require the state to prove a “mens rea.” This is a requirement added by the legislature into the statutory language of the law. A good example is the statue prohibiting someone to allow an improper person to operate a vehicle. The law only being a “violation” does not require the state to prove intent… but the legislature added this into the language of the statue.

Do I make sense?
11.
kevin on Sun, 11th Jul 2010 3:06 pm

Thanks Brad. That does make sense and my argument above is moot.
12.
Bradley Jardis on Sun, 11th Jul 2010 3:07 pm

I don’t think it is moot at all, sir.

I think it enhances the argument that the trooper should face charges.
13.
Bradley Jardis on Sun, 11th Jul 2010 3:10 pm

263:1-a Allowing an Improper Person. – No person shall >>knowingly<< permit a motor vehicle owned or controlled by him to be driven by a person who is not properly licensed or otherwise entitled to drive. Any person who violates this section shall be guilty of a violation, and if the license or driving privilege of the person allowed to drive is under suspension or revocation, the owner or person in control of the vehicle, notwithstanding title LXII, shall be fined not less than $100.

^^— this is the example I spoke of.

Also, it is worth mentioning that there are a select few crimes that do not require a "mens rea." A good example would be driving under the influence of liquor/drugs.

You don't need to do it with any state of mind…… you just need to do it.

bil on Sun, 11th Jul 2010 3:47 pm

Somehow my earlier post didn’t show up.Oh,well.
I think this is a case of police being given weapons they are not able to operate or control.In severity,I would not compare it to the Oakland case.But there are similarities.If this officer had used his tazer on the girl and her dog without ncause,there would be a major outcry.Rightfully so.If the officer had drawn his pistol and begun firing wildly hitting the girl and her dog,the same.Both cases of wanton disregard for the safety of others.Yet by letting the dog out of the car withoutn proper control can be compared to there actions.He drew his weapon-the dog- and used it without control.What should happen and what will happen are two differant things.The usual outcome: The police protect their own,the police union makes sure the cop gets paid during any suspention,the dog will be sent for ‘re-training’,and the girls family will spend time and money in court.The taxpayers will cover defense costs,and if the girl wins a judgement,taxpayers pay again through the states insurance company.The officer will be reprimanded,and continue on the job,and the girl will spend years wondering what is going to happen whenever she sees a cop car pass,or hears a sudden barking dog.
In many states and municipalities,any action against a police dog is considered assault on an officer.Even if the dog is chewing on your leg and you kick him,you have just kicked a police officer.The definition has been stretched.To stretch it into this instance-if you attack a police dog/officer,it is a crime.What is it if an officer/dog attacks an innocent child,unprovoked?How can you have something be a dog in one instance,and the same thing be a police officer in another? Either it is or it isn’t.Hopefully the girl and her dog weren’t badly hurt,she is a brave girl to protect her dog against a (poorly) trained police dog. —bil

You raise a great point, Bil. Are K-9s working for police “officers” or “weapons?” Can’t be both.

Sunde on Tue, 13th Jul 2010 3:57 pm

Every year I attend the Tow Association’s Tow Show in Hampton on the beach. State Police K-9 units come out from both Massachusetts and New Hampshire State Police. I always watch the demonstration with the dogs as I have trained my German Shepherd in Shutzhund which is pretty much the same format. Every year I tell my boyfriend that the dogs are too untrained to be doing work already. The dogs I’ve worked next to in Shutzhund have better control and discipline than these officers have. I don’t think they are working the obedience hard enough, and working the bite work too much. Dogs who do not have there handlers orders in mind 100% of the time are not ready to do the work. At the Tow Show in 2009 the NH Officers dog who was 9 months old during, bite work demo,had bit his own handler. His dog still needed a lot of training. I don’t think the dog needs to be put down, he needs more training. The officer doesn’t need charges brought up on him its his partner not his pet, think of the dog as his rookie. The rookie needs to be suspended and retrained. This is not a simple dog/human incident.

It is a dog, not a person. At the least, the department should make full restitution for all damages. Whether it should be the department paying or the individual cop is up to them.

Arrest warrant issued for unlicensed process server

By JEFF GERMAN
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Joe Bonaventure signed a warrant this morning for the arrest of former police officer Maurice Carroll, an unlicensed process server, on 35 felony charges stemming from a scheme to submit false affidavits in court.

Bonaventure set bail at $105,000, as intelligence detectives looked to take Carroll into custody.

Carroll, 41, who records show was fired from the Las Vegas police department in 2000 after 10 years on the job, is facing 17 counts of perjury, 17 counts of offering false instruments for filing or record and one count of obtaining money under false pretenses.

All of the alleged illegal conduct took place on two days, May 13 and June 13, according to the 12-page criminal complaint.

Detectives are investigating allegations that Carroll's process serving company, On Scene Mediations, submitted false affidavits in justice courts around the valley, potentially disrupting the lives and finances of thousands of civil case defendants.

On Scene Mediations is alleged to have filed affidavits swearing that it served defendants with copies of lawsuits, but in many cases the lawsuits were not served, police said. That resulted in judgments of default against some defendants because they failed to respond to the lawsuits in a timely manner.

The company's clients include widely known payday loan and debt collecting firms.

Court officials said they don't know the scope of the problems On Scene Mediations created for Southern Nevada's courts, but police estimated thousands of cases could be affected. Records show that Carroll's company, which was run out of his North Las Vegas home, was doing about $50,000 in business a month, police said.

Most of the cases involving the alleged fraudulent affidavits are in Las Vegas Justice Court, but detectives also have found cases in the North Las Vegas and Henderson justice courts, police said.

Las Vegas Justices of the Peace Melissa Saragosa and Diana Sullivan, who dealt primarily with civil cases, uncovered the alleged scam.

I rise in support of this Negress. The scum sucking cops will do the same thing just as quick to a White grandmother. It is a tragedy that the grandmother didn't kill every one of the cops. After the seizure of power, all of the country's cops will be dangling from lampposts.

Family of woman killed in botched drug raid to receive $4.9 million
By the CNN Wire Staff
August 16, 2010 6:19 p.m. EDT

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- The city of Atlanta will pay $4.9 million to the family of Kathryn Johnston, a 92-year-old woman killed in a botched November 2006 drug raid, Mayor Kasim Reed's office announced Monday.T.J.B.

Johnston was shot to death by narcotics officers conducting a "no-knock" warrant. Investigators later determined the raid was based on falsified paperwork stating that illegal drugs were present in the home.

The incident prompted a major overhaul of the Atlanta police drug unit, and three former police officers were sentenced to prison terms for a cover-up that ensued.
Johnston's family will receive $2.9 million sometime in fiscal 2011, the city said, with the remaining $2 million to be paid in fiscal 2012, on or before August 15, 2011.

The payment represents the settlement of a lawsuit filed against the city by Sarah Dozier, Johnston's niece, Reed's office said in a statement. Initially filed in state court, the suit was moved to federal court, where a judge ordered the parties to mediation.

As the search warrant was being executed November 21, 2006, at Johnston's home, she fired at officers with an old pistol, apparently believing her home was being broken into. Six officers returned fire. Johnston's one shot went through her front door and over the officers' heads. They responded with 39 shots, hitting the elderly woman five times.

"The resolution of this case is an important step in the healing process for the city and its residents," Reed said in the statement. "As a result of the incident, several police officers were indicted in federal and state court on charges and were later convicted and sentenced for their actions. In addition, the narcotics unit of the Atlanta Police Department was completely reorganized, which included changes in policy and personnel."

Last year, former officer Jason Smith was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, while former officers Greg Junnier and Arthur Tesler were sentenced to six and five years, respectively.

All three men pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to violate civil rights resulting in death. Smith and Junnier also pleaded guilty to state charges of voluntary manslaughter and making false statements, and Smith admitted to planting bags of marijuana in Johnston's home after her death.

U.S. District Judge Julie Carnes ordered the three to split Johnston's funeral costs of $8,180, and to serve three years of supervised release after they complete their prison terms.
"I pray daily for Ms. Johnston," Smith said at the sentencing hearing, according to CNN affiliate WXIA-TV. "I also pray other officers in Atlanta will have the moral fortitude I didn't have."

Tesler was convicted on one state count of making false statements after filling out an affidavit saying that an informant had purchased crack cocaine at Johnston's home, in a crime-plagued neighborhood near downtown Atlanta.

The informant, however, denied ever having been to Johnston's home, leading to probes by federal and state authorities as well as the breakup and reorganization of the narcotics unit.
Tesler's state conviction was reversed on appeal. According to their plea agreements, Junnier and Smith will serve their state sentences concurrently with the federal sentence.

Shortly after the probe began, Junnier began cooperating with authorities, providing "valuable assistance in the investigation and prosecution of Smith and Tesler," according to a statement issued last year by federal prosecutors. Smith also cooperated to a lesser extent, and both men's sentences were reduced in exchange for their cooperation.

Prosecutors have said that officers regularly presented false information to obtain warrants and that they cut corners to make more time for lucrative side jobs providing additional security to businesses, often while on duty, and receiving cash payments.

The investigation into the botched raid also led to guilty pleas from the police sergeant in charge of the narcotics unit and another officer who admitted to extortion, authorities said.

Here is a typical anchor baby for you. Stealing from his employer when he is also a cop.

Working off-duty, cop accused of stealing wedding couple's cash

By Maggie Ybarra / El Paso Times
Posted: 10/11/2010 10:58:39 AM MDT

An El Paso police officer of 18 years has been arrested on suspicion of robbing people while working off-duty security at a wedding reception. Alberto Madrid, 42, was arrested about 10:30 a.m. Sunday, according to jail records.

Police accused Madrid of stealing a gift box with money in it and then trying to flee in a vehicle when people at the reception attempted to confront him. Madrid is suspected of taking the gift box between 11 p.m. and midnight on Saturday, police said.

One man was injured by Madrid while he tried to flee, police said. That man was thrown from the hood of the vehicle Madrid was driving after he jumped on to it to avoid being run over, police said.

The man was treated at a hospital, but was not seriously injured, police said.
Madrid was booked into the El Paso County Jail on a $5,000 bond where he remains, according to county jail records.

Criminal and administrative investigations are under way, police said.
Detective Mike Baranyay, a police spokesman, said police took Madrid's credentials and badge on Sunday but Madrid has not been put on administrative leave. "At this point he's still in jail so they haven't been able to formally put him on administrative leave or terminate him," Baranyay said. Madrid was working as an off-duty officer at the time of the suspected theft, Baranyay said.

LIBERTY BOROUGH (KDKA) -The 4-year-old son of a local police officer died after shooting himself with his father’s gun Friday.
The incident happened in Port Vue on F Street around noon. Police said Gavin Thompson, 4, was playing with his father’s police issued weapon and accidentally shot himself in the face.

LOS ANGELES -- A Los Angeles police officer resigned after being accused of using a law enforcement database to find witnesses in the trial of a gang member whose sister he was dating.

Officer Gabriel Morales, 25, resigned on Sept. 2, the same day that investigators from Internal Affairs searched his house and found computer printouts with information on two witnesses in the murder trial of Matthew Turner, according to court records obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

Turner, 18, had been convicted in August of killing a man in a drive-by shooting in Highland Park, and records said that two days later investigators listening in on a phone call heard his father Wayne Turner say Morales was going to seek information on the witnesses.

"I have Gabriel running their names," Wayne Turner said, according to a transcript of the Aug. 8 call.

"He supposed to bring me their names today, where their locations at, so we can get a hold of them."

The same day, according to the documents, Morales accessed the police database, which includes people's personal information including home addresses. http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktl...0,703954.story (http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-rookie-officer-gang,0,703954.story)

Santa Fe County Sheriff Greg Solano sent out a public statement Wednesday admitting to behavior he refers to as “wrong, illegal, unethical and dishonest.”

Solano admits to taking items from the sheriff’s office and selling them online.

According to the statement, Solano began taking old protective body vests turned in by officers to sell online after he read an article about families of soldiers buying these vests online to send to their loved ones oversees.

In addition to vests Solano says he took other items to sell online such as cell phones, flashlights, police belts and holsters.

Solano goes on to perhaps defend his actions by explaining that he was caught up “like many Americans” in a high mortgage rate with high interest rates and general economic strife.

New Mexico State Police spokesperson, Eric Garcia, tells KOB Eyewitness News 4 that investigators have been looking into allegations of embezzlement by Solano for several months now.

According to Solano’s statement, he turned himself in to state police Monday, however Garcia tells KOB that the department caught Solano after looking into his E-bay account. Apparently the sheriff made thousands of dollars selling department items.

Solano claims to have turned over all evidence to state police and promised to fully cooperate with investigators. http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S....shtml?cat=500 (http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S1853514.shtml?cat=500)

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Police have suspended without pay a detective who they say botched paperwork three years ago during the investigation into the murders of two Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers.
The Demeatrius Montgomery trial ended with a guilty verdict in October. Montgomery received two life sentences for killing police officers Sean Clark and Jeff Shelton in 2007.
Montgomery, however, could have gotten the death penalty, but it was removed by Judge Forrest Bridges after Arvin K. Fant, a homicide detective with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, admitted to plagiarizing part of his statement.
On Thursday, CMPD said Fant was "...cited for termination and is currently suspended without pay pending a hearing before the Civil Service Board."
During the opening days of the Montgomery trial, Fant's investigation into the murder of the two officers was called into question.
Fant testified in court that his notes from an interview with Montgomery were destroyed, but later in court, it was revealed that Fant's papers were missing and later turned up.

Stupid cop with expensive new mistress robs bank where he worked part-time as security guard when off-duty. Not surprisingly he wasn't that hard to identify. His local cop buddies couldn't bring themselves to arrest him, so they had to call in the FBI to do it.

see: FBI arrests veteran police officer in bank robbery (http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/courier/news/article_2f61780d-9b80-596e-baab-36f122cb2bf1.html)

This is a rare example of a cop getting what he deserved. Gettting a misdemeanor for no handgun permit beats being dead. The constable did indeed commit a crime, assault with a deadly weapon. That justified use of deadly force by the victim.

Prosecutor: Shooting of Ark. constable justified

By Associated Press
Associated Press
Posted Mar 02, 2012 @ 10:03 AM

PINE BLUFF, Ark. —

A man accused in the January shooting death of a Jefferson County constable won't face felony charges after investigators determined that the shooting was justified, a prosecutor said Thursday. Prosecutor Kyle Hunter said Constable Tommy Holcomb pulled his weapon first when he was shot by Edward Blundell, 29, in the parking lot of a gas station. Hunter said in a news release that after an exhaustive investigation, "I have concluded that Edward Blundell was justified in his action under Arkansas law in that he was reasonable in believing that deadly force was about to be used against him."

Authorities said a car driven by Blundell's wife nearly collided with Holcomb's car in the parking lot of a gas station, and the men got into an argument. Hunter said Holcomb drew his weapon first and Blundell shot him. Holcomb also fired at Blundell, but the bullet did not penetrate Blundell's chest. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://is.gd/W5Zzpi ) Blundell will face a misdemeanor charge for not having a gun permit. Hunter said Holcomb did not commit any crimes but that he should have shown his constable badge when he pulled his weapon.

Holcomb's brother, Jefferson County Judge Mike Holcomb, said Thursday that he didn't want to comment on the prosecutor's findings and instead focused on his family's loss. "It was a horrible thing that happened to our family," he said. "We are just hurting. That's about all I want to say."

Hunter called Holcomb's death a tragedy. "It is a horrible loss," Hunter said. "Not only to his family, but to the entire community. We in law enforcement are thankful for his many years of service."

Officer Larry Bates: The Face of Highway Robbery in Tennessee
Posted by William Grigg on May 14, 2012 08:31 PM

Officer Larry Bates: Highway robber, impenitent perjurer

In the State of Tennessee, highway robbery in the name of "asset forfeiture" is commonplace — and Monterey PD Officer Larry Bates, who stole $22,000 from New Jersey businessman George Raby, is the embodiment of this unfathomably corrupt practice.

Reby, an insurance adjuster, was stopped for speeding by Bates on Interstate 40. Like too many honest and innocent people, Reby made the mistake of answering questions posed by the armed stranger who materialized at the driver's side door.

Bates asked if Reby was carrying any large amounts of cash.

"I said, `Around $20,000," Reby recalled in a television interview with the Nashville CBS affiliate. "Then, at that point, he said, `Do you mind if I search your vehicle?' I said, `No, I don't mind.' I certainly didn't feel I was doing anything wrong. It was my money."

In fact, the ingenuous businessman actually handed the money to the officer.

What Reby didn't understand is that through the practice of "civil asset forfeiture," every traffic stop is a potential highway robbery — and police everywhere are encouraged to view cash and other valuables as subject to confiscation on the pretext that they are "proceeds" of narcotics trafficking. All that is necessary is for the officer to cobble together what he considers a plausible statement justifying his suspicion — however emancipated from the facts of the case — that the money or valuables is connected to actual or potential narcotics commerce.

Bates didn't arrest Reby. He did, however, steal his money, later insisting that this was proper because the businessman "couldn't prove it was legitimate." In the work of fiction he filed later as an official affidavit, Bates invoked his "training" to justify the seizure, insisting that "common people do not carry this much currency."

"On the street, a thousand-dollar bundle could approximately buy two ounces of cocaine," Bates told a news reporter for Channel 5, as if this crashing non sequitur ended the discussion.

Reby explained — and documented — that he had an active eBay bid on a car. Pressed by the reporter, Bates admitted that Reby had said as much during the traffic stop.

"But you did not include that in your report," the TV reporter pointed out in his interview with Bates.

"If it's not in there, I didn't put it in there," simpered the officer — offering an evasive answer of the sort that comes readily to a practiced liar and thief.

Asked why he hadn't mentioned this germane fact in his report, Bates took refuge in sullen silence before replying: "I don't know."

Bates had told the judge that Reby had hidden the money inside "a tool bag underneath trash to [deter] law enforcement from finding it."

While it is indeed a good idea to conceal your money from armed robbers in government-issued costumes, Reby had done nothing of the kind: "That's inaccurate; I pulled out the bag and gave it to him," he told the reporter.

Making use of access to a computerized database, Bates learned that Reby had been arrested on suspicion of cocaine use twenty years ago, but never convicted. It's quite likely that the same is true of at least some of the people who work alongside Officer Bates.

In Tennessee, forfeiture proceedings are conducted ex parte, which means that the judge only heard the thief's side of the story. Reby didn't learn about the hearing until well after the fact — and if he hadn't gone to the media, it's likely he would have lost his money permanently. He had to travel back to Tennessee in order to get a check that was reluctantly written by a police department that refused to apologize for robbing him at gunpoint.

Spectacles of this kind are common on Interstate 40 in Tennessee, where officers from two drug task forces prowl the highway in search of cash they can seize through civil asset forfeiture.

Kim Helper, District Attorney for Tennessee's 21st Judicial District, insists that the highway robbery scheme is "a way for us to continue to fund our operations so that we can put an end to drug trafficking and the drug trade within this district." Of course, those two objectives — "continued funding" and "an end to drug trafficking" — are mutually incompatible.

Officers assigned to the task force often ignore actual narcotics shipments, choosing instead to focus almost exclusively on seizing money. This means concentrating on the westbound side of the highway, where the cash is believed to be found, rather than the eastbound lane, which is supposedly used to shuttle drugs in from Mexico.

As Nashville's CBS affiliate reported last year, the salaries paid to the officers involved in this highway robbery ring are paid directly out of the cash and other assets seized by them; this means that police often find themselves competing to stop and shake down the same cars, sometimes nearly coming to blows in the process.

Larry Bates is an appropriate poster child for the Highway Robbers in uniform who haunt Interstate 40.

God, that cop just has that fucking look that makes the rest of the world look at Tennessee and just shake its head.

Asked why he hadn't mentioned this germane fact in his report, Bates took refuge in sullen silence before replying: "I don't know."

Never, ever, should the lower orders be given any indication they are anything but what they are. Their job is to shut up and enjoy the usufructs of civilization shed by the true humans, among which very, very few Tennesseans number.

Anyone who calls cops heroes is a traitor to humanity and a rebel against culture. And a bonafide lizard cloaca to boot.

In all my years of search in this world, from the Golden Gate in the West to the Vistula in the East, and from the Orkney Islands in the North to the Spanish Main in the South, I have never met a thoroughly moral man who was honorable.

H.L. Mencken (from the Smart Set, 1923)

Relevance? You can't find moraler people than the holler hinds of ol' Tennehichennessee, but ol' Bates shows how they act.

Him richer'n me. Can't have it!
Him smarter'n me. Won't allow it!
Him nicer-car'n than me. Won't stand for it!

By gum and the powers vested in me by the retarded state of Tickseed I'll seize his twenty thousand and think of a reason later.

Bates asked if Reby was carrying any large amounts of cash.

"I said, `Around $20,000," Reby recalled in a television interview with the Nashville CBS affiliate. "Then, at that point, he said, `Do you mind if I search your vehicle?' I said, `No, I don't mind.' I certainly didn't feel I was doing anything wrong. It was my money."

In fact, the ingenuous businessman actually handed the money to the officer.
Double facepalm, Mr. Reby The kwap didn't have to steal, you made it easy on him, you gave it to him!
You can't pull your pants down and tell someone it's OK to fuck you in the ass then cry "RAPE!" afterward.
What people don't seem to realize is that 90% of the shit the ZOGs pulls on people they do because that person voluntarily complied.
I cannot stress this enough, particularly for WNs, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS and learn how to invoke them. There are a tremendous amount of videos on YouTube as well as other sources that can help you do just that.
Remember, you are a FREE WHITE MAN (or woman) and thus a Sovereign in this land of your birthright.
The least we can do is act like it.

In all my years of search in this world, from the Golden Gate in the West to the Vistula in the East, and from the Orkney Islands in the North to the Spanish Main in the South, I have never met a thoroughly moral man who was honorable.

Of Bidens and Bikers: Does Anybody Remember Derek Hale?

by William Norman Grigg

A fragment of folk wisdom dubiously attributed to Bismack informs us that God watches out for "fools, small children, and the United States of America." During a campaign stop in Seaman, Ohio, Joe Biden’s proprietary blend of foolishness and childishness may have proven fatal were it not for the intervention of Providence – or, at least, the close supervision of the Secret Service.

Biden inflicted himself on customers enjoying an otherwise pleasant Sunday meal at Cruiser’s Diner. Acting on the familiar and entirely unwarranted assumption that Mundanes delight in being pestered by their tax-engorged overseers, Biden struck up a conversation with a group of bikers "in black leather vests and bandanas," as Politico recounts the event.

Spying a female member of the club, Biden "pulled a chair in front of himself and pulled her nearly into his lap," continues the report. "He put his hands on her shoulders and leaned in for a conversation as photographers snapped away."

Biden apparently thought that his behavior was puckishly charming, and the assembled media lickspittles did nothing to dispel that delusion. One needn’t have a Betazoid’s empathic gifts to recognize that the two male bikers who flanked Biden were neither flattered by Biden’s presence, nor amused by the adolescent attentions he had forced on their female companion. After all, this was a brazen violation of the second rule of biker etiquette (the relevant section of which could be paraphrased as "Keep your hands off of ‘our’ women").

Biden’s strained attempt at a mock-populist photo-op occurred during the same news cycle in which the Dear Leader himself took part in a staged bearhug in a pizza joint in Florida. I find myself wondering how Biden’s campaign appearance may have turned out if the circumstances had been altered slightly – if, for instance, his son Beau Biden had decided to make a similar overture to a group of bikers. Had this happened, there is a small but tantalizing possibility that Biden the Younger may have been taught the kind of painful lesson from which fools often receive necessary instruction.

In addition to being the glorious outpouring of vice presidential loins – and thus heir to his father’s incurable foolishness – Beau Biden is Delaware’s Attorney General. Five years ago, Biden the Younger consummated the official cover-up of the police murder of Marine veteran Derek Hale, who was repeatedly shot with a Taser and then gunned down by at point-blank range on the front porch of a home in Wilmington on November 6, 2006.

Derek Hale, an Iraq combat veteran, joined an "outlaw motorcycle club" (OMC) called the Pagans shortly after being discharged from the Marine Corps for medical reasons. In November 2006 he was making a run from his home in Virginia to Wilmington as part of a "Toys for Tots" promotion. He was unaware of the fact that about a year earlier the Delaware State Police had opened an investigation into several members of the Pagans OMC.

Derek was not the subject of the investigation. He had no criminal record, and there were no warrants out for his arrest on the day he was murdered.

On November 6, 2006, Derek was house-sitting for a friend, who had broken up with his wife and was moving to a new apartment. Sandra Lopez, the soon-to-be ex-wife of Derek's friend, arrived with an 11-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter early in the afternoon to remove some personal belongings.

Derek – wearing a hooded sweatshirt – was sitting quietly on the front porch of the home when an unmarked police car and a blacked-out SUV arrived at around 4:00 PM and decanted a thugscrum of 8-14 heavily armed police. According to a half-dozen eyewitnesses, the officers were dressed in black, and displayed no police insignia of any kind.

Derek stood as the police surrounded the porch. Within a few seconds, he was hit with the first of what would be seven Taser blasts during a space of 73 seconds. According to eyewitnesses – one of whom, Howard Mixon, was threatened by the officers when he pointed out that Derek was helpless and unresisting – Hale’s last words were a plea for the police to get the children to safety. Witnesses also described how Derek, who was paralyzed from the Taser assault and left wallowing in a puddle of vomit, repeatedly attempted to comply with demands to remove his hands from his pockets.

Derek was prone, unarmed, and helpless when Lt. William Brown of the Wilmington Police Department murdered him by shooting him three times at point-blank range.

The official report commissioned and signed by Beau Biden dismisses eyewitness accounts, retailing as irreproachable truth the self-serving version of the incident provided by the death squad that murdered Derek Hale.

Biden’s report asserted that the Taser barrage was necessary "to overcome Derek Hale’s resistance to the arrest so he could be taken into custody without injury to himself or to the officers." The arrest was unlawful, and Derek Hale offered no resistance – apart from his inability to comply because of the Taser attack itself.

The document also claims that Hale "continued to keep his hand in his pocket as if holding a weapon and turning in a threatening manner toward a nearby officer armed with an empty Taser." According to the description provided by disinterested observers, Derek was thrown to his side by a Taser strike, and was too busy vomiting into a flower bed to "threaten" any of the people who had just attacked him.

Derek was within easy reach of his armed assailants. But taking a hands-on approach might have involved a risk to "officer safety" – one that was both infinitesimal and, to the valiant badasses of the Wilmington PD, entirely unacceptable. So for the benefit of Beau Biden and the other authors of the official report the officers confected a story worthy of a Marvel comic book in which Derek ripped the barbs from his clothes and stood up in a "threatening" manner.

Because of this "menacing" behavior, insists the Biden Report, the Taser-wielding officer nearest to the victim "believed he was in immediate danger and, thus, began an evasive move. Lt. Brown believed that the use of deadly force was immediately necessary to prevent serious injury or death to that officer." A second officer was preparing to gun down Derek when Brown shot the victim.

The police had the advantage of numbers and firepower. Their subject had been under surveillance for days; he was clearly not a threat. He had been Tasered seven times when Lt. Brown pulled the trigger. According to Beau Biden, this was entirely justified because of fears on the part of the assailants that Derek – who was in convulsions – had not been rendered entirely immobile.

Attorney Thomas Neuberger, who represented Derek's widow Elaine in a lawsuit filed against her husband's murderers, described Biden’s report as "a shameless cover-up because the use of deadly force was not justified. Fourteen heavily armed and trained police officers should be able to arrest a citizen without killing him after they have Tasered him seven times and he is lying in a pool of his own vomit."

Shortly after he filed the lawsuit on behalf of Derek’s widow and stepchildren, Neuberger told me that when Thomas MacLeish became commander of the Delaware State Police in 2005, his most urgent priority was to improve the public image of his scandal-plagued agency.

"Over the past several years, we've represented a lot of police officers, including some from SWAT teams, so it's not as if we're anti-police, even though we consider the State Police [DSP] hierarchy to be corrupt," Neuberger told me in early 2007. "We've gone to court on behalf of whistleblowers and officers who have filed civil rights complaints of various kinds. Of the ten lawsuits we've filed, we've either won or successfully settled nine of them. Most of the cases have involved the Delaware State Police, and the DSP's hierarchy has received a lot of negative publicity. I suspect that might be what's behind the raid in which Derek was killed."

Arrested for recording Hawthorne Police

in this day and age of cell phone cameras, inexpensive electronic device, and near instantaneous uplinking no interaction with law enFORCEment or for that matter any of ZOGs minions should go un-recorded.

Arrested for recording Hawthorne Police - YouTube

A California man was jailed for four days for attempting to record police officers on a public street.

Daniel J. Saulmon was charged with resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer but the video shows he was standing well out the way of a traffic stop and was only arrested when he failed to produce identification to an approaching officer.

And there is no law in California that requires citizens to produce identification. And even if there was, it would require the officer to have a reasonable suspicion that he was committing a crime.

But prosecutors have already dropped the charge against Saulmon as well as a few other minor citations relating to his bicycle such as not have proper reflectors on the pedals.

And they most likely knew who he was considering he won a $25,000 settlement from the same police department after they unlawfully arrested him on eavesdropping/wiretapping charges in 2005.

This time, it appears the Hawthorne Police Department will be dishing out much more, thanks to officer Gabriel Lira’s abuse of authority.

“They knew exactly who I was,” Saulmon said in a telephone interview with Photography is Not a CrimeSaturday, adding that he has recorded them on a regular basis since the 2005 arrest when he was jailed after attempting to file a complaint inside the police station.

“They always address me as ‘Mr. Saulmon’,” he said.

"Justified": Uniformed Invaders Shoot a Man 16 Times in his Bed
Posted by William Grigg on January 10, 2013 10:19 AM

Auburn, Washington resident Dustin Theoharis was asleep in his bed on February 11, 2012 when two armed strangers entered his room and started to give him orders. Understandably startled, Theoharis reached for a flashlight. This prompted the two intruders to open fire. Theoharis – who was still in bed -- was shot sixteen times, but survived.

The assailants who shot Theoharis were Detective Aaron Thompson of the King County Sheriff’s Office and Corrections Officer Kris Rongen. They had arrested Theoharis’s roommate, Nicholas Harrison, an ex-convict who had failed to report for community supervision. The officers were searching his bedroom to find if Theoharis had a gun, which would have allowed them to charge Harrison with a parole violation. They had no warrant or probable cause, and no gun was found. Since Harrison was already in custody at the time of the incident, there was no need to conduct a “safety sweep” of the residence.

Immediately after the shots were fired, Detective Benjamin Wheeler – one of four other officers on the scene – went to the downstairs bedroom, where he found Theoharis lying in a pool of blood and the two officers who had shot him in what appeared to be a “state of shock.”

When Wheeler asked what happened, Thompson told him that the victim “told us he had four guns, and then he started reaching for one.” This was a lie. No gun was found in the bedroom. A rifle was found in a locked gun case in the room next door. Theoharis was asleep when the officers went into his darkened bedroom and began barking orders at him, and within ten seconds he had been perforated with sixteen shots.

By any reasonable definition, Detective Thompson and Officer Rongen committed the crime of attempted homicide. An internal review of the incident by the Sheriff’s Office found that neither Thompson nor Rongen had asked “anything about the occupant of the room, if there were weapons present or if the person permanently lived at the residence.” The officers were faulted for not taking the time to “determine a safe course of action” with four other detectives who were present.”

For its part, the Department of Corrections simply ruled that Rongen’s actions had followed department policies. Rongen, invoking the Fifth Amendment, had refused to cooperate with the investigation.

The King County Prosecutor decline to file criminal charges against either assailant, insisting that the shooting was justified because of a “perceived risk” to officer safety.

All police are taught to perceive all citizens as potential risks, and to put “officer safety” ahead of all other considerations. Does this mean they can shoot any of us at any time?

DeKalb cop arrested after fight at local McDonald's
Authorities: Pulled gun on customer in drive-through line
By Alyssa LaRenzie
Alarenzie @ forsythnews.com
POSTED: April 17, 2013 2:51 p.m.

A DeKalb County Police Officer was arrested Wednesday in Forsyth County after he reportedly pointed a gun at a high school student in the drive-through line at a fast-food eatery. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office has charged Scott Biumi, 48, with aggravated assault in connection with the April 9 incident at McDonald’s on Old Atlanta Road. Biumi, who lives in Forsyth County, is a detective sergeant for the DeKalb County Police Department, authorities said.

According to the sheriff’s report, Biumi was upset about the length of time the order from the truck in front of him was taking while waiting in line about 10:30 p.m. He reportedly drove his black Chevrolet Impala in front of the truck, got out and, after exchanging words, walked to the driver’s window of the truck. He then pointed a handgun at the teenager's head and yelled “you don’t know who you are [dealing] with,” according to the report. The man then withdrew his gun, got back in his Impala and drove away.

Forsyth County Sheriff Duane K. Piper called the incident “shocking.” “It appears that he had a severe break in judgment,” Piper said. “It appears that the entire situation evolved from him being angry at the time it was taking for him to get his food.” Factors early in the investigation led the agency to believe the suspect was a law enforcement officer, he said.

The man’s actions indicated that he had law enforcement training, Piper said. He also drove his police-issued Impala, which matched the tag number reported by the teens in the vehicle he confronted. The teens attend Lambert High.

A surveillance tape of the incident aided in the investigation, as did witness reports. “Once we determined it was not going to be one of our officers, we expanded the scope of our investigation and eventually determined it was Mr. Biumi from the DeKalb County Police Department,” Piper said.

Biumi was booked into the Forsyth County Detention Center on Wednesday afternoon. His bond has been set at $22,000, with a court date scheduled for May 23. It could not immediately be determined what, if any, action DeKalb police has taken in regards to Biumi’s employment. “You wouldn’t expect any adult of any type to be acting like this,” Piper said, “but especially, with a law enforcement officer, I think they have even a higher standard of self-control, and to me, that’s the most shocking part.”

Florida cop fired for eighth time

German Bosque is being fired -- again -- after leaving a city-owned AR-15 assault rifle with a friend.

KRISTEN BUTLER, UPI.com

The Opa-Locka Police Department in Florida on Wednesday argued before an arbitrator that one of their own officers deserved to be fired -- for the sixth time.

The department told arbitrator Jeanne Wood that Sgt. German Bosque should be terminated because he left a city-owned, 30-round AR-15 assault rifle with the father of his then-girlfriend and now fiancé.

WFOR CBS4 Miami reports that Bosque is "the most disciplined, fined, fired, arrested police officer in the state." He has been fired eight times by three departments in Florida. Opa-locka's six previous attempts to fire Bosque have not succeeded.

Over the years, he has faced allegations including "busting the skull" of a handcuffed suspect, beating juveniles, having drugs in a patrol car, falsifying reports, conducting an unauthorized car chase where four people were killed and “calling in sick…from Cancun.”

“It’s allegations. Allegations are not convictions,” said Bosque’s union-provided attorney, Andrew Axelrad. As to Bosque's alleged carelessness with his police-issued rifle, Axelrad said the weapon was safe with the man Bosque calls “Daddy,” who is a licensed security guard.

“Anyone can legally purchase this weapon,” Axelrad said.

“Not just anyone can purchase one from the Opa-locka police department,” retorted city attorney Joe Geller. The arbitrator said she would issue a decision in 60 to 90 days.

A South Texas police officer has been put on administrative leave after being charged with shooting his neighbor's cat with an arrow. Police in Boerne said Officer Lance Deleon was not on duty Tuesday when the cat named "Bobby" was wounded. Police Chief Jim Kohler said the cat was shot using a crossbow.

Officials with South Texas Veterinary Specialists said the 2-year-old male cat has been treated for a punctured lung and broken front right leg. Vets said Bobby is expected to recover. Deleon was charged with animal cruelty and released from jail Wednesday after posting $2,000 bail. Boerne is located about 25 miles northwest of San Antonio.

Poor Kitty Cat ... The officer should be shot with a crossbow, see how much it hurts.

These beasts make child molesters and drug dealers look like living saints.

I don't own, and don't want any cat's, but this bastard with a crossbow should be sentenced to cleaning wounds, cleaning cages, and helping hurt dogs, and cats at a vet center for a year on his days off and vacation. Plus he must work at the vet center very earnestly and deligently or lose his piggy job instantly IMO.

If he is not fired out right which he should be.

Too many cops fired in one area get hired again in a new location.

The caliber of the majority of cops is very poor IMO, but that is because of the bastards who rule the regime.

Right on, but I hardly think it would matter at all if you're thinking that would help him gain some perspective. You have to be mentally unstable to harm a defenseless domesticated animal. Especially knowing that the pet is a part of someone's family and could be a young boy or girl's snuggle buddy.

Unfortunately on our farms we've had more than our share of animals being murdered or hurt by idiots. At one point we had over a dozen barn kitties that we had spade or neutered to help control the population, and their ears would be cut in hopes that neighbors would not hurt or kill them. No such luck, we had a neighbor whose son loved to hunt and said if he saw our cats under his tree stand, he would start a cat-tail collection. When we had several cats disappear completely, and 2 cats gone for a few weeks and come back with no tail - we were furious, but what can be done when you can't prove who did it?

The worst was one of our dogs who was sprayed in the face with weedkiller by the electric company men who were trimming up the tree line along our fields. I spent every day for almost 2 weeks at the vet's office for shots and treatments, because my heartbroken grandmother didn't want to lose her dog.

So every time that I hold an animal in my arms as they take their last breaths, as I dig another grave along the fence line, etch another name into stone, my heart aches for these animals that were a part of our family. When some idiot comes along and causes them pain & suffering, or takes their lives without a second thought - it makes me sick.

Shameful, wasteful, thoughtless, and careless. The cop should be punished, fined, & fired.

Bet you it was a nig pig that did it.

Any racial I.D. on this case yet ?

Thomas Chittum, though I read that he has changed his mind for what I don't know, about his book "Civil War Two". Never the less the book he wrote stated that racial war would start with police departments going at it, but I doubt that with the Neo STASI situation in place. No IMO it will be nuke, or other out right war and starvation that gets the can opened.

Edison officer Michael Dotro pleads not guilty to firebombing his supervisor’s home

NEW BRUNSWICK - An Edison police officer has pleaded not guilty to five counts of attempted murder in connection with the firebombing of his supervisor’s house. Michael Dotro, 35, is accused of firebombing the home of Police Capt. Michael Anderko early Monday morning, while Anderko, his wife, two children, and 92-year-old mother were asleep inside. All managed to escape unharmed.

Acting Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey says, “The charges in the complaint are very serious. This is not a bar fight, this is not a speeding ticket, these are five counts of attempted murder and one count of aggravated arson for which the defendant is facing 30 years to life.”
Dotro’s attorney, Lawrence Bitterman, says he cannot believe the charges are true. He calls Dotro a “solid guy, good cop with great police instincts and it just does not fit in.”

In his 10 years with the Edison Police Department, Dotro has been involved in several controversies. In 2005, he was accused of police brutality, but was acquitted. In 2008, he was accused of assaulting a neighbor during a dispute, but again was acquitted. The neighbor also reported his backyard shed mysteriously caught fire, but no one was charged in connection with that incident.

Bitterman asked for Dotro’s bail to be reduced but the judge declined, keeping the bail at $5 million cash.

The City Manager did the right thing but the chief should pay for his medical costs out of his own pocket.. The fool needs to unload his firearm before he cleans it. This guy is supervising his officers in safe handling of firearms.

Bangor Police Chief Mark Hathaway said that he made a very serious mistake, while cleaning his service weapon that resulted in shooting himself in the left hand. Hathaway said that gun was examined and was functioning properly, the firearm discharge was his fault. "I'm thankful no one else was injured." he said.

BANGOR — Police Chief Mark Hathaway said Friday that he made a very serious mistake while cleaning his new duty weapon that caused him to shoot himself in the left hand. The city manager agreed and has ordered Hathaway to undergo additional gun safety training. “I was handling the firearm and I was not focusing on what I was doing and that is unacceptable,” Hathaway said while sitting in a training room at the Bangor Police Station with his left forearm and hand wrapped in a cast. “And this is the result.” “I want the public to know we’re not making excuses,” Hathaway said. “It was without question my fault. I made a very serious mistake.” Hathaway declined to describe Monday’s incident in detail.

An internal investigation into the shooting was conducted by Lt. Tim Reid, who leads the detective division, and was summarized in an interoffice memo issued Friday to Hathaway from City Manager Cathy Conlow. “While there were several mitigating factors that were involved including heat and the fact that these new weapons require that the trigger be depressed in order to be disassembled, the final analysis is that [the] injury was the result of your failure to clear the chamber prior to disassembly,” Conlow wrote.

Conlow ordered Hathaway to undergo remedial training, to include reading, classroom and firearms handling, and is requiring written documentation that he completed the program. The memorandum states that the Attorney General’s office and the District Attorney of Penobscot County were informed of the incident and both indicated it was appropriate to handle the matter internally.

Sgt. Bob Bishop, the department’s firearms training officer, was seated beside Hathaway Friday and said the incident spurred a review of departmental safety procedures already in place. “I would like people who use or handle firearms to think about what I did,” Hathaway said, stressing gun safety. “We do not want this to happen to anybody else.”

The city’s new police chief, a 25-year veteran on the force, had just returned from weapons training in Brewer with his new duty weapon, a .45-caliber Glock handgun, when the incident occurred. Four or five officers were in the room when the gun went off, and they quickly rendered care. “They put me on the ground and took off their shirts to wrap up my hand to stop the bleeding,” Hathaway said.

The fire department’s ambulance crew arrived in minutes and quickly took him to Eastern Maine Medical Center, he said. “They took good care of me,” Hathaway said of his officers and emergency responders. “I’m thankful nobody else was injured,” he also said.

The city received a Justice Assistance Grant from the federal government last fall that provided the $10,800 needed to purchase the new weapons, which were issued to all 82 sworn officers and replaced the .45-caliber Sig Sauers previously in use.

Bishop and his staff examined the firearm and it functions properly, Hathaway said, and the team also examined the entire weapons training program. “In the aftermath of this, we put ourselves under a microscope,” Bishop said. He said everything from what is taught in the classroom to how the range is operated to cleaning weapons was reviewed. “Everyone in the firearms instruction [team] met and discussed this,” Bishop said. “That discussion [is] going to produce changes. We’re striving for firearms excellence because the public expects us to be flawless.”

Bishop said Monday’s incident was the third accidental gun discharge within the department in the last quarter century, none of which occurred while officers were dealing with members of the public. “That statistic is incredible,” Bishop said.

Hathaway, who was hired as chief in April at a salary of $85,893, said if he had followed the safety rules already in place, “we wouldn’t be here today.”
“I accept the criticism I received. It was well deserved,” Hathaway said.
