I think the chief needs to be fired. Busting down doors based on the word on the street? How was that not going to end in tragedy.... yikes.

Agreed Chew. As much as I'm not a fan of the cops in general, it's really hard to fault the cop in a case like this. However, it highlights the stupidity of the good guy with a gun narrative in active shooter incidents. Unless you're a uniformed officer, the risk is just too high that you'll end up like this poor guy. If there's a mass shooting and I'm carrying, the only way I'll pull out my weapon is if I'm in direct, immediate danger from the shooter.

 

 

true, true, and true.... 

 

but it STILL begs the question... why the hell is the NRA not balls-to-the-wall supporting THIS guy...?

 

 

But really..it doesn't beg any question, because EVERYONE knows the answer.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — State investigators are reviewing a case where a DUI suspect died after an officer — not the suspect — signed a form refusing medical treatment. The man, Nathaniel Rhodes, 58, had eight broken ribs and a ruptured liver when he died, according to medical records.

According to the police report, the cruiser’s dashboard camera was malfunctioning.

California keeps a secret list of criminal cops, but says you can’t have it

 

Their crimes ranged from shoplifting to embezzlement to murder. Some of them molested kids and downloaded child pornography. Others beat their wives, girlfriends or children.

The one thing they had in common: a badge.

 

Thousands of California law enforcement officers have been convicted of a crime in the past decade, according to records released by a public agency that sets standards for officers in the Golden State.

 

The revelations are alarming, but the state’s top cop says Californians don’t have a right to see them. In fact, Attorney General Xavier Becerra warned two Berkeley-based reporters that simply possessing this never-before-publicly-released list of convicted cops is a violation of the law.

 

The California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training — known as POST — provided the information last month in response to routine Public Records Act requests from reporters for the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley and its production arm, Investigative Studios.

 

But when Becerra’s office learned about the disclosure, it threatened the reporters with legal action unless they destroyed the records, insisting they are confidential under state law and were released inadvertently. The two journalism organizations have rejected Becerra’s demands.

 

“It’s disheartening and ominous that the highest law enforcement officer in the state is threatening legal action over something the First Amendment makes clear can’t give rise to criminal action against a reporter,” said David Snyder, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, a San Rafael-based nonprofit that advocates for free speech and open records.

 

The documents provide a rare glimpse at the volume of officer misconduct at a time of heightened interest over police accountability. The list includes cops who trafficked drugs, cops who stole money from their departments and even one who robbed a bank wearing a fake beard. Some sexually assaulted suspects. Others took bribes, filed false reports and committed perjury. A large number drove under the influence of drugs and alcohol — sometimes killing people on the road.

 

The Berkeley journalists chose not to publish the entire list until they could spend more time reporting to avoid misidentifying people among the nearly 12,000 names in the documents, said John Temple, director of the Investigative Reporting Program.

JPSO investigating shocking video of arrest on Metairie parade route

 

METAIRIE – The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office is investigating the arrest of a 20-year-old man on the Metairie parade route after a video posted on Twitter shows an officer swatting a cell phone from his hand before several others slam the man to the ground.

 

The video, which contains adult language, shows 20-year-old Jacobi Cage apparently filming a JPSO deputy with a cell phone after the Krewe of Centurions parade around 9 p.m. on March 1.

 

As the deputy that Cage is filming says something to Cage, another deputy can be seen swatting the cell phone from Cage’s hands before making an obscene gesture in Cage’s face and walking away.

 

Cage then returns the obscene gesture with both of his hands toward the back of the retreating deputy who had just swatted the cell phone out of his hands.

Several other deputies can then be seen converging on Cage, physically grabbing him, pulling him over an orange barricade into the street, and slamming him to the ground.

So this cop shot an unarmed autistic man, for no reason in August of 2017 and the result has been being placed on paid desk duty.  You’d think an investigation which came with a video of what took place would take less time to complete, and that reprocussions would be more severe than less dangerous work for the same pay.  If the cop had stolen 10 dollars out of another cops locker hed already be fired.  This speaks to their priorities. 

 

Also, a police “boss” (whatever that may be) should be immediately terminated for requesting a internal investigation report be altered.  Those reports are meaningless if investigators can be called into someone’s office and told to change it.  This won’t happen.

The defense’s suggestion, that Chambers consented to sex with the officers while she was under arrest, was legal in 2017 in New York and 34 other states. Chambers has said she told the officers no, and her attorney added to BuzzFeed News that the power dynamics of the situation — two police detectives versus a 5-foot, 2-inch tall teenager who’d been handcuffed — do not allow the possibility for consent.

 

“You cannot consent to sex under those circumstances,” he said.

 

Since BuzzFeed News’ story highlighting her case, the New York legislature passed a bill specifying that a person in police custody cannot consent to sex with an officer.

 

Prosecutors in Brooklyn on Wednesday said they believe that sexual conduct between an officer and a person in custody should be a crime.

 

“However, that was not the law at the time of the incident,” the District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. “Because of this and because of unforeseen and serious credibility issues that arose over the past year and our ethical obligations under the rules of professional conduct, we are precluded from proceeding with the rape charges.”

 

David, Chambers’ attorney, denied that she had lied and characterized the focus on credibility issues as an attempt to take attention away from the evidence of rape. He added the District Attorney’s Office had turned against his client when she refused a plan to bring lesser charges against the former officers; she wanted to go to trial for rape.

 

“She decided to speak out, and they shut it right down,” David said. “It’s a very bad message to future victims of sexual violence, especially against law enforcement.”

I'll probably get bashed for this, but this is the law.  If no one claimed it, it's constructive possession.  These people should be as mad at the douche bag who didn't claim his weed as they are against the cops.

Public regularly denied access to police officer videos

 

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The video is brief but disturbing: An officer is seen striking an unarmed suspect with his handgun as the man falls into the grass. An autopsy would later show he died from a gunshot to the back of the head.

 

After the death last July of 26-year-old Daniel Fuller in Devils Lake, North Dakota, investigators described the video to his grieving relatives. But for days, weeks and then months, they refused to release it to the family or the public. They did so only after a prosecutor announced in November that the officer did not intend to fire his gun and would not face criminal charges.

 

“It took forever for them to release the video because they kept saying it was an ongoing investigation,” said Fuller’s older sister, Allyson Bartlett. “I don’t think they wanted pressure from the community.”

 

Her experience is typical. An investigation by The Associated Press has found that police departments routinely withhold video taken by body-worn and dashboard-mounted cameras that show officer-involved shootings and other uses of force. They often do so by citing a broad exemption to state open records laws — claiming that releasing the video would undermine an ongoing investigation.

This is a large part of the problem. Yes it’s the law, but the cops have discretion about who they lock up. Do you believe that if the kids involved were white, they’d have done the same thing? And, why were the cops even called in the first place? Maybe it was a neighbor wanting a big response, but I’m not buying the shots fired BS.

 

Much of the disparity in the so-called justice system hinges on the cops’ and D.A.’s discretion to arrest/charge some people and not others. If whites were arrested and charged at the same rates as POC, things would have changed a long time ago.

Heck ya it would.  White people would change the laws so only POC were getting locked up more.

Trenton police officers shoot, kill man threatening to harm himself, authorities say

 

Trenton police officers shot and killed a 42-year-old man Thursday after responding to 911 calls about a person threatening to harm himself, authorities said.

 

Jason Williams, of Trenton, was holding a gun and standing in the doorway of a residence on the 600 block of North Olden Avenue when four officers arrived to investigate the 911 calls received at 10:46 p.m., according to the state Office of the Attorney General.

 

During the encounter, two officers shot Williams, authorities said. He was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

 

The gun Williams was holding was later determined to be a BB gun, authorities said.
