In Louisiana, a father, a son and a culture of police abuse

 

Growing up in the piney backwoods of northern Louisiana, where yards were dotted with crosses and the occasional Confederate flag, Jacob Brown was raised on hunting, fishing and dreams of becoming a state trooper.

 

But within weeks of arriving at the Louisiana State Police training academy in Baton Rouge, instructors pegged Brown as trouble. One wrote that he was an arrogant, chronic rule breaker with “toxic” character traits that should disqualify him from ever joining the state’s elite law enforcement agency.

 

Fortunately for Brown, the state police was known as a place where who you knew often trumped what you did, and where most introductory chats eventually got around to a simple question: Who’s your daddy?

 

Jacob Brown is the son of Bob Brown, then part of the state police’s top brass who would rise to second in command despite being reprimanded years earlier for calling Black colleagues the n-word and hanging a Confederate flag in his office. And the son would not only become a “legacy hire” but prove his instructors prophetic by becoming one of the most violent troopers in the state, reserving most of his punches, flashlight strikes and kicks for the Black drivers he pulled over along the soybean and cotton fields near where he grew up.

 

When friends and colleagues would ask Bob Brown how his first-born was getting along as a trooper, he’d respond with a seemingly innocuous boast:

 

“He’s knocking heads.”

 

The Browns’ story is woven throughout the recent history of the Louisiana State Police and represents what dozens of current and former troopers have described to The Associated Press as a culture of impunity, nepotism and in some cases outright racism.

There are any number of states in which I can’t believe any black people still live. Louisiana is at the top of that list. It’s literally a fast track factory to prison work camps for us.

Kentucky Sheriff Arrested After Allegedly Punching Girl in the Face During Basketball Game (VIDEO)

 

The sheriff of a small town in Kentucky was arrested by his own deputies after allegedly punching a girl during a fight that erupted at a high school basketball game while he was assistant coaching.

 

Owsley County Sheriff Brent Lynch was arrested on Thursday morning over the incident that occurred on Dec. 3 and has had an active warrant out for his arrest since Tuesday of this week. He was charged with one count of assault in the fourth degree.

 

Kentucky State Police Trooper Matt Gayheart announced the charges on Thursday, noting that the warrant had been served after Lynch turned himself in. The defendant was subsequently detained in the Three Forks Regional Jail in Lee County, Ky. A search of jail records suggests he already made bail or has yet to be processed.

 

“On December 3, 2021, Troopers with Kentucky State Police, Post 13, Hazard, responded to Perry County Central High School in regards to an assault complaint that occurred during a girls’ high school basketball game,” the KSP said in a press release. “During an altercation between players during the game, it is alleged Mr. Lynch, who is also part of the coaching staff for Owsley County High School, assaulted a juvenile female.”

 

Video of the contretemps is hectic, chaotic and difficult to decipher.

Police, district investigating after police officer upset school bus driver over masks

 

A bus driver said a police officer got onto her school bus Friday morning and threatened her for requiring children to wear masks while on their way to class. The police officer's department shared a different picture of the incident.

 

It happened on board a Rockwood School District bus with children from LaSalle Springs Middle School in Wildwood. District officials confirmed with 5 On Your Side they are investigating what happened.

 

We talked with the driver who was shaken up by what she said happened while she was on the job.

 

She said a man in police uniform with a gun in his holster walked onto the bus and threatened to report her to Attorney General Eric Schmitt for asking children to wear masks.

The bus driver told 5 On Your Side’s Casey Nolen she believes the incident on her bus was caught on camera. 

 

Bob Shockey, chief of the Arnold Police Department, said the officer is with his department. The Arnold Police Department does not serve that area of the Rockwood School District in Wildwood.

 

Shockey said the officer is a parent of one of the students who was on the bus. He said the officer did not initially step onto the bus, but asked the bus driver for a phone number to lodge a complaint. The officer stepped through the door of the bus when the driver had the phone number for him.

 

Eureka police were called to the school district headquarters after the incident.

 

School buses fall under the federal transportation rule, which still mandates masks for drivers and children, meaning they don’t fall under state or local policies and have nothing to do with the recent ruling by a judge in Missouri and St. Louis County lifting its mask mandate.

5 FBI officials solicited prostitutes overseas while on work trips: DOJ inspector general

 

Five Federal Bureau of Investigation officials "solicited" prostitutes while on an overseas trip, the Department of Justice inspector general said in a two-page report.

 

Four of the officials "solicited, procured, and accepted commercial sex overseas."

 

"The OIG investigation also found that four of those officials lacked candor about their interactions with prostitutes and other misconduct during OIG compelled interviews and compelled polygraph examinations, in violation of FBI policies, and that one of those officials made false statements in an OIG compelled interview and compelled polygraph examination in violation of federal law, when the official denied having engaged in sex acts with a prostitute," Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote.

 

Soliciting a prostitute overseas while working for the FBI is a violation of FBI and DOJ policy.

Ex-California deputy sentenced for throwing out urine test that exonerated detainee

 

A former California deputy was sentenced on Wednesday for throwing away a urine test that proved a detained driver wasn’t on drugs – before trying to have her jailed anyway on suspicion she was high on methamphetamine.

 

Richard Charles Barrios III, 29, an ex-deputy with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, will spend a year behind bars for the stunt at his police station in November 2019, according to prosecutors.

 

He pleaded guilty in November to destroying physical matter.

 

The bizarre chain of events unfolded after Barrios pulled over the driver for a traffic violation and suspected she was on meth, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release.

 

Another deputy who arrived at the scene also believed the driver was high and she was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance.

 

Throughout the ordeal, the woman vehemently denied she was intoxicated and Barrios promised to free her if her drug test came back negative, prosecutors said.

 

The woman supplied the deputy with a urine sample.

 

Barrios was caught on surveillance footage at the police station testing the sample and viewing the results before tossing the urine in the trash.

 

The deputy refused to reveal the test results to the woman and tried to have her booked into jail, but she complained to another deputy who found the discarded sample and test kit in the garbage, prosecutors said.

 

The kit showed the woman’s urine sample was negative for all controlled substances. She agreed to another test, which yielded the same results.

 

Deputies released the woman and afterward Barrios was later charged.

NC police chief on unpaid leave after telling officers about 'clinic' to obtain fake COVID-19 vaccination cards

 

A North Carolina police chief has been placed on unpaid leave and probation for telling officers about a "clinic" that would issue them a COVID-19 vaccination card without actually receiving the shot, local officials said.

 

T.J. Smith -- the police chief of Oakboro Town, North Carolina -- violated policies including, fraud, willful acts that endanger the property of others and serving a conflicting interest when he allegedly told officers about the scheme, according to a letter addressed to him from Town Administrator Doug Burgess.

 

The alleged violations stem from "detrimental personal conduct including notifying law enforcement officers to attend a 'clinic' where they would be able to obtain proof of COVID-19 vaccination cards without being vaccinated," the letter said.

 

The vaccine fraud accusations come as the Omicron variant is spreading rapidly both in the US and worldwide. Full vaccination as well as boosters provide the best protection against the highly contagious variant that has been alarming health officials amid the holiday season.

Local officials call on Idaho sheriff to resign after he allegedly made disparaging comments about Native Americans

 

Members of a southeastern Idaho youth church group were being driven around by their chaperone last month, delivering Thanksgiving cards in the neighborhood to those they were thankful for when they decided last minute to stop at the home of the county sheriff's house, according to a probable cause affidavit later filed in court.

 

What happened next outside the home of Bingham County Sheriff Craig Rowland has put the small Idaho community in the national spotlight. The sheriff is facing calls for his resignation after charges that he allegedly pointed a gun at his long-time neighbor and two teenage girls, and later during an interview with investigators allegedly made disparaging remarks about Native Americans.

The incident took place on the night of November 9 in the town of Blackfoot, Idaho. The seven girls had hand-traced and cut paper turkeys with messages listing "why they were thankful for certain people," according to the affidavit. The plan was to tape the turkey on the front door of the recipient's house, ring the doorbell and run away before they were seen, according to the affidavit.

But when two of the girls tried to deliver a paper turkey, the sheriff walked out of his house with a gun drawn, according to the affidavit.

Chelsea Cox, the group's chaperone who also lives down the street from Rowland, was told by the girls that the sheriff had seen them, and they couldn't deliver the card without being caught, according to the affidavit. Shortly afterward, Cox told investigators, she saw Rowland trying to wave her down with a gun in his other hand.

When Rowland approached the car, Cox opened the door and she told him that they were "just here to drop off something for Lisa," the sheriff's wife, the affidavit says. Cox told investigators that Rowland then pointed his gun at her and two young girls in the passenger seat and told her to "get the f--k out of the car."

 

As Cox went to shift her car into park, Rowland moved closer to her and then grabbed and yanked her hair while ordering her to get out of the car again, according to the affidavit. He then allegedly pointed the gun at Cox and asked her what she was doing. When she tried to answer him, the affidavit said that Rowland, "yelled that he could or would shoot Cox."

Authorities also interviewed the girls aged 12 to 16 who were in the car at the time, who all appeared to corroborate the series of events described by Cox, according to the affidavit.

 

Rowland and his wife also told investigators, according to the affidavit, that they had received threats: a former inmate had a discussion with Rowland's wife in a grocery store and Rowland had been the purported target of harassment by another local resident.

When detailing the threats, Rowland allegedly made disparaging comments to investigators about Native Americans.

"I have been doing this job for 36 years, I've had drunk Indians drive down my cul-de-sac, I've had drunk Indians come to my door, I live just off of the reservation, we have a lot of reservation people around us that are not good people, they, they committed crimes, we've arrested them, so on and so forth," Rowland told investigators, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Oleson, who says he was present for the interview, said that Rowland is not a racist and that the comments were, "taken completely out of context."

 

Rowland told investigators that although he had an alcoholic beverage during dinner that night, the affidavit notes that he said the recent daylight saving time change had "really messed me up."

The Police Dog Who Cried Drugs at Every Traffic Stop

 

Cops laugh about “probable cause on four legs” but the damage to innocent lives is real.
 

Despite the frequent errors, courts typically treat certified narcotics dogs as infallible, allowing law enforcement agencies to use them like blank permission slips to enter vehicles, open suitcases, and rummage through purses.

 

The Institute for Justice, a libertarian public interest law firm, shows a financial motive for the snooping in its 2020 report, Policing for Profit. Local, state, and federal agencies have raked in more than $68.8 billion in proceeds since 2000 through a process called civil forfeiture.

‘Suspicious’: Dallas Detectives Seize $100k from Woman at Airport Without Charging Her With a Crime

 

Two Dallas detectives searched a 25-year-old Chicago woman’s suitcase at Dallas Love Field Airport on Dec. 2 and seized more than $100,000 from the bag.

 

Detectives say they smelled a drug odor before they searched the woman’s luggage without her permission but did not arrest her and haven’t charged her with a crime. The woman was flying domestically and had a layover at the Dallas airport.

 

Civil asset forfeiture allows police to seize, then keep or sell the property they allege was involved in a crime, leaving someone whose property was seized to go to court to try to get it back.

A police K-9 alerted two detectives with the Dallas Police Department to a black, checked-in suitcase secured by a lock.

 

The dog, named Ballentine, is trained to pick up the scent of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine.

The asset forfeiture laws are literally the reason I switched from voting straight R to straight D. 
 

BUT .....

 

I do find myself struggling to come up with the legal reasons to be carrying $100,000, cash, in one's carryon luggage.

[NoCalMike]

That lap dancing rookie.  Gotta admit she has some skills.  I expected to see some kind of awkward half-dancing routine, but wow......

 

So it seems like more and more of the police issue only talks about deaths and while that is definitely a problem, it seems like just normal run of the mill harassment and abuse is starting to get ignored.  The general dehumanization that goes on with little to no consequences.  The type of behavior and action that happens over and over which leads to the distrust and paranoia from communities when it comes to law enforcement.

It's a valid argument.  One that resonates with me.  

 

That's why I left the Republican Party.  The notion that you could punish somebody for a crime, without convicting them of a crime.  Or even accusing them of one.

Great, the department responsible is going to see this, claims it's an assault on all their officers, and demand 10x their current budget next year to station officers at the graves of all dead cops 24/7 to prevent this.

 

I hope you're happy.
