Assault
Yet another video has surfaced showing deputy inspector Tony Bologna needlessly pepperspraying a second group of people on the same day that he peppersprayed at least 4 women without cause at the #occupywallstreet protests on Saturday. Instead the department, which had insistently claimed that officer Bologna, who has a history of excessive force allegations involving protesters, was justified in his use of pepperspray, has now promised to do an investigation before jumping right into denial mode yet again.

Clayton County GA police are being accused of intentionally failing to control a cop that is a accused of terrorizing that county’s citizens. The officer hasn’t faced a day of disciplinary actions despite an internal affairs record 500 pages long that includes a record-breaking 58 use-of-force cases and 12 excessive force complaints that include allegations that he pummeled a man with his fists and a baton while that man was passed out inside his own car due to a diabetic attack even though the man had stickers on his car to warn people about his condition.

Denver CO has offered to settle a brutality suit that threatened to force the department to release thousands of secret excessive force records, all in an apparent effort to keep that from happening.

I foresee another quick settlement in Denver’s future. [3] http://t.co/rUPmY04G

Fairfax County Cops Entrapment Scam Fails at a big cost
For over a month, six Fairfax County cops have an on going entrap scam to arrest citizens that has, in its latest failure, attempted to trap 51 adults with almost no result.
Fairfax County police cadets approach adults in parking lots of businesses that possess state Alcoholic Beverage Control licenses and ask the people to purchase alcohol for them.
If asked whether he is 21 years of age, the police cadet will respond with his true age. If the sale or service of alcohol transpires, a plain-clothes police officer intervenes and places charges against the adult.
Police approached 51 adults and made five arrests for illegal purchases of alcohol at 7-Eleven stores at 7451 Patterson Road, 1931 Old Gallows Road, 8391 Leesburg Pike, 8616 Park St. and 2915 Cedar Lane.
The operation was conducted using two teams, each consisting of one plain-clothes officer, one uniformed officer and one cadet.
Fairfax cop charged with assault
The arrest happened at the 12800 block of Noltland Castle Drive, Bristow Va. 20136
A 21-year veteran of the Fairfax County Police Department has been arrested and charged with assault and battery.
According to the Prince William County Police Department, Brian James Sonnenberg, 44, of Bristow, was arrested Friday and charged with domestic assault and battery after a verbal altercation with an acquaintance “escalated and got out of hand.”
Police spokesman Jonathan Perok said that police were called to a Bristow residence by a 21-year-old man who reported that he had been assaulted by Sonnenberg, who is a veteran officer with the Fairfax County Police Department.
“Mr. Sonnenberg has been a police officer with the department for 21 years and stationed at the Mason District police station,” said Fairfax County Police Spokesman Bud Walker. “He has been placed on administrative leave pending the result of this case.”
According to Perok, the 21-year-old alleged victim sustained minor injuries and Sonnenberg was arrested without incident. Court date and bond information are currently unavailable, according to Prince William County Police.

Prince William County fugitive of the week
Credit: Prince William County police
Police allege that Micah Kristian Neil Turner, seen here in a DMV photo, stole a GPS unit out of a car parked in Prince William and pawned the device on Aug. 1 in Fairfax.
Prince William County police are looking for Micah Kristian Neil Turner on grand larceny charges.
A man told police somebody broke into his car, which was parked in the area of Davis Fairfax Lane, located near the Prince William County government complex between July 29 and Aug. 1, according to Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
Police allege Turner pawned the GPS unit, valued at $275, at the Fairfax pawn shop on Aug. 1.
Turner, according to Perok, missed a court date on Aug. 23 for an unrelated malicious wounding charge.
Turner, 18, whose last known address is 12912 Ketterman Drive, near the County Center neighborhood, is wanted for grand larceny, tampering with a vehicle and failure to appear in court, Perok said.
Police described Turner as black, 6 feet tall, 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Police ask that anyone with information relating to Turner’s whereabouts call Crime Solvers at 703-670-3700, or 1-866-411-TIPS. Callers do not have to give their names or testify in court and may receive a reward of up to $1,000 for information that results in an arrest.

There were no arrests made for DWI....not one. So, towards the end of the night, the cops frantically started issuing summonses, seven in all, for what they termed "miscellaneous traffic offenses."

An Illinois Circuit Court judge ruled that using that state’s wiretap law to arrest people for recording cops or other public officials in the course of their work is unconstitutional in a case where a man was facing a ridiculous 75 years in prison for doing just that.
