Reports of police misconduct tracked by the National Police Misconduct News Feed for this weekend, December 11-12, 2010:
Murder
Wilmington Delaware has settled a lawsuit for $875,000 to the widow of a former US Marine who was shot to death by a cop while he was still incapacitated from from being struck with a taser. Witnesses say he was vomiting and shaking while officers were shouting at him to pull his hands out of his pockets but the officers were cleared by an internal review.
Assault
University of Missouri at St Louis police are accused of using excessive force in an unprovoked attack against a disabled student who was working as a DJ when he had the police called to help deal with a volunteer employee he claimed was out of control. Instead the responding officers allegedly went after him and began beating and kicking him in front of a crowd of students who began to shout as they watched the incident through the radio station’s glass windows.
Narcotics/ Alcohol
Over 250 New Jersey cops, fire fighters, and corrections officers have been implicated in a Star-Ledger investigation that claims they were clients of a doctor who, in most cases, illegally gave them steroids. The investigative report also continues in a second part that details multiple excessive force cases and legal actions associated with officers who were allegedly supplied by the doctor who recently died.
An Albany New York cop has been suspended without pay after being arrested on a drunk driving charge while off-duty.
Civil Rights Abuse
Some New York NY cops in the 79th Precinct are allegedly threatening to boycott alleged summons quotas that have been in the news repeatedly over the last year and often blamed for several recent false arrest cases. Officers say that even they don’t feel these “productivity goals” are right and there’s already been one boycott where some officers didn’t write a single summons for their entire shift, though that was to protest disciplinary shift changes for cops who didn’t meet their quotas.
Seattle Washington police, in response to a recent settlement, have agreed to change their trespassing enforcement policy that previously allowed officers to ban people from a number of properties in one fell swoop based almost solely on appearance, not any actual actions.
The usual white trash behavior we’ve all come to expect
A Little Rock Arkansas cop who had been fired for uttering racial slurs on camera has been rehired by the decision of a civil service commission upon his appeal. Several groups are outraged over the decision and the Black Cop’s Association there is calling for the resignations of the three commissioners who overturned the discipline.

Cops and animals: A strange, strange relationship
The New Castle County Delaware police department is accused of lying in their press release that blames the shooting of a police dog on an armed suspect who, apparently, never fired a shot. Instead it’s come out that the dog was shot multiple times by three cops who also shot the suspect as well. Police, oddly, are still saying they believe the suspect shot the dog even though an investigation found the suspect’s gun hadn’t been fired. He’s now serving time for, well, shooting the dog.
Cops and Kids: Run Children! Run!
Some Philadelphia Pennsylvania Narcotics Strike Force officers are under investigation after they arrested a 13-year-old girl on felony drug charges just because she was wearing a pink sweater similar to one worn by a male suspect they had under surveillance, even though she had no drugs and no record whatsoever. Thankfully a judge recently dismissed the case against her.
A Sarasota Florida cop has been fired for misusing a police database after she allegedly gathered information about a man her cousin’s friend was having a dispute with and that information was then used to commit a violent home invasion that included a 9-year-old and 15-year-old girl being threatened with knives and guns. She won’t face any charges over the incident.
What parts of the police department can be outsourced?
elected weasels
Stop the counties elected weasels from taking money from organizations that represent county workers. Like the cops as an example. It’s just plain common sense.
Look at the policy.
Citizen’s complaints against individual cops must be permanently placed in their files and travel with them throughout their time as county government workers. (Yeah, your complaint against a punk cop gets tossed, its police policy....and yet people are surprised at what creeps we have working for us.
Why?
Look at the policy.
Stop the proactive police crap
Stop the proactive police crap. If we need you, we’ll call you. Otherwise, just sit in your government owned cars, burn gas and sip coffee or anything else you want. We don't care. We really don't. Again, if we need you, we’ll call.
Don’t be a weasel
At this point, the Fairfax County Police office of internal investigations has no credibility. Its only purpose is to protect the department from embarrassment and to foil any outside investigations.
But we pay you to work for us...well to show up and drive around gas guzzlers all day...so we have a right to know what the hell it is your doing.
Create, within that office, a sub office of Citizens Concerns. That’s a nice, non-offensive name, but don’t underestimate the importance of nice, non-offensive names in the public relations war.
Under the office of Citizens Concerns, run a weekly public listing of cops that have been disciplined. You don’t have to publish their names, that’s just going to lead to all sort of trouble. Simply publish what action caused the discipline, what the outcome was and how many prior actions have been taken against the cop in question.
Post it on the county website. The first instinct of the police will be to agree to this and then weasel on it but hiding the report. Don’t be a weasel. Put down the donut and be a civic leader. Place the notices in a place people can find them, under a heading people can recognize.
Fire one cop, hire two teachers
If we’re going to pay these cops the kind of money we pay them, they should be required to hold at least an Assocaites Degree. On average, the cops earn about 20% more than teachers and for far, far less work, yet teachers are required to have at least a bachlors degree.
The Fairfax Police have never experience the brunt of citizen’s outrage
The Fairfax Police have never experience the brunt of citizen’s outrage, which explains most the arrogance of the Bozos who run the department. But all it’s going to take to unleash that outrage is one more suspicious shooting or one more badly executed (pun intended) pro-active police action like this remarkably stupid and probably illegal “war on distracted drivers” and the tinderbox could be lit.
Helping to start that fire is the thug attitude of the street cops that pry on Fairfax County and its citizens. The attitude comes from the top down, and not, as the department would like citizens to believe, from the bottom up. Combine the arrogance from the brass and the piss poor attitude from the much underworked and very, very overpaid street cops and you get the “US versus them” attitude that permeates the department and creates the air of secrecy and hostility that rules over the Fairfax County cops department.
Whatever the outcome of trying to calm the police down and bring them to the table of common sense, their budget has to be cut; their numbers have to be reduced. There is something wrong with a community that fires teaches to save money while the cops have enough manpower, money and time to randomly ticket citizens they think.....think, mind you.... are driving improperly. In budget cutting, release cops first, teachers later. This isn’t rocket science. One is an investment in our future the other is a pending lawsuit and another dead, unarmed citizen.

Here’s a solution
Here’s a solution to solving the punk problem with the Fairfax County Police. Issue the morons kevlar vests with a built in high-definition recording camera to take video footage of every encounter they have with the unsuspecting public. It should be streamed live to the public via the net.

Police found no evidence and no charges were filed, but the family says their reputations were ruined and the suffered trauma when they were held on the ground in front of their home with guns trained on their heads as neighbors looked on.

Officials there are claiming to hold the cash over drug violations, again without any charges being filed whatsoever.
A Portland OR cop with an extensive history of misconduct allegations, many of which have ended with large settlement offers from the city, is now the subject of yet another tort claim alleging he falsely arrested man for questioning him.

This is almost to good to be true
From a man obessed with secrecy, comes THE LIKE SUPER SECRET DIARY OF FAIRFAX COUNTY POLICE CHIEF ROAREER-ER=ER
Dear Diary
We really have to do something about this ugly female cop situation.
To be clear, I’m not say’n their ugly, but in the past we did get a complaint that they makes blind kids cry. One broad got suspended by her supervisors for mooning people from her squad car. Turns out she just had her head out the window.
Then there was that other one that we had to move out of Robbery becuase she’s so ugly the banks kept turning off the cameras when she showed up. On the other hand, no one minds if our females officers park in handicap spaces.....it just seems fair. We gave one woman a dog to work with but it didn’t pan out. She threw the dog a stick once, an ugly stick, damn dog got it and beat her with it.
Which reminds me, we have to get the dog catcher to stop locking up our females officers as strays. On the other hand, when they get sick, we do take them to the vet, so it all kinda works out. We had one on the force who was so ugly her parents named her “Shit happens”. The hospital put tainted windows on her incubator. I heard her mother had to get drunk before she breast fed her.
Then there was that time the ladies held their annual “Day out together” and went down to the national. Bastards refused to let em out. I should have known their was aproblem when we arrived and the zoo keeper thanked me for “Bring’n back the herd” Its sad, they’re all single. Hell, even the calendar wouldn’t give these women a date
Consider becoming a Fairfax County Policewomen
The like really super double secret diary of police chief rorrerer-er
So I go an opening line for my talk with the men and the gals and those oother people that we can’t figure out what they are....I open with the line "The ball is squarely on our shoulders." and I end with “So make sure you always cross your P’s and Q’s”
You know, I have this nagging fear that everyone is out to make me paranoid. I arrested a guy today for resisting arrest.....I know, it doesn’t make sense does it? I tried to pick up that new police woman we hired...I dunno, I assume its a woman, I go “You sure have a great looking tooth.” but...nada, nothing.....oh the hell with it, she smokes like a fish anyway. Still, she really rubs me up the wrong tree.
This morning I discovered I’m very good at opening childproof caps with a hammer. New summer uniform idea that came to me last night ....Black socks with sandals; Yes? No? Man, I’m so busy, I’m puttin in at least twenty hours a week I've just got my feet in too many pies right now.
