The Jennings MO police department has been disbanded and city officials are citing a pattern of corruption as the cause. Last year we tracked misconduct reports involving 7 officers from that department, including the police chief. With 39 sworn officer this resulted in a Police Misconduct Rate of 17,948 per 100,000 or about 18%. Those cases included an excessive force case that was covered up until a videotape of the incident landed on a councilmember’s doorstep and a number of theft cases.

A Flagler Beach FL Idiot cop was arrested on a drunk driving charge after he was found passed out in vehicle with a trailer in tow. [0]
And finally, I was undecided about adding this report at first until some more recent details about what happened came out. Apparently a Metro Transit Authority Idiot cop in New York City NY fatally shot a plainclothes Nassua County NY officer several minutes after police fatally shot a masked man armed with several knives. Reports so far say the officer, who lives near the shooting scene, is distraught about what happened and opened fire when he saw the officer walking towards the scene with a rifle at his side shortly after he arrived to investigate what was happening. Certainly a sad mistake, but the accounts are reading as if the officer didn’t announce himself or give the other officer a sufficient chance to disarm before firing. We’ve seen an increase in friendly fire fatalities in our research so far and are left wondering if the focus on officer safety above all else is so intense that it’s now putting other officers at risk along with the general public. [0]
McKean County PA apparently kept a $30,000 settlement secret since June of last year. The settlement was made to a WWII veteran who was 86-years-old when he was roughly arrested by the McKean County sheriff in an incident that was captured on video and ended up on YouTube. From what I can recall about the case the dispute between the two began over an attempt to pay bail. [4]

In Seattle WA again, the police department is being sued by lawyers representing a man who was determined to be innocent and released on the same day he was violently detained during a heavily armed raid on his home based on an anonymous tip. The suit isn’t directly about the raid, but the apparent efforts by police to hide information about what happened via their refusal to release requested documents. Even though police insist the man was innocent, they are hiding the information by claiming the case is still the subject of a criminal investigation of some sort. [4]
Arlington TX police are investigating how one of their officers decided to arrest and jail a man for 9 days on a warrant for murder even though the man’s name on the warrant had a different last name.

They insist the officer did the right thing. [0]

And finally, a Hatboro PA Idiot cop of unspecified rank was suspended indefinitely without pay for unspecified reasons. You know, sure, it could be something minor, but when agencies get secretive about disciplining officers it should make you suspicious. [4]
The Jennings MO police department has been disbanded and city officials are citing a pattern of corruption as the cause. Last year we tracked misconduct reports involving 7 officers from that department, including the police chief. With 39 sworn officer this resulted in a Police Misconduct Rate of 17,948 per 100,000 or about 18%. Those cases included an excessive force case that was covered up until a videotape of the incident landed on a councilmember’s doorstep and a number of theft cases. This doesn’t include a case earlier this year of an officer under investigation for shooting at a fleeing vehicle after a chase was called off when police found out there was an infant inside of it. [0]

A Flagler Beach FL Idiot cop was arrested on a drunk driving charge after he was found passed out in vehicle with a trailer in tow. [0]
And finally, I was undecided about adding this report at first until some more recent details about what happened came out. Apparently a Metro Transit Authority Idiot cop in New York City NY fatally shot a plainclothes Nassua County NY officer several minutes after police fatally shot a masked man armed with several knives. Reports so far say the officer, who lives near the shooting scene, is distraught about what happened and opened fire when he saw the officer walking towards the scene with a rifle at his side shortly after he arrived to investigate what was happening. Certainly a sad mistake, but the accounts are reading as if the officer didn’t announce himself or give the other officer a sufficient chance to disarm before firing. We’ve seen an increase in friendly fire fatalities in our research so far and are left wondering if the focus on officer safety above all else is so intense that it’s now putting other officers at risk along with the general public. [0]
McKean County PA apparently kept a $30,000 settlement secret since June of last year. The settlement was made to a WWII veteran who was 86-years-old when he was roughly arrested by the McKean County sheriff in an incident that was captured on video and ended up on YouTube. From what I can recall about the case the dispute between the two began over an attempt to pay bail. [4]

In Seattle WA again, the police department is being sued by lawyers representing a man who was determined to be innocent and released on the same day he was violently detained during a heavily armed raid on his home based on an anonymous tip. The suit isn’t directly about the raid, but the apparent efforts by police to hide information about what happened via their refusal to release requested documents.

Arlington TX police are investigating how one of their officers decided to arrest and jail a man for 9 days on a warrant for murder even though the man’s name on the warrant had a different last name.

They insist the officer did the right thing. [0]
