We called the Fairfax County police for help....the punks they sent threatened to arrest us. One cop tells my wife that if she keeps crying he'll arrest her and the other cop, La Forge or something, says to me "You call the police this what you get"
I said that was wrong and he said
"Go ahead, say more fuck'n thing prick" and I thought "Well if you insist".

“It’s becoming a disturbingly familiar scene in America - mentally unstable cops”
Fairfax County officer fatally
shoots man during fight at homeless shelter.
The gun happy Fairfax County police shot and
killed another citizen. Just like the killing of the unarmed John Geer in Springfield
earlier this year, nothing will become of this.
This is as far as this story is going to go. In the end, once again, the
Fairfax County cops will investigate the Fairfax County cops and find the
Fairfax County harmless in the incident.
The news says that the
department’s Criminal Investigations Bureau and an Internal Affairs unit are
investigating the incident….so what? The results will never be
made public even though the public has paid the cops ($300 million) for those
results.
Just like
the killing of John Geer in Springfield earlier this year, nothing is will
become of this. This is as far as this
story is going to go. In the end, once again, the Fairfax County cops will
investigate the Fairfax County cops and find the Fairfax County harmless in the
incident
The
Fairfax County cops bank on the fact that the electronic media probably won’t
report the story and if they do it will get, perhaps, 15 seconds of air time, and,
since TV news doesn’t do follow stories, the cops are safe on that front. The
print media, which has done an excellent job holding the Fairfax County Police
accountable for their butchering, could be a problem for the cops on this, so Internal
Affairs, whose primary job is not to establish the truth but to protect the
department from bad publicity, will stall the issue for a few years and
eventually even the print media will forget about it.
Just like the killing of John Geer in Springfield
earlier this year, nothing is will become of this. This is as far as this story is going to go. In
the end, once again, the Fairfax County cops will investigate the Fairfax
County cops and find the Fairfax County harmless in the incident
The County’s elected officials cower at the
thought of confronting the cops and won’t dare raise the issue, besides; the
guy they killed this time was homeless and probably mentally ill, so he was of
no value to elected officials. Think we’re wrong about that? Watch and see because not one of them will
raise a squeek over this.
In the end, once again, the Fairfax County cops
will investigate the Fairfax County cops and find the Fairfax County harmless
in the incident. But that’s an old story and not really relevant.
The real
story isn’t in the cop’s willingness to gun people down. The real story is in
the departmental culture of contempt that tells the cops its okay to shoot
first and think later.
SOMERSET, Ky. (WKYT) - Pulling people over is a part of Sergeant Jason Griffith's job as an officer for the Somerset Police Department, but having the lights behind him is another story.
"Well, the case is fresh and we don't have all of the facts in front of us just yet," said Attorney Scott Foster, representing Sgt. Griffith.
According to the arrest citation, which we acquired courtesy of the Commonwealth Journal, Sgt. Griffith was arrested by a Department of Fish and Wildlife officer Sunday night on suspicion of driving under the influence.
"It obviously bothers him and upsets him that he's taken away from his career over this," answered Foster on Griffith's behalf.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife says Officer Lucas Tucker was on his way home when he noticed a truck driving all over Highway 80 in Pulaski County. Tucker attempted to stop the truck, but the Department of Fish and Wildlife says the truck ignored Officer Tucker. The truck finally stopped at the Somerset city limit. The arrest citation says Griffith was "crossing all lanes, going into the grass and shoulder on both sides of the road.". The report said Tucker could smell an odor of alcoholic beverage and that Sgt. Griffith was reportedly swaying outside his truck. The report said Griffith refused his field sobriety test and breath test.
Foster has a lot of questions about the validity of the arrest. "I've got to do some research on the topic, but there are some questions about the authority of a fish and wildlife officer to enforce the criminal laws in the State of Kentucky."
The Department of Fish and Wildlife say they have jurisdiction statewide and explain that they can act in "life threatening situations." The Department of Fish and Wildlife said Officer Tucker called the Somerset Police in to assist, and once on scene they identified the driver as Sgt. Griffith. A spokesman for the Fish and Wildlife said the Somerset Police requested that Officer Tucker complete his arrest report.
"There's some statutory language that tends to indicate they may not," added Foster.
At this time, Foster explained that Sgt. Griffith is on paid administrative leave, per department policy, and he said the 20-year vet has an otherwise sterling career.
"There's been no prior issues with him, no prior arrests or criminal complaints, or no other issues of that nature," said Foster.
However there's another twist, Foster said he is investigating a claim of a prior incident between Sgt. Griffith and the arresting officer.
"There is an indication that in the past Mr. Griffith stopped this gentleman and cited him," adding, "I don't know if there's an animus between the two."
While there is still more to sort out, Foster said the sergeant will have his day in court on November 18th, Foster said his client will enter a "not guilty" plea.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Brown University may have to consider changing its policies on public lectures after New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was shouted down by community members and students as he tried to give a speech about his department's stop-and-frisk policy, a spokeswoman for the Ivy League school said Wednesday.
Spokeswoman Marisa Quinn said it is valuable to have such events open to the public, but they need to be conducted as a free exchange of ideas. Both Brown students and members of the general public disrupted the event, she said.
Brown President Christina Paxson said in a letter to Brown students, faculty and staff that she planned to contact Kelly to "convey my deepest regret for the manner in which he was treated." Quinn said Wednesday the two have spoken.
Paxson also called a meeting of the Brown community Wednesday evening.
Kelly declined to comment Tuesday and again Wednesday through spokesmen for the New York Police Department.
The NYPD contends stop and frisk has made the city safer. But a federal judge recently ruled the practice of stopping individuals who the police think look suspicious violated the civil rights of minorities. The city is appealing.
Kelly had just begun to speak Tuesday when protesters began shouting and would not let him continue. The disruption went on for about 30 minutes before university officials put an end to the event and cleared the room.
Students opposed to Kelly's visit first petitioned the university to cancel the lecture, said Jenny Li, a Brown student who helped organize the protest. When the university did not cancel the event, "we decided to cancel it for them," Li said. She called the protest "a powerful demonstration of free speech."
Brown's public lectures are typically free and open to the larger community, and protests have disrupted talks there before. A few years ago, a man who did not attend Brown threw something at then-Rep. Patrick Kennedy during a talk. In another instance, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman had a cream pie thrown in his face by two people, at least one of whom was a student. In both those instances, the talks continued.
Ross Cheit, a Brown professor and member of the faculty at its Taubman Center for Public Policy, which hosted the lecture, said that while Kelly expected some protests, he appeared to be taken by surprise that he wasn't allowed to speak.
Also, contrary to what some demonstrators claimed Tuesday, Kelly was not paid for his appearance and was never going to get an honorarium, Cheit said.
Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare, who attended the Tuesday event, said Wednesday he wanted to hear Kelly speak and was disappointed he didn't get to hear him answer questions about the NYPD practice.
"When you shut people down, whether you're pro or con, we all lose as a community," Pare said.
Pare said his own department had discussed practicing stop and frisk after a rash of shootings, but eventually rejected the idea.
"From some readings and some perspectives, it has been successful at reducing crime, but at what cost?" he said.
The Associated Press on Wednesday attempted to contact several people involved in the protest, but they either did not return messages or they declined to comment.
A Pennsylvania man is suing the Roxbury Police Department and two of its officers, claiming he was falsely arrested after they deliberately ignored part of a recorded telephone message.
Joe Paszkowski, 65, of Columbus, Pa., was charged with threatening to kill by means of hanging, but the charge was dropped after a Morris County grand jury returned a “no bill” and refused to indict him, according to court records.
The suit says that in the recorded message in April that resulted in his arrest, Paszkowski told a person in Roxbury, “I’m going to hang both of you … so bad. I’m coming up to New Jersey … I’m going to … have a prosecutor look into the case for what you did.”
But in his reports, Officer John Sylvester included only the first part of the message, and “deliberately and maliciously” left out the second part mentioning the prosecutor, said Paszkowski’s attorney, Joel Rachmiel.
Those words “clearly negate any threat to kill another by hanging,” Rachmiel said.
Paszkowski says he was arrested and held at a jail in Pennsylvania, where the “stress and anxiety” caused by the “baseless charge” made him suffer breathing problems, which necessitated his hospitalization.
DURANT, OK -- A Durant Police officer charged with driving under the influence of alcohol pleaded not guilty Wednesday.
OHP says 36-year-old Brandon Carbaugh crashed his pickup truck on State Highway 91 earlier this month.
Troopers say he was arrested and taken to MCSO, but was not booked into jail because he was injured.
Durant Police say he is on administrative leave.
Carbaugh is set to appear in court for a disposition December 12th.
Police at a Massachusetts college campus last week filed a criminal complaint against a law school student who is also a part-time Armstrong County police officer after guns were discovered in the on-campus apartment where he was staying.
William DeForte, 42, of Clinton will be notified by summons by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Department of Public Safety to appear for arraignment on charges of carrying a firearm without a university license and storing his handguns and ammunition improperly.
It is illegal in Massachusetts for anyone to bring a gun onto a college campus, even if they are a police officer, without dispensation from the public safety chief, according to John Hoey, assistant chancellor of public affairs.
A Skokie, Ill. police officer has been charged with felony aggravated battery and official misconduct after he was captured pushing a female arrestee into a jail cell, resulting in the woman sustaining multiple serious facial injuries.
According to Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez, officer Michael Hart, 43, of Gurnee, Ill., "became irate" after helping with the fingerprinting and photographing of 47-year-old Cassandra Fuerstein and shoved the 110-pound Chicago woman into a concrete bench during her March 10 arrest on DUI charges, ABC Chicago reports. Fuerstein had been disregarding Hart's commands, prosecutors say. The attack shattered several bones in Fuerstein's face and the woman required reconstructive surgery including a titanium plate in her cheek, according to NBC Chicago. She also has had vision and dental problems since the shoving. Video of the shoving was released earlier this month by Feuerstein's attorney, Torreya Hamilton, after Feuerstein filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the officer. The video prompted an outcry and over 1,000 people signed a Change.org petition calling for Hart's arrest. Hart was ordered held on $75,000 bond and faces up to five years in prison if convicted. Hart's attorney, Jed Stone, told the Chicago Tribune his client "cannot believe after 19 years of serving Skokie that his career has come to an arrest. … I don't think pushing her into a cell is a crime." As a result of the charges, Skokie officials have put Hart on administrative leave while they complete an internal investigation that could lead to disciplinary action, Patch reports. Hart filed a complaint against Feuerstein after the incident for resisting a peace officer. Those charges were later dismissed after Cook County prosecutors reviewed the evidence. Feuerstein pleaded guilty to drunk driving.
A Macedon police officer has been suspended without pay after allegedly stealing money from the bargaining unit representing the town’s police officers and removing and using a piece of evidence from the department.
Macedon Police said Edward O'Konsky, 38, of Farmington, alleged stole nearly $2,200 from the Macedon Association of Police Officers over the course of a year.
O'Konsky is charged with fourth-degree grand larceny, first-degree falsifying business records, official misconduct, two counts of tampering with physical evidence and petit larceny. He was arraigned on the charges and is due back in court next month.
WINDSOR— An off-duty Hartford police sergeant who accidentally fired his gun through the wall of his home and into the bedroom of a 12-year-old girl in the neighboring house is not facing criminal charges.
The neighbors of Sgt. Eric Smith's neighbors were satisfied with an apology, according to Capt. Tom LePore of the Windsor Police Department.
"There was no desire on the part of the victim to have an arrest made," LePore said. "As a matter of fact they said they did not want their neighbor to be arrested for that."
According to an incident report from Windsor, a resident of Village Lane called police on Sept. 25 after his daughter found a bullet in her bed. The daughter told police that three days earlier she had discovered a hole in her bedroom wall just underneath the window.
Police examined the bullet hole and determined the shot came from a southerly direction. An officer then went to Smith's residence, which is just south of the caller's house.
Smith told Windsor police that on the evening of Sept. 24, he was in his bedroom unloading his off-duty handgun when he accidentally fired one shot, the incident report states. Smith said he checked the hole in his bedroom wall with a screwdriver and thought the bullet had stayed inside the wall. He also said he checked outside for evidence that the bullet had exited the wall and found none, according to the report. Windsor police spoke with a sergeant from Hartford police Internal Affairs division, who stated that the "situation would be addressed internally," the report states.
The case was closed by Windsor police, though the report gives no explanation of the discrepancy between when Smith reported the accidental shot and when the girl reported finding the bullet hole. The report does not indicate whether anyone was inside the neighbor's home at the time of the shot.
LePore said that although Smith could have been charged with reckless endangerment or unlawful discharge of a weapon, he did not receive special treatment.
An internal affairs investigation into the matter is almost complete, but disciplinary action against Smith has not been determined, said Lt. Brian Foley, head of the Hartford police Major Crimes division. The investigation is currently in the "command review stage," Foley said.
Although no criminal charges were filed, LePore said this sort of incident should have been reported immediately.
"I can't actually understand why he didn't report it to his agency, number one, or how he didn't see that it penetrated his house," LePore said. "I mean those are all very good questions."
A Westminster police officer accidentally shot a mirror last month while dressing for his shift in a locker room at the police station. No one was injured and the department is conducting an internal administrative review of the incident, according to Chief Jeff Spaulding.
On Sept. 15, Officer Elias Cuadro, a two-year member of the department, was changing from his civilian clothes into his uniform when the gun discharged as he went to holster the pistol, according to Spaulding.
“It is apparent that he inadvertently placed his finger on the trigger while holstering the weapon, causing the gun to discharge,” Spaulding said.
The mirror was damaged and had to be replaced, costing $386, according to Spaulding.
Cuadro has not been placed on leave and will keep his police powers while the investigation takes place, Spaulding said.This is the second time a firearm was accidentally discharged in approximately the last 10 years, according to Spaulding. The other incident occurred in October 2010.
BRYAN COUNTY, OK --
According to online court records a Durant Police Officer has been charged with
"Driving a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol".
Records show that on
Friday a letter was sent to 36-year-old Brandon Carbaugh notifying him of the
charge. Nearly two weeks ago, OHP says, while off duty, he crashed a pickup on
State Highway 91 in Bryan County. Troopers say he failed a field sobriety test
and was arrested and taken to MCSO with arm and leg injuries. Authorities say
he was not booked into jail because he did not receive a medical release. At
last check, Durant Police told News 12 that Carbaugh was put on paid
administrative leave.
BRYANT, Ark. —
The police chief in Bryant has been suspended for five days for seeking
reimbursement for a steak dinner purchased at a Florida strip club.
Bryant Mayor Jill Dabbs says Chief Mark Kizer will begin serving his unpaid
suspension next week. This week, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that
Kizer and school resource officer Lee Ledbetter were each reimbursed for steak
dinners from a restaurant connected to an upscale strip club in Orlando, Fla.
They were in Florida for a work conference on school resource officers.
The newspaper reports ( http://bit.ly/19DwDrH) that the council also approved spending
$20,000 for an audit of its city finances, including travel expenses.
Kizer had no immediate comment Thursday night but said earlier that he and
Ledbetter visited the steakhouse at the recommendation of their hotel
concierge.
An internal
investigation stemming from a dispute between a supervisor and a patrolman has
led to a three-day suspension for a third officer at Vermilion Police
Department.
Last month,
administrators began probing the rift between Vermilion police Sgt. Aaron
Bolton and Officer Craig Howell.
The
long-running feud centered on Howell’s relationship with his own girlfriend and
Bolton’s disapproval of the relationship, according to internal police
documents the Register obtained through a public records request.
Bolton
also accused Howell of profiling women by age and appearance during traffic
stops, according to the documents.
After
speaking to Howell about the allegations, police supervisors determined they
were unfounded.
In
a formal complaint dated Sept. 10, Howell said his friction with Bolton started
in April. That’s when Howell started dating a woman who was friends with Bolton
and Bolton’s wife, according to the complaint. Bolton made it clear he didn’t
approve of Howell’s relationship with the woman, the document stated.
Other
events transpired in the months that followed, but Howell never made a formal
complaint — that is, until Bolton sent an email to the commander of Erie County’s
Special Response Team. The email suggested Howell wasn’t suited for the unit.
At
that point, Howell sent his supervisors a three-page letter detailing his
formal complaints against Bolton. In short, he accused
Bolton of various misdeeds, such as providing Howell’s private address to a
resident during a police ride-along, and making false allegations about
misconduct. He also accused Bolton of namecalling and defamation, among other
things.
Supervisors
interviewed Bolton, Howell and a third officer, David Jones, about the
allegations.
The
bulk of the investigation’s findings have since been sent to Vermilion law
director Ken Stumphauzer for review.
Jones
was suspended for three days. Police documents show Jones played a part in
driving a police ride-along passenger past Howell’s home. The passenger was
previously engaged to Howell’s girlfriend.
“While the lion’s
share of the blame for that incident rests on another’s shoulders, you still
bear your share of the blame for failing to recognize a malicious and
inappropriate act and partaking in it,” police Chief Chris Hartung wrote in a
disciplinary letter to Jones. “You and you alone answer for your integrity and
cannot allow your actions to be guided by those of questionable character.”
FORT WAYNE, Indiana — The judge in the reckless homicide and drunken driving trial of an Indianapolis police officer has ruled that police emails with daily summaries of the proceedings didn't reveal anything unduly prejudicial against the defense.
Allen County Judge John Surbeck declined Tuesday to strike the testimony of a police captain who had read the emails before being called as a witness in the trial of David Bisard.
Surbeck also denied a request for a directed verdict by defense attorney John Kautzman after he argued the state failed to prove its case against Bisard.
Bisard is on trial for charges stemming from an August 2010 crash into two motorcycles that killed a man and seriously injured two other people.
Surbeck estimates the case will go to the jury for deliberations on Monday.
A decision on whether
or not the suspension of a Dothan police officer was justified is more than a
month away.
In Judge Butch
Binford’s courtroom today, Corporal Raemonica Carney went up against the City
of Dothan. In May, Carney was suspended for 10 days and put on desk duty after
the personnel board found controversial Facebook posts made by Carney violated
the Police Department’s social media policy.
The posts made by
Carney were about former Los Angeles Police Officer Christopher Dorner who went
on a killing spree in February before killing himself.
Carney’s attorney,
Sonya Edwards, stated that the suspension was a violation of Carney’s first
amendment rights, while the city’s attorney Kevan Kelly argued that substantial
evidence was presented at the personnel board making the suspension fair.
Judge Binford did not
rule today, he gave the city 21 days to submit a case brief. Then Carney’s
attorney will have 14 days to respond. Once the response is in, Judge Binford
will decide if the personnel board was equipped to make the ruling or if the
case should go before an appeals court.
HATTIESBURG, MS (WDAM) -
A Hattiesburg police officer is on suspension indefinitely for reportedly
refusing to apologize to Mayor Johnny DuPree regarding a traffic incident last
week.
Sources both inside and outside HPD tell News Seven that the
officer apparently sounded his siren after pulling up behind a car blocking the
right-of-way on Hall Avenue . The driver of the car was talking to an occupant
of another car that was pulled off on the shoulder of the road. We're
told the occupant of that second car was Mayor DuPree. We're also told the
driver of the car blocking the road pulled onto the shoulder allowing the
officer to pass.
According to individuals with knowledge of the case, Chief Frazier
Bolton suspended the officer after he refused an order to apologize to the
mayor. HPD spokesman, Lt. Jon Traxler, confirmed the officer was
suspended for insubordination but refused to discuss details of the
incident. Traxler says the officer will remain suspended until internal
affairs completes their investigation.
Remember pepper spray cop? He's the campus police officer at the University of California, Davis who decided to handle a seated line of peaceful, non-threatening Occupy demonstrators in the most rational way he could: by calmly firing a stream of pepper spray directly into their eyes from close range, like a landscape gardener squirting pesticide at some overgrown flowerbeds.
At first, everyone was outraged at Officer John Pike's blasé manner of temporarily blinding peaceful protesters, then the internet got involved, turned the image into meme—photoshopping Pike into basically every pop culture image ever created—and everyone kind of forgot about it. Until last week, when it emerged that he has been awarded $38,000 in workers compensation by California's Department of Industrial Relations—more than the $30,000 each of his victims received—for the "psychiatric injuries" he's experienced since that day in November of 2011. UC Davis will foot the bill, in addition to the $70,000 the school paid him in salary while he was on adminstrative leave.

New York suddenly has a list of “Shopping While Black” scandals unfolding. After high-end department Barneys was accused of racial profiling by a pair of young people, a rising Hollywood actor had a similar situation happen to him over the summer at Macy's. Rob Brown, 29, says that after buying his mother a $1,350 watch for her graduation, plainclothes officers accused the star of HBO's Treme for possessing a fake card back in June.
With the recent slamming of Barneys by Trayvon Christian and Kayla Phillips for being accused of grand larceny as Brown was, things aren't going well for the retail giants in the big city. Brown sat down with the New York Daily News, and spoke on the incident that landed him in cuffs and late for his mother's graduation.
The Finding Forrester actor is suing Macy's for unspecified damages, and also reached out to Christian regarding his case. From the Daily News: Brown, who made his movie debut starring opposite Sean Connery in 2000's “Finding Forrester,” says he'd been shopping at Macy's flagship store because he wanted to buy a graduation present for his mother, Myra, who received a degree from Metropolitan Community College. He settled on a $1,350 silver Movado watch with gold trim.
Brown said he purchased the last one, the display model, and strolled over to a Sunglass Hut in the store while he was waiting for it to be cleaned. He said he saw some $350 Prada shades he liked and was also going to buy those — but while he was waiting for them to be tightened, he was suddenly swarmed by “at least three” plainclothes officers. Brown, a Brooklyn native, thought at one point he was being robbed before he says the cops paraded him around the store, and taking him to a holding cell where he was held for 45 minutes.
After the cops checked Brown's records, the actor says an officer took him to his mother's graduation which he says he was late for. “To be late for my mother's graduation ceremony — that was devastating,” Brown said. Brown vented on Twitter in June after the incident, clearly angered for getting fingered for a crime he didn't commit. On Wednesday (Oct. 23), Brown reached out to his followers to connect him Christian. Hit the gallery to see photos of Brown speaking with the Daily News, and showcasing some of his acting roles. -- -
HOLLYWOOD — DiIvory Edgecomb, a Hollywood cop and former star running back for the Florida Atlantic Owls, was arrested by his own department on DUI charges in September and immediately relieved of duty with pay. Edgecomb, 27, was placed on administrative leave Sept. 30, the day of his arrest.
As is customary, he was forced to turn in his badge, department-issued gun and squad car, said Lt. Osvaldo Perez.
FORT WAYNE, Indiana — A chemist who ran the Swedish government's forensic lab for 30 years testified Friday that the blood test that indicated a suspended Indianapolis police officer was legally drunk at the time of a fatal accident was accurate.
Alan Wayne Jones estimated that David Bisard, who faces reckless homicide and other charges, probably had eight to 10 drinks the night before the crash and perhaps two more in the morning to "steady his nerves," The Indianapolis Star reported (http://indy.st/169xVdu ).
The blood tests on Bisard after the crash in his patrol car that killed Eric Wells and badly injured two others in 2010 have been central to the case. Prosecutors were allowed to present test results from two vials of blood taken from Bisard after the crash, despite defense arguments that one wasn't properly drawn according to Indiana law and the other was mishandled by police evidence technicians who removed it from refrigerated storage.
Tests showed Bisard had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19, which is more than twice Indiana's legal limit of 0.08 percent. The Indiana Supreme Court in ruled in December that the blood tests could be admitted into evidence.
PALMER PARK, Md. — Prince George’s County police say an officer has been suspended from duty after he crashed his cruiser while under the influence of alcohol. Police say Cpl. Rodney Lewis was off-duty and wasn’t acting in a law enforcement capacity at the time of the crash, which occurred early Friday morning on the Capital Beltway in northern Virginia.
DALLAS -
The Dallas police officer who shot a mentally ill man in a disputed incident caught on tape was fired Thursday.
Police Chief David Brown also announced Officer Cardan Spencer would be charged with first degree aggravated assault. But a judge reportedly refused to sign the arrest warrant and now the case will be referred to a grand jury.
Spencer was fired for violating DPD's deadly force policy and its procedures on mentally ill people. Spencer had a hearing on Thursday morning.
"We are not going to sweep officer misconduct under the rug," Brown said at a press conference. "An officer's actions must reasonable and necessary."
A police report said Bobby Bennett, 52, threatened Spencer and another officer with a knife last week and then Spencer fired his gun at him.
But video captured by a neighbor's camera shows Bennett didn't appear to move toward the officers at all until he crumpled to the ground from a gunshot.
Bennett's mother, Joyce Jackson, said her son suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. He is still hospitalized recovering from the shooting. "I hope this situation will help the police with training in dealing with the mentally ill," she said.
She's hoping for a harsher punishment for Officer Cardan Spencer. "Officers are not above the law, okay," said Jackson.
Chief Brown said Bennett told detectives he was suicidal and wanted officers to kill him. He had a similar run in with cops in Euless in 1998.
Police will continue to investigate the second officer involved in the case. Although Officer Christopher Watson did not fire his weapon, he was the one who filed the police report.
The chief said Watson has admitted to remembering things out of order or that didn't happen, possibly because of the stress of the situation.
He will remain on restricted duty until the investigation is complete.
Officer Spencer was very emotional and expressed regret about what happened, the chief said.
"Cops are not superhuman. They have fear. But that fear has to be real," Brown said.
"He was very upset like anyone would expect, very disappointed and feels very betrayed by the department," said President of the Dallas Police Association Ron Pinkston.
The FBI is also investigating the case to determine if Bennett's civil rights were violated.
A 24-year veteran officer was charged with filing vouchers for work he never performed, collecting over $4,000 in the process.
The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office announced the indictment of a Milltown police lieutenant Thursday on charges of filing overtime vouchers and collecting money for work he never performed.
Douglas R. Cole, 47, is facing charges for theft by deception, official misconduct, engaging in a pattern of official misconduct, and tampering with public records or information.
According to the prosecutor's office, between Dec. 5, 2011 and July 19, 2012, Cole allegedly filed vouchers for payment on work that he never performed for 17 different jobs while working for the borough. He received a total of $4,920.30 in monetary compensation for the vouchers, the prosecutor's office said.
Cole, a 24-year veteran of the force, is also alleged to have collected more than $200 for 16 of the 17 jobs he claimed to have been working, which established an official pattern of misconduct, according to the prosecutor's office.
PANAMA CITY - A former Panama City Police Officer is charged with battery for spraying a shoplifting suspect in the face with pepper spray.
Cpl. Bernie Willburn retired last month after the Florida Department of Law Enforcement launched an investigation into the incident that was caught on his dashboard camera.
In a video the girl seen in the back seat is Veronica Bowles. According to the FDLE's investigative summary, obtained by Newschannel 7, she was arrested June 25 after she stole $3.55 worth of ice cream from the downtown marina's Ship's store.
Stanley Jones, the Marina Director, flagged down two officers on Segways after he says he watched Bowles take the ice cream, walk across the parking lot and start eating it.
When officers approached Bowles at the bus stop, she said you're here to "f**k with me" about the ice cream and then offered to pay for it. But it was too later. Jones wanted to press charges. Bowles said they would regret, then threw change and her sunglasses on the ground. She then stomped on the sunglasses, breaking them into pieces.
The officers placed her in cuffs and Bowles started kicking them.
Willburn arrived on the scene and placed Bowles in his patrol car. She started kicking in the back seat and then spit on Wilburn before he could close the divider.
Bowles continued to kick and scream, despite several warnings from Wilburn that he would pepper spray her if she didn't calm down. After four and a half minutes, Wilburn opened the door and sprayed her in the face.
Wilburn said that's how he was trained to handle the situation and that he followed PCPD policy.
But the FDLE determined Wilburn's actions were not justified and that there was enough probable cause to charge him with battery if Bowles filed a complaint.
Bowles filed a complaint September 30. Wilburn was later charged with simple battery.
Bowles was charged with retail theft and battery on a law enforcement officer.
An Ocala Police Department officer was arrested Friday on a warrant for forging a woman's name on a traffic ticket.
Officer Daniel Fitzpatrick -- a three-year officer with nothing but good reviews and commendations in his record -- turned himself in on the third-degree felony charge of uttering a forged instrument.
Authorities gave no motive for the alleged crime.
The case came to light on Oct. 17, when Shautauqua Scott, 36, of Ocala, came to OPD to ask about a notice to appear in court on a citation for driving while her license is suspended, according to an arrest affidavit. She said the officer had given her a warning, not a ticket.
OPD Sgt. Chas Maier reviewed a video of the traffic stop, in which police say Fitzpatrick told the driver she was getting a warning. Maier also viewed the ticket at the Clerk of Courts Office and interviewed Scott, who said she never signed a citation.
On Friday, Scott said she has seen a copy of the ticket and that the signature on it is not hers.
"He tried to get it close to it," she added.
If her sister hadn't noticed the case online, Scott said, she would have missed the court date and had a warrant for her arrest
Members of the community gathered once again to demand justice for Kayla Moore, a transgender individual who died in Berkeley Police Department custody in February, by presenting a report to the city’s Police Review Commission on Wednesday night.
In its report, Berkeley Copwatch highlighted allegations of police misconduct and a dearth of mental crisis services that it said contributed to the death of Moore, who had a history of mental health issues. About 50 people, in addition to six commissioners and four Berkeley police officers, attended the meeting.
In the eight months since Moore’s death, the three-member People’s Investigation — a partner of Berkeley Copwatch — has probed and analyzed what transpired about midnight Feb. 13.
Close to tears and in a shaky voice, Moore’s sister Maria Moore said to the commission, “The (People’s Investigation) report is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever read.”
The investigation included interviews with witnesses and residents, reviews of BPD documentation and research on nationwide trends of similar incidents. It recommends disciplinary action be taken against officers who were present at the time of Moore’s death and policy changes be made in how police handle mental health crises.
Police officers have dangerous jobs. When they stop a car or search a house, they never know whether a drug-crazed person will open fire at close range. The tragedy of two state troopers killed in their squad car beside I-79 in Clay County last year provides grim evidence.
Dealing with violent drunks, stoned pillheads, raging ex-husbands and the like creates emotional tension. It takes a rare personality for an officer to remain calm and professional during such confrontations.
Unfortunately, some officers fail the test. An endless string of lawsuits accuse West Virginia police of severe beatings and other misconduct that cost taxpayers millions in settlements. While wearing guns and possessing legal authority to kill, a few officers lose control.
For example, Trooper Gary Messenger II was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for the savage beating of a Welch man, who was awarded $1 million by taxpayers.
For example, South Charleston troopers beat lawyer Roger Wolfe so badly that spinal fluid came out his nose, and $200,000 damages were paid to the victim.
For example, four recent lawsuits accused troopers in Logan County of an ugly string of brutal attacks. One report said taxpayers shelled out $91,000 for state lawyers defending against the allegations.
For example, a State Police report said 13 troopers were fired for misconduct in 2009, and 19 others resigned to avoid discipline. Of 226 accusations against troopers that year, roughly half were sustained by department examiners.
Back in 1990, a teenage Lincoln County boy complained that a trooper beat him with fists and clubbed him with a heavy flashlight. This case reached the state Supreme Court, which ruled in 1995 that all State Police complaints must be examined impartially by a neutral party. As a result, the department created a Central Log of Complaints -- but it has remained concealed in secrecy.
In a democracy, the public is entitled to know what government agencies do and how taxpayer money is spent. The Charleston Gazette has fought numerous court battles that forced public actions -- such as ethics rulings against lawyers and doctors, or restaurant inspection scores, or the outcome of lawsuits alleging misconduct by government officials -- to be revealed to the people.
When State Police refused to disclose matters in the Central Log of Complaints, the Gazette sued to bring this public information into the sunshine. Police leaders said such a disclosure would violate the privacy of troopers -- even if each trooper's name was blacked out.
Now this suit is before the state Supreme Court. The newspaper's attorney argued that revealing complaints against troopers is no different than revealing complaints against lawyers and doctors -- two examples in which the court previously ordered disclosure.
We hope the five high court justices will let West Virginians know this vital information about their armed officers.
The rallies were held in over 30 US cities, including in New York and Los Angeles, where local activist groups gathered to bring awareness to the importance of stopping police violence, Al-Alam reported.
Organizers say that the aim of such demonstrations have been to bring forward a united, powerful and visual coalition supporting individuals and families victimized by police brutality in the US.
Participants say they gather each year to bring about change for their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, one they rightfully deserve - freedom, justice, equality and respect.
Numerous human rights observers have raised concerns about increased police brutality in the country in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
An extensive report prepared for the United Nations Human Rights Committee tabled in 2006 states that in the US, the "War on Terror" has "created a generalized climate of impunity for law enforcement officers, and contributed to the erosion of what few accountability mechanisms exist for civilian control over law enforcement agencies".
"As a result, police brutality and abuse persist unabated and undeterred across the country," the report said.
Studies have shown that most police brutality goes unreported and the process of filing a complaint is difficult and often intimidating.
Abner Louima, the Haitian immigrant who was sodomized by cops in a Brooklyn police station bathroom in 1997 is returning to the borough — to stump for a new district attorney.
Louima will appear with Brooklyn DA Democratic nominee Ken Thompson and Rev. Al Sharpton on Saturday, which will be followed up with a series of church visits across the borough on Sunday, a spokesman for Thompson’s campaign said Thursday.
A U.S. District Court judge this week denied a motion to dismiss a civil lawsuit claiming that former police officer Evan Cossette used excessive force against a prisoner and interfered with his medical needs during an arrest in October 2010.
Robert Methvin filed a federal lawsuit in 2011 against Cossette claiming the officer used his knee to strike him in the mouth after he was handcuffed and lying face down on concrete. Methvin suffered cuts to his mouth and face that required sutures.
Cossette, son of Police Chief Jeffry Cossette, asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit because Methvin had pleaded guilty to interfering with police during his arrest, and because police officers are allowed some discretionary use of force when handling combative subjects.
Hollywood Fla. Police officer was arrested by his own agency after he crashed into another car while under the influence of alcohol, officials said.
DiIvory Edgecomb, 27, was charged with DUI and damage property after the Sept. 30th crash, an arrest report said.
Officers first received the call at 1:37 a.m. after a woman named Shantrice Shipman said a car traveling southbound in the northbound lane of North 22nd Avenue at Pershing Street had crashed into the passenger side of her car, the report said. She told police he did not stop after the crash and continued to drive southbound.
An officer patrolling the area located Edgecomb on North 22nd Avenue and Simms Street where he was pulled over in a well-lit business area with fresh damage to his car, including a flat front tire, police said.
The report described Edgecomb's "eyes to be bloodshot and watery and the arrestee had the slight odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath."
After being placed in custody, officials said Edgecomb refused to take sobriety and submit a breath sample for alcohol testing.
ST. LOUIS • A St. Louis police officer who was arrested in July 2012 for burglarizing a home while he was drunk and off-duty has pleaded guilty to a trespass charge.Andrew Perez, 30, pleaded guilty this week to the misdemeanor. He was given a suspended imposition of sentence and ordered to be on probation for two years. Perez was originally charged with burglary, a felony. But his defense team negotiated a deal with the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s office for the lesser charge.
On July 15, 2012, a Sunday, a resident of the Clifton Heights neighborhood awoke about 3:30 a.m. to find a stranger in the house, emptying a purse. The victim told police that he, his girlfriend and his three children were sleeping at home in the 6200 block of Bowman Avenue when he heard a noise, found the man and forced him to leave. Police arrested a drunk and disoriented Perez down the street and later learned that he was an off-duty police officer. He was suspended from the force without pay and charged the next day with burglary.
A Baltimore police officer has been sentenced to eight years in prison on drug and weapons charges.
Thirty-six-year-old Kendell Richburg had pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy to distribute heroin and possession of a firearm to further drug trafficking. He was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Baltimore.
Prosecutors say Richburg told a drug dealer when it was safe to sell drugs, and in return, the dealer gave information about his customers so Richburg could arrest them.
BERTHOUD - A Berthoud police officer was arrested Wednesday on four charges of child abuse and one of false imprisonment, according to Loveland Police Department.
Jeremy Yachik, 35, is free on a $1,500 cash bond after Loveland police came to his home with a warrant.
A big part of the investigation focuses on a video recorded by Yachik's ex-fiance, Ashley St. Roberts, 26. According to an arrest affidavit, the video shows officer Yachik abusing his 15-year-old daughter because she ate carrots from the refrigerator.
Yachik is accused of choking, force feeding, binding her hands with zip ties, locking her in rooms, handcuffing her and restricting her from eating. He's also accused of forcing his daughter to eat ghost peppers for lying and confining her in a dark laundry room.
According to the affidavit, Officer Yachik admits to hitting his daughter and restricting her from eating food. He's not the only officer in Berthoud who is being investigated. The town's top cop, Police Chief Glenn Johnson, is on paid administrative leave right now while Loveland Police conduct a criminal investigation on him. St. Roberts has accused Chief Johnson of covering up the video, the affidavit says.
No charges had been filed against Johnson by Wednesday, according to Larimer County District Attorney's Office. Loveland police have declined comment on the case.
Yachik if convicted could face up to 18 months in jail on each child abuse count and up to a year in jail on the false imprisonment count. He has no previous criminal counts but has had multiple financial lawsuits filed against him by creditors since about 2009, according to Colorado court records.
Yachik's arrest comes during what appears to be a contentious domestic dispute between Yachik and Saint-Roberts. Yachik and a 7-year-old with the same last name filed for a temporary restraining order against Saint-Roberts on March 25. But the hearing was apparently canceled the same day it was filed, according to Colorado court records.
Also March 25, Saint-Roberts was charged wihth domestic violence including third-degree assault and obstructing telephone service. She's pleaded not guilty and is set for trial Dec. 16. In June, Saint-Roberts was charged with violating a protection order and in that case is scheduled for a Dec. 18 trial. Both criminal cases involving her were investigated by Loveland police.
A child-custody case between Yachik and Saint-Roberts remains open and is scheduled for a telephone conference Nov. 4, state court records indicate.
WAYNE COUNTY—A Wayne County Sheriff’s officer was arrested Monday afternoon for filing a false document.
The Sheriff’s Office says Brandon Martin, 31, of Newark, falsified his time cards and was paid a benefit that he did not earn. Martin was charged with offering a false instrument for filing in the second degree and petit larceny.
He resigned and will appear in Lyons Town Court at a later date. 10-23-13
A college student claiming he was wrongly arrested last year during a sting operation targeting gay men in a beach bathroom has filed a $5 million lawsuit against the city of Manhattan Beach and police officers for discrimination, false arrest and violation of civil rights.In the lawsuit, filed in federal court last week, Charles Samuel Couch said he was taking care of a disabled boy last year when he was swept up in a police sex sting and lumped together in media reports with men charged with lewd conduct.
Couch, 22, of Hawthorne, has asked for $5 million for the “great humiliation, embarrassment and mental anguish” caused by the incident.
At the time of his arrest last March, Couch was employed by Cambrian Homecare in Long Beach, providing respite care to a 13-year-old boy with Prader-Willi Syndrome, which is characterized by mental retardation and incomplete sexual development.
According to the lawsuit, during a supervised walk in Manhattan Beach, the boy told Couch he needed to use the restroom, so the two headed toward the beach bathroom at Marine Avenue and The Strand. Unbeknownst to Couch, Manhattan Beach police officers were conducting a sting operation targeting gay males who were meeting up in the bathroom, which had been publicized on the Internet as a popular meet-up for sex.
Because of his condition, the boy in Couch’s care frequently spent an abnormally long time using the restroom. While the boy was in the stall farthest from the entrance, Couch sat down on a bench in the changing area of the restroom to wait for him.
Detective John Nasori entered the restroom, according to the lawsuit, and said, “Hello,” before entering the middle stall. A few minutes later, the child bolted from the stall, telling Couch, “There is a man looking at me in the stall.” Horrified, Couch told the boy, “Ignore him. Just keep walking.”
As the two walked out of the bathroom, Couch was confronted by five detectives in plain clothes “resembling thugs.” Presuming that they wanted to kidnap the boy, Couch grabbed the boy to protect him.
He was then tackled, choked and handcuffed, according to the lawsuit, and did not realize the men were actually police officers until he was taken to jail.
What followed was months of irreparable damage to Couch’s reputation and future, his attorney, Bruce Nickerson, said.
During hours of interrogation, Couch gave officers permission to retrieve the boy’s backpack from his car. Once inside the car, however, the police ransacked it without a warrant and took Couch’s backpack containing his laptop, Nickerson said.
Although Couch was given a detention certificate, stating that he was detained, not arrested, and there was insufficient evidence to file a criminal complaint, the lawsuit states, the police kept his laptop for several months, forcing him to withdraw from El Camino College because all of his schoolwork was on the computer. No evidence of child pornography or any other crime was ever found on Couch’s laptop.
A month after his arrest, Couch discovered that his photo had been posted on a local newspaper’s website and published nationwide, with headlines stating he had been arrested in a sex sting operation along with 17 other men.
Even though Couch earned almost straight A’s in high school and at El Camino, Nickerson said, when he applied for top four-year colleges, he hit a snag with the applications.
“They ask, ‘Have you been arrested?’ And he has to state this outrageous arrest,” he said.
His grades easily qualified him for the top schools in the country, but he is now at a lesser-ranked school in Philadelphia, according to Nickerson.
Couch planned to follow in the footsteps of his father — a defense contractor — and apply for internships in the industry.
“This is how kids get ahead in the world. After college, those internships morph into a full-time job,” Nickerson said. “He hasn’t been able to make one application. Once they get wind that he was arrested for lewd conduct and child endangerment, he’s history.”
Nickerson said he’s filed scores of lawsuits related to police sting operations and lewd conduct arrests, but Couch’s case is unique.
“All of my clients were gay men or perceived to be gay who went down to the bathroom to do some sort of cruising,” Nickerson said. “Now here is a case where my client is totally above reproach. … This is the first time a client didn’t do anything at all.”
In fact, Couch is an Eagle Scout, whose Eagle project was developing a respite program for families with children with genetic disorders, Nickerson said.
“Children with Prader-Willi Syndrome need exercise or they get overweight, get diabetes and will die. (Couch’s) program was to get them out of the house, walking and exercising. But they have to be supervised or they get lost,” he said.
Couch’s project turned into a full-time job with Cambrian Homecare, which he later lost because of the incident.
Nickerson is confident in his case.
The parents of the boy in Couch’s care immediately vouched for Couch and explained the details of their son’s syndrome.
In the police report, Nickerson said, the detective insinuated that the boy had been taken to the restroom, knowing about the lewd conduct going on inside.
“The innuendo is that the boy told my client that the cop did not do something sexual through the hole as the little boy was told would happen. That will not pass the smell test. That presumes the boy has a sex drive. The pediatrician has testified that (that’s not the case). Children with Prader-Willi Syndrome have shrunken testicles. There’s no sex drive possible for this little kid,” Nickerson said.
Nickerson said although it was not in the lawsuit, he will present another facet of the incident to the jury.
“When the cops saw my client and the little boy approaching the bathroom, they see a white college kid and a black 13-year-old, and they can think of no reason those two are approaching the bathroom except for sexual purposes,” he said. “They thought he was there to prostitute the kid.”
Eleven months after his detainment, Couch was charged with two counts of resisting arrest related to attempting to protect the boy during the incident, Nickerson said. All criminal charges were dismissed in August.
But the incident left an indelible mark on Couch — a soiled reputation, lost job, compromised future.
“This is a brilliant kid. He was once a happy-go-lucky college kid. Now he’s withdrawn, fearful; he keeps his nose to the grindstone. He doesn’t know who to trust and he’s leery about meeting new people in strange situations because look what happened to him,” Nickerson said. “It’s just appalling.”
Nickerson sent the city a demand letter three weeks before filing the lawsuit, asking them to file a motion with the court for a factual finding of innocence to start “my client’s rehabilitation of his reputation.”
“If the court grants the motion, they destroy all records and order the purging of files all over the place so my client can say truthfully that he was not arrested. (The city has) refused to do this,” he said.
The lawsuit also seeks punitive damages against Nasori for perjury and maliciousness.
The detective authorized the release of Couch’s photo and its posting on the Manhattan Beach police website indicating an arrest for lewd conduct after authorizing a certificate of detention, which states there was not sufficient evidence for an arrest for lewd conduct or child endangerment.
After issuing the certificate, Nasori swore under penalty of perjury that Couch’s laptop had to be searched because “it was used as the means of committing a felony,” the lawsuit read.
City officials directed questions to Eugene Ramirez, the special counsel hired to represent the city in the case.
Because the suit was recently filed, Ramirez said, he still has not talked to anyone involved in the incident, and he must gather relevant reports and begin the discovery process.
“We have to determine if there was any misconduct whatsoever,” he said. “Pending that, there’s no reason to believe anyone did anything inappropriate.”
The city has 20 days to respond to the lawsuit. Since the suit was filed in federal court, all parties will be required to undergo a settlement conference, Ramirez said. If the parties don’t settle, the case could go to a jury trial.

Morrogh finds cop he doesn’t love. In other news, hell freezes.
Probe of fatal police shooting goes to federal authorities
By Justin Jouvenal/Post
The Fairfax County prosecutor has turned over the investigation of a fatal police shooting of an unarmed Springfield man to federal authorities, citing complications with the five-month-old case.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Ray Morrogh said the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Virginia has agreed to continue the probe into the death of 46-year-old John Geer, who was shot during a standoff with Fairfax County police in August. No one has been charged in the incident.
“There is a conflict of interest that has arisen in the case,” Morrogh said Thursday. “And there is a second potential conflict of interest that has arisen out of my office. . . . This is the prudent thing to do.”
Morrogh declined to describe the nature of the conflicts because the investigation is ongoing. The U.S. attorney’s office said Thursday that it could not confirm or deny any investigation or comment on pending investigations.
Police went to Geer’s Pebble Brook Court home on Aug. 29 because of a report of a domestic disturbance. Geer’s father, Don Geer, said his son was upset because his girlfriend, the mother of his two children, had decided to leave him.
John Geer had thrown his girlfriend’s belongings in the front yard. She called police and told them that Geer had a firearm. Police said they tried for about 50 minutes to persuade Geer to leave the home, but he refused.
Don Geer said he watched the climax of the encounter. He said that he could not hear what officers were saying to his son but that he saw him standing with empty hands resting on top of a screen door at the home’s entrance.
At some point, John Geer began to slowly lower his hands and an officer opened fire, hitting Geer in the chest, his father said. Geer retreated inside and closed the door. A SWAT team eventually entered the home and found Geer dead.
Don Geer said detectives later told him that his son did not have a gun on him at the time of the shooting but that there was a holstered handgun a couple of steps from the front door.
Don Geer said it appeared to him that the shooting was unjustified, but he was unsure what to make of the probe being turned over to federal authorities.
“I don’t know whether that’s good or bad — if I had a better idea of why they are doing it, I could form an opinion,” he said.
Geer and friends of his son have been critical of how long the investigation has taken, but Morrogh said police and prosecutors were working to explore all the evidence. He did not think federal prosecutors would have to start from scratch.
“No one wants these things to linger on,” Morrogh said.

Our ink will outlast his career
Under the reign of former Chief of Police Rhorer the Fairfax County Police arrested a man for not wearing clothes in his house while he made coffee, set up an eye doctor on a gambling charge and then used the SWAT team to kill him. An investigation into the charge that the Doctor’s primary clients were cops has never been investigated. The police gunned down an emotionally unstable man because cop who shot him wrongly assumed the man was trying to escape. He wasn’t. The cops also shot dead four other citizens under highly questionable circumstances. The department under Rhorer was sued multiple times by citizens. So did they fire Rhorer? Naw they promoted him. According to news reports Rhorer draws a salary of $191,168 per year as Deputy Fairfax County Executive as well as a concurrent pension from the Fairfax County police of $173000 per year.
Occupation by force
According to the most recent U.S. Census figures, nearly one in five Fairfax residents (17.5 percent) is of Asian descent while Hispanics make up nearly 16 percent of Fairfax’s overall population. Those numbers drop considerably when applied to the Fairfax County Police Department, where only 4.3 percent of officers are Asian and 4.1 percent Hispanic. White officers make up 84 percent of Fairfax County’s 1,360-member police department, significantly higher than the county’s general population (54 percent white). Almost 90% of the force lives outside the county.
