[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. 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.

[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]

Awaiting Advice
Long-awaited recommendation on citizen review board for police expected this month.
By Michael Lee Pope
Wednesday, March 09, 2011
Advocates for a citizen review board to the Fairfax County Police Department have been waiting more than a year for some kind of action on their request. Now, finally, their day has arrived. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll get the answer they asked for or what they want.
Later this month, County Executive Anthony Griffin will present his recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. His presentation will include a series of options Police Chief David Rohr forwarded to the county executive last week, although county and police officials have declined to share any details from the secret memorandum.
"The conversations I’ve had with the county executive seem to indicate that he is going to recommend some kind of review process," said Mount Vernon Supervisor Gerry Hyland. "I think in all likelihood we will come out of this with some kind of process to handle the issues that have been raised."
The push for a citizen review board to the police department began in February 2010, shortly after Fairfax County Police Officer David Ziants shot and killed an unarmed driver on Richmond Highway. Police officials failed to release the incident report or the dashboard video footage of the incident, even when the information was requested in a Virginia Freedom of Information Act request. That led retired D.C. detective Nicholas Beltrante to begin advocating for a citizen-led review board that would be able to investigate complaints against the police.
"Citizens should have the opportunity to investigate these matters," Beltrante said in a March 2010 interview. "But the way things work now, the process is biased in favor of the police and citizens don’t have any input."
THE MOVEMENT WAS SLOW to catch on, and it received some early resistance. When Beltrante approached the Public Safety Committee of the Mount Vernon Council of Citizens’ Associations, the panel declined to even consider the issues. And Hyland interpreted the lack of interest among members of the council as an indication that the effort had scant community support.
"We’ve already got a lot of commissions, and most of them just end up making paper," said Dallas Shawkey, chairman of the Public Safety Committee of the Mount Vernon Council of Citizens’ Associations. "If someone feels they’ve been wronged, they can file a civil complaint."
But Beltrante was not alone. In May, he and others who were concerned about a lack of oversight at the Fairfax County Police Department formed the Citizens Coalition for Police Accountability. Central to the mission of the coalition was the effort to advocate for a citizen review board, a concept which has been endorsed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the NAACP and the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement.
"The problem is that there’s a lot of police misconduct in Fairfax County," said Shirley Stewart, a member of the Fairfax NAACP. "And it’s getting swept under the rug."
IN A CLOSED EXECUTIVE session last year on May 25, members of the Board of Supervisors discussed the issue with Chief Rohrer. According to Chairwoman Sharon Bulova, the meeting concluded with the chief agreeing to consider a process for community discussion on how such a review mechanism might be structured. The chief promised to return with some models and strategies as well as a timeline for engaging the community.
"I think it would be helpful to assure ourselves and either confirm that the right decision was made or to be able to go back and correct something that may not have gone as well as it should have," Bulova said in October.
Since that time, it’s been a waiting game. Supporters of the citizen review board have been eagerly anticipating the police chief’s recommendation. In December, police officials decided they would not be making a public recommendation. Instead, the chief of police would make a secret report to the county executive, who would then make a final recommendation to members of the Board of Supervisors.
"The Police Department is just one of many stakeholders in this issue and the recommendation will come from the county, not the police chief," said police spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings in a December e-mail. "That will happen after all the discussions and considerations are complete."
NOW, AFTER MORE than a year of waiting, the county is finally ready to move forward with a recommendation. But it’s unclear what kind of research has been conducted by county officials in advance of the March 29 meeting. For example, leaders of the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement say they have never been contacted by anyone from the police department or county government.
"Maybe they are getting solid advice from people outside the citizen oversight world," said Phillip Eure, immediate past president of the association. "It’s not at all clear to me that Fairfax County officials have consulted with the people who are most knowledgeable about police review boards, although we remain ready, willing and able to help them at any time."
Long-awaited recommendation on citizen review board for police expected this month.
By Michael Lee Pope
Wednesday, March 09, 2011
Advocates for a citizen review board to the Fairfax County Police Department have been waiting more than a year for some kind of action on their request. Now, finally, their day has arrived. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll get the answer they asked for or what they want.
Later this month, County Executive Anthony Griffin will present his recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. His presentation will include a series of options Police Chief David Rohr forwarded to the county executive last week, although county and police officials have declined to share any details from the secret memorandum.
"The conversations I’ve had with the county executive seem to indicate that he is going to recommend some kind of review process," said Mount Vernon Supervisor Gerry Hyland. "I think in all likelihood we will come out of this with some kind of process to handle the issues that have been raised."
The push for a citizen review board to the police department began in February 2010, shortly after Fairfax County Police Officer David Ziants shot and killed an unarmed driver on Richmond Highway. Police officials failed to release the incident report or the dashboard video footage of the incident, even when the information was requested in a Virginia Freedom of Information Act request. That led retired D.C. detective Nicholas Beltrante to begin advocating for a citizen-led review board that would be able to investigate complaints against the police.
"Citizens should have the opportunity to investigate these matters," Beltrante said in a March 2010 interview. "But the way things work now, the process is biased in favor of the police and citizens don’t have any input."
THE MOVEMENT WAS SLOW to catch on, and it received some early resistance. When Beltrante approached the Public Safety Committee of the Mount Vernon Council of Citizens’ Associations, the panel declined to even consider the issues.

Denver CO is being sued by the family of a man who died after tasered and subjected to a choke hold in jail but lawyers for the family say the suit is about more than just that one death but about the pattern and practice of police brutality in that city and the unwillingness of that city to hold officers accountable for it. 4
