Truth is the cop may have saved lives.
Had there been any fatalities or shots fired on innocents? TRUTH is that there is a protocol for bringing these people in, and that couldn't have known if an infant was playing in the front yard of that house, which is why they have to follow that protocol. I could understand it if he had wandered through the church killing everyone inside...Quote:

Using a police cruiser as a projectile into a fenced yard is pretty damn reckless. Replicate that strategy 1,000x and you'll have a lot of dead suspects, lawsuits, dead bystanders, etc. Not a sustainable or responsible choice at a high level. Wyatt Earp sh*t.
That said, nobody died and in all likelihood the perp was spared a less favorable option of being apprehended by rightfully scared shitless cops with guns. No medal, no demotion just make sure he stops driving his cruiser into buildings.

This is what happens to good cops.
Police are now detaining 11 year olds and leveraging them for search warrants.

Detroit cop who accidentally killed girl is back on the job
DETROIT – A Detroit police officer who accidentally killed a 7-year-old girl during a search for a murder suspect nearly five years ago has been restored to active duty.
Police Chief James Craig tells The Detroit News that Joseph Weekley is in the department's Criminal Investigations Bureau. He says Weekley "won't be in the field."
In May 2010, Weekley was a member of an elite group of officers that conducted risky missions. His gun fired, killing Aiyana Stanley-Jones, moments after he burst through the door of a home to find a murder suspect.
Weekley says he accidentally pulled the trigger during a struggle with Aiyana's grandmother. She denied it.
A judge cleared Weekley of involuntary manslaughter. A separate misdemeanor charge was dropped after two juries couldn't reach a verdict.
Interesting commentary:
Although I have doubt that the shooting was accidental, I am also of equal certainty that the cops conspired to lie about later to save the cop who did it.
According to the police version of the raid:
the gun went off as they were entering the house,
Weekley did not notice that his gun had fired
then Weekley ran out the back to help clear a bedroom
he then came back into the living room to discover only then that somebody had been shot.
the grandmother, along with the girls father were then detained together in the living room for several hours
AND ONLY THEN did the story of "grandmother rushed to grab the cops gun" come up, and she was taken to the police station for a few hours for fingerprinting and gun residue tests BEFORE BEING RELEASED.
I ask you, members of the jury, if the cops honestly genuinely believed that the grandmother had grabbed the gun with such force that it fired and killed someone, then
1 - why didn't the cop even notice?
2 - why didn't they arrest her right then, or even bother to handcuff her, rather than waiting for several hours?
3 - why did they let her go?
Why aren't these experts being charged with a crime? Am I missing something? Didn't they all conspire and lie under oath?Quote:

A videotape shows Melendez apparently punching and kicking Floyd Dent, 57, who was tased after he was pulled over for rolling through a stop sign, reports CBS Detroit.
Dent sustained "severe" injuries that required treatment at a hospital, Worthy said. "We are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior, but before you can do anything, you have to do a complete investigation," she said. Melendez told WXYZ-TV last week that "there are always two sides to every story."
According to the police report, Melendez said he thought Dent was reaching for a gun, ignored orders to show his hands and threatened to kill them. Dent was initially charged with resisting arrest and possession of cocaine. A District Court judge earlier dismissed charges of fleeing police and resisting arrest after reviewing the video, which went viral, reports the station.
The cocaine possession charge has now also been dismissed, Worthy said. Police claimed they found drugs in Dent's car, but Dent claims Inkster police planted cocaine, reports the station. Melendez was accused of misconduct previously, when he worked at the Detroit Police Department.
In 2004, federal prosecutors charged Melendez and seven other officers with civil rights abuses, including planting evidence. Melendez and the other officers were acquitted.

note: Melendez remains employed as a part-time police officer with the Highland Park Police Department.
I'm not a physician but how does a seemingly able-bodied 25-year old end up with a severed spinal cord during an arrest as described in the report?
Getting arrested is stressful, but I have a hard time seeing it being severing your spinal cord stressful if things took place without incident.
To me a 73 year old policeman seems a bad idea.
Even before they shoot people by accident.
Honorary cops is nothing new. Sooner or later there was bound to be a fuck ups. Probably not the first time it's happened.

Was she giving blowjobs to get out of a speeding ticket? Carrying a couple tons of blow?
Why the fuck do four cars of cops need to pull over one chick, who wasn't even handcuffed when we drove by.
Maybe it was a celebrity and they all wanted her autograph.
I like how the 73 year old no business doing what he was doing guy was only doing it because of donations of cars to the department and....wait for it...campaign donations to the Sheriff! Of course! He paid, so he gets to play cop!
And this is at least the 2nd worse thing that has happened to him. There was that time he had some cancer and got better. It might be tied with that. Or 2nd to it. He's not really sure.
guess what...
the old geezer that shot that guy in the back and being charged with manslaughter is now vacationing in the bahamas - judge granted him the vacay because it was pre-planned ....after you just killed a guy
Ya, but it might be the last chance to go. ....before he gets 2 months house arrest.Quote:

I got a real bad DUI in college. Blacked out at the bar, was being "responsible" and had a ride home, then when I got home evidently I went for a drive, still blacked out. Came to with my car into a chain link fence and on top of a water tower control box (Fucking like, 10,000 gallons an hour pumping inside my car). Nearby family calls cops, one responds, I'm being completely apologetic, embarrassed, and co-operative. Six (6!) cop cars show up to interrogate me, including one they supposedly brought all the way from the bar I was at with dude saying, "Yeah, YEAH! I saw this guy drive his car away from the BAR!"Quote:

HARRISBURG, Pa. - The video from the camera attached to the officer's stun gun shows how David Kassick died, authorities say: two bullets, four seconds apart, fired into his back as he lay face down.
Two months before a police officer was captured on video shooting a South Carolina motorist eight times in the back, Kassick was killed by a Pennsylvania officer who is now charged with criminal homicide.
Well he was the sheriffs campaign manager and insurance agentQuote:

Supreme Court: Cops can’t hold suspects to wait for drug-sniffing dog
By Julian Hattem - 04/21/15 11:11 AM EDT
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Tuesday that the Constitution forbids police from holding a suspect without probable cause, even for fewer than 10 extra minutes.
Writing on behalf of the court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg declared that the constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure prevent police from extending an otherwise completed traffic stop to allow for a drug-sniffing dog to arrive.
“We hold that a police stop exceeding the time needed to handle the matter for which the stop was made violates the Constitution’s shield against unreasonable seizures,” she ruled.
The case, Rodriguez v. United States, was brought by a man who was pulled over for driving on the shoulder of a Nebraska highway. After the police pulled him over, checked his license and issued a warning for his erratic driving, the officer asked whether he could walk his drug-sniffing dog around the vehicle.
The driver, Dennys Rodriguez, refused. However, the officer nonetheless detained him for “seven or eight minutes” until a backup officer arrived. Then, the original officer retrieved his dog.
After sniffing around the car, the dog detected drugs, and Rodriguez was indicted for possessing methamphetamine. In all, the stop lasted less than 30 minutes.
According to the Supreme Court, though, that search of Rodriguez’s car was illegal, and the evidence gathered in it should not be used at trial. While officers may use a dog to sniff around a car during the course of a routine traffic stop, they cannot extend the length of the stop in order to carry it out.
“The tolerable duration of police inquiries in the traffic-stop context is determined by the seizure’s ‘mission’ — to address the traffic violation that warranted the stop,” Ginsburg ruled. “Authority for the seizure thus ends when tasks tied to the traffic infraction are — or reasonably should have been — completed.”

Not gonna miss this intellectual deadbeat.. Leonhart's gone after doing her best to make a mockery out of the DEA the past 5 years.
DEA officials banging cartel-hired hookers at home and at the office. In the words of Zack Galifinakis "classic!"
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/22/us...to-resign.html
"Ms. Leonhart’s expected departure follows a hearing last week in which lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee expressed outrage about her handling of reports that D.E.A. agents stationed in Colombia participated in sex parties with prostitutes paid for by drug cartels.
Seven agents who admitted to the accusations were given suspensions of two to 10 days, and under harsh questioning from the panel, Ms. Leonhart said that she was powerless to take more aggressive action such as firing them or revoking their security clearances."
It's the same indecision we saw in congress last year, possibly with the same fucking explanation: holding ranks with the blue.. shake mah gotdamned head

I don't see that case changing much. They can't continue to hold you after they've issued the citation, but presumably the officer could just take his sweet time writing up the citation while he waits for the K9 unit.Quote:
