A Fairfax County police spokesman, a 15-year member of the force, has been charged with possessing child pornography that was uploaded to the Internet from a computer at his home, police said.

Officer William “Bud” Walker, 49, of Fairfax was arrested at police headquarters Wednesday afternoon and charged with two counts of possession of child pornography following an investigation, police said.

Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said at a press conference Wednesday night that it "gravely upsets" him to inform the public about Walker's arrest.

"At this time, this criminal investigation has not revealed any activity involving children from our community," Roessler said. He added that the children seen in the pornography have not been identified.

Walker was regularly seen on television and was quoted in the newspaper, providing information about police cases in the county. Police said in a news release that Walker held a “visible position of public trust.”

County detectives began their investigation April 6 after being contacted by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

In July 2014, the center received a tip from a blogging site, Tumblr, that child pornography had been uploaded through its servers, according to a search warrant. Between April and June 2014, Tumblr reported, one image and one GIF — a looped video clip — were uploaded from an Internet address in the county. The images showed pubescent males...

Police officers in the City of Stockton, California says its officers are not to blame for firing over 600 rounds into a disabled SUV, hitting an innocent hostage more than 10 times.

It all happened after armed bank robbery suspects took off in the SUV with a hostage. The police knew this much, but it didn’t cause them a moment’s pause when they unloaded magazine after magazine full of rounds into the vehicle, suspects and hostage.

Now, the family of Misty Holt-Singh, the hostage who was riddled with bullets, is considering filing suit against the City of Stockton and the Stockton Police Department for how they handled the July 17th robbery and high speed chase.

They have four more months to decide, but attorney Gregory Benthly says that they are “forcing the Singhs’ hand.” Bentley indicated that a claim would be filed, but he did not specify when.

“The city has refused to accept responsibility for its actions,” Bentley explained in a statement. “Stockton police officers fired over 600 bullets at a disabled vehicle with full knowledge that Misty was inside… of the bullets that struck Misty, every single one was fired from a member of the Stockton police.”

An investigation into the massive police shooting revealed that 34 police officers shot at the suspects and hostage, violating “numerous standard police protocols in their response,” Bentley explained. Officers are instructed to engage the robbers after they leave the bank, rather than while the robbery is in progress.

Kelly Huber, an employee at the bank, added that even the hostage-taking was a result of police negligence. Officers were not prepared to contain the robbers when they interrupted the robbery.

30-year-old Sean Reardon was stopped by police as he drove his Chevy Suburban near 5th and Main Streets in Chico, when, after getting out of his car, he was tackled to the ground and ‘hog tied’ by the two police officers before being beaten with a baton as he lie in the road.

The disturbing footage shows Reardon being hit multiple times with the baton before being taken to a hospital.

“Pull him over!” one officer shouts to the other as he reigns down baton blows to Reardon’s rib cage.

Reardon says he was in ICU for 4 days and suffered multiple broken bones, including ribs, his nose and sternum.

The police just lie and lie. This is why people don't trust them or respect them any more. First thing out of the Arsenal police officers mouth is I can not take pictures of the arsenal. Then he goes into how it is illegal. Why must they do that? How about say Hi sir how are you? Did you want to speak with Mr. John B. Synder he is the Arsenal public affairs representative. But no go right into ordering someone around and then intimidate them first. Then the city of Watervliet Police try their hand at lying. Oh and don't forget to ask me for ID. And when that doesn't work go into more intimidation tactics by calling for more police to arrive. After I walked away from them 2 more Watervliet cars drove by to meet up with the other Police. Now at the end of the video I find them all around my car. I didn't try to hide my car because my name is on CopBlock.org with this video, I am now well known in Troy which is on the other side of the river from Watervliet. But they try to intimidate me more by having 3 patrol cars around my car and they still are trying to get a good picture of me. And listen to the Watervliet officer Langlais say he doesn't know if there are gangs in Watervliet or if there are any missing persons and finally he has nothing better to do then watch me. So if you are a resident of Watervliet remember that they lie and waste your tax dollars because they don't know of any crime to solve and have nothing better to do then follow and watch a law abiding citizen out taking pictures.

I first went to the Colonie Police station to do a 1st amendment test. On the surface they did great Sgt. Dinuzzo came out and said its fine film, and even asked if I needed anything. Well he is a liar and can not be trusted. Its a shame you can't trust the police any more. In the second half of the video I happen to come across 2 patrol cars going into Price Chopper and I stopped to see what was going on. While advising the occupants in the car of their rights Officer Matthew R. Overocker steps in to make sure they don't know their rights and thinks that it's not my place to tell them.Now they violated the 4th amendment on the passengers in the car through intimidation. And at the same time Sgt. Dinuzzo orders Officer Nicholas R. Morgan to run my plate. Now they knew who I was but they wanted to intimidate me and hope that my motorcycle was missing something, too bad for them I am all good. Police at their finest, intimidation, rights violations and un-trust worthiness. After the police left I had a chance to speak with the people in the car and the driver told me that the police said I called in the complaint on them. They can't help but lie. My guess is they didn't want me to talk with them. While sitting and talking Colonie PD kept circling the parking lot and sitting near by watching us. Just more intimidation on their part. This tells me the stories I have heard about Colonie PD is true and I need to keep a better eye on them.

A fired Phoenix police detective is asking for his job back in the wake of an investigation into alleged police brutality.

“I just tasted the blood,” said 18-year-old Patrick D’Labik, remembering the moment Detective Kevin McGowan stomped D’Labik’s back, sending his face into a convenience store floor.

“As soon as I spit, I realized my teeth was out,” D’Labik said.

McGowan told police internal affairs investigators that he stomped D’Labik’s back because he was not obeying commands.

The incident, in late December of last year, began when McGowan stopped D’Labik, who was walking near 38th Street and McDowell Rd.

McGowan wanted to ask D’Labik if he had any information about a homicide suspect.

D’Labik, who feared the officer would discover the marijuana in his pocket, ran.

McGowan caught up with D’Labik in a convenience store. A surveillance video without audio shows McGowan, gun drawn, approaching D’Labik. D’Labik, who had his hands up, begins to get on the ground. When he is in a “push up” position, McGowan stomps him in the upper back. That sent D’Labik’s face into the floor. He lost several teeth.

“There was no need for it at all,” D’Labik said. “It makes me angry and it still makes me angry.”

The Phoenix Police Department fired McGowan, a decision the detective is appealing through the City’s Civil Service Board.

A Metropolitan Detention Center officer is accused of raping an inmate inside the District Courthouse while she was cuffed and shackled. Enock Arviso is now a former MDC officer, charged with rape and in custody at his former workplace.

The victim’s attorney worries there may be more victims out there.

“She was completely vulnerable, being cuffed both at the wrists and at the ankles, unable to get away from him,” said attorney Nicole Moss. “After it was over with, he just carried on his normal business. I’m worried he’s done this before and there are other victims out there.”

Bernalillo County deputies say on Monday, Arviso took the victim out of a courtroom to the back elevators that are used by inmates. He raped her once he had her by herself and away from cameras, according to the criminal complaint. Arviso denied the incident but later gave deputies a piece of paper which read, “This is an amended statement … I did have sex with inmate on 4/13/15.”

According to the complaint, Arviso injured the victim, causing trauma and bleeding. Moss says the victim was concerned about retaliation if she reported it to another MDC officer, but found a phone to call a hotline for inmates.

“She’s a very brave woman for doing this,” Moss said. “She actually was very scared about coming forward, but she found the strength and she reported it.”

Moss is concerned other officers knew or suspected what happened, but kept quiet.

“This woman and other inmates, these are our family members,” she said. “These are community members. She’s a mother. She’s a daughter.”
