Each state that runs its own police force (all of them) should be required to have some sort of Internal Affairs. But it should be detached from the police department and mixed into the state's justice system. When someone wants to make a complaint against the police, you should be going to a courthouse, not a precinct. That way complaints and other actions become a matter of public record, can be run by the citizens, and the police can actually be held accountable--this will also limit the power of the Police Union and help prevent things from being swept under the rug, and probably reduce the number of cops that get away with shooting dogs for no reason. Only a few states/cities have something like this.
One of our government's only actual jobs is protecting us from criminals and protecting our rights. So basically police and courts (and an army). This is the justification for actually having a government in the first place. But if you're going to allow the police to have legal use of force over its citizens without any real sort of checks and balances, then you're violating what you set out to do in the first place. "But a government that initiates the employment of force against men who had forced no one, the employment of armed compulsion against disarmed victims, is a nightmare infernal machine designed to annihilate morality: such a government reverses its only moral purpose and switches from the role of protector to the role of man’s deadliest enemy, from the role of policeman to the role of a criminal vested with the right to the wielding of violence against victims deprived of the right of self-defense. Such a government substitutes for morality the following rule of social conduct: you may do whatever you please to your neighbor, provided your gang is bigger than his." "The nature of governmental action is: *coercive* action. The nature of political power is: the power to force obedience under threat of physical injury—the threat of property expropriation, imprisonment, or death." |

Georgia Court Invalidates Search Over A Misplaced License Decal
The Georgia Court of Appeals divided 3 to 2 last month on the question of whether police were wrong to search a motorist merely because he appeared nervous and had his license plate decal on the wrong corner of the plate. On July 24, 2009, a patrolman stopped James Heard hoping to issue a ticket for a tag violation when he did not see a 2009 registration sticker. The officer had also been on the lookout for the type of Chevy S-10 truck Heard was driving. Stopped on the side of the road, Heard explained his registration was up to date and handed over proof, along with his license and insurance card. In the course of the stop, two other officers arrived and surrounded the pickup truck. The patrolman noted that Heard appeared nervous, then checked and confirmed that there was a license decal on the left side of the license plate instead of the right side. At this point, the officer testified in court that his investigation of the traffic violation had ended, but the officer decided to ask consent to search the pickup truck. Heard said no. Heard then understood the officer to order him out of the vehicle, and he was frisked for weapons. He was asked about a search once again, and after he consented the officers found six pieces of crack cocaine. |

Garland Cop Charged With Manslaughter After Firing on Chase Suspect 41 Times

In a last-ditch attempt to escape, he rammed a Garland PD squad car. The cop inside, fearing for his life, opened fire, killing Allen. Within two weeks, the narrative had been revised. Vincent hadn't rammed the cop; the cop had rammed him. The "multiple rounds" the officer had fired became 41, with two pauses to reload. |

Sheriff’s deputy placed on leave following run-in with editor | The Today File | Seattle Times
A King County sheriff’s deputy who threatened a newspaper editor with arrest during a sidewalk confrontation in July has been placed on administrative leave pending the final results of an internal investigation into his behavior. King County Sheriff John Urquhart confirmed today that Deputy Patrick Saulet was placed on paid administrative leave before Thanksgiving for allegedly threatening to arrest Dominic Holden, news editor for The Stranger weekly newspaper. Holden wrote that he was riding his bike past Fourth Avenue South and South Jackson Street about 7:25 p.m. on July 30 when he saw six law enforcement officers surrounding a man who was seated on a planter box at a transit station. Holden said he took a photo from a public sidewalk of Saulet, who told Holden to leave the area or risk arrest. Holden then spoke to a Seattle police officer, who reportedly threatened to come to Holden’s office and bother him while he was working. Taking photos of police activity on public property is legal. “As long as they are not directly interfering with an investigation, they have a right to stand there and videotape or take photos,” said sheriff’s spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West following the incident. In addition to writing about the incident, Holden filed complaints with both the King County Sheriff’s Office and Seattle Police Department. |

Shooting simulator spurs grand jury questions The use of the shooting simulator, which was not widely known until a Houston Chronicle investigation, has prompted questions among defense attorneys and civil rights activists about whether it could prejudice grand juries. Harris County grand juries have cleared HPD officers in shootings 288 consecutive times. ... ‘Self-defense’ primer The DA’s office, which began using the simulator in 2003, contends it helps grand jurors understand pressures of police work and the split-second decisions officers must make. Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said the simulations educate jurors about situations when self-defense claims are legitimate — not just for police officers but for all residents. ... “This seems to be a brainwashing that all but guarantees immunity for the cops,” Burke said about the simulator. “It really seems outrageous and holds the potential of tainting the jury.” The reality that police have been nearly immune from criminal charges in shootings concerns the most senior Harris County criminal judge, who noted that grand juries indict a much higher number of defendants in other types of cases. |

A witness who lives in the Treehouse Apartments described hearing 'five or six' gunshots, but no verbal warnings. 'I didn't hear him say anything like, "Get down on your hands and knees," you know? I didn't hear him say anything. He just started shooting,' the man told KSAT. 'He emptied the gun on him,' he said. 'Boom, boom, boom.'

Lawsuit alleges illegal strip-search by HPD officers - WAFF-TV: News, Weather and Sports for Huntsville, AL
A Madison County woman claims she was illegally strip-searched by Huntsville police officers. Sampson claims officers used excessive force to strip-search her in open view of the public, among other things. The alleged incident happened July 24, 2013. Sampson said she was driving on Woodson Road near Holmes Street when an officer pulled her over for not using her turn signal. She said two more officers showed up and began questioning the passenger in her car. In the suit, Sampson claims she asked the officers if she could use her cell phone to record the questioning, but the officers said no. Her attorney, Martin Weinberg, said that the officers violated her First Amendment freedom. Sampson claims the officers made her get out of the car and put her hands on the hood of the car, which was extremely hot. That's when she said a female officer exposed her back side to the other officers and to the public. Sampson also claims the officer rubbed her entire body, including her breasts and genital area. In the lawsuit, she also describes the officers doing an extensive search of her car. Sampson claims they ripped and damaged the interior. Weinberg said the officers had no probable cause for the strip search, or the vehicle search. The lawsuit also claims Sampson was falsely arrested and held without cause. |
Bumbling cop gets tasered, shoots disturbed man: lawsuit | New York Post
Cops fired 10 bullets at an emotionally disturbed man because a confused officer screamed out he was being stabbed — when he’d accidentally been Tasered by a colleague, an explosive new lawsuit charges. Police are claiming the officers who responded to Mohamed Bah’s Harlem apartment in 2012 opened fire — fatally hitting him with eight bullets — because he was lunging at them with a knife. When they entered the dimly lit apartment, cops tried to subdue the African immigrant with Tasers and guns firing rubber pellets. Officer Joseph McCormack fired his stun gun, striking Officer Edwin Mateo “from behind,’’ according to Bah family lawyer Randolph M. McLaughlin, of the law firm Newman Ferrara. Mateo, who’d recently returned from a National Guard tour in Afghanistan, yelled, “He’s stabbing me. Shoot him,’’ according to the $70 million lawsuit, which is being filed Monday in Manhattan federal court. The lawsuit also claims the 28-year-old Guinean was still alive, although barely, after being shot – but then was callously “dragged” by authorities through the building’s hallways, leaving a trial of “smeared” blood. “First they shoot the man and treat him like a criminal – and then they drag him down the hallway like an animal,” said McLaughlin. “Perhaps he’d still be alive if they just picked him up. “This kind of behavior shocks the conscience and should not be tolerated on a civilized police force.’’ |

DOJ Agency Warns Of Police Militarization
In the monthly e-newsletter for the Justice Department's Community Oriented Police Services (COPS) program, Senior Policy Analyst Karl Bickel sounds the alarm about the militarization of America's domestic police forces. Here's his conclusion: Police chiefs and sheriffs may want to ask themselves—if after hiring officers in the spirit of adventure, who have been exposed to action oriented police dramas since their youth, and sending them to an academy patterned after a military boot camp, then dressing them in black battle dress uniforms and turning them loose in a subculture steeped in an “us versus them” outlook toward those they serve and protect, while prosecuting the war on crime, war on drugs, and now a war on terrorism—is there any realistic hope of institutionalizing community policing as an operational philosophy? |
Watchdog Report - ATF uses rogue tactics in storefront stings across nation
Aaron Key wasn't sure he wanted a tattoo on his neck. Especially one of a giant squid smoking a joint. But the guys running Squid's Smoke Shop in Portland, Ore., convinced him: It would be a perfect way to promote their store. They would even pay him and a friend $150 apiece if they agreed to turn their bodies into walking billboards. Key, who is mentally disabled, was swayed. He and his friend, Marquis Glover, liked Squid's. It was their hangout. The 19-year-olds spent many afternoons there playing Xbox and chatting with the owner, "Squid," and the store clerks. So they took the money and got the ink etched on their necks, tentacles creeping down to their collarbones. It would be months before the young men learned the whole thing was a setup. The guys running Squid's were actually undercover ATF agents conducting a sting to get guns away from criminals and drugs off the street. The tattoos had been sponsored by the U.S. government; advertisements for a fake storefront. The teens found out as they were arrested and booked into jail. Earlier this year when the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel exposed a botched ATF sting in Milwaukee — that included agents hiring a brain-damaged man to promote an undercover storefront and then arresting him forhis work — ATF officials told Congress the failed Milwaukee operation was an isolated case of inadequate supervision. It wasn't. |

Police overkill has become the default American policy - Salon.com
If all you’ve got is a hammer, then everything starts to look like a nail. And if police and prosecutors are your only tool, sooner or later everything and everyone will be treated as criminal. This is increasingly the American way of life, a path that involves “solving” social problems (and even some non-problems) by throwing cops at them, with generally disastrous results. Wall-to-wall criminal law encroaches ever more on everyday life as police power is applied in ways that would have been unthinkable just a generation ago... whoops, this is a repost of what Jason linked. |

NYPD cops beat up my loved ones, killed my parakeet: Staten Island mom - NY Daily News
Evelyn Lugo, 57, the mother of 10 children, says in a lawsuit that cops entered her home without a warrant, beat her loved ones with batons and heartlessly killed her beloved bird, Tito. Since the violent incident, Lugo says she has been 'sick and depressed.' Lugo’s son Edwin Avellanet was taking a bag of garbage outside when cops stopped and questioned him about an orange construction cone placed in front of their Corson Ave. home to save a parking spot, according to lawyer Jason Leventhal. The cops demanded to see identification and Avellanet, 26, refused, stating that he had done nothing wrong. A cop grabbed Avellanet by the arm, but he was able to break free and retreat into the house, according to the suit. ... Additional cops arrived and swarmed throughout the house looking for Avellanet. “They threw me like a piece of garbage on the floor,” Lugo said. Another son, George Lugo, and family friend Luis Ortega were struck in the head repeatedly with a baton and suffered severe facial injuries, according to the complaint filed Nov. 29 in Brooklyn Federal Court. Lugo’s daughter, Alba Cuevas, has asthma and was having difficulty breathing due to the pepper spray cops used. She ducked into a bedroom to catch her breath and was arrested. Criminal charges against Ortega, Lugo and Cuevas were later dismissed and sealed, according to the suit. Avellanet, the subject of the cops’ initial stop-and-question, was not charged. “Ever since then I have been sick and depressed,” Lugo said. “I was hurt on the inside, in my heart.” The suit, alleging unlawful search and seizure, excessive force and malicious prosecution, seeks unspecified damages. A spokeswoman for the city Law Department said a copy of the suit had not yet been received. An NYPD spokesman did not respond to a request for comment. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386620340 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386620340 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386620340 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386620340 |

I am sure this tactical unit is used when unnecessary very often but there existence is not surprising. I love how accountants with guns are scary considering "accountants" tend to be logical and calculated and are probably less likely to be power hungry or emotionally unstable than your traditional cop type. They are also properly trained and not just handed guns and thrown into the field.

I assumed, apparently incorrectly, that the IRS was the audit function, and when they detected fraud, they would engage the FBI, ATF or local law enforcement to conduct raids. I never viewed the IRS as an assault force, but I suppose that role is not a lot different than the ATF's... and they have tanks!

A fleeing "armed" robbery suspect and an accomplice killed by police Tuesday were not armed, even though police fired more than 100 rounds into their vehicle when they failed to surrender, Miami Herald news partner CBS4 reported. Two officers wounded in the arm in the barrage of bullets that ensued were likely hit by “friendly fire” - rounds fired by fellow police officers, the station said. Citing a police source, the station said the blue Volvo driven by Adrian Montesano, 27, and passenger Corsini Valdes, 52, was riddled with bullets from a dozen officers, but no guns were found in the vehicle of the suspects. Earlier in the night, Montesano had shot a Miami-Dade police officer in the stomach and stolen his cruiser as he fled from a hold up at a little Havana Walgreens, the station said.

Dallas PD investigating events of officer-involved shooting - Dallas News | myFOXdfw.com
Dallas Police are investigating after a witness to an officer-involved shooting said an officer shot a suspect who appeared to be holding both hands up. If true, it would be the second case of Dallas Police shooting an unarmed person in the last few months. Dallas Police were pursuing a hijacked vehicle after 3 p.m. on Monday Dec. 9 when the driver slowed down, opened the driver's side door and began to run away, despite officers shouting not to. The incident began at a gas station on Bruton Road, when suspects reportedly threatened a man in a Malibu. That man took off running and told police those suspects fired at him several times. Police say no weapon was found at the scene where the vehicle ended up. Officer Amy Wilburn, according to police, approached the car as it continued to move slowly forward. Wilburn came up to the car to stop it from moving when she saw Kelvion Walker, 19, in the front passenger seat. Dallas police said Wilburn "perceived Walker to be an imminent threat, drew her weapon and discharged it once striking him." |

Building owner's senior golden retriever shot and killed by police - National Dogs | Examiner.com
A tragic case of mistaken identity has left the dog who belongs to the owner of a former Veterans building in Vallejo, Calif., dead, reported Wednesday's Mercury News. The dog, a senior golden retriever, belonged to 83-year-old Ed Boydston, who just bought the building which is located on Alabama Street. Boydston, a Korean War veteran, was at the newly purchased building in the early evening last Friday; while there, someone phoned the police to report suspicious activity. Responding police entered the building and called out to announce their presence; Boydston did not hear them, but his dog, "Tiger," did, and when he approached, he was shot one time. Boydston told Mercury News what he said to the officer: I said, 'Don't shoot my dog, and I heard very clearly, 'I just did,' I kind of feel like the dog tripped a shot for me. It could have been me that was shot. I was 10-12 feet away." The officer's shot to Tiger proved to be fatal; Tiger, described as "sweet," had been Boydston's companion for the last eight years. Following the death of his companion, Boydston said: I guess they were justified in doing it, I don't know about the law, but I guess they had justified rights. Someone reported a burglary." |
Ex-NJ Transit cop on disability pension is shown firing gun in video, says he followed the law | NJ.com
Christopher Onesti admits his story is ridiculous. The former New Jersey Transit police officer retired on disability five years ago at the age of 29 after accidentally firing a staple into the ring finger of his non-shooting hand during a mishap at a gun range in 2006. Part of the reason, Onesti said, was that doctors declared he would have trouble properly operating a firearm with his weak hand. Now he collects $45,936.24 a year tax-free from an accidental-disability pension for life. But Onesti, now 34, hasn’t given up shooting. He said he visits ranges a few times a year — and understands why New Jersey taxpayers footing the bill for his pension would be annoyed by that. "It absolutely looks absurd," Onesti, who now lives outside Philadelphia, said yesterday. "But it’s because the system is absurd." |

Video: NC cop pushes K-9 into suspect's car window now read the comments from the same video on a police forum... Enjoy the administrative vacation brother, shame your partner didn't get the jugular....... Officer Brister: You deserve a medal. Nice job! Dog bites are fun to watch. You know the other officers wanted some popcorn for that show! This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. The look on this dirtbags face was priceless. Hey, say hello to Rin Tin Tin. And this coward of a DA, no balls so he put it on the Grand Jury, at least they did the right thing. Love it, still laughing. |
