"I need you to put that cell phone down right now because you are detained. Give me the cell phone. Give me the cell phone,” the officer said. “It is within my legal rights,” one of the men can be heard in the recording.”No you're not. You don't have any legal rights now because right now you just broke the law,” the officer replies.

Recent surveillance video of a man shoved to the ground by a Mingo County Sheriff's deputy after having a medical condition is going viral.

It was captured last Thursday in Mingo County, moments after Jerry Maynard called 911, saying he was having chest pains. It goes on to show a deputy walk over to Maynard and shove him to the ground and got into his face.

Ford has created a way for law enforcement bosses to see where their subordinates go and track how they’re driving. Fifty Los Angeles Police Department cruisers have been outfitted with transmitters that send officers’ driving information to their supervisors, and can even tell if the boys in blue are wearing seat belts. The system is a joint effort by Ford and California software firm Telogis, and designed for the Police Interceptor models of the Explorer and Taurus. The idea is that accountability will lead to better and safer driving behavior. Auto insurance companies have been doing the same thing for years.

David Afanador and Tyrane Isaac are expected to surrender and answer an indictment for assault and official misconduct for the alleged caught-on-tape attack against 16-year-old old Kahreem Tribble, according to multiple sources. The unusual indictment for illegal use of power during an arrest comes after a barrage of recordings of apparent NYPD violence or misconduct came to light in recent months.

Kaldrick Donald, 24, died as a result of the shooting and the police officer, Sergeant Charles Brown, was also reportedly injured in some sort of a physical altercation with the mentally ill man. But Brown was treated at a nearby hospital and released and has since been placed on paid “administrative” leave from the police department in Gretna, pending an investigation of the fatal shooting.

Donald’s mother, Juanita Donald, had called police in the past to help with her severely troubled son. She told a local TV station that the normal procedure was for police to take Kaldrick Donald to The Apalachee Center, a nearby behavioral health facility, where professionals then administered the necessary medication for Kaldrick’s condition.

The exact nature of Kaldrick Donald’s mental illness has not been made clear and, indeed, details of the police shooting that ended his life on October 28 remain sketchy. But what is clear is that this time, when Juanita Donald called police for assistance with her son at around 9:30 am last Tuesday, something went terribly wrong.

According to police, Kaldrick Donald and Charles Brown somehow got into a fight. But according to Juanita Donald, her mentally ill son “didn’t want to be bothered” and was simply trying to walk away from the police officer when the physical altercation began.

That altercation, she said, was started by Brown who grabbed her son and first shot him with a taser. At that point, the situation took a deadly turn.

“He rushed my son off in the bathroom and I heard three shots,” Juanita Donald said. “I was like, ‘You shot my son.’ And he was like, ‘I had to.’ I said, ‘No, you didn’t have to.”

A Crawford police officer accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with a minor under the age of 17 multiple times was fired Tuesday evening during a city council meeting.

Mayor Brent Meyer said the city discussed the employment issue in executive session and then voted in open session to terminate Officer William “Bill” Byrom’s employment.

Byrom, 28, was placed on administrative leave Oct. 23 pending an investigation after Crawford Police Chief Clayton Bruton discovered the allegations, an affidavit said.

A Texas Rangers investigation determined he may have had inappropriate sexual contact with a minor, and Byrom was arrested Oct. 28 on a warrant alleging indecency with a child sexual contact.

The city reached a nearly $1 million settlement with a man who suffered a stroke after being falsely arrested in a landlord-tenant dispute, according to the comptroller’s office.

Gerardo Mayol’s $540 million lawsuit against the NYPD claimed cops at the 104th precinct in Ridgewood mocked him while in custody and refused to take him to a hospital when he became ill.
A cop even threatened Mayol if he urinated on the floor, telling him “he was going to use Mr. Mayol’s sweater to clean it up and then put his sweater back on him,” the lawsuit, filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, said.

Doctors later determined Mayol, a limo driver, suffered a stroke. He spent 20 days at Elmhurst Hospital due to the severity of his injuries.

The city settled with him for $988,000, the comptroller’s office said Wednesday.

How did a Tucson police officer, who's been on the force eight years, keep his job after being suspended hundreds of hours for disciplinary reasons?
