SS feels like a reverse astroturfer, in here to try and make the folks who want to point out legitimate police misconduct look like a bunch of crazies.

I'm not doing anything. I post and people attack me. This whole derail was started because of a mod btw.

Feel free to continue the on topic discussion.

This story continues to get worse.

Dude and his family were actively embezzling money from a youth charity. It was being audited by investigators suspicious about the missing money and he essentially tried to frame his suicide as being in the line of duty so that his family would get triple life insurance benefits.

Also, the officer had a long history of **** behavior (both on and off the force) but of course was still allowed to hold a job enforcing the peace

The records were released late Thursday by the Village of Fox Lake in response to a Freedom of Information request, after a day in which officials said Gliniewicz had sought out a hit man to kill a village administrator he feared would expose him as a thief, and may have planned to plant cocaine on the administrator to discredit her as a criminal.

So much for a happy weekend.

Troopers show up to a house on Halloween to inform four kids that their parents had just been killed in a car accident and find them in full costume ready to go trick-or-treating. The troopers decided to take them trick-or-treating while waiting for the grandmother to arrive.

That story is so gross for a couple reasons but every girl on my Facebook is sharing as if it's the most feel good story of all time.

People hating on the cop in that story have serious personal issue, imo.

Meh, he chickened out on his duties and only thought of his own feelings. He let the older kid sit there for like 12 hours knowing something was up but no one would tell him what, that's no cool IMO.

The department using it as a PR highlight is by far worse though.

Jesus, how could people possibly be hating on this cop for that?

joe, u still in Iowa?

P.S. I got you as wrong on this one.

He called the grandmother who said she wanted to be the one to tell the kids.

Is DemocracyNow leaving any details out below? Because if not, it sounds absurd that this cop got acquitted:

Here's the video

Did I miss the shots in the back or is the video truncated?

If true then that's fine. The article I read on it the other day said he went to the door and couldn't bring himself to do it and by the time the grandma got there the kids were all asleep and that's when they decided to wait til the morning so she could tell them.

Sotomayor's dissent in MULLENIX v. LUNA

DN! seems to always have material for this thread.

Did they cut out the shooting part?

In the video he sort of is reaching into his pocket. But also, he looks to be in his 50s and 60s and she shocked the ****ing **** out of him so I doubt he was able to move much.

I think what really needs to happen is, they need to create a neutral party from the police where all police videos are sent. There's far too much editing and other nonsense going on an with these escalating cases that can't be happening.

lolololol

****. This. Guy.

I only watched once but I don't remember any parts where he was reaching in his pocket (least not while on the ground). His hands were above his head. At some point there were inching closer to his head but it's not like he can hide a gun in his ears. I found the whole thing bizarre:

Spaz cop: "STOP MOVING!" (While he's being electrocuted...)

Spaz cop: "GET ON THE GROUND!!!" (While he's already flat on the ground.)

Spaz cop repeatedly says, "PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!1!111!!" (while his hands are already spread out above his head).

So yeah, it doesn't show what happened afterward but my guess is it was almost entirely her fault.

LOL

The book summary is hilarious. I hope nobody buys his ****ty book.

How a small town feud contributed to the death of the 6 year old child

Basically the mayor was coming down on the judge who then deputized and expanded the marshals, who mostly do administrative work and don't do police work, to start doing police work.

I think that stat is pretty hard to interpret. What should the correct % be? Its hard to know if it should be higher, lower or if thats about the right number. My personal belief is thats low of course but its hard to know just how many terrible civilian complaints get filed.

I'm ok with thinking an officer with 68 complaints filed against him is most likely a bad cop.

Let's call it The Cosby Effect.

Ok, but apropos of your screen name, if your guiding principle in life is "where theres smoke theres fire" you are going to make a sizable amount of pretty stupid blunders, that could easily be avoided by not being so lazy. But hey you'll be right a lot too so thats ok I guess.
