Officers are required to "constantly patrol his/her beat, except when on special assignments and shall not lounge, loaf or gather with others at any place," according to the "Responsibilities of the District Police Officers" section of the police manual.

They put "no loafing" in the manual.

This is highest level degen. I look forward to seeing the toxicology reports. I'm just picturing the three of them holed up in a house drinking vodka and smoking crack, then the revolver comes out and the party really gets started.

SC cops defend keeping cash they seize: 'What's the incentive' otherwise?

Quote:

Jarrod Bruder, the executive director of the South Carolina Sheriff’s Association who frequently lobbies for law enforcement interests at the Statehouse, said that without the incentive of profit from civil forfeiture, officers probably wouldn’t pursue drug dealers and their cash as hard as they do now.

If police don’t get to keep the money from forfeiture, “what is the incentive to go out and make a special effort?” Bruder said. “What is the incentive for interdiction?”

Police in Delaware*are reviewing a video that shows an officer pulling a gun on a black driver*during a traffic stop, a state police spokesman told*NBC News.

Quote:

On the way to the troop he kept referring to YOU PEOPLE. I asked him who was YOU PEOPLE since there was only him and I in the vehicle. Then he proceeded to say I was a worthless piece of ****," Buckley wrote.

Buckley*said that when he asked the officer what he meant by "you people," the officer responded "society," adding, "Go ahead and play the race card."

Cop comes up, sees the guy recording, tells him to step out of the car, guy says he's not stepping out of the car, cop pulls his gun out. Less than 10 seconds.

Bully officer threatens to send kid reporter to juvy, but kid doesn't back down

Quote:

A reporter for Pennsylvania's Orange Street News rode her bike near the Arizona-Mexico border on an assignment when a marshal in the town of Patagonia threatened to arrest her. He wanted her to stop what she was doing. The reporter, Hilde Lysiak, is only 12 years old.

According to her story in the Orange Street News, when she gave him her name and phone number and told him she was working for a news organization, he said, “I don’t want to hear about any of that freedom of the press stuff. I’m going to have you arrested and thrown in juvey."

A bit later, she approached him to ask what he meant about sending her to juvey. "What exactly am I doing that's illegal?"

... where this video takes over ...

Quote:

The town of Patagonia claims on their website that the marshal is being disciplined, but doesn't give any details on what that looks like.

Meanwhile, Lysiak, the youngest member of the Society of Professional Journalists, tweeted...

Miami cops try, and fail, to cover up video evidence of them roughing up a suspect

Quote:

The raid was over, the arrests made. But as Miami-Dade police officers led one suspect to a patrol car, prosecutors say, Sgt. Manuel Regueiro approached the handcuffed 18-year-old and slapped him squarely across the face.

What Regueiro appeared not to know at the time: A home surveillance system caught it all.

On Tuesday, two police officers were charged with crimes — Regueiro for misdemeanor battery, and another officer for trying to destroy the video evidence of his supervisor hitting the cuffed suspect.

The footage wasn’t a secret for long, as the man on the receiving end of the slap, Bryan Crespo, told the police they were being filmed shortly after Regueiro hit him. After that, the surveillance video showed Officer Alex Gonzalez, along with Regueiro and two other officers, entering the front bedroom of Crespo’s home, where the security system was housed, according to an arrest warrant for Gonzalez.

Then it went dark.

Security footage from a neighbor’s house captured Gonzalez leaving Crespo’s Miami home and walking to his unmarked police cruiser carrying a box wrapped in a pillowcase. Inside, prosecutors say, was the surveillance system’s battery, which Gonzalez apparently confused for the system itself.

I can't even begin to imagine how many citizens have been murdered by police as we go back in time where there was less and less and even no surveillance.

Cop in Florida (where else) used his police access to databases to try to get dates with at least 150 women

Quote:

According to the chief, her department learned that Marines allegedly had used a sensitive database to mine information for his own personal dating service.

“To get right to the root of the matter, Leonel Marines was not utilizing this data for law enforcement purposes whatsoever,” Bevan said. “Instead, he was using it in a variety of ways — from social media, cold telephone calls, visits to their home under the guise of being there for police business, you name it — trying to get dates with these women. He was very persistent and successful at times in his efforts to do so.”

Marines, a 12-year member of the Bradenton Police Department and a supervisor, was taken off patrol once the initial complaint was made last summer. In October, he resigned. The investigation continued, however, with five detectives eventually reaching 150 women Marines allegedly contacted inappropriately.

“This behavior may have been going on for years, stretching as far back as 2012,” Bevan said.

Bevan said the FBI is reviewing the case for possible criminal charges against Marines. The former police officer has yet to respond publicly to the allegations and could not be reached to comment.

Flowers v. Mississippi

black man in mississippi has been tried SIX times over the span of 20 years for the same murder by the same prosecutor in front of the same judge.

if i get this correctly:
1st time- conviction reversed because of misconduct
2nd time- conviction reversed because racially motivated jury selection
3rd time- conviction reversed because racially motivated jury selection
4th time- hung jury
5th time- hung jury-- JUDGE arrests the lone african american juror that said not guilty and threatens to arrest defendants lawyer
6th time- conviction on appeal due to racially motivated jury selection

oh and ofcourse that isn't even getting to the shadyness that has gone on with the case.. they have only ever investigated one person. they have relied on jail snitches about confessions that have been recanted. there is a gun that was sent to them by "someone" and it matched, and has since "gone missing"..

Jail house snitches reminded me of this longform piece about the conviction of 3 people for 3 murders and the execution of a maybe innocent guy

https://www.texasmonthly.com/article...s-at-the-lake/

Quote:

In 1982 a brutal triple homicide shook the city of Waco and soon became one of the most confounding criminal cases in Texas history—one that still haunts the many people who have tried to solve it.

The snitches part comes in where the detective on the case quits his job as a detective to become a jailer of the only guy he was investigating for the case, and mysteriously a lot of jail house snitches start saying the guy killed the 3 people, how he did it, that he was in a Satanic cult, etc. basically laying out a sensational capital murder case on a platter. The detective and DA continued to"solve" crimes via jail house snitches for years after.

“Except for her race, you would think that this is a juror that a prosecutor would love when she walks in the door,” Kagan said to Jason Davis, the special assistant attorney general representing Mississippi.
