This New Orleans police officer was tasked with taking a 14 year old girl who'd been raped to a children's hospital where she would be examined for a rape kit. He wound up "grooming" and eventually raping her.

The former Laurel, MD police chief is accused with arson and attempted murder. These arsons were apparently revenge motivated. He set fire to twelve structures, including his stepson's home and when the stepson bought another home, he set fire to that one too. He also set fire to another former police chief's home. It didn't matter to him that people were still in the homes when he set the fires at night.
"Crawford is accused of targeting a former Laurel city official, three former law enforcement officers, including Laurel’s former police chief, two of his former doctors, two relatives and another resident in Ellicott City, where the former cop was taken into custody at his home."

And ya'll know how I feel about Killer Kops who murder people during arrests where the offenses were minor, the victims had no weapons nor posed a threat and no lethal force was necessary. Most of them either don't get tried, get acquitted or get a slap on the wrist. :mad:

The vast majority of cops are decent people.....but it only takes the actions of a few to disgrace the entire force.

I will be watching the news from the trial of Derek Chauvin...the cop who being charged in the death of George Floyd. I think the trial starts tomorrow, and I saw a news report that the trial is even going to be televised. Already, the courthouse in Minneapolis has been surrounded with fencing, and there will probably be a bunch of cops stationed there to control the expected "protestors".

I can just imagine the riots and carnage that will take place if/when this cop is exonerated.

You're right. I'd like to believe the majority of cops are decent although I had a good friend who was a cop and said he couldn't stay on the force after the things he saw. He also told me that there are some sickos on the force who apparently knew what they had to do to pass the psych evaluations. There have been many cases of domestic abuse by police officers. It's hard to know which ones to trust anymore. There were three officers and a detective (father of two of the officers) in my family who were on our local force. One retired, the others are deceased. There have been some allegations of misconduct within our local force. Planting drugs, taking bribes and unnecessary abuse of detainees, one even dying are among the charges.

The issue is not the ratio of good cops/bad cops. The problem is the good cops supporting & lying for the bad cops due to the "Brotherhood" & the Code of Silence that is rampant. That is what feeds the disgrace. And the cops involved in the cover ups don't seem to realize how they contribute to the disgrace. Or.....they don't care.

It's a myth that it's only a "few bad apples." When you take the bad ones plus the so-called good ones who lie to protect, look the other way, don't report criminal acts and etc., what's left is not a majority. There was a cop in I believe Buffalo that loss her job because during an arrest, she told her partner he was going too far. The union refused to back her and she loss her pension and everything else.

Then those so-called "good cops" are not so good. I know it's a tough job and I sure wouldn't want it but giving so much power and weapons to the wrong people is just asking for what we are now seeing.

Part of the problem is qualified immunity. When you don't have to be concerned about your actions, there is nothing to fear.
 
Admittedly I have had little interaction with law enforcement. 2-3 fix it type stops and one speeding ticket. All the cops were nice or decent.

In my job, on few occasions we have had police in the building. Again all have been decent, one was super nice. Except one. He asked me something, I answered him and he snapped (rapid and nasty) "That's not what I asked you!" Oh I was pissed. I wanted to snap back "Then talk to the supervisor." Only problem, that night, I was the supervisor. ( I did supervisor fill in) I was mad for the rest of the night referring to him when it was safe to cuss as that f---ing Napolean bas---. He was short with dark hair. I was at my job in a professional setting and he responded like that. I feel sorry for anyone on the street who encounters that individual.

That's only a Civil liability defense. The real problem is the govt. not cracking down on cops who are repeatedly disciplined. As soon as they hear the word
UNION, they cower in the corner. Screw the Unions, fire them, if justified.

Yes, that teaches other decent cops a lesson. Do whatever it takes to protect a brother officer, regardless of what he does. I've experienced it in other workplaces as well.
Attorney Alan Dershowitz (who was involved in officers' misconduct cases) described how part of officers' training is how to testify in court; it's known as "Testilying."

You are absolutely right Win. My ex-cop friend talked about that too. Those who don't go along with the BS are thought of as snitches, undesirable and their work lives become miserable.

I just read about a cop who got away with abusing and arresting a man on his own property for no good reason due to qualified immunity. The man spent a week in jail before being released and his case against the cop was dismissed. Damned shame. :mad:
 
There are many things in our society that are disgusting these days and this is right up there among the very top. When people learn to not trust authority figures everything goes down hill fast.
 
Sandra Bland was pulled over for changing lanes without using her blinkers in Texas. All the cop had to do was write the ticket. However, he wanted to show her who was boss. So he told her she had to extinguished her cigarette which she refused to do. He then arrested her and supposedly, she committed suicide in the jail.

The arrest was unnecessary in the first place. A cop normally stands behind at the driver's window. After getting driver's license and insurance, all he had to do was finish the ticket and move on. He was not in danger from a cigarette. Heck, for decades cops have dealt with drivers who were smoking. The so-called trained cop escalated the situation simply because he was on a power trip. So she ended dead in custody.
 
I've had very few interactions with police officers. As a child, I was also wired to trust & respect police officers; most of us were.
But with age, comes learning.
I remember this like it was yesterday.

At 19, my girlfriend & I had a picnic planned in a park. I went to the restroom. When I walked in, I saw a man on the floor, slumped against the wall next to a urinal. I thought, "He'll probably never get drunk again when he realizes he passed out on a dirty restroom floor."
After a few seconds, I realized how quiet it was & took a closer look & saw that he wasn't breathing; he was dead. And the brown swede jacket he was wearing was soaked in dried blood. And the zipper on the gym bag was partly open & there was a bunch of cash in it.
I ran out, told my girlfriend about it & we walked across the street to a gas station & called police. They told us to meet them at the park.

One cop went in the restroom & the other one stayed with us. The cop came out of the restroom & said, "Yeah, that's the 211."
He told us the guy tried to rob the liquor store a block away & the clerk shot him.

The cop asked me if I touched anything in the bathroom. I said, "Only the urinal handle to flush it."

The cop asked me, "Did you see the money in the bag?" I said, "Yes."

The cop asked me, "How much cash did you take?"

I answered, "None, sir. How much cash did YOU take?"

The cop asked me, "Why are you being a smart ass?"

I said, "Because you accused me of being a thief."

The cop says, "No, I didn't; I asked you if you touched the money."

I said, "No, you asked me how much cash I took. Don't you see the difference?"

He said "Pfffft" & walked away, mumbling something about "Long-Haired Freaks." The other cop took our names & addresses.

After I calmed down, I asked my date: "Where do they find such dickheads?"

I like the way you stood your ground, Win.

I'll admit to being a little scared (at 19), but I was so angry......
Ironic that later, several cases were in the news about cops stealing drug money during raids & stealing drugs, valuables, guns & cash from the police evidence lockers. Every time I hear about crooked cops, I'm reminded of that interaction.
"Protect & Serve......."
 
And then of course there's the retired N.Y. City policeman who assaulted a police officer with a flagpole during the insurrection.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/23/nyregion/nypd-officer-arrested-capitol-riot.html
Another former police officer (High Point) was arrested for taking part in the insurrection.
https://www.wfdd.org/story/former-high-point-officer-faces-charges-connection-insurrection
And a Pennsylvania police officer has been charged with taking part in the insurrection after he boldly posted a video of himself "rushing a line of police officers" on Facebook. Not the brightest bulb on the tree!

Check this story out. For decades police were literally getting away with MURDER under shield of a Badge, times they are a changing. This poor 15 year old was just starting out his life!

You are absolutely right and it makes me sick, angry and frustrated. How about these stories. There was a time these things were not published in main stream newspapers. So there was Ebony and Jet magazines which focuses on Black issues and entertainment. I'll never forget when my son was about 3 years old (coming up on 50 years ago), I read these stories that angered me and broke my heart. Neither of the officers faced charges, as so often was the case for many years. All of the victims below were Black (or brown).
1. An 8 year old boy was out with his father one evening for a walk. A cop shot and killed the little boy. His excuse...the child "looked like the perp" they'd been looking for!!
2. A 14 year old stole a bike. He was riding away from the cop, had no weapon. The cop shot him in the back and killed him. I'm reading how cops were getting away with these things and feared for my son ever since.
Fast forward...
3. A 15 year Puerto Rican boy (who was brown skinned) was busted for having marijuana. 2 cops had him down on the ground, his hands were over his head and he gave no resistance. The cop shot and killed that boy.
And this one split our office for awhile because our supervisor knew the cop's family. Her good friend who worked with us felt like most of us that the cop was in the wrong. She said even her children acted the scenario out and no way did that cop need to shoot the boy.
4. An 18 year old had done something, forgot what but he was running away from the cops. He went to jump a fence I believe (so his back was to them) and they shot him down and killed him. I told myself that the cop would not have another days peace. I found out several years later from that supervisor that he led a tortured existence until that very day.
I could go on and on but there are literally too many incidences to count at this point.
