Police Cruiser Slams Into Couple On Bike, Couple Flies Over Trooper’s Car

"A cop's dash-cam shows him slamming his car into a couple on a motorcycle. The impact was extremely violent and you can see the couple go flying. After the office realized what happens he stops his car and gets out. He then go out of his car and the video shows it looks like he seemed to be more concerned with his car than the couple he just seriously injured. He very calmly asked 'You Alright', then he checked on his vehicle a few times." Continue reading →

Cops Use Injured Animals For Target Practice

"Animal lovers are questioning a policy where Merced Police officers take injured animals out to the police shooting range to kill them. The penal code has been on the books for decades. Some officers say it's the most humane thing you can do, while others call it barbaric. Officers use deadly force to save the lives of others, but what about shooting severely injured dogs or cats found on the street? According to a California penal code, it's an officer's discretion."

“We’re Really Not Apologetic” for two killings, say Texas’ Airborne Snipers

"On Tuesday, a grand jury decided not to indict a Texas trooper who had killed two unarmed Guatemalan immigrants after shooting them from a helicopter last year. A police officer in a helicopter shot at a nonviolent suspect and killed two innocent men, and his actions were deemed defensible because the DPS gave him authority to do so. Before he fell under intense scrutiny, McCraw had expressed no remorse for putting people on the ground in danger while using lethal force against a nonviolent suspect. A few months before the incident, he had told interviewers, 'We're really not apologetic about it. We've got an obligation to protect our men and women when we're trying to protect Texas.'"

Cop Punches Restrained Man In Testicles, Another Has Foot On His Head

"I was walking back to Baldwin St. & I came across loud cries coming from an alleyway 'Stop, I’m not resisting' the voice yells. I hear glass bottles breaking and literally what seems to be some sort of fight going on Behind the locked gate… the first image in this album. I looked through the hole to see what was going on.

So I open the gate and walk through and I see Officers stoping on this mans head, punching him in his balls & stepping on his head…." Continue reading →

Teen arrested for iPhone ‘terrorism’ at school faces 20 years in prison

"The boy, who has not been named, was a student at H.L. Bourgeois High school. He had downloaded a phone application called 'The Real Strike' which utilizes the camera on a smart phone and superimposes a picture of a gun over the live-feed video. Whatever the camera phone points towards shows up on the screen with a graphic of a gun pointed towards it. The user can then use the app to simulate a mock shootout, and can record and share the results. The student used his phone at school to record some of his classmates, allegedly making a video of a mock shootout at school." Continue reading →

Police officer shoots unarmed man 41 times, reloading twice

"I grew up in Garland Texas (where this took place). And everyone in the DFW area knows which suburbs of Dallas have the worst police. Garland Police has been at the top of that list (as #1) with most people who have voiced their opinion for at least 30 years, stating that they find Garland Police to be the most disagreeable. Garland is where previously fired cops go for employment. All of them should be locked into a burning portable toilet." Continue reading →

Licensed to Kill: Growing Phenomenon of Police Shooting Unarmed Citizens

"This mindset that any challenge to police authority is a threat that needs to be 'neutralized' is a dangerous one that is part of a greater nationwide trend that sets law enforcement officers beyond the reach of the Fourth Amendment. Equally problematic is the trend in the courts that acquits officers involved in such shootings, letting them off with barely a slap to the wrists. What exactly are we teaching these young officers in the police academy when the slightest thing, whether it be a hand in a pocket, a man running towards them, a flashlight on a keychain, or a dehumanizing stare can ignite a strong enough 'fear for their safety' to justify firing on an unarmed person?"

It’s the law: Washington state lawmakers don’t get speeding tickets

"Washington state legislators headed to work can't get speeding tickets -- or so says the Washington State Patrol and at least one local police department. A spokesman for WSP says Washington lawmakers are constitutionally protected from receiving noncriminal traffic tickets during a legislative session, as well as 15 days before. A spokeswoman says The Tacoma Police Department abides by a similar policy. State Patrol spokesman Bob Calkins says the privilege not only applies to moving violations near the state Capitol in Olympia, but potentially anywhere in the state. The logic? Detaining lawmakers on the road may delay them from getting to the Capitol to vote." Continue reading →

Cop Gets Six Months For Killing Mackala Ross and Delores Epps

"Former Memphis police officer Alex Beard was speeding to a call with no siren when he rammed into a car, killing 13-year-old Mackala Ross and her mother, Delores Epps, age 53. Mackala’s father, Michael Ross, was severely injured, but survived the crash. This week the former officer was offered a plea deal by prosecutors: six months in jail. Mr. Ross said the sentence was like a 'slap in my face.' The prosecutor said 'this was the best that could be done.' Hmm.
