Know Why I Run the State Sponsored Criminal Count?

Via Uncle we have a perfect example of why I run the this thing.

The city police officer fired for a pattern of verbal abuse and making threats is trying to get his job back.

Patrolman Daniel Harless is proceeding with the arbitration process,
said Kristen Bates Aylward, an assistant city law director.

Yes that is the same Daniel Harless, Officer Roid Rage, that can be seen in the count at #7.  This man had a history of behaving like this and it was documented on video in at least three separate incidents.  Even with that behavior though he is attempting to be reinstated as a police officer.

Here’s what this whole roid-rage incident teaches the public.  This behavior is acceptable as long as it does not end up being distributed to the public.  Don’t believe me?  If OCC had not obtained a copy of the video and released it do you think anything would have happened to officer roid-rage?  He had two previously documented incidents and nothing happened.  There was a city councilman that attempted to come to his defense trying to justify his behavior.

His argument to the arbitrator is going to center around the fact that his dismissal was due to public pressure, not because he did anything wrong.  Think about that for a second.  The fact we found this piece of black toxic mold and shined a heavy UV light on him is a reason for him to remain.  For you see if it hadn’t been for that UV light he would have never been dismissed.  Never mind the following fact:

The incident was reviewed by an outside prosecutor who concluded
Harless’ actions weren’t serious enough to warrant criminal charges.

If you or I had done anything like that we would have gone to jail and spent a bunch of time in front of a judge.  If we escaped without jail time it would have been miraculous given the fact that we threatened and intimidated and individual, while armed.  The only difference between him and us is the fact that he is sponsored by the state.

Still think the majority of police departments want to weed out the bad eggs?  For the most part they’re forced into retaining them, because unless you do something really egregious, you’re just a state hired thug.

SSCC #306 – TSA

They’re back, this time with an interesting incident.

A TSA screener was arrested at JFK Airport for hurling a cup of hot
coffee at an American Airlines pilot who told her and some colleagues to
tone down a profanity- laced conversation in a terminal, sources said
yesterday.

From the description the conversation was anything but professional.  The pilot requested that they stop it, since they were in uniform and thus representative of their employer.  The agent was less that polite and when he attempted to grab her badge to get her name she responded with a face full of hot coffee.

This is completely unpossible though given the high caliber individuals the TSA hires for their character and high degree of professionalism.

The pilot didn’t escape this mess either though.

Trivett was not seriously injured. El, of Brooklyn’s East New York, was
given a desk-appearance ticket on harassment and misdemeanor-assault
charges.

Let that be a lesson to just let TSA agents do whatever the hell they want.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 306: Lateisha El

Because when you work for the TSA, professionalism takes on a whole new meaning.

SSCC #303-305: New Haven

Here’s one giant bag of unpossible given these are anointed individuals.

Three police officers were arrested on charges of interfering with a police officer, and two of them were charged with unlawfully discharging their guns.

The arrests followed an investigation into a claim that one or more off-duty officers illegally fired guns early Sunday outside a bar. No injuries were reported.

Don’t worry though.  I’m sure even with their gross negligence they will continue to be paid by the taxpayers during the investigation.  Even if they do find something though, don’t fret because I’m sure the punishment will be more training.  Never mind the fact that something ad dumb as this qualifies under the “You Can’t Fix Stupid” clause.

304: Charles Kim

305: Krzystof Ruszczyk

Because guns and alcohol only don’t mix if you’re a civilian.  Just the same it’s only civilians who can always hold their liquor.

SSCC #302–West Virginia

A former Pocahontas County sheriff’s deputy has been indicted for allegedly sexually abusing four children and one adult woman over a period of 10 years.

Yes it is just as bad as it sounds.

The indictment alleges Totten, a former sheriff’s deputy, forced four juvenile girls and one adult woman to have sex while in the line of duty. The adult was allegedly forced to have sex while incarcerated, the indictment says.

None of the victims are relatives or family members.  Even the police have bad eggs, yet they get a free pass to qualified immunity and laws that help restrain victims from fighting back.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 302: Bradley C. Totten

Because the law exists to protect the thugs who decide to commit their crimes while working for the state.  Their only request is you not get caught.

SSCC #301 – Harrodsburg

A former Harrodsburg police officer who pleaded guilty to 148 counts of sex crimes involving a 14-year-old girl has been sentenced to three years in prison

Sadly, this is another predator preying upon the sheep while pretending to be a sheep dog.

He was an officer who conducted Drug Abuse Resistance Education classes in Mercer County schools. He was suspended without pay after his indictment and turned in his badge and gun.

As horrible as his actions are, they are only worth 3 years, of which he must serve 2.5.  It’s good to know how our laws our enforced evenly across the entire population.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 301: Jason Elder

Because the real reason police officers are stationed around our youth is to provide another access point for predators, right?

SSCC #300–Portland

This works for #300 quite well.

Ron Frashour, the Portland Police officer who was fired from the force in November 2010 after he shot Aaron Campbell in the back with an assault rifle—killing the distraught, unarmed man outside his home in January 2010—may soon be reinstated into the police force.

According to the Oregonian, state arbitrator Jane Wilkinson ruled in favor of the Portland Police Association and that Frashour “should get his job back.”

Doesn’t that just make you all warm and fuzzy inside.  Cop shoots an unarmed man in the back who was surrendering, doesn’t get charged, gets fired for his negligence, and then the department is forced to rehire him.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 300: Ron Frashour

Because shooting an unarmed man in the back is perfectly acceptable behavior if you’re a cop.  It is sponsored and protected by the state so he need not worry about loosing his job or going to prison for killing someone.

SSCC #299–Harvey

A federal investigation of the Harvey Police Department found officers engaged in “heavy-handed uses of force that were largely avoidable.”

What kind of avoidable though?

“It is apparent that, at best, some of those incidents could have had a better outcome if the officer had employed different tactics. At worst, some of these incidents constitute prosecutable excessive force,” wrote Jonathan Smith, a Justice Department official.

So in other words they ran home to use of force because they could.  It ends up that at least half of the incidents investigated were all for some form of “contempt of cop”.  It appears that the city of Harvey Illinois firmly believes that their officers should behave like Eric Cartman.  The biggest lesson in this though is that usually corruption like this is systemic and spreads through all areas of the department.

More than 200 untested rape kits were discovered and the evidence led to charges against 14 people — including a sheriff’s correctional officer suspected in a 1997 assault of a child.

So as usual, they protected their own.  Still trust the our fearless overlords?  There’s a reason they’re fearless, it’s called qualified immunity.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 299: The Whole Harvey Police Department (If you don’t want to police your own, you’re culpable.)

Because being a cop means everyone must respect your authoritah, even the little kid you want to abuse.

SSCC #298 – Houston

This cop needs to seriously calm the hell down.  He attempted to steal someone’s personal property and someone tried to step back.  The officer claims they touched him, even though video shows otherwise.  The officer claims to have authority when in fact he had none.

The reason the cop wanted that camera is because he wants to have total control of the situation, including evidence that could be used against him.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 298: Officer Marty Anthony

Because someone videotaping you is worthy of using physical force, including tasing someone.
