At least this one’s getting prison time.
But it’s bad, very very bad.
Have no fear though because the judge did the following:
Honestly, he should have left it at the maximum sentence. Even then I don’t think it’s really enough
State Sponsored Criminal #393: Michael Alan Chilldres
Because after 18 years with the department, he felt he was free and clear to do as he wanted.
This one there is way too much in the way of fishy going on for it to be acceptable.
Two officers patted him down and didn’t find a weapon. He was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car, he pulled a stashed weapon out and shot himself, in the head, while in handcuffs with his hands behind him. No I’m not making this up, this isn’t from The Onion either.
Know what’s interesting about that video, in every officer they didn’t have the cuffs cinched down. There was a lot of play and free movement ability with the cuffs up the forearm.
So at minimum what this department is saying is that our officers are so inept at their jobs that two of them could not find an expertly hidden firearm that was easily within reach of someone in handcuffs.
Further our officers are incapable of properly securing said handcuffs as to maximally limit movement while not causing issues with circulation.* Further we have even more problems that cause it to fail the smell test.
If you looked that up in the dictionary you would find it under “convenient”. No matter how you cut this story the officers were at a minimum inept, at worst cold blooded killers.
Could this man have actually killed himself? Possibly, especially given the following if true:
He could have removed the weapon and stashed it if that is true. Stashing anything and everything in the car is a good idea if you can make sure you’re prints aren’t on it. Once he was in cuffs maybe he figured it was over and gave up. Who knows, but that is yet another example at a minimum of police ineptitude at minimum that cost a man his life.

*I have been placed in cuffs by officers for demonstration purposes and every time those cuffs weren’t going to go half way up more forearm, at most you got 1/2 inch of play.
This isn’t the first wolf on the count that operated like this.
State Sponsored Criminal #390: Todd L. Smith
Because when trying to manipulate someone, especially a younger person, it’s better to be in a position of trust and power.
At least this wolf dressed like a guard dog didn’t get into a position of power within a school.

Because if you’re going to prey upon little ones, become a cop, it puts their parents at ease.
We all know how hard the Seattle Police department works to get their employees eligible for the count. Today we get a rare behind the scenes look at how they grow the outstanding police officers that are a shining example that others should inspire themselves to. (If you didn’t have a clue, that whole last sentence was sarcastic!)
A Seattle police officer caught on video kicking a handcuffed suspect in the head has been suspended for 10-days, but he won’t have to serve the suspension as long as he stays out of trouble.
Some how he escaped the wrath of the legal system, though an internal investigation did reveal the use of excessive force. His punishment a 10 day suspension with this note:
How nice. So that’s out they have groomed so many fine upstanding officers.
State Sponsored Criminal #388: Garth Haynes
Because you know that you only need the threaten punishment when it comes to officers of the law. Following through does absolutely nothing to drive home the point that what they did is wrong. Heaven forbid you use the misfit to set an example of.
Krawetz was in the middle of a hearing in to determine whether he should be fired.
Interesting, maybe he isn’t one that should be destined for the count. There was obviously a reason for his resignation.
It took a hearing and he was possibly going to retain his job after being convicted of felony assault? Well at least he was convicted though I do find the following interesting:
Not to mention:
He was convicted of felony battery by Judge Edward Clifton who decided against jail time. Krawetz was ordered to undergo counseling and given a 10-year suspended sentence.
The anointed are special compared to you and I and it’s best to be remembered. I didn’t see anything about his law enforcement certificate being revoked so it is possible he can seek employment at a different department.
What boggles my mind is that he received no punishment and that he wasn’t fired immediately upon his conviction. Instead they continued to pay him while he actually didn’t perform any duty to earn his pay check.
In this case, there may be a conviction but the system still stinks to high heaven.
State Sponsored Criminal #387: Edward Krawetz
Because when someone is handcuffed and sitting on the curb it is acceptable to kick them in the head. Never mind that honestly that can be considered lethal force as it was to the head and not the body or limbs.
At least they have sent his ass home, but $60k a year still? Not to mention that under the statement, “once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three or more times is enemy action,” what is six incidents?
Who knows maybe they were incidents that in the grand scheme aren’t actually that bad…
He admits to breaking the rules, yet he continues to be paid for nothing and wants his job back. This is why many people are loosing their faith in law enforcement professionals. While not all are like this individual, their willingness to not expel him from their ranks taints them all.
State Sponsored Criminal #386: German Bosque
Because rules are for the little guy. Why? Because if you want to make an omelette you’re gonna need to break a few eggs.
Words fail to express my rage. I shall do as Weer’d said and let it speak for itself.
State Sponsored Criminal #385: The St. Paul Minnesota SWAT Team
Because you need to teach little Timmy and Tiffany to obey their perverted Uncle Sam at an early age, and if you plug their dog and make them lay next to it, the next time Pedo-bear TSA agent molest them they’ll ignore it because they don’t want their new Sparky to take a bullet.
