A Covington police officer, the subject of two police brutality investigations, resigned Tuesday, just after he appeared in a St. Tammany Parish courtroom and admitted choking a city resident during a traffic stop and leaving him handcuffed in the back of a patrol cruiser for “an inordinate amount of time.”

Well he was caught and brought before the bar so it’s an honorable mention then right. Wrong!

Driscoll was ordered to resign from the Covington Police Department and forbidden from holding a law enforcement position for the duration of his probation.

He was forced to resign, why would that be!? Oh that’s right, if he was fired it could affect his future prospects for a job in law enforcement.  Instead of doing what was best for the public and law abiding citizens he abuses they protect the out of control officer.  Dollars to doughnuts he goes and gets a job in Canton after this.

Because beating up civilians and throwing them in the back of a cruiser is only a problem if you get caught.  You’ll get a light slap on the wrist to make the public feel better.  Don’t worry you’ll be back to work in no time.

A Beaumont police officer accused of leaking confidential information is retiring from the force.

Well maybe it wasn’t really that bad, they did suspend him with pay during the investigation.

Sources tell Fox 4 that Officer Eugene Wilson released information that compromised a federal drug case.

Well at least this leak didn’t result in anyone being killed or injured, but he’s retiring at the end of the month and no charges are being filed.

Because who cares if you destroy a case investigating something currently against the law.  The laws are just there to create an artificial market anyway.

*As always if you find the name, contact me.

A former Seabrook police sergeant was sentenced to 18 months’ probation yesterday after being found guilty by Newburyport District Court Judge Peter Doyle for drunken driving following a multi-car crash on North End Boulevard in Salisbury on July 31.

So a DUI and the cause of an accident.  I guess 18 months probation is reasonable right?

Mark F. Preston, 51, of 815 Lafayette Road, Seabrook, was also sentenced
to 18 months’ probation for leaving the scene of personal injury,
avoiding the potential of up to two years in jail. Those charged with
drunken driving for the first time are not often sent to jail.

Oh how nice, he fled the scene of the accident and then they added this final icing to the cake.

O’Connell said the leaving the scene of personal injury charge was
generally continued for 18 months, meaning that as long as he adheres to
the condition of his probation, the charge will be dismissed. A third
charge for marked lanes violation was dropped.

Oh how nice, as long as he obeys his probation the worst of the charges will be dismissed.  Oh wait, there’s more!

Days after his arrest, Preston resigned from the force, according to
Seabrook town officials. But Preston, through a union representative
from the New England Police Benevolent Society, disputed the town’s
claim that Preston resigned. Instead, Preston had informed the town he
was going to retire, thus protecting his pension fund and his
certification as a police officer, according to the union
representative.

I don’t know if he was successful in altering his resignation, but this whole incident stinks to high heaven with an innocent civilian caught in the middle.  Unsurprisingly he was a state rep for a while.

 Because when you’re a corrupt cop and a politician, a criminal record is a requirement.

A Madison police officer was sentenced to six years in state prison today for soliciting a nude photo from an investigator posing as a 13-year-old girl online, the state Attorney General’s Office said in a news release.

Ex cop and a child molester in prison, he’s going to have a rough ride but I was disappointed until I also saw this.

The 25-year veteran of the Madison police department forfeited his job and must register as a sex offender. He will also be barred from future public jobs.

So initially I was thinking Accountabilibuddable except it appears he can retain his public pension after he gets out of prison.  He needs to be squashed with such force that he looks like a bug on a windshield.  He’s being punished but not squashed so into the honorable mention it goes.

I’ve got nothing for this one.

A police department spokesman has confirmed a citizen complaint that an officer shot a pit bull, chained in its yard, while narcotics officers executed a search warrant on 20th Street Monday afternoon.

See, evidently this cop felt that confinement wasn’t enough for his personal safety.  As always they shot the dog, properly restrained or not.  Why is this a criminal count though?  Well had anyone else done this it would be classified as animal cruelty given the dog was restrained and as such no reasonable person would have a reason to fear for their life.  Not to mention this little fact.

Turner said she was visiting her mother’s home and she and her 3-year-old daughter were about three feet from the dog when an officer aimed his gun at the Spook, a 3-year-old dog the family has had since he was a puppy.

Sounds like the officer was bored and wanted to shock and awe.

Because shooting dogs is what you do when you want to kill something and when it’s chained it’s like shooting fish in a barrel since no justification is required.

The Caddo police chief turned himself in Tuesday on an embezzlement charge that was filed after authorities said he took a firearm from the department’s evidence room.

So what exactly did he do entirely?

An affidavit by OSBI Agent Donnie Long states Glover removed a Ruger .44 magnum from the evidence room and traded it to a man for a Taurus 9 mm pistol.

Best part is, the owner of the firearm in the evidence locker was entitled to it’s return. This was nothing more than theft of property, a firearm no less, by a state charged with protecting it while in his possession.

Remember, the anti-rights crowd consider these people “anointed” and would say this wouldn’t have been a problem if people couldn’t own firearms to begin with.  Never mind the fact that the chief himself committed the crime.

Because if you’re a cop looking for a new gun, just visit the evidence locker.

Andrew J. Adell, 30, a six-year veteran of the Manalapan Police Department, admitted in court Monday that he was driving drunk on March 6 in his 2004 Jeep when he attempted to make a right turn onto South Street in Colts Neck before veering off the highway and colliding head-on with a 2003 Ford driven by Robert Felix, 40, of Keansburg, according to testimony offered to state Superior Court Judge Francis P. DeStefano.

How nice of them to just force him to resign his post instead of just firing his ass.  He admitted to being twice above the legal limit, and he even hit someone resulting in severe bodily harm.  The fact they didn’t fire him still allows him the ability to find a job some place else.  It appears that the assault by auto charge is a misdemeanor offense in New Jersey meaning he’s not hit by the costs that come with a felony.

He’s been given a second chance by his department by not just firing his ass and putting that black mark on his record.  How many non-leo civilians would get that type of second chance?

Because when you are twice the legal limit and run over a pedestrian you shouldn’t be fired.  Instead you can resign to go work some place else. 

This guy was probably buddies with Officer Roid Rage
given it’s the exact same department so color me not shocked on this one folks.

Michael Reese, 42, was arraigned Friday in Municipal Court on one count of domestic violence, a first-degree misdemeanor. Reese pleaded not guilty and was released after signing a $5,000 personal recognizance bond.

What exactly is it thought that he supposedly did though according to the charges?

Reese struck the woman in the back of the head during an argument Sept. 21, according to the court records. Reese also reportedly grabbed the woman’s arm and swung her into a door frame, causing injury to her head and neck area. Reese also pushed the woman over a dining room chair and kicked her several times in the leg, according to court records.

I’m sure this numb nut went home and slept like a baby.  With this incident they at least suspended the officer, however given the history of the department as well as the local political officials
I know why he slept like a baby.  Unless he’s actually convicted where the Lautenberg Amendment
will come into play he’s probably still going to have a job come morning.

Because when your woman pisses you off the proper response is to beat the crap out of her since nothing will happen to you.  If another officer can threaten to shoot someone and harass them why would anything happen to you?  Especially when he’s on video in three separate instances.
