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.

 In 2009, while newly elected State Attorney Michael McAuliffe was
still building a reputation for cracking down on public corruption, his
office charged two former West Palm Beach police officers with battery
and official misconduct in the beating of a handcuffed robbery suspect
captured on video.

Prosecutors actively pursued the case until
September, when they dropped all charges against one officer and allowed
another to plead to a misdemeanor. The move prompted speculation that
McAuliffe dropped the case to garner favor with the local police union
for his upcoming re-­election bid. Three weeks later, a retired police
officer filed an ethics complaint with the Florida Commission on Ethics
against McAuliffe, citing a meeting between him and union officials
shortly before the case ended as evidence.

The prosecutors office claimed that new evidence was discovered however a review of this new evidence shows no new information.  So either the case was unfounded to begin with, which is unlikely, or more likely the prosecutors office used it as an excuse.

In this case instead of the criminal themselves, we have one of the people protecting them.

Because you only do the right thing until you need to get reelected.  When that happens everything for sale.

In the third-largest settlement for a police incident in the past two decades, the city of Minneapolis on Friday approved a $1 million payment to a mother of two who was severely burned when officers, acting on a tip looking for drugs they never found, used a flash/sound device, commonly known as a flash grenade, during a raid on a south Minneapolis apartment.

The injury thought isn’t even the best part.

City spokesman Matt Laible told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, “The application correctly set out the grounds for a no knock warrant. The warrant itself did not include the “no knock” provision due to an inadvertent error.”

So lets make this clear.  Cops execute a warrant that was issued with an “announcement of authority” clause as a no-knock.  Then they find absolutely no drugs in the residence or evidence there of, and they injure someone not even associated with the investigation.  Good news for the cops though:

No police officer involved in the raid has been disciplined for the incident, the city confirmed.

Every officer violated the terms of the warrant and they carry the responsibility of it.

Because who needs to knock when you can lob flash grenades at people injuring them and get away with it.

Seriously I started trying to map out the criminals and investigators but the mesh was just unbelievable.

In 2005, a moose was standing somewhere in the mountains north of Columbia Falls when Jesse Jacobs allegedly shot it. Jacobs didn’t have a permit, however, so he reportedly got one from a friend who was a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The tribal member took the meat. Jacobs claimed the head and antlers, which he would later mount and hang on his wall.

Jacobs was a member of the local law enforcement.  The list of incidents and problems, many of which were poaching related, are numerous and lengthy.  They even include a DUI while boating cover up and the cop was told NOT to take his boat out by a fellow officer just moments before. 

Seriously how can I make an accurate count with things like this?

In September 2010, on the same day that Jacobs was charged with felony poaching, FWP began to take sworn statements from Lake County Sheriff’s deputies and detectives, trying to determine who else in the office might have been poaching. FWP ultimately interviewed more than 50 people in the case, including several informants and former officers. The investigation, led by Game Warden Frank Bowen, pieced together details of what was known as the Coyote Club, a circle of Lake County law enforcement officers who’d allegedly been poaching game animals for more than a decade.

This article is just one big gigantic bag of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

During the investigation, Adams interviewed several females who had prior relationships with Kotson. Every woman alleged Kotson had made persistent, aggressive sexual advances toward them on different occasions.

One of the females interviewed accused Kotson of holding her down and forcing her to engage in unconsensual sex on three separate occasions. On one of those occasions, she said, her juvenile daughter was present.

He supposedly never committed any of the crimes while on duty, however it is certainly possible that he was victim hunting while on the job.  This guy obviously has a history of issues and it’s hard to believe the department was completely unaware.

A former Missouri sheriff was sentenced today to 18 months in federal prison for violating the civil rights of women who he coerced into exposing their breasts or other body parts.

While he was sentenced and has lost his job this honestly isn’t nearly enough given the following.

Some of the women were the victims of domestic violence assault or vehicular accidents, and Groom told them they needed to expose parts of their bodies to document injuries, even when they insisted that they had no injuries to those parts of their bodies, according to Groom’s written plea agreement.

It takes a seriously demented individual to victimize women in that position.  Not only did he do it under the guise of helping the victim, but he conned subordinates into collecting the information even though it served no law enforcement purpose.

Because when you victimize someone who’s already a victim, it doesn’t matter.  If they didn’t want to participate they shouldn’t have become a victim.

David Chadd, a CNN iReporter from Las Vegas, was among the crowd shopping for video games set up in the Walmart’s grocery section. He said Newman “was not resisting” arrest as he was led away from the crowd by a police officer.

That officer, Chadd said, then suddenly hooked the suspect around the leg, grabbed him and “slammed him face first into the ground.”

There were a lot of incidents over Black Friday.  I question what initially happened, however given how hectic Black Friday is I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.  The officers in this instance were looking to make a show of force.

Because when someone is cooperative the proper response is to throw their ass into the ground.
