A Murfreesboro police detective is accused of selling fake products to her own colleagues.

Counterfeit products are a big problem because they are attempting to use brand weight to pass off a inferior product.  Charging someone a higher value price for an inferior product is theft.  Why would you add a label to a product and the accompanying documentation in an attempt to pass them off unless you were trying to steal someone’s money buy using a fake product?

I have to agree with Wizards estimate that the dispatcher that reported it is probably going to be labeled a rat.  He also nailed the different types of responses for the same crime on the head.  It’s that disparity in the response that ensures this is a criminal count.

Because selling counterfeit products is only a problem if the distributor is not anointed.

A longtime officer with the Plainview Police Department was indicted by a Hale County grand jury on felony theft charges Tuesday.

Couple that with the following.

According to District Attorney Wally Hatch, Sanchez also was charged with two Class A misdemeanors, for forgery and official misconduct.

No one is stating what the officer has done and that concerns me.  It was obviously done while he was on duty, yet they won’t air their dirty laundry.  I wouldn’t doubt this is another example of a corrupt cop in the war on nouns.

Because when you’re a corrupt cop, your fellow LEOs will shield you from the damage of your corruption and hide it from the public.

An Orange County Deputy was in jail Tuesday night after he was accused of molesting a disabled woman. The victim said she was scared for her life because Deputy William Martinez was in full uniform and armed with a gun at the time.

Another officer who not only found another victim while on the job, but used his position to intimidate the victim into compliance.  Given the fact that citizens have to just endure illegal searches and mistreatment by the police under protection of law it’s no wonder this type of behavior exists.

This man is a full count no matter his punishment short of death.  The department and the legal system acted to provide him the protections he needed to be invulnerable to his prey.  Are all cops like this?  No, but there are cops like this out there so why is the law protecting them while violating the citizenry.  While a cop has every right to go home at the end of his shift, the law abiding citizen has more of a right to remain unmolested and unventilated.

Because the real reason for all those LEO protections is to make sure the criminals can hide in plain sight with impunity.

h/t Uncle on the reason article.

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.
