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.

Here’s another one, this one from Bob S.

A Fort Worth police officer is off the job — not only charged with DWI, but investigators say he was driving around shooting a handgun with a convicted felon.

I do find it interesting that he’s not being charged on any other firearms violations than just giving a firearm to a felon.  Nothing for the negligence or recklessness involved in the incident.  However I did notice this little line.

Officer Gonzalez is 35 years old. He joined the force in 2002. He’s been placed on restrictive duty.

Evidently this department has a history of DWI with officers to boot.  With 12 since 2008, one of which caused a fatal crash, that averages out to be 3 a year.  Then to add further icing to the cake:

More than a dozen Fort Worth police officers have been disciplined for DWI since 2008; many of them were fired, and one of them was responsible for causing a fatal crash.

Many, not all, were fired.  Such fine an exemplary men they have in Fort Worth to protect the public from the injuries and deaths caused by DWI.

Because when you want to have a good time nothing beats vandalism of public property, while driving drunk, and handing a gun to your felon buddy.  You’re a cop, what could go wrong!

The Sedgwick County deputy who allegedly beat a 63-year-old physically handicapped man during a traffic stop has resigned, according to a county commissioner.

Again with the resignation instead of firing his ass to prevent his employment as a LEO elsewhere.  What was this horrible crime that the man committed?

Poole stopped Steven Dye, 63, on July 4 to ticket him for an improper lane change, then accused Dye of resisting arrest and obstructing justice. Dye has filed a notice to seek damages from the sheriff’s office and the county for the severe beating he says Poole and another man inflicted after the traffic stop.

And this isn’t the first time for this sheriff to be in hot water because of his department either.  The same officer injured another individual in a previous arrest.

Because firing an officer would hamper their employment opportunities so instead just let them resign when they know they’ve been caught.

A federal court has ordered the city of Madison to pay members of a gun-rights group $10,000 to settle a lawsuit.

Notice its the city paying for the officers screw up, not the officers responsible.  Also note the damage bill is so low the city isn’t going to even notice, doubly so since the city insurance will probably pick up the bill.

This case started prior to the Wisconsin concealed carry law when open carry was their only option since it was legal.

Because deprivation of rights is a administration problem, no need for the actual perpetrators to pay.

A state trooper has been indicted on several sexual abuse charges involving a child, the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed Thursday.

A cop and a child molester, will this judge worry about his safety?

Because safety of the officer always comes before the safety of the public and law abiding.

A former Indianapolis police officer who set a string of apartment fires won’t serve time in jail.

The reason he’s not going to jail?

Judge Grant Hawkins expressed concern about Russell’s safety if he sentenced him to prison.

So remember, if you want to be a criminal, become a cop.  That way you can escape prison.  Not only that, but you can get your felony reduced after the fact.

If Russell successfully completes his probation he can come back to the court and ask for alternative misdemeanor sentencing.

Other than the anointed class, who else gets that kind of treatment?

Because prison isn’t for bad police, it’s only for the the lowly peons.

A man plowing snow for a church pastor claims a police chief violently and falsely arrested him, and that when he asked the chief to take it easy because he was disabled, the chief said, “Disabled my ass,” and kneed him in the back, dislocating four spinal probes.

No good deed goes unpunished, especially when a bored police chief has nothing better to do.  Have a disability not immeidately apparent,he doesn’t care and can risk spinal injury and beat the hell out of you.  Even if you’re not resisting arrest and have done nothing but try and help the public good.  Then you get stuck with the medical and legal bills while he keeps on treating the public like a group of children that he needs to beat on a regular basis.

Seriously go read the complaint, it’s down right despicable and the department should be bankrupted for the chiefs behavior and tolerating it.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 218: Chief Justin Burke Childers

Because the right thing to do when someone is helping clear snow in a blizzard is to beat the hell out of him while arresting him.  When they’re compliant and alert you of a medical condition you should call bull shit and work to aggravate that condition.

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.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 217: Amy Dean

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