Tag Archives: Cops Behaving Badly

This is a first of the 4 legged variety.

An off-duty Campbell police officer was walking Storm and allowed the dog to go to the bathroom in a fenced-in area. But the dog saw the boy and ran after him, apparently mistaking a running boy for a suspect.

Remember though, had it been your or my dog, there would be a very strong and justified push to put down the dog as a dangerous animal.  There is no justification for attacking a 8 year old boy who was playing.  Why was the dog not trained to follow verbal commands.  The dog should not have attacked anyone without being instructed to do so.  At a minimum why in the name of Sam Hell was that dog anywhere off of a leash if that is it’s behavioral model.  It’s not as if the dog was defending it’s property or owner from a direct threat.  The property wasn’t even the owners.

“Anything running, they’re trained … could be a potential threat. And all he’s doing is reacting and doing what he was trained to do,” Rusnak told WFMJ.

Wait, your department did what!?  You trained your dogs to go after potential threats.  Who thought that it would be necessary to have a dog attack potential threats.  Where I’m from, your dog attacks my kid, if you don’t take it out to the woods and do it, I will.  Police dog or not, attacking a child, unprovoked, is completely unacceptable and shows severe training issues with the dog as well as handling issues with the officer responsible for the dog.

In this instance I’m going to blame the officer attempting to justify it since I am unsure of the name of the handler.

Because a police dog is different than your dog because the state views him as a police officer.  So when he runs off and attacks and innocent child, that’s just like a cop shooting a boy hiding in a shed.

A Blue Ash police officer, charged by Milford police in April with
operating a vehicle while intoxicated and reckless operation, pleaded
guilty to the latter misdemeanor charge on Monday.

Everyone makes mistakes though, maybe this was his first time and he should get a deal.

The offense occurred while William Fritts, 42, of Miami Township, was
off duty, and was his second reckless operation offense within a year, a
Clermont County Municipal Court worker said. He was sentenced to three
days in jail to be served at a residential intervention program, a
one-year driver’s license suspension (with certain privileges), 80 hours
of community service and $492 in fines and court costs.

Oh so obviously this wasn’t the guys first rodeo.  I’m so glad he’s out there making the streets safer from drunk drivers.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 192: William Fritts

Because someone in law enforcement should hold themselves to decent standards.  Especially with the long speeches of the dangers of drinking and driving.

Video and audio from the scene indicates the officers opened their car
doors briefly and shouted, “Hey. Stop moving.  Hey,” as Jefferson
started to  park his car. The officers shut their doors and drove
forward a few feet, while one officer told the other inside the case
“Just yank ‘em, right out.”

Without even fully assessing the situation they made the determination to use physical force.  Now before you say, “Well maybe it was necessary, he was hiding something.”

After finding no weapons or drugs in Jefferson’s car, SPD arrested him for “obstruction.”

Prosecutors later dropped that charge.

So let me get this straight the officers decided before even really making contact with the suspect to execute a use of physical force.  They then beat this man after pulling him from his car.  After beating him and searching his vehicle and finding nothing they trump a charge to justify the use of force.  Then the department comes and puts the icing on the cake.

“Had they shot him or something of that nature, I think we’d all be
saying that was excessive, but what they did was they took him into
custody, using physical force, no question about that, and he was
injured in the process. I think that’s unfortunate, but it’s not
unreasonable under the circumstances.”

This coming from the same department that did this little incident!?  How in the name of god is that even remotely justifiable.  They had no reasonable expectation to require the use of force at all.  No orders, no commands, just beat the hell out of the guy and we’ll fix it all in post.

Because in this day in age, go to full contact force first without reason or cause.  You can always make up something else later and the Seattle PD will back it up.

*As usual if you get a name please contact me.  I don’t care if they’re undercover cops, it’s getting posted.

Charges have been upgraded to Capital Murder against Jackson Police
Detective Natyyo Gray. He had been charged with felony child abuse in
the death of a one-year-old child.

No mention if he has been fired from his job yet. The abuse was discovered after the child was admitted into the hospital was severe abdominal injuries.  While he’s being charged with murder there is no mention of his dismissal from the department.  So this is going to stand in the full count unless new information arises.

A bistate crackdown on the Latin Kings street gang on Friday snared two
Chicago Police officers accused of using their badges to rob people in
Northwest Indiana and Illinois.

Imagine that, officers of the law acting to the detriment of society to support their gang.  While these individuals were caught this is being included in the count because in Chicago, the city where they concealed carry is prevented, obtaining a firearm is overly difficult, and overall the leadership believes that one should rely on the police department for assistance.

Because if you live in Chicago instead of calling the police when you’re being mugged, the police just show up and mug you instead.

A Cleveland police officer who returned to work after a
nearly eight-month suspension related to an alleged beating of a suspect on New Year’s Day tested positive for drugs after only one week on the job.

Didn’t even take him a week to screw up. There is no excuse for drug use, doubly so given the War on Nouns.  Which is why this makes the full count.

D’Angelo said a marijuana offense for an officer usually involves a
suspension and entry into a drug treatment or assistance program. He
said other officers, including supervisors and other public employees,
have tested positive for drugs or had alcohol related issues in the past
but not with as much controversy surrounding them.

The solution to this problem is much simpler and cheaper given the fact it is the taxpayer footing the bill.  Fire his ass and hold him to the same standards as anyone else.  Any company in the private sector would can your ass immediately, why isn’t this the same practice in the public sector.  Oh that’s right, public sector unions.

Because being a cop means the war on nouns doesn’t apply to you.  Doubly so since you share the name of a director well known for smoking the reefer.

A former San Diego police officer accused of trying to elicit sex from seven women he pulled over in the Gaslamp District was convicted of eight felony counts and four misdemeanors Thursday.

Jurors found Anthony Arevalos, 41, guilty of multiple counts of asking for a bribe, and assault and battery by a police officer.

Reading the entire article and the defenses position was quite disturbing. He has been fired and was fired before the trial had reached it’s conclusion. The whole situation is quite disturbing given the free reign officers are given and the lack of accountability in many instances. This situation could have easily been one of those though thankfully it wasn’t.

State Sponsored Criminal Count HM: Anthony Arevalos

Because when you’re a cop you can solicit whoever you want as a bribe after pulling them over.
