A former Pocahontas County sheriff’s deputy has been indicted for allegedly sexually abusing four children and one adult woman over a period of 10 years.

Yes it is just as bad as it sounds.

The indictment alleges Totten, a former sheriff’s deputy, forced four juvenile girls and one adult woman to have sex while in the line of duty. The adult was allegedly forced to have sex while incarcerated, the indictment says.

None of the victims are relatives or family members.  Even the police have bad eggs, yet they get a free pass to qualified immunity and laws that help restrain victims from fighting back.

Because the law exists to protect the thugs who decide to commit their crimes while working for the state.  Their only request is you not get caught.

A former Harrodsburg police officer who pleaded guilty to 148 counts of sex crimes involving a 14-year-old girl has been sentenced to three years in prison

Sadly, this is another predator preying upon the sheep while pretending to be a sheep dog.

He was an officer who conducted Drug Abuse Resistance Education classes in Mercer County schools. He was suspended without pay after his indictment and turned in his badge and gun.

As horrible as his actions are, they are only worth 3 years, of which he must serve 2.5.  It’s good to know how our laws our enforced evenly across the entire population.

Because the real reason police officers are stationed around our youth is to provide another access point for predators, right?

This works for #300 quite well.

Ron Frashour, the Portland Police officer who was fired from the force in November 2010 after he shot Aaron Campbell in the back with an assault rifle—killing the distraught, unarmed man outside his home in January 2010—may soon be reinstated into the police force.

According to the Oregonian, state arbitrator Jane Wilkinson ruled in favor of the Portland Police Association and that Frashour “should get his job back.”

Doesn’t that just make you all warm and fuzzy inside.  Cop shoots an unarmed man in the back who was surrendering, doesn’t get charged, gets fired for his negligence, and then the department is forced to rehire him.

Because shooting an unarmed man in the back is perfectly acceptable behavior if you’re a cop.  It is sponsored and protected by the state so he need not worry about loosing his job or going to prison for killing someone.

A federal investigation of the Harvey Police Department found officers engaged in “heavy-handed uses of force that were largely avoidable.”

What kind of avoidable though?

“It is apparent that, at best, some of those incidents could have had a better outcome if the officer had employed different tactics. At worst, some of these incidents constitute prosecutable excessive force,” wrote Jonathan Smith, a Justice Department official.

So in other words they ran home to use of force because they could.  It ends up that at least half of the incidents investigated were all for some form of “contempt of cop”.  It appears that the city of Harvey Illinois firmly believes that their officers should behave like Eric Cartman.  The biggest lesson in this though is that usually corruption like this is systemic and spreads through all areas of the department.

More than 200 untested rape kits were discovered and the evidence led to charges against 14 people — including a sheriff’s correctional officer suspected in a 1997 assault of a child.

So as usual, they protected their own.  Still trust the our fearless overlords?  There’s a reason they’re fearless, it’s called qualified immunity.

Because being a cop means everyone must respect your authoritah, even the little kid you want to abuse.

This cop needs to seriously calm the hell down.  He attempted to steal someone’s personal property and someone tried to step back.  The officer claims they touched him, even though video shows otherwise.  The officer claims to have authority when in fact he had none.

The reason the cop wanted that camera is because he wants to have total control of the situation, including evidence that could be used against him.

Because someone videotaping you is worthy of using physical force, including tasing someone.
