This is the place where crooked cops are exposed. Not all cops are bad but the ones who are should be brought to justice. We are in desperate need of police reform.
According to UPI.com, a Philadelphia judge overturned 53 drug convictions earlier this month. These convictions are connected to a former narcotics officer, Jeffrey Walker, who is currently under federal investigation. Jeffrey Walker was arrested in May of 2013 following an FBI corruption investigation. FBI agents said Walker plotted with a government informant about robbing drug dealers. One incident involved Walker stopping a suspect's vehicle, appearing to plant drugs in the vehicle and then arresting the suspect. Walker and the informant later stole $15,000 from the suspect's house. The city is paying massive settlement costs in lawsuits by former suspects, who allege police framed them in court.
The video below is from earlier this year and has not received as much attention as it should. Thanks to the man with the camera we can see everything. There was no reason why the police officer should have tazed this woman and after everyone yelled that she is pregnant he does not keep his knee off her stomach. In the second video you can see that police claim they were fighting police. That's obviously a lie. They also said that she was tazed in the leg. That's a lie, she was tazed in the back. Also watch as the police try to block the video camera and distract the camera guy with questions. What is wrong with Cops? Why are they so fixed on pain and suffering? He could have killed the unborn child and felt no remorse. Cops are supposed to protect citizens. What has happened to our country. Cops have no boundaries. All around the country 20 cops will report to one incident and it will be only 1 or 2 people being arrested (keep in mind they are usually arrested for small amounts of drugs). Cops will be quick to respond to insignificant incidents while someone is being raped, kidnapped, or murdered two blocks over.
Where are the heroes? Shame on these police officers.
I hope that she filed a law suit against this department.
According to Courthousenews.com, Texas police officers
decided to break into an elderly woman's home on false marijuana charges. The officer brought
along their cameras to collect footage for their YouTube reality show. The
woman is fighting back and has sued Montgomery County, Texas, its District
Attorney Brett Ligon, its Precinct 4 Constable Kenneth "Rowdy"
Hayden, Precinct 4 Chief Barry Welch and three other deputy constables, in
Federal Court. Cops are more worried about gaining stardom than saving a
person's life. What happened to the honor of being a real hero? We desperately
need police reform.
"Marlon Brown, 38, of Deland, Florida was killed on May 8 when a police officer ran him over in a patrol car and. Now his family has released the graphic video, hoping to receive justice" reports Huffington Post.
Autopsy reports indicate that Brown was not killed by impact but infact was pinned under the car and suffocated. Police continue to reiterate that Brown was a known felon. Despite this, the officer who killed Brown did not show a sign of hesitation. He did not press on his breaks or veer to the side to avoid killing Brown. Grand jury determined that there wasn't enough evidence to criminally prosecute James Harris, the officer driving the patrol car. He was however fired and a settlement has been awarded.
On May 31, the chief of police reviewed the video of the incident. Upon reviewing, he determined the "actions in the video did not meet our internal standards," said DeLand Police Sgt. Chris Estes, who said Harris was fired the same day.".* Ana Kasparian, Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report), and Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?! and TYT Sports) break it down on The Young Turks.
According to New York daily news, Jonathan Ferrell was shot dead by police as he was waving them down for help. Ferrell had just been in an accident and ran to a neighboring home for help. A woman, upon opening the door, became terrified assuming Ferrell was out to harm her. She slammed the door and called police. Ferrell who went back to the scene of the accident waved down the police for help. Police first tazed him, then shot him 10 times killing him. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Officer Randall Kerrick was the man that killed Ferrell. Dashcam shows Officer Kerrick pausing in between shots. As if to make sure he was dead. The Ferrells’ attorney, Chris Chestnut, says a dash cam video shows the young man posed no threat to officers. Officer Kerrick has since been charged with Voluntary Manslaughter. Who knew a black man could survive an accident only to be shot by the police who should have been helping him. Aren't police supposed to confirm if a man is armed before they can shoot him? I wonder. If a white man did the same thing would he have been killed? Rest in Peace Jonathan Ferrell and all the other black man killed because of racist assumptions and trigger happy police.

According to Floridatoday.com, the Lakeland Police Department in Florida is under a huge magnifying glass this month for having sexual encounters with a female civilian crime analyst both on and off duty. Sexual encounters took place in police cars, motels, parking lots, cemetaries, police and fire stations. Among the accused are police officers, a firefighter, and a "city worker". Seven officers have admitted to having sexual encounters with the woman and three other officers have denied the accusations and are unwilling to take a polygraph. Obvoiusly the department is embarrased and confidence in police is close to nonexistent. This department has had many issues with investigating crimes, routine traffic stops, and searches. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has assumed that the deparment "shortcomings" are connected with these sex scandals.
They are focused more on sex than doing their job.
