“SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — The San Francisco police officer known as the ‘Hot Cop of the Castro’ was arrested after an early morning hit-and-run accident Sunday.

Police say the crash happened after 2 a.m. in the city’s North Beach neighborhood.

Witnesses say the officer, identified as Christopher Kohrs, left his car and ran off after hitting two men crossing a street.  Kohrs was arrested shortly after.  He faces two charges of felony hit-and-run.

The two men were hospitalized with serious injuries, but are expected to survive.

Kohrs gained attention for his good looks and muscular body. Last year, Kohrs became an internet heartthrob thanks to the fans who created a Facebook page in his honor. More than 50,000 Facebook users have “liked” the page.

The page includes photos his admirers have taken with him when he’s out patrolling.”

Whoever would have guessed?

In addition to being a hero because he puts a badge on he is also “Hot”

Seriously, what is wrong with our society if this is the caliber of our public servants?

 

 

Philadelphia , Policing at it’s finest:

“Eighty-eight more narcotics convictions were thrown out by a Philadelphia judge Friday after an investigation determined they were tainted by allegations of police corruption.

Common Pleas Court President Judge Sheila Woods-Skipper’s rulings were part of the continuing fallout from the federal prosecution of seven city police narcotics officers.

The officers – Thomas Liciardello, Brian Reynolds, Michael Spicer, Perry Betts, Linwood Norman, and John Speiser – were acquitted of all charges at a federal trial in May.

A seventh narcotics officer charged, Jeffrey Walker, pleaded guilty to separate federal corruption charges and testified against his six former colleagues at trial. Walker was sentenced in July to 31/2 years in prison by a federal judge who credited his cooperation with prosecutors.

The six officers Walker testified against got their jobs back – Spicer was recently promoted to sergeant – after they were acquitted. Betts was fired in August when he tested positive for marijuana.

Despite the federal trial’s outcome, the Defender Association of Philadelphia and the District Attorney’s Office have been reexamining the integrity of hundreds of arrests in which the seven officers were involved.

Assistant Public Defender Bradley S. Bridge estimated that Friday’s dismissals brought to 481 the number of reversed convictions involving the officers who were acquitted since they were indicted by a federal grand jury in July 2014.”

Wow!

You have to read that a couple of times to really let it sink in

The 7 were actually acquitted after a grand jury found enough evidence to indict on that many charges

Now the judge is throwing more cases out even though they were acquitted

I wonder what the judge knows that we don’t?

I wonder if the judge was surprised that one of the acquitted tested positive for drugs?

Somehow I have a feeling that he was not

Good thing I don’t live in that Shi-Hole of a city

I couldn’t look at one of them for a second

“A police officer who accused a fellow officer of inappropriate behavior – including lying to a judge and targeting minorities – is fighting for his job after what his attorney says has been a series of retaliatory action by the department over the past four years.

Officer Kyle Pirog, a 16-year veteran, was initially demoted after going to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office with his concerns when his superiors failed to act. He has been suspended indefinitely without pay, pending his termination following an Internal Affairs investigation that his attorney says was initiated as further retaliation.

Pirog has filed a civil suit in Morris County alleging the township police department violated the Conscientious Employee Protection Act in its retaliatory actions against him. He’s seeking unspecified damages.

“Police and police departments are entrusted to protect the well-being and safety of the public and most of them do it admirably,” said Claudia A. Reis, Pirog’s Morristown-based attorney.

“But every once in a while you have someone who steps out of that role and targets people. When that happens, you need people to step forward and out of the blue code of silence to report those instances. To then target those very people for retaliation undermines what police and police departments are entrusted to do.”

The suit was filed in Morris County because the judge his former co-worker allegedly lied to serves in Somerset County Superior Court.”

These are real heroes here

Every day they risk it all

Thank God that they come home safe at night……

Yes, I am biased

But you know what?

I couldn’t even make this stuff up

Every single day I pass up 20 stories to publish just one

14 deputies arrested in less than a year?

And the people, the citizens of that county still let that PD exist?

They are public servants after all

Chartered by the citizens they serve

They might think that they are better than everyone else and above the law

But they aren’t

Something is going to have to be done

The police state is getting worse, not better

And as it does they are bringing on more and more of people of the caliber of those above

“FORT PIERCE (AP) — Authorities say they have arrested a deputy for her alleged role in a marijuana selling business following a month-long investigation.

St. Lucie County Sheriff’s said an anonymous tipster told them Deputy Heather Tucker, 27, was involved in drug activity. Authorities searched the apartment she was staying at with her boyfriend and another couple Friday and said they found felony amounts of marijuana, packaging materials and other items typically associated with the sale and distribution of marijuana”

…………W’Sup, dude?

Any idea how fast you were going?

30 MPH?

No way dude, it looked way faster to me

It looked like 100 at least

You mind if I search your car?

Make sure that there are no guns, knives, drugs or bodies?

Cool

Hey are those brownies?

Mind if I take one?…………..

But seriously, this is just another example of a Florida scumbag in blue

The law applies to you

And you will be prosecuted and convicted

But not to them

They believe that they are above the law

Warrior heroes with badges……..

 

 

 

Another Florida scumbag cop caught lying

“ST. PETERSBURG — A police officer has resigned after two fellow officers reported he used excessive force during an August arrest and lied about it in a report on the encounter.

Top St. Petersburg police officials met Monday to discuss what occurred and determine what punishment might be appropriate. During that meeting Officer Andrew Cane resigned.

Cane on Aug. 20 placed a man in handcuffs near 211 Third St. N. after he was spotted urinating in public and exposing his genitals. Two other officers arrived as Cane held the suspect against a wall, and they reported seeing Cane slam the man to the ground.

Cane wrote in his incident report that the suspect, 43-year-old James Robert Blair of Pinellas Park, tried twisting the officer’s grip after he was placed in handcuffs, became aggressive and appeared to want to fight. After Cane told Blair to stop resisting, the report says, the suspect kept twisting about and was poised to attack.

Cane wrote that because of Blair’s aggressive behavior, taking him to the ground was the safest option.

But the two other officers who arrived on scene disagreed, and reported Cane’s actions to their supervisors. At a news conference Tuesday, Chief Anthony Holloway said even after “shocking” surveillance video of the encounter emerged, Cane stuck to his story.

“I didn’t see anything that he wrote in his report that I saw in this video,” Holloway said.

Cane’s use of force, by itself, was not cause for dismissal, St. Petersburg police officials said. But investigators determined Cane also falsified his report on the arrest.”

Shootings by L.A. cops have doubled this year

By Associated Press

Published: 21:05 EST, 10 November 2015 | Updated: 02:04 EST, 11 November 2015

The LAPD (above searching the grounds of Santa Monica College after a shooting) have been involved in double the shootings of last year, says a civilian oversight board

“Shootings involving Los Angeles Police Department officers have doubled this year, a statistic that the new head of the agency’s civilian oversight board said Tuesday was alarming.

So far this year, there have been 45 officer-involved shootings in Los Angeles, compared to 23 through the same time period last year, said Matthew Johnson, president of the Los Angeles Police Commission.

Nineteen of this year’s shootings have been fatal, compared to 18 last year and 14 the year before. In 2012, there were 17 fatal officer-involved shootings, and 26 in 2011.”

“Johnson’s comments come as a report by KPCC found that officers in departments throughout sprawling Los Angeles County, including the LAPD, shot at least 375 people, 187 fatally, between 2010 and 2014.

Of the 148 people shot after they dropped their hands out of sight or ‘reached for’ their waistbands, 47 turned out to be unarmed, according to the report, based on district attorney records, other public documents and interviews.

In all, 97 unarmed people were shot. Black people were shot at triple the rate of whites and Latinos.

Of 279 people shot because police said they had ignored their commands, 120 showed signs of mental illness or impairment from drugs or alcohol, the report said.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell told KPCC that while troubling, his agency’s shootings involving unarmed people were unavoidable.”

Unavoidable

What a joke

Was it unavoidable when they gunned down a 12 Yr. old with a toy gun?

Was it unavoidable when they shot up a 72 Yr. old Asian woman and her daughter while searching for Chris Dorner simply because they were in a pick up?

They are a bunch of despicable cowards

Every time they fear for their life they shoot someone

Whether that person is armed or not

Problem here is that cowards ALWAYS fear for their lives

War on cops?

Doesn’t sound like it

This sounds more like a war on the people

Drug dealers, child molesters and more: New York heroes in blue hard at work in Watervliet P.D.

“WATERVLIET, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The police chief has confirmed the home of a Watervliet officer was recently searched by the Albany County District Attorney’s Office.

The investigation comes after the arrest of two other Watervliet officers. The first was busted in a drug raid. The other admitted to sexual relationships with high school students while he worked as a school resource officer.

The latest investigation involves a sergeant with more than two decades on the job. He has not been arrested or charged with anything, but after two notable arrests, it’s another blow to the image of the department.”

“The DA’s office would not say what they were searching for or what the case is about, but sources close to the case said the investigation has to do with the recent case of former police officer Joshua Spratt. Spratt recently accepted a deal with prosecutors after admitting to having sex with teenage students while he worked as a Watervliet High School resource officer.

In addition, now-former Watervliet Officer Nicholas Pontore is facing charges for his alleged involvement in a gang-run drug ring.”

Just remember folks, one important thing

It’s only a few bad apples

Although here in N.Y they seem to be falling from the trees by the bushel

And in Florida, Texas, California and states all across the country

So many in fact that it seems hard to believe the old “Few bad apples” line

If it is only just a few

I should be running out of stories shortly

Right?

Right?

*Crickets*

I know, not very likely

2 Florida heroes in blue arrested after massive tax fraud scheme

~ deborahleejarrett ~ Leave a comment

“TAMPA — More than a year after a federal investigation began into the activities of a former Tampa police detective and his wife, a former police sergeant, the couple have been indicted on federal charges including identity theft, money laundering and theft of government property.

Eric and LaJoyce Houston turned themselves in to U.S. Marshals on Wednesday morning. They appeared in federal court later in the day to face the charges in a 24-page indictment, which details what authorities say is a conspiracy that included using police databases in tax refund fraud as far back as 2010. Federal authorities said more than 4,000 people whose information Eric Houston ran through a police database later had fake tax refunds filed in their name. The pair’s illegal proceeds totaled nearly a quarter of a million dollars, investigators said.”

Who ever would have guessed?

A few more ” Bad apples”

Funny it seems that the bad apples are spoiling the bushel

You can’t go online these days without finding dozens of mis-deeds done by these rarefied “Few bad apples”

Every day that I post articles here I pass on 20 and only post 1

That is every day

Taking account the fact that there are only 800,00 L.E. personnel

It seems there might be a problem

Go to the google news section

Google “Police rape”

Google “Deputy child porn”

Google “Deputy beating”

Go ahead and try it, it’s a fun game and lots of results pop up

Then substitute the word baker

Wow! Nothing comes up

Seems that Bakers get arrested a lot less then cops do for the above

It is time to strip away the default “Hero” status that cops have

A uniform does not give you character

Any more than a badge gives you courage

It is time for we the people

The citizens that they are sworn to protect and serve

To say enough is enough
