Are you safe when pulled over by a man with a gun and handcuffs? Short answer ? No

These are reports compiled by the CATO institute police misconduct site for 2 weeks in Nov. of 2016.That’s right, that is only 2 weeks. Whether child molestation, rape, beating, lying or stealing, these heroes in blue keep themselves busy.     Are you safe when you are pulled over on a dark highway by a man with a gun?  You decide. Read the stories linked below and think about whether anyone should be given default “Good guy” status.  If you think wearing a badge makes you a hero , think again.  Any time you are in the presence of an armed person your life is potentially in danger.  Now think about the type of person who aspires to a career where their day is spent controlling others around them with the threat of force.  Makes you feel real good when you see cherries light up behind you doesn’t it?

Former NYPD cop blames arrest quota pressure for drunken shooting frenzy that nearly killed a man

~ deborahleejarrett ~ Leave a comment

A former NYPD officer convicted of shooting at two men — nearly killing one of them during a drunken bender in 2014 — said the pressure of arrest quotas drove him to drink, according to court documents obtained by the Daily News.

Brendan Cronin told a court-ordered psychologist that beginning around 2009 he sought solace in the bottle amid pressure from supervisors in the Bronx.

“Sleep difficulties commenced about one year after he started working at the 46th Precinct, when he was transferred from foot patrol to a car,” the psychologist, Stuart Kirschner, wrote. “At that time, a great deal of pressure was placed on the officers to make at least five arrests and issue 10 summons. If that quota was not met, then the officer was in a ‘vulnerable’ position.”

 

 

The psychologist’s report revealing the alleged quota pressure was filed in connection with a $90 million suit against the city and the NYPD. It wasn’t clear over what time period the five arrests and 10 summonses were supposed to be completed. The NYPD has long denied the existence of quotas within the department.

Cronin was sentenced in April to nine years in prison for firing 14 times at a passing car in Pelham driven by Robert Borrelli, who was unharmed. The passenger, Joseph Felice, was shot six times and nearly died.”

A drunken psychopath roaming the streets in uniform

Who ever would have guessed?

At least this scumbag was held accountable

Point being here: You never know who is behind that badge and gun

 

One weekend: 4 cops shot in three separate states

You have truly brought this on yourselves

In the end you reap what you sow and for decades now, lying, beating and killing have become the norm

You yourselves have turned the people you are sworn to serve and protect against you

Every time you lie on a report, abuse or bully, another citizen goes over to the other side

Every time you turn your head when another cop abuses someone or abuses their authority, you make an enemy

Now the tide is turning

You have made more enemies than allies

Even children are turned against you as day in and day out as they see videos of rampant police abuse on social media

We now live in an age when a crowd cheers and takes pictures when a cop gets dragged out and beaten

Default hero status in the Video age is hard to come by

It will now take you decades to undo your wrong doings

If it is even possible

It is yours to decide

Are you domestic warriors

Or public servants?

Choose wisely, because the people have had their belly full of domestic wattiors

 

Florida : FDLE officer charged with sexual abuse and sodomy of 8 Yr. olds

~ deborahleejarrett ~ Leave a comment

8219050443_10c9c32c4d_b

“SANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla. (WEAR) — A state law enforcement officer faces multiple charges after two 8-year-old boys told authorities he repeatedly sodomized and sexually abused them.

Channel 3 News has obtained a police report detailing abuse that the children say began in June of 2016. Authorities say neither child knew the other disclosed information about the abuse.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Agent Charles Calvin McMullen faces two felony counts of sexual assault/battery on a victim under 12 and two counts of lewd lascivious behavior, victim less than 12.

McMullen, who has been with the FDLE for five years, is on paid administrative leave.

He worked on cases with the Gulf Coast Kids House and the Santa Rosa Kids House, centers that advocate for abused children.

On Friday, October 28, deputies with the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office (SRCSO) responded the Santa Rosa Kids House in Milton where a Department of Children and Families (DCF) investigator was working child abuse case.

The investigator informed deputies that an 8-year-old reported McMullen had been touching him “downstairs on his private part” on a frequent basis. An investigation was immediately launched.

A DCF investigator said McMullen “began to cry” when she informed him about the allegations. The child’s revelation led investigators to interview a second child.

The second 8-year-old told an investigator he doesn’t feel safe because McMullen had been inappropriately touching him and made the child reciprocate on multiple occasions.

He said McMullen told him this was “between you and me” and not to tell anybody because it would break up his relationship.

Following this disclosure, the Gulf Coast Kids House interviewed the second child, who said McMullen touched his private parts. He said McMullen touched the other child underneath his clothing on his penis.

The child said the abuse began when both children were 7-years-old. He said McMuMullen made them perform sex acts like sticking their fingers in his buttocks, putting their mouth on his penis.”

What is it that drives some people to control others?

Look at the characteristics of child molesters and the number one motivator is control

Look at the characteristics of a wife abuser and the number one motivator  is control

Who gets up in the morning and says I want to strap on a gun and handcuffs?

Who says I want my job to be one that allows me to control people all day?

Do as I say or I will physically overcome or kill you

Wow!

Just remember the next time you see a cop

Who he might really be

Whether in court as a “Sworn officer” or on the highway

You never know who that “Hero” with a gun is

Don’t give them the benefit of the doubt and risk your life

For your own safety and that of others have a camera that you can film every encounter with

Where cameras are present he is much more likely to keep his gun in his holster

I really hope that this scumbag gets his

Either from someone on the street

Or on the inside

California Officer Killed by Shot Fired From Colleague’s Gun

  • By The Associated Press

FRESNO, Calif. — Nov 1, 2016, 8:02 PM ET

“A 20-year veteran sheriff’s deputy in Central California was killed by a bullet in the chest from a colleague’s gun in what officials said Tuesday appeared to be “a tragic accidental shooting.”

Deputy Sgt. Rod Lucas was having a conversation with a detective about how to carry their backup weapons when the shot was fired on Monday, Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said. The incident occurred at a sheriff’s office near the Fresno Yosemite International Airport.

Mims said Lucas, 46, and the detective were in a room with two other colleagues and there was no dispute, just a conversation about weapons safety.

“The detective had his weapon out. During this discussion, the detective’s weapon discharged,” the sheriff said. “Sgt. Lucas was struck by the bullet in his chest, and he dropped to the ground.”

Lucas was immediately given CPR and rushed to Community Regional Medical Center, where he died.

Mims did not disclose the type of firearm involved in the incident, calling it “an improved secondary weapon for the detective.” She said all witnesses have been interviewed except for the detective, who was not identified, due to his mental state which she described as extremely upset.

“We do not know yet the mechanics of how the weapon discharged,” Mims said. “So far, we have absolutely no reason to believe this was anything more than a tragic accidental shooting.”

Gun safety first

Instead of being a big tough guy and showing your cop balls

How about keeping your mouth shut and your gun holstered?

Just had to show off

How does that work for you now?

Dumb ass

At least he didn’t shoot an innocent citizen

2 cops ambushed in Des Moines, 1 killed

~ deborahleejarrett ~ Leave a comment

, Des Moines Register 6:35 a.m. CDT November 2, 2016

.

“Two metro-area police officers were shot and killed in apparent “ambush style” attacks early Wednesday.

Police from Urbandale and Des Moines departments responded to a report of gunfire at the intersection of 70th Street and Aurora Avenue at about 1:06 a.m.

The first officers arriving on the scene found an Urbandale officer shot. The officer, whose name has not been released, died, said Des Moines Police Sgt. Paul Parizek in a news release.

At about 1:26 a.m., a Des Moines police officer was shot and killed near the intersection of Merle Hay Road and Sheridan Drive while responding to the scene where the Urbandale officer was shot.

Both officers were gunned down in their patrol cars.

The police departments are wary of officers’ safety, as the attack appeared targeted at officers. Des Moines Police has paired up its patrol officers so no officer is on patrol alone, Parizek said.

“There’s literally a clear and present danger if you’re a police officer,” he said.”
