Police Coverups, Conspiracies, and Cost to Taxpayers

What a cluster, but at least some justice served. Lawsuit pending.

A dozen cops on scene and still all this BS. Unlawful traffic stop.

Victim who was passively resisting gets yanked out of the car by his throat and punched in the face twice.

Delayed a traffic stop for a k9. K9 finds nothing.

Cops search car, anyways.

Victim charged with intent to distribute and not obeying a lawful command. Those charges were dropped.

When the victim was rightfully ranting about being punched in the face, a another cop responds, "At least you're alive." The good news is that the cop who punched the victim was fired and arrested.

 

Freaking yikes. That's another one that if there was a "Pick out the cop" in a lineup, he would be the first chosen.

From what I read, they were only in a relationship for four months. What a psycho.

-Felony strangulation
-Unlawful restraint
-False imprisonment
-Simple assault
-Reckless endangerment
-Official oppression

 

I'm not going to lie, when I saw the first picture in your post, I thought it was screenshot from a bad, x-rated movie.

 

What the police said happened.. A male stepped out of the car with a knife. The officers gave multiple commands to drop it. The man then lunged at the officers. One of the officers fired his multiple times striking the man.

What actually happened.



All charges dropped against the officer with the judge citing "lack of evidence."

The charges were first-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime, reckless endangerment of another person and official oppression.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A judge dismissed murder and other charges Tuesday against a Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed a driver through a rolled-up window — a confrontation police initially described as the officer shooting the driver after he lunged at him with a knife outside the car.

Police previously backtracked from their initial statements that Dial shot Irizarry outside the vehicle after he “lunged at” police with a knife. Dial, a five-year member of the force, was suspended after officials said he refused to cooperate with investigators. Police said Dial was fired on Sept. 18.

“You’re sitting here telling me that he was trying to lunge at you. He was not. He was locked in the car. So there was no way that he could get to you guys, and yet you still felt threatened and shot at him,” said Brown, ascribing the judge’s ruling to “favoritism” toward police.

Morris testified Tuesday that he saw the driver holding a knife with a black metal handle that could have looked like a gun. He said Irizarry started to raise it as Dial approached the car, which had stopped while going the wrong way on the one-way street. “I screamed that he had a knife,” Morris testified.

Charges refiled on Tuesday.

Also in Warren, Michigan

 

Also Warren Michigan.

This kid was was punched almost a dozen times, given a concussion and blurred vision, and had braces knocked off of his teeth. Seems like when they aren't saving electrocuted kids, they're busy beating the shit out of them.



Lawsuit: Detroit teen punched, kicked, stomped by Warren police

King said one officer, without a word, punched Wade nine times in the face and then again after another officer tried to intervene. He said that another officer also punched Wade several times and that his client also was kicked twice and stomped at least three times.

King said emergency medical technicians asked what happened to Wade for the purposes of treatment, and one of the officers “was not being completely candid” about how the teen's injuries occurred.

Wade suffers from severe and persistent headaches, the threat of a permanent loss of vision and facial cuts, according to the lawsuit.

King said Wade was hit so hard that one of his braces came out of his mouth. He says the teen, now 17, has blurred vision in one eye and may lose sight in that eye and need surgery, and has permanent scarring on his face, among other injuries.

 

Also Warren, Michigan. (May, 2023)

I guess when they aren't beating the shit out of black teenagers, they are harrasing the first black cop ever hired at the department. Even cops aren't safe from cops...


Former Warren police officer to get $500K+ in federal lawsuit

A former Warren police officer was awarded more than $500,000 by a federal jury in a civil rights lawsuit in which she alleged racial and sexual mistreatment from coworkers during her time on the force.

He said they have proven there was custom, policy and practice to discriminate against African Americans, and "we have been successful at sending a message. ... I think it's a moment whose time has come."

In her complaint, she said she was the first Black police officer to be employed in the history of Warren and was "constantly peppered with inappropriate, insulting, demeaning, racially stereotypical, offensive comments, jokes, statements, conversations, and other conduct by her similarly-situated white police officers including, but not limited to, supervisors."

Howlett alleged she was repeatedly not supported with proper backup in a timely fashion during work because of her race and gender. She said she became ill and was unable to continue working "in the toxic environment."

BTW, there's a thread for good guy posts

Police are still the Good Guys

 

For those keeping score at home, if he does lose vision in that eye, that would most likely be the 2nd occurrence of the police blinding someone in at least one eye in this thread.

 

Delaware State Police - Trooper fractures eye socket of a minor when he punched the handcuffed teen in the back of a cop car over a game of ding dong ditch. The broken eye socket took an 8 hour surgery to repair.

Delaware troopers pulled an innocent group of teens out of their homes at gunpoint because of a game of ding dong ditch performed by different teens. They later found the suspected teens and one of them assaulted a 15 year old, put him in the back of a car, thought he turned his bodycam off, then punched the teen in the face fracturing his eye socket.



Delaware trooper charged with assaulting 2 teens after ‘ding, dong, ditch’ prank

A Delaware state police corporal whose home was pranked in August by a group of teenagers playing “ding, dong, ditch’’ has been indicted for fracturing one’s eye socket, and assaulting another youth who had no involvement in the prank.

Cpl. Dempsey Richard Walters, a seven-year veteran of the state’s largest police force, was charged using evidence captured on his body-worn camera, authorities said in announcing the handful of misdemeanor and felony charges.

Mat Marshall, spokesman for Attorney General Kathy Jennings, said Walters turned off the camera before almost immediately punching the 15-year-old boy in the eye, but that the cameras police use in Delaware continue recording for several seconds after they are shut off.

Jennings said the indictment marks the first time the civil rights charge has been used since it became a law earlier this year. That crime has a mandatory two-year prison term.
