Boston, MA - A Boston Police officer sustained a head injury after a mishap at a playground on Congress St downtown. Boston EMS treated the officer.

 

I've watched the video at least a dozen times and laughed my ass off each time. I love it.

At least nobody died here. Folks really need to be careful when dialing 911. This woman called for help and one of the cops on the scene really didn't like dogs.

 

 

Aims at a Pomeranian just a few feet in front of him and hits a woman on the porch several yards behind the dog.

City’s entire five-officer force seize computers, cellphones and reporting materials from offices of local paper

 

Quite the Streisand effect with this story. Local newspaper gets info that a local business owner has been driving without a license after a DUI, decides not to publish it, as they thought the anonymous source had brought it to them to influence divorce proceedings. The business owner brings this up at a public city council meeting, accusing the paper of illegally obtaining information, so the paper publishes a rebuttal to that public accusation. At the same time the paper had been investigating if the new police chief had left their previous job because of sexual misconduct allegations.

 

So the business owner went to the cops and got them to raid the paper over these dubious claims about illegally obtaining private information, a raid that seems to violate federal law protecting journalists.

 

Just a guess, but I have the feeling that neither the new police chief nor this business owner are going to like the new national profile this story has taken on since the raid.

The county attorney in Marion County, Kansas, says that police should return seized material to a weekly newspaper raided by officers that has drawn national scrutiny of press freedom.

 

Quote

 

The prosecutor in Marion County, Kansas, said Wednesday that police should return all seized material to a weekly newspaper that was raided by officers in a case that has drawn national scrutiny of press freedom.

 

Marion County Attorney Joel Ensey said his review of police seizures from the Marion County Record found “insufficient evidence exists to establish a legally sufficient nexus between this alleged crime and the places searched and the items seized.”

 

“As a result, I have submitted a proposed order asking the court to release the evidence seized. I have asked local law enforcement to return the material seized to the owners of the property,” Ensey said in a news release.

 

Even without the computers, cellphones and other office equipment taken in a police raid, the new edition of the Record made it to newsstands Wednesday after a frenzied scramble by the newspaper’s small staff.

Translation: "OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS WITH MY ASS INTACT?!?!?"

 

This reeks of small town police/political/elite corruption and even with the system set up to protect people like this I suspect quite a few people are going down for this. Clearly this is a power structure that is used to playing by their own rules and probably would have went unnoticed if not for the old woman dying. Once it got some national press these people were fucked because what they did is so blatantly illegal.

 

Usually cops and DA's know that the best way to weather these things is to double down(which is why cops charge totally innocent people with resisting arrest when they mistook a suspect....it gums up the inevitable incoming civil suit) so this DA is either an idiot....or he realizes just how bad they are fucked and thinks "I was negligent in reviewing the evidence beforehand" is actually his best option......

An armed off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy has died after being shot by police at a golf course in Fontana, authorities confirmed Wednesday.

 

Quote

 

Police initially responded Tuesday afternoon to a report of shots fired at a home in the 16000 block of Colonial Drive.

 

After a man opened fire inside the home, he walked away from the scene with two handguns and officers later found him near the Sierra Lakes Golf Course, according to the Fontana Police Department. No one was reported injured in that shooting.

 

 

(sigh)

We can add "Conducting A High School Band" to the list of things you shouldn't do while being black:

 

WWW.NPR.ORG

Johnny Mims and his school band were wrapping up their last song when Birmingham police insisted the performance stop immediately. The confrontation ended with Mims tased in front of his students.

 

Quote

 

What began as a routine band performance of Talkin' Out the Side of Your Neck by Cameo at an Alabama high school football game ended in a troubling confrontation when a police officer tased the marching band director for refusing to stop the music.

 

The altercation occurred Thursday around 9 p.m. local time after a game at Jackson-Olin High School in Birmingham, Ala.

 

Minor High School band director Johnny Mims, 39, and his ensemble of 145 students were about a minute away from being done with their final song when a police officer approached the podium. According to both Mims and the Birmingham Police Department, officers asked Mims to stop the performance so they could clear out the stadium. Mims responded that the song was about to end and the performance was agreed on by both schools.

 

"Nothing we were doing at the time was being a danger to the community, fans or the school," Mims told NPR on Monday. "Everyone was enjoying themselves. That's the part I'm having a hard time grappling with."

 

As the students finished their performance, officers attempted to arrest Mims for not complying. Police said the band director "refused" to place his hands behind his back and allegedly pushed an arresting officer.

 

But Mims said he was simply caught off guard, adding that it was difficult to see who was grabbing him because the stadium's lights went out. Moments later, an officer pulled out a stun gun and tased Mims. Birmingham police said it happened once, but Mims insists he was tased up to three times.

 

The entire confrontation was witnessed by dozens of students, parents and faculty members. On Tuesday, the Birmingham Police Department released body-worn camera footage of the incident.

State appeals court upholds the firing of two LAPD officers who admitted they were playing Pokémon instead of responding to a Compton robbery in 2017.

 

 

Whenever this thread gets bumped my masochistic self always thinks, "What the hell, my blood pressure could stand to go way up today!" as I click on it expecting the worst.

 

It goes to show the low bar that all I can really manage reading this is, "At least they didn't kill anyone.....".

Bettersten Wade’s search for her adult son ended when she discovered that an officer had run him over — and without telling her, authorities buried him in a pauper’s field.

 

 

Quote

The last time she’d seen her middle child, Dexter Wade, 37, was on the night of March 5, as he left home with a friend. She reported him missing, and Jackson police told her they’d been unable to find him, she said.

 

It wasn’t until 172 excruciating days after his disappearance that Bettersten learned the truth: Dexter had been killed less than an hour after he’d left home, struck by a Jackson police car as he crossed a nearby interstate highway. Police had known Dexter’s name, and hers, but failed to contact her, instead letting his body go unclaimed for months in the county morgue.

 

Now it was early October, and Bettersten had finally been told where she could find her son.

Jurors said Thursday they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict in the case of an ex-police officer who shot and killed a man inside a Costco.

 

Quote

Sanchez fatally shot Kenneth French, 32, at Costco in Corona on June 14, 2019, after the two had a brief confrontation. While what triggered the confrontation is unclear, neither legal team disputes that French struck Sanchez in a food sample line. Within seconds, Sanchez, who was holding his infant child, pulled a firearm from his waistband and shot French four times and each of his parents once.

 

Quote

Schwartz told the jury his client believed he had been shot when he was struck from behind. He had not been shot and was the only one armed at the time.

 

"While holding his son in his arms, in parental bliss, feeding him, he was brutally and inexplicably attacked from behind,” Schwartz said. “He acted to defend himself and his son."
