If only this happened every time a law enforcement officer was caught doing something questionable, we would live in a very different time, but sadly that is not the case.
What started off as a Facebook live stream with an Uncle and his Nephew, hanging out listening to some jams and acting the fool, resulted in a paid suspension and eventually the officer resigning. A 20-year career ended by a video.
Texas cops let a man who stabbed a victim 15 times last month walk out of the hospital scot-free because he was “knocked out” and “pretty much in a coma” during the three days it took him to recover and flee on his own two feet.
Now the suspect is on the loose, presumably armed, definitely dangerous.
Beeville Police claim Gilbert Martinez got away because they were never notified he left the hospital, saying they “had no idea” if the department left any contact information behind so the hospital could notify them in the event the suspect was released.
“Fuck the police!” said Joshua Pineda, cop-watcher and Peaceful Streets activist as he left jail, “Especially fucking Mears.”
Austin cop Corporal Mears executed a false arrest of Pineda for “recording too closely” this weekend and charged him with failure to obey a police officer and interfering with public duties.
After Pineda was charged and booked, a magistrate immediately threw out the charges for interfering with public duties.
Pineda still faces a charge of failure to obey a police officer when he refused to get back to a distance that satisfied Corporal Mears.
