Michigan “Officer of the Year” Negligently Fires Gun in Classroom, Striking Teacher in Neck

A Michigan school resources officer and former “Officer of the Year” negligently fired a shot while toying with his gun inside a classroom Friday, shooting a teacher in the neck while she was teaching class in the next room.
Police say the teacher was not injured because the bullet did not penetrate her skin, but they are not even releasing her name or any other information.

Michigan Cop Forces Fingers into Man’s Anus After Discovering Suspended License

A Michigan cop forced his fingers into a man’s anus, then fondled the man’s genitals after arresting him for driving with a suspended license earlier this year.
Something he can only do with a valid search warrant and a valid medical license, according to the man’s attorney.
