PINAC News Top 3

Once again, a viral video has led to criminal charges for a Baltimore cop, and this officer was fired from another agency for police brutality already in 2002.
This time, it’s serious.
Baltimore City School Officer Anthony Spence, was in the viral-video you can see below which PINAC News reported last week, hitting a student, along with Officer Saverna Bias, the other officer in the video whose identity has been verified.

A new video recorded from inside the car driven by Robert “LaVoy” Finicum was released today, capturing the harrowing moments before, during and after he was shot to death in Oregon last January.
The United States Department of Justice also announced it is investigating a group of “elite” FBI agents for partaking in a coverup of the shooting, according to the Oregonian.
It turns out, one FBI agent shot his gun twice, but claimed he never fired his gun.

The Baltimore cop who was found not guilty last year for slitting a dog’s throat after it had bitten a woman will receive $45,000 in back pay for the ten months he spent on unpaid suspension.
Jeffrey Bolger, 50, who is now retired, slit Nala’s throat in June 2014 after the Shar-Pei had escaped from a backyard and bit a woman on the hand.
The woman, who was left with a superficial wound, called police to have the dog captured.

A West Virginia woman who stood between her dog and a cop who was about to shoot it was acquitted by a jury of obstruction charges on February, 29th, 2016.
West Virginia state trooper Seth Cook testified that he was not afraid of the dog, but was following training that required him to kill all dogs that approach him, even if it was chained and wagging its tail as Buddy was doing in this case.

On February 6, 2016, Charles “Chris” Harrell was walking down the street drinking coffee while Cincinnati police officer Baron Osterman followed him on a bicycle. Harrell began recording Osterman with his cell phone, alleging that Osterman was racially profiling him.
Osterman’s actions in the video appear to validate Harrell’s allegation when Harrell, likely distracted by recording Osterman, crosses against a “Don’t Walk” signal on a street that is clearly free of all vehicular traffic, leading to Osterman stopping him for the minor pedestrian traffic violation.

The 16-year-old South Carolina student who stole his teacher’s phone, sending her nude photo to other students was arrested Friday.

The Arizona cop who shot and killed Daniel Shaver in January after responding to a call over a pellet gun was charged with murder Friday.
And only because the incident was captured on body cam.
Mesa police officer Phillip Mitchell Brailsford – the son of an internal affairs officer – said he feared for his life when Shaver reached for his waist, prompting him to shoot five times.

An Oklahoma sheriff’s deputy shot a family dog on the front porch of a house while investigating a disturbance call at another home, leaving the dog there bleeding as he went on with his day.

“We were investigating a crime and your dog attacked our deputy. The dog was shot and we need you to call us.”

The San Antonio police officer who shot and killed a man for holding a cell phone last month, claiming he was in fear for his life, will be fired, the police chief announced this week.

A Chicago cop fired his gun into a purple Chrysler PT Cruiser, killing the car, and resulting in his felony arrest.
After hearing gunshots, Ediberto Diaz was observed by two cops at the Village of Melrose Park – a suburb in Cook County – walking quickly to his red pickup truck and attempting to drive away when the officers made an investigatory stop.
The report – seen below – said Diaz, “smelled of a strong odor of alcoholic beverage.”
Miraculously, driving away from the scene of a crime while drunk did not cause the Melrose Park officers to charge Diaz with a DUI.
