Over the summer we reported on a story out of Allentown Pennsylvania, involving James Ochse, who is better known as the Allentown singing man in an ultra viral video where he slammed to the ground by a cop.
An award-winning Florida sheriff’s deputy was suspended for treating nearly a dozen inmates inhumanely while transporting them in a van last year.
However, it was just over two years ago that St. Lucie County sheriff’s deputy Johnny Hubbard received a departmental award along with several other deputies, describing them as “extremely professional and extraordinary individuals” who deserve to be “recognized for their day-to-day dedication to their duties.”
The high-ranking FBI Agent who was convicted for assaulting a teenager last year, shoving the 15-year-old down and pulling a gun on him while intervening in a custodial dispute that had nothing to do with him, was sentenced to probation Wednesday, meaning he will be allowed to keep his job.
An Arizona police officer shot and killed a man Sunday night after responding to a report of a man pointing a rifle out a fifth-floor hotel window.
Turns out, the man was only holding a pellet gun that he used for his job in pest control.
And it’s not even clear if the man Mesa police shot and killed was the man holding the pellet gun. Not that it should matter because nobody’s life was in danger.
More than a year after he and his wife were fired from an Indiana sheriff’s office for a scandal involving $250,000 that went missing, the former deputy was arrested for having used his patrol car to protect a massive drug operation while he was still employed.
And that comes just more than a year after Jason Wood and his wife, Teresa, were arrested for possession of synthetic drugs, specifically Spice, a synthetic type of marijuana that was made illegal in 2012 after it was proven to be much more dangerous than natural marijuana.
Another award-winning law enforcement officer was stripped of his badge Tuesday after accepting a plea deal to avoid going to trial for perjury.

Grand juries have the power to indict people on criminal charges, so it is no laughing matter when they fail to take a vote on the charges at hand.
That, after all, is the whole point of a grand jury.
But in a huge lapse of justice, the grand jury in the Tamir Rice case failed to vote on the charges against Cleveland police officers Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback.
Yet even without a vote, the officers walked away free without an indictment.
A Pennsylvania cop accused of embezzling thousands of dollars from the Police Athletic League is now asking for her job back, saying she was innocent of all charges.
However, the court did not find Harrisburg police officer Jennie Jenkins innocent.
She simply avoided trial by agreeing to enter into Dauphin County’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition Program for first-time offenders, which enables citizens charged with non-violent crimes to avoid criminal charges.
New Mexico state police chased a 74-year-old man driving on the wrong side of the interstate earlier this month, forcing him out his van at gunpoint and tasering him, causing him to fall to the ground clutching his chest.
