With that arrogant bravado only a cop can muster, Austin police officer Jamess Maufrais pointed two flashlights into the lenses of two cameras held by PINAC reporter Phillip Turner last November, bragging about how he was “not intimidated” by citizens with cameras, thumbing his nose at his own departmental policy that forbids officers from harassing citizens with cameras.

“I was originally told that he hit a tree at 80 mph,” Greg Dyksma told the ledger-enquirer regarding his son who was killed at the hands of Harris County sheriff deputies.

Russ Robinson was hired by the Tishomingo Police Department in 2015 despite having been accused of molesting a teen while working at a grocery store years earlier.

WATCH: Missouri Deputy Cites Former Cop with “Eluding” for Driving Half-Block to Safe Spot to Pull Over

A Missouri sheriff’s deputy was upset that the woman he pulled over did not come to a complete stop within a millisecond of him turning on his lights.
Instead, the woman – a retired cop – drove less than a block and made a right onto a side street where she then pulled over. She even stuck her hand out of window to motion she was going to pull over.
And once she pulled over, she informed him she had a gun in her purse to keep him from fearing for his life. She also informed him that she had drove a half-block for his safety.

Michigan Cops Refuse to Release Dash Cam Video Proving 83-Year-Old Man Assaulted Them

Michigan police say an 83-year-old man assaulted them on St. Patrick’s Day, making them fear for their safety, which is why had no choice but to slam him to the ground, breaking his nose and his arm.
But they have refused to release the dash cam video that would prove their allegations against Larry Sevenski.
And usually that means they are full of it.
However, Sevenski is now facing two years in prison for the felony charge of assaulting a police officer in addition to charges of obstruction and resisting arrest.

Florida Cop will not be Charged for Forcing Woman to Perform Oral Sex on him

A Florida cop accused of grabbing a woman’s head and forcing her to perform oral sex on him inside his patrol car will not face charges, even though prosecutors have “sufficient evidence” the sex act took place.

Now the Orlando Police Department will conduct an investigation to determine whether Detective Angel Burgos violated departmental policy by inviting a woman into his unmarked patrol car and having her pleasure him orally.

Chicago Cop who Killed Laquan McDonald Slapped with 16 Additional Charges – One for Each Bullet he Shot

Jason Van Dyke became the first Chicago police officer in history to be charged with murder for an on-duty shooting that left a 17-year-old boy dead.
And only because a judge ordered the release of the dash cam video that Chicago police had refused to release for more than a year.
Earlier today, prosecutors slapped Van Dyke with an additional 16 charges of aggravated battery with a firearm – one for each bullet he fired at Laquan McDonald  – whom police claimed had “lunged” at the cop with a knife.
