Careless Cops

PINAC reporter Phillip Turner was already driving five miles above the speed limit when a Texas state trooper flew past him on the inside lane Tuesday evening.
As he has done in the past, Turner followed the cop to ask for his name and badge number.
But that did not go so well as the trooper refused to identify himself, even though most police departments have a policy that require officers to identify themselves to the public when asked.
Instead, the cop began demanding Turner’s name while trying to convince him that it was another trooper he had seen speeding.

How many shots does it take for a cop to pass out in their patrol vehicle while in uniform and on-duty as a police dog helplessly sits in the backseat?
It took 15 shots of vodka for a Wisconsin deputy to do just that.
St. Croix County Sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Fowler ended up having a .23 blood alcohol content – nearly three times the legal limit.
In fact, Fowler still had the squad car in drive with his foot on the brake when responding officers found him passed out from his drunken stupor.

Two California men who spent seven months in jail for conspiracy to commit murder based on rap lyrics and Facebook photos that made no reference to actual murders filed a lawsuit against the San Diego Police Department Tuesday.
Police based their arrests on allegations that Brandon Duncan and Aaron Harvey were Facebook friends with suspected gang members they grew up with, using an obscure law that does not ever appear to have been used in California before the 2014 arrests.
But there was no evidence that either committed any murders or were actual gang members.

For the second time in less than a month, a toddler son of an American police officer picked up a gun and fired a shot.
Last month, it was the two-year-old son of a Cleveland police officer who picked up the gun and tragically killed himself.
Last week, it was the son of a North Carolina police officer who picked up and the gun and fired a shot, striking his mother, but fortunately, not killing her.
