Barely one week after his arrest, a Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy pled guilty to domestic violence charges for lighting his girlfriend’s hair on fire using the kitchen stove in a fight over a baby pacifier.
LASD Deputy Alejandro Flores faced 25 years in state prison for the charges.
Flores got a 6 month jail sentence.
A Louisiana police chief who received probation for forcing a drunk woman to perform oral sex on him in his office while he was on duty also violated her civil rights, a federal judge ruled Monday.
However, the judge did not specify whether or not former Sorrento Police Chief Earl Theriot would face any actual penalties.
A federal judge ordered the release of the dash cam video that sent a Missouri police officer to prison for four years.
The video shows Independence police officer Timothy Runnels walking up to the passenger side of a car driven by seventeen-year-old Bryce Masters, ordering him to roll the window all the way down.
It started off as a routine traffic stop on a high school student in a residential neighborhood in Missouri with the cop getting angry that the teen was asking questions, so he tasered him for 20 seconds, sending the 17-year-old into cardiac arrest.
Independence police officer Timothy Runnels then yanked the boy out of the car, handcuffing him before picking him up and slamming him face first into a sidewalk, leaving the boy in a coma.
Runnels later claimed he had smelled marijuana in the car.
Trying to capitalize on the fabricated War on Cops, a Colorado cop fabricated a shooting on himself last year, prompting a statewide manhunt that ended up costing $38,000 in taxpayer money.
Commerce City police officer Kevin Lord even pointed out a suspect in a photo lineup, telling investigators that he was 90 percent sure it was the man in the photo, encouraging officers to arrest him.
A $20,000 reward was offered for the capture of the suspect while Commerce City police issued the following statement after the November 5, 2015 incident:
A Houston cop was convicted by a jury last week and sentenced to the maximum of 20 years in prison for shooting a woman in the head during a road-rage incident while he was on paid leave for several other road-raging incidents.
He was also one of thousands of cops deemed mentally stable by a psychologist who this month pleaded guilty to not conducting face-to-face evaluations with police recruits.
In other words, there are probably many more like him patrolling the streets of Houston.
A New York DA just recommended zero jail time for convicted NYPD cop Peter Liang, who fatally shot a man, and texted his union rep as the victim died rather than render assistance.
Liang shot and killed Akai Gurley in the stairwell of a housing project while on “vertical patrol” in 2014 and was later convicted of manslaughter and official misconduct.
Liang faced 15 years in prison.
