Indicted Cops

An award-winning San Francisco cop was sentenced to 14 months in prison Tuesday for conducting an illegal search on a hotel room, then falsifying a police report to make it seem as it was a legal search.
Defense attorneys argued that Arshad Razzak, who spent 19 years on the force,  was never trained in how not to violate the rights of citizens.
The 44-year-old cop was also not trained in common sense because it was as surveillance video that led to his conviction.

During a ride-along with a college journalist in 2014, Northern California police officer Noah Winchester bragged about he was looking out for the safety of the students on campus.
But that was before he was arrested for raping two women while on duty as a police officer for the Los Rios Community College in Sacramento.
And that was before he was arrested for raping an additional three women while on duty as a police officer for the San Mateo Police Department.
Police arrested the 31-year-old man Thursday on 22 counts of kidnapping, rape and related charges.

A South Carolina deputy is facing ten years in prison after he was accused of forcing a woman to perform oral sex on him, threatening to arrest her boyfriend if she did not comply.
The woman said she complied after Orangeburg County sheriff’s deputy Dereck Johnson threatened to arrest her too.
The sexual assault lasted four minutes while the woman’s 16-year-old daughter slept in a bedroom nearby. When it was over, Johnson left the woman inside the mobile home, walked up to her boyfriend with a smirk on his face and shook his hand.

It took two months but authorities arrested two police officers Tuesday who were caught on video beating a suspect after he had surrendered.
The beating took place on May 11 after a high-speed car chase that spanned two states; an adventure that ended in New Hampshire when suspect Richard Simone stopped his truck on a dead-end street, stepped out and fell to his knees in attempt to lay down on the ground.

A police officer for the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in Arizona was arrested last month after he admitted to sexually abusing a woman in his car in exchange for $100.
Jay Wu, who had been with the department for ten years, believed he was doing the woman a favor for not citing her on shoplifting charges on March 29 after she told him she was in a desperate financial situation.

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.

Palm Beach Gardens police officer Nouman Raja had no idea he was being audio recorded when he pulled up to Corey Jones at 3 a.m. on the side of the road last year and killed him.
But it was that audio recording that led to his indictment today where he is now facing life in prison.
And he deserves nothing less.
Corey Jones played in a band called the Future Presidentz.
He not only pulled up to Jones in an unmarked vehicle wearing plainclothes on October 18, 2015, he never identified himself as an officer.

Three Bakersfield police officers were caught on video brutalizing a man with their batons and tasering him because he had jaywalked before running from officers in an apparent attempt to keep from being cited Monday evening.
“Stop resisting,” the California cops kept saying as they beat him.
“He’s not resisting,” said the man recording, who sent the footage to his local news station, preferring to remain anonymous.
But police told the media the man was resisting, an action apparently only visible to the trained eyes of police officers.

In the moments before he was shot and killed, Daniel Shaver was trying his best to comply with orders from Mesa police, specifically Sergeant Charles Langley, who was berating and threatening to kill him while barking out a series of confusing orders, according to a chilling transcript from an officer’s body camera released today.

Florida police officer Michael Harding had such a promising law enforcement career in front of him when he was named Officer of the Year while working for the Fort Pierce Police Department in 2011.
One year prior to that, he was presented with the Exceptional Police Service award for issuing 76 DUI citations.
But then his career started to falter after accepting a job with the Port St. Lucie Police Department just south of Fort Pierce in 2011.
