Those cops go out to do a hard job every day.

Every time they get in their cruiser they think, will I make it home today?

We owe them a debt of gratitude for their service.

I'm going to disagree here. Doing a "hard job" doesn't excuse making lethal mistakes. It's not that I don't understand how this could have happened. In the dark the old man might not have been able to tell they were cops, and might have pointed a gun at them. The police would have to have shot him at that point, regardless of whether or not he was innocent. That doesn't excuse the discrepancy in the location where the man was shot. The police seemed like they were trying to pad the deck a bit, and make it out that the 72-year old man was acting more aggressively than he actually was. This is upheld by the fact that one of the two police in question has now been fired for making untrue statements in an arrest affidavit.

You obviously have something to hide unless you simply feel some sort of misplaced empathy for domestic terrorists.

Police forced New Mexico scrap metal tradesman David Eckert to undergo two digital anal probes, three enema insertions and ultimately a colonoscopy after officers incorrectly assumed he was concealing drugs, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court on his behalf.

No drugs were found by police or doctors at the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, N.M. The exhaustive search began when Eckert allegedly rolled through a stop sign in Deming, N.M., on Jan. 2, 2013.

"We see this as a multimillion-dollar case," Kennedy said. "This is essentially medical anal rape, numerous times over a 12-hour period. I can't imagine anything more horrifying than what happened to our client. It's just sadistic."

The apparent justification for the search, Kennedy said, was that police believed Eckert's buttocks were clenched during the traffic stop.

But, she said, it's also possible the officers just didn't like how her client looks.

"Maybe the officers who did this don't like him living in their community," said Kennedy. "He's a white boy, a scraggly white boy, and all these officers are Hispanic. It's a New Mexico thing."

Kennedy said her client, 63-years-old when he was detained, looks somewhat like rocker Tom Petty and says he denies standing with his buttocks clenched.

Albuquerque civil rights attorney Shannon Kennedy is representing Eckert and says she is seeking "in excess of $1 million in punitive damages alone" from the law enforcement and medical personnel responsible and their employers.

"We see this as a multimillion-dollar case," Kennedy said. "This is essentially medical anal rape, numerous times over a 12-hour period. I can't imagine anything more horrifying than what happened to our client. It's just sadistic."

The apparent justification for the search, Kennedy said, was that police believed Eckert's buttocks were clenched during the traffic stop.

But, she said, it's also possible the officers just didn't like how her client looks.

"Maybe the officers who did this don't like him living in their community," said Kennedy. "He's a white boy, a scraggly white boy, and all these officers are Hispanic. It's a New Mexico thing."

Kennedy said her client, 63-years-old when he was detained, looks somewhat like rocker Tom Petty and says he denies standing with his buttocks clenched.

"I've never read anything like that before for probable cause," Kennedy said.

In the search warrant affidavit that sought permission for an anal cavity probe, one police officer said he asked Eckert for permission to physically search him after the minor traffic stop. When Eckert refused, the document says, a police K-9 dog alerted them to the side of his car. Kennedy alleges the dog is not certified to search for drugs and may actually be a pet.

A judge granted the search warrant for the anal cavity probe, but not necessarily a colonoscopy.

Officers then transported Eckert to the Gila Regional Medical Center after an emergency room doctor at a Deming, N.M., hospital told them "this is unethical," Kennedy said. The doctor who refused to comply with police is willing to testify if the lawsuit goes to trial, according to Kennedy.

After arriving at the Gila facility, doctors examined Eckert's anal cavity twice with their fingers, put him through an x-ray scan and then inserted three rounds of enemas into his anus. After each enema, doctors examined the stool sample produced. Eckert was then given a second x-ray scan and forced to undergo a colonoscopy with anesthesia.

It's unclear why the colonoscopy was necessary after enemas and x-rays did not reveal hidden drugs. Eckert was sent a $6,000 bill for the medical procedures he involuntarily underwent, his lawyer says.

Police stun stepdad trying to save son from fire

The family of a 3-year-old killed in a northern Missouri house fire remains outraged after police used a stun gun on the boy's stepfather as he tried to run back in and save the child.

Riley Jeffrey Rieser Miller died early Oct. 31 in the Mississippi River town of Louisiana. A city police officer fired his stun gun at Ryan Miller, 31, as he tried to re-enter his burning home, according to a city official. The house was destroyed.

Grandmother Lori Miller said she witnessed two officers use their stun guns a total of three times, twice after Ryan Miller had been handcuffed. The final time, he was in the police squad car, she said....

The city administrator, who has served as a police officer and firefighter as well as a police chief in suburban St. Louis, called the police response a "judgment call."

Dad Calls Cops on Son to Teach Him a Lesson, Cops Shoot Son Dead

James Comstock told the Des Moines Register he called the police on his son Tyler after the latter took the former's truck in retaliation for refusing to buy him cigarettes.

Ames Police Officer Adam McPherson reportedly spotted the lawn care company vehicle and pursued it onto the Iowa State University campus, where a brief standoff ensued after Tyler allegedly refused orders to turn off the engine.

McPherson eventually fired six shots into the truck, two of which struck Tyler who was later pronounced dead.

The official report claims the action was necessary in order "to stop the ongoing threat to the public and the officers."

A veteran Chicago Police officer has been charged with molesting a minor girl years ago, and similarly attacking the victim’s 3-year-old daughter late last month.

Allen Hall forced his first victim to masturbate him while he was in his bed at his Austin home when the girl was 13, Assistant State’s Attorney Maura White said.

White said the girl told her mother what had happened, but authorities were never contacted at the time of the incident, which took place in either 2005 or 2006, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

Between 2007 and 2009, Allen also allegedly touched the girl’s breasts and groin in exchange for gifts.

Then, two weeks ago, Allen molested his victim’s toddler after he drove them to a currency exchange in the 5100 block of West Madison, White said.

When the older victim, now 21, went inside to make a purchase, Allen allegedly made the 3-year-old touch his penis.

An unnamed woman has become the latest person to come forward and claim she was physically abused by New Mexican authorities after being forced to undergo invasive surgery to prove she wasn’t carrying drugs.

The latest alleged victim claims she was sexually assaulted and that federal agents and medical staff exceeded their authority to search for drugs she didn’t have.

The woman was stopped by police in El Paso, Texas, after a drug-sniffing dog indicated that she might have drugs.

Police then strip-searched her and allegedly assault her by sticking their fingers into her vagina.

When the on-site search failed to turn up any drugs, police took the woman to University Medical Center of El Paso. There, she was given an X-ray, cat scan and full body search.

Five police officers shot a deranged homeless man with a tree branch. Why? Because they can and no one stops them. The pigs can murder with impunity.

Despite what the article aludes to; not a single officer faced departmental discipline.

San Antonio PD officer accused of rape

A San Antonio police officer was arrested Saturday and accused of raping a 19-year-old woman on the South Side early the day before. At a news conference Saturday, police said the officer has been accused of sexual assault before.

On Friday morning, according to an arrest warrant affidavit, Neal allegedly tailed a woman until she pulled over on Betty Street and stepped out of her vehicle. He turned on his overhead lights and requested that she get back inside.

The woman complied with the order but left her door open, the report said.

Neal told the woman he was following her because the car she was driving was reported stolen, the woman told police. She showed the officer a sales slip for the recently purchased car. Officers could not confirm whether the vehicle was ever reported stolen.

Neal asked the woman to get out of the vehicle so he could pat her down, according to the affidavit. The woman said she felt uncomfortable and asked that a female officer pat her down, but her request was ignored.

During the pat-down, the affidavit said, Neal groped the woman, placed her in handcuffs and moved her to the back of his patrol car.

The document said he then raped her and instructed her not to tell anyone. ...

Police Chief William McManus said a different woman made a similar complaint against Neal a few years ago. The date of that incident was not immediately available.

Neal was suspended in September for three days for dating an 18-year-old member of the Police Explorer program about two years ago. The program is meant to encourage young people to consider a career in law enforcement.

Oldie but goodie:

Drug-sniffing dogs can give police probable cause to root through cars by the roadside, but state data show the dogs have been wrong more often than they have been right about whether vehicles contain drugs or paraphernalia.

The dogs are trained to dig or sit when they smell drugs, which triggers automobile searches. But a Tribune analysis of three years of data for suburban departments found that only 44 percent of those alerts by the dogs led to the discovery of drugs or paraphernalia.

For Hispanic drivers, the success rate was just 27 percent.
