Today in cops gone feral

    Looking forward to the deep dive on the officer and the department. The County has fewer than 96,000 residents, the jail sleeps up to 300. My guess is a decent amount of dirt will be dug up. County sheriff's departments - particularly those in small rural areas - usually have more than a few skeletons or scams tied to them.

    You know it’s bad when even the union is finding hard to defend its cops

    I hope this SRO doing “mock crashes” wasn’t next in line to be employee of the month.

    Maybe it shouldn't be about "defund" the police, but if your department wishes to be eligible for federal dollars or fancy military surplus vehicles it be accredited by one of those organizations that do such things and evaluating law enforcement agencies on:
    -training standards.
    -record keeping.
    -community engagement.
    -complaint processes both within and from outside the department.

    Police have been using their political clout to really slack off on a lot of these things. We shouldn't be giving military surplus to agencies who can't show that they will use them responsibly.

    Cops in Kansas City shot a pregnant woman five times. Defund.

    The cops were afraid she would attack them with her fetus and her vagina. Very dangerous, nasty woman.
