ATLANTA POLICE, Georgia Corruption  and racism on the level with New Orleans INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH POND SCUM

 

In May 2009 these cops falsely arrested an innocent man for murder, only to be forced to release him a day later.

 

In May 2009 Officer Reginald Fisher shot an unarmed innocent man in the jaw, while working security. Atlanta Police refuse to cooperate with the civilian review board. The man had the bullet removed, but the cop was arrested for false arrest, aggravated assault and more.. It looks like the attitude of the cops has not really changed since the infamous murder several years ago of an elderly black woman. The cops in that case are now in prison.

 

In February 2009 former Atlanta cops and now federal inmates Jason Smith, Greg Junnier and Arthur Tesler were sentenced. Smith got 10 years,Junnier got six years and Tesler five years for the murder on a falsified drug raid that killed an elderly woman. The cops have to split the funeral costs of the innocent woman they murdered.

 

In July 2008 Officer John Kevin Freeman was arrested for murder and aggravated assault in connection in his shooting a security guard in his housing complex, as the guard was leaving. He is being held in The Cobb County Jail without bail.

 

In June 2008 Officer Wayne Longe was indicted for having sex in the back seat of his car with a woman he had arrested for a traffic offense. It is charged Longe drove her to a park where he could rape the woman in privacy. A trial is pending.

 

As of January 2008 there is an ongoing federal investigation concerning this department. Two more cops have been arrested, Officer Wilson Carstaffin is charged with sexual battery of a 12 year old girl. Another cop accepted payments from an Atlanta apartment complex in exchange for “protection.”  The new drug squad received FBI training in February 2008, with Chief Pennington issuing a stern warning not to take any “short cuts!” Violators will be arrested. Mr. Pennington, you are in the wrong business; ever think about a new career as a stand up comic?

 

As of November 2007 four innocent men have been released after being framed by crooked Atlanta cops, with 41 other cases under review. A police major must now sign off on any “no knock” warrants including the new drug unit. None of the old cops from the old drug unit are allowed on the new unit. The family of the woman murdered by the cops and the informant that was falsely imprisoned are bringing huge lawsuits. The cops are under a huge cloud, lacking trust and citizen support; this is how it should be for betrayal of public trust. It has come out that the cops lied about the Neal Street Massacre, and planted marijuana after murdering Mrs. Johnson, an elderly black woman. Think about getting your attorney there before you allow any Atlanta cop near you, otherwise say nothing. These are predator cops.

 

In October 2007 an off duty Atlanta cop, Steve Iman, shot at a college student and his girlfriend with his service pistol after an argument in a Marietta bar. Four other officers were suspended because they fled without reporting the incident until confronted by Atlanta PD supervisors. Iman is facing twenty years for shooting at a pick up truck with the couple inside. Atlanta Police Deputy Chief Andresen termed this incident a setback following the Thanksgiving Massacre of Kathryn Johnson while the department tries to regain public trust following the scandal last year. Also suspended from duty are officers Mathew Fuqua, Kevin Patton and Ryan Sinks.

 

In July 2007 the former police informant, Alex White returned to Washington D.C., to testify on Capital Hill about how Atlanta Police demanded he lie to cover their tracks. This was a well established pattern of manipulation and corruption that has emerged after the fatal Thanksgiving Day Massacre in an illegal raid by APD. It’s looking pretty ugly as calls are made for reform.

 

In late June 2007 Mr. Mingus Williams was finally set free from the Fulton County Jail. He was falsely arrested by Former Officer and Inmate Gregg Junier, who was involved in the murder of Kathryn Johnson last year. Many more releases are expected. Inmate Junnier admitted to lying to make a case. This innocent man was six months into a two year sentence.Fulton County DA Paul Howard has asked three other men jailed under similar conditions have their sentences commuted to time served; how about not guilty? But this is Georgia and they are still a bit slow in catching up to the idea that people have rights. Too little, too late. Williams saw his release held up a day due to “paperwork.” This is more typical Georgia judicial arrogance; adding insult to injury.

 

In March 2007 Chief Pennington announced new policy changes on raids in response to the Thanksgiving Day Masacre (see below) last year. More narcotics cops will be added and rotated off that duty to avoid “complacency.” Now top supervisors will have sign off on all “no knock” warrants, and must witness any payments to confidential informants. Narcotics cops will get more training. In April 2007 Inmates/former officers Gregg Junnier, and Gregg Smith, the murderers in the Thanksgiving Day Masacre, struck a plea bargain deal for their criminal acts on Neal Street. They admitted to lying to get the “no knock” warrant to make a raid on the home of Kathryn Johnston. Both will serve at least ten years in prison. Officer Arthur Tesler claims he is the fall guy, having been set up by the other two. Tesler claims he was at the back of the house with his weapon holstered. He decided to go for a jury and got 4 ½ years plus probation . A light sentence for being an accessory to murder.

 

Two months before the murder by Atlanta Police, another botched raid including Former Officer/Inmate Smith occurred down the door of another innocent elderly black woman. Frances Thompson lives at Simpson Landing, and was terrorized by another raid involving “snitches” fingering the wrong house. There were concerns expressed as a result of that raid that “things were going too fast,” and “that someone is going to get hurt.” Nothing was done to slow down these “urban cowboys.”

 

The arrogance of the Atlanta PD is evident in how U S Marshals behaved when they hit the wrong house on Stafford Street in May 2007. They arrogantly demanded the elderly 94 year old woman open the door, an unlawful order that was refused. When they showed the granddaughter a picture of the fugitive, they believed the woman when told they had the wrong house. The women were scared for their lives after The Thanksgiving Massacre by Atlanta Police. The feds even apologized and left, without breaking down doors or firing shots with the twelve men that had surrounded the house. They should have been more polite and not given unlawful orders in an arrogant fashion, threatening the lives of innocent citizens. But at least these women lived to tell about it.

 

The corruption probe is unfolding as an innocent 37 year old man was ordered released from prison without delay, as Inmate Cop Gregg Junnier was the main witness, and it looks like the funny white stuff was planted. The man has spent two years in prison and looking at a new trial. The DA is looking at other cases, looking for more lies, promising to undo all bad cases. The first lawsuit against The City of Atlanta for the two years of false imprisonment is already in the works. It looks like many more will follow.

 

This whole incident has sparked a major probe of widespread corruption within the department. Residents are coming forward in large numbers to claim illegal entry, callous systematic brutality, fake warrants and the planting of evidence. Hold on to your seats, this will get very ugly into the summer of 2007.

 

On January 23^rd 2007, Pete Williams, a black man released after twenty two years in prison for a rape DNA proves he is innocent of. In fact he was in jail on unrelated charges when three identical attacks occurred, but Atlanta Police and former DA Fred Takars (now a federal inmate) hid  this evidence and obtained a false conviction against this innocent man. Now Fulton County DA Paul Howard decided it best to release Williams, after first stating he needed to decide if Williams should be released. This should be a no brainer as innocent people do not belong in jail, except in Georgia?  Williams was booked into the Fulton County Jail then released until his hearing in two weeks when he will officially be innocent. This kind of delay is yet another typical act of Georgia judicial arrogance. Another 47 year old man is likely the man who attacked the women, but has yet to be charged. Expect another huge lawsuit on this as Atlanta’s jack booted thugs pay for their KKK activity. Hey, twenty one years later they finally nailed Kenneth Wicker for these crimes, too little, too late.

 

In November 2006, just before Thanksgiving Day, plainclothes Atlanta Police broke down the door of a 92 year old black woman, having obtained a warrant based bad information from a “snitch,” The women shot several officers thinking they were criminals, and was shot dead. Officer Arthur B Tesler who was involved in this raid is reported to have falsified a police report in a 2001 accident, that cost the city $450,0900 in damages. Civil rights groups called for a fair investigation. Civil rights leaders are calling for a federal probe as the person named in the bogus warrant was “Sam,” and no one other than the dead black woman lived there. It looks like they applied for a warrant without verification of the information. Atlanta PD claims to have recovered drugs, but there is serious doubt about if they planted evidence to “dirty up” another innocent victim. The “snitch” now claims no drugs were there, and denies the “buy” the warrant was based on. “Sam” also said he had never been to Ms Johnson’s house. “Sam” further states that he was called after the raid and ordered to lie to “cover your ass.” It looks like the cops planted some weed to cover their tracks. “Sam” was identified as Samuel T Gulley with a long criminal record, and is in federal custody at the time of this writing. Now the cops have come up with the story of a second “snitch” linking the house to drugs. Do you believe them? These officers have received commendations for their past work: kind of scary. In December 2006, two BATF agents were shot serving an arrest warrant. I ask you to think about what happens when people perceive the cops to be trigger happy; this perpetuates violence. The citizen has nothing left to lose, so there is no hesitation to shoot at a cop. It is time to end the cycle of violence and the cops must come clean by admitting their fault in the murder of this 92 year old woman, and locking up their own. As of January 2007 the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, announced three of the officers involved were indicted by a Fulton County Grand Jury on 25 April 2007. Two have already cut plea deals, and a third will fight it out in trial.

 

It has emerged these same officers have applied for many no-knock warrants on the same basis of not fully identifying the source, or having the special circumstances required for this kind of warrant. They even raided the house next door to the police murder victim, Ms. Johnston, in the past. These no-knock warrants are not finding drugs or weapons, and are violating the constitutional rights of citizens according a defense lawyer, Dennis Scheib, who was an Atlanta cop. Word is these narcotic cops had a “quota” to fill.                      

 

It appears the victim of police killing, Ms. Johnston, shot her assailants, officers Cary Bond, Gary Smith and Greg Junnier in defense of her home. Ms. Johnson was hard of hearing, and would not have recognized the special raid uniforms used by Atlanta Police. It appears Ms. Johnston thinking intruders were breaking in, shot the her assailants. Another factor emerging is the large number of abandoned houses in the area that most likely were involved in the “drug buy.” Ms. Johnston lived alone and was law abiding. Attorney Dennis Scheib told The Atlanta Constitution the cops are taking shortcuts and not doing thorough investigations. Judges are not requiring proof either. The lies that are told to get warrants are incredible to say the least. Sources are always named as “Black,” or “Sam.” The suspects or drugs never seem to turn up. It’s time to arrest these cops!

 

The police chief has vowed to take another look at the use of “No Knock” policy, and the issue of informants. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been asked to take over the case along with the FBI. The eight-person drug team has been suspended as the investigation rapidly expands.  This includes Sgt Pete Stallings as well the officers shot by Ms. Johnston in self defense.

 

Just after Thanksgiving Day 2006, Atlanta Police shot and killed a man identified as a robbery suspect, under mysterious conditions.

 

In 2006 Officer Richard Holmes was arrested for aggravated assault on another cop and perjury. A year later Chief Pennington still has no answers why the matter has not been resolved. Even more strange is the response by The Fulton County DA, who dropped all charges even though the crime carries decades in prison. Do we see a double standard here? Some other Atlanta cops are even calling for his punishment, without avail.

 

Atlanta has a long history of racist incidents victimizing people of color. The city is defending it’s own, in an uphill and losing battle. Chief Pennington, a black man, made a name cleaning up the New Orleans Police, prior to Hurricane Katrina. See our section below on New Orleans PD to see what Atlanta might well expect as the trucks of whitewash roll in. The chief has failed the citizens of Atlanta and should resign. One of my local sources in Atlanta calls him an “Oreo.”

 

AUSTIN Police, Texas

 

In February 2009 a man wrongfully arrested and convicted by this department was cleared of a rape charge after another man finally confessed. Timothy Cole died in prison in 1999 so this means very little in reality. This department has a long history of racist cops beating people up and making false arrests of black men like Mr. Cole. Rest in peace Mr. Cole, God will repay the cops.

 

In March 2005 a fire broke out at a black community nightclub. Police officers were observed by civilians reading the messages on their cruiser laptops through the windows sending email to each other of a highly racist nature. One officer even offered to bring “more gasoline” to the fire. This department follows the long tradition of Texas KKK jack booted thugs into the twenty first century with many false arrests, beatings, planted evidence and frame up jobs targeting people of color.

 

BAKERSFIELD POLICE, California

 

This department is responsible for John Stoll having spent 30 years in prison on a conviction of child molestation for incidents that never happened. The incidents were cooked up by investigators using psychological tricks. Even though the convictions were overturned District Attorney Lisa Green stated she felt the man is guilty and fought  on, holding him in jail until a hearing in  MAY 2004 , when he was finally released. This department has a long history of false arrest and racism going back to the days of the labor camps decades ago.

 

BALTIMORE POLICE, Maryland

 

In April 2009 Officers Gregoiry Mussmacher, Guy Gerstel and Sgt Wayne Thompson were hit with a six count federal indictment for beating up a handcuffed and shackled teenager with a baton and pool stick, and trying to cover up the attack. They are facing long prison sentences if convicted.

 

In July 2008 Officver Timothy Sanders III was indicted for shooting an unarmed man in the back while being questioned with his arms being cuffed. The cop is charged with involuntary manslaughter with arraignment set for August 29^th.

 

Early in January 2006 three BPD officers were arrested for sexual assault. The charges are they released a women from custody in exchange for sex. Two of the officers are charged with letting it happen. An investigation is underway.

 

Michael Austin served 27 years for the murder of a convenience store security guard. DNA evidence cleared him of a conviction that resulted from racist and incompetent police officers who failed to check his claim he was working that day. This department has a long history of human rights violations beyond belief. Now the governor has issued him a pardon and is talking about compensation.

 

BAY AREA TRANSIT POLICE

 

In January 2009 Police Officer Johannes Mehserle shot an unarmed man in the back as he was lying face down on a subway train station platform,. Setting off massive riots in Oakland, California. The cop refused to talk with investigators and resigned. The  ex-cop has received death threats as well for th4e killing of a father, and apparently innocent man. The cop was charged with murder while his parents found two packages on their porch, along with a bomb threat. 

 

BAY COUNTY SHERIFF, FLORIDA  Child Killers (Panama City)

 

Martin Lee Anderson died at a military boot camp style facility run by the sheriff under contract to the Florida State Department of Juvenile Justice, after being forced to run around a track as part of an intake process. The 14 year old developed difficulty breathing, and was subject to rough treatment. He was taken to a hospital where he died the next day. The program was shut down. Seven guards and one nurse will stand trial for the aggravated death of a child, and face sentences of 30 years each. The charges were based on “culpable negligence” when medical care was indicated, and apparently denied. The guards and nurse were not offered plea bargain deals. Governor Bush was directly involved in the case, and the family has brought a lawsuit.

 

Like too many Florida Sheriff’s Offices, this department has a long history of racism, false arrests, beatings and excessive use of force.

 

BELLAIRE POLICE, Texas

 

In January 2009, police mistakenly thought a SUV was stolen, then shot a man in the liver almost killing him. The cops were attacked by his family as the van was parked in the driveway, even pushing the man’s mother against a wall. No arrests were made and the cops are facing legal charges as well as a lawsuit as this appears to be a classic case of racial profiling against a black man.

 

BEMIDJI POLICE/CASS COUNTY SHERIFF, Minnesota

 

These two departments are now under investigation in October 2004 by the ACLU for racial profiling of members of the local Indian Reservation. While Police Chief Bruce Preece denies he has seen any untoward action towards Indians, the numbers tell a different story. While Indians are only 11% of the population of Cass County, they are the target of the most motor vehicle stops, searches and arrests. Local law enforcement blame this on the “poverty” of the Indians living on the reservation. Often Sheriffs Deputies and local police use feeble excuses such as a “burned out tail light” to pull over, search and then arrest  minorities while other residents are never stopped. Local law enforcement further blame their victims to justify racist conduct by citing the poor condition of older vehicles owned by residents of the reservation. The ACLU has set up a local office on a two year project to stem the tide of these racist jack booted thugs.

 

BENTON HARBOR PD, Michigan

 

In June 2003 police were in pursuit of a black man on a motorcycle, when the cycle crash killing the suspect. It was charged that Benton Harbor Police rammed the cycle causing the crash, gave each other “high fives,” and kicked the body. In the immediate aftermath the mostly black population rioted burning down buildings, attacking police officers and vehicles, as well as attempting to burn down the police station. Hundreds of outside state and local police were called in to restore order in what was described as a “war zone.” No police officers were charged in the death of the motorists, while many arrests following two nights of riots followed.

 

There have been many charges over the years of racism, beatings and deaths caused by local police. I had the misfortune to get lost in Benton Harbor some years back driving to Chicago. The local cops followed me and were obviously looking for an excuse to pull me over. I did not ask for help but made my way out of the town as quickly as legal speed allowed. Why two cops to follow me?

 

This is a police force with serious issues so be careful when dealing here. Stay away from the cops if you can.

 

Bernallito County Sheriff, New Mexico

 

Deputy Richard Castillo has drawn controversy for drawing his gun in March 2009, on an unarmed 70 year old woman in a motor vehicle stop, because she had trouble finding a place to pull over for a motor vehicle stop. When she started to open her car door, the deputy was ready to kill her. The cop was shoutingt at the women, and attempted to order a witness away to cover his actions. The woman was scared for her life.

 

BIRMINGHAM Police, Alabama

 

In May 2009 five cops were fired for beating a suspect after a January 2008 chase. It was captured on video

 

 

Bloomfield Police, Connecticut

 

In June 2007 one of the employees of this department, Ransford Smith Jr, EMS Coordinator was placed on suspension, and placed under investigation. No comment has been made on the nature of the charges. Smith had most recently served as President and Chief of Operations for The Windsor Volunteer Ambulance. As of 6 July 2007, he was no longer gainfully employed by The Town of Bloomfield. No one is saying very much either as to under what circumstances he left the position. I am being told the very existence of Windsor Volunteer Ambulance is in question. Reports are circulating widely that the political and financial situation at Windsor Ambulance is at best “grave.”  See Windsor Police on our page three at  http://www.gainesnet.com/police3.htm

 

In April 2004 Bloomfield Police stood by and failed in their sworn duty in allowing Hartford Police to falsely arrest an man in his home in Bloomfield. See Hartford Police for details on the false arrest by Maurice Washington and Bryant Moore, including negligently causing the injury of a falsely arrested person during transport.

 

This town borders rough sections of Hartford, and has many complaints of illegal search and stops on the town line by officers accused of racial profiling. There are serious issues with the conduct of some of the officers on this department. This department would be in the clown's gallery if their mistakes didn't impact on so many innocent people. I have received a large number of complaints about assaults and illegal search stops along the border with Hartford of minorities.

Their detective bureau is about 10 watts of “GE” as well. Some time back during an EMT Refresher Course at the Bloomfield Police EMS building, someone ripped off a computer from the cop shop. Now they came looking to everyone at the course, forcing people to sign "voluntary consent forms" to search the homes and cars of everyone who took the class. The bottom line is the computer and printer was never recovered. Four members of the volunteer EMS unit quit because of the handling of investigation by the Gestapo. Worse yet, word "leaked" out that a certain someone was the prime suspect, etc. A U S Department of Justice complaint was filed; along with complaints top the Attorney General of Connecticut. Internal Affairs tried to handle the complaint, but everyone was reading copies of this Web Site, circulating in mass at the Bloomfield Police EMS unit. If you ever have to deal with this department, do not talk to Detective Mark Samsel, and his Latino female partner. I was in that class, and had to deal with these two cops. As an aside, the stuff that was stolen was OLD and inferior. I read a copy of the search papers, then ran the serial numbers. Someone did them a favor taking out the trash for them. As a result, the cop shop is now protected with real locks, cameras, and alarms. The former Swiss cheese security system is history. No apologies from Bloomfield Police about their misconduct either. Don't hold your breath waiting either.....

 

BOLTON, Mass Police

 

This department ordered a man who was exonerated after spending 10 years in prison for rape, to register as a Sex Offender, or face arrest. After DNA cleared the man, the name was not removed from a list in what was described as an “administrative error.” See Marlboro Police for the main story. They were forced to withdraw this false regisatation. The officer involved could have checked the computer to verify the overturn, or called the court, but failed to do his job to get the facts. 

 

BOSTON POLICE  Domestic Terrorists  

 

In May 2009 the cops are trying to improve relationships with the Spanish community after years of false arrests, beatings and refusing to even offer help to victims of crimes. The Code of Silence is so strong that it has become a hot issue. The community perception is to fear the cops and avoid them for one’s own protection. The facts certainly support this view.

 

In December 2008 the Boston Police Superintendent, Robert P Dunford, took a leave of absence when it came to light there are allegations he ordered officials to overlook a romantic relationship between a police recruit and her instructor. Officer Paul Downey is the instructor charged in the case. Now an internal affairs investigation is underway.

 

In November 2007 Boston Police are rolling out a “program” to “get guns off the street,” in which they ask parents to allow cops to “voluntarily” consent to a search of their children’s living quarters. Legal experts have published in The Boston Globe warnings about this being an “end run” around the constitution, which provides safeguards to protect citizens against abusive police. There is no provision to properly inform the parents of the possible legal consequences involved either, just a push in the door. Given the long history of Boston Police involving false arrests etc, I would advise any parent not to allow any cop in undewr these circumstances as “evidence” might be planted. It wouldn’t be the first time.  If your kid has a gun, go find it yourself, and get rid of it in the Charles River or in a sewer. Don’t turn it over to the cops! Read under Hartford Police what happened to an honest parent being falsely arrested for doing this. Boston Police are not honest or professional. The program gives individual officer discretion for finding small amounts of drugs. Anything they “find” could put you or other family members in prison. You can bet any kind of drugs will get everyone busted. You have been warned. Look at the Boston Police and ask yourself the following question; would you buy a used car from this person?

 

In August 2007 Lt Haseeb Hosein, LT Timothy Kervin and LT Ghassoub Frangie were placed on administrative leave after audits revealed they collected huge sums for overtime they never worked. Criminal charges are being considered. Is the whitewash being delivered again? Kervin stole at least $237,000, Hosein at least $200,000. They are on desk duty at last posting. A civilian stealing a candy bar goes to jail, is this more double standard?

 

In July 2007 Superintendent Robert O Dunford was reprimanded for his remarks, in which he termed sexual assaults in East Boston as a “courting ritual.” His punishment is to go to “Sensitivity Training.” This dinosaur, aged 62 and tough talking, from Dorchester, deserves to be fired as a public example. Do you really expect an old dog to learn new tricks? I wonder how he would feel if his daughter got to experience a “courting ritual?”

 

In July 2007 Boston’s Homicide Unit, under the command of Deputy Superintendent Thomas Lee, when detectives from the B-3 Station arrested a man, charging him with homicide. The only problem is this innocent man was with another police officer at the time. Red faced BPD officials and Suffolk County DA Daniel F Conley, suddenly “withdrew” the charges. When asked if the charges were brought prematurely, with the cops having the nerve to compliment themselves on “good police work,” because they stopped a wrongful arrest and exposed exculpatory evidence. The cops also stated the standards of “probable cause” were met. If they had done good police work in the first place, the wrong man would have been left alone. He is lucky not to be headed to prison awaiting another overturn in ten or twenty years! It is scary how little it takes to put an innocent person behind bars in Boston; things have not changed as “probable cause” is all in the mind of the cop, and not based on facts.

 

In January 2007, the new Boston Police Commissioner got the Boston Globe to run an article blaming residents who refuse to talk to the cops as the cause of spreading crime. This typical “blame the victim” approach needs to be seen for what it is. How many innocent people have been beaten and intimidated into talking to rogue Boston cops? How many have served time for crimes they were innocent of, because they said anything at all to the cops? I still say don’t talk to these thugs, they have not proven themselves to be trustworthy. The commissioner was mad because a teenager ordered cops off his land, refusing to talk or answer questions. Well done and very smart, is my comment! Let these cops earn their pay with sweat and well deserved ridicule, contempt and disrespect they deserve. Bring in the state police to clean up this cesspool.

 

In October 2006 headlines in the Boston Globe et al told the sad tale of massive tampering with drug evidence within the property room as well as stolen drug evidence. This could well be a epidemic that kills thousands of cases as the credibility of any evidence held by The Boston Police is questioned. The Boston Police have just handed the cases to an army of defense lawyers and many cases will have to be dismissed.

 

In October 2006 Detective Sgt Daniel Keeler is under investigation after a surveillance tape from a Back Bay boutique showed him putting a pair of sun glasses in his pocket during a robbery investigation. This man lead the homicide detectives for over a decade, being involved in wrongful convictions that were overturned by a federal judge. Because the value of the stolen item is less than $250, he might be able to manipulate his way out of felony charges through a court clerk. He is on paid administrative leave pending resolution of the charges.

 

In July 2006 three Boston cops were busted in one of the worst scandals to rock the department. Officers Robert “Kiko” Pulido, Carlos A Pizarro and Nelson Carrasquillo were busted by the FBI after extensive investigations involving wiretaps. AS of this writing they are in federal custody. In September 2007 Pizzaro pled down, facing 24 years in prison, with a minimum of 10 years.  These officers are accused of being involved with even more corrupt officers as this probe expands in scope. Charges include dealing in cocaine and steroids, dealing in prostitution, stealing the IDs of motorists stopped by Pulido, fixing traffic tickets, loansharking and smuggling illegal aliens into the country. Boston Police are to conduct an internal affairs investigation along with the FBI. The city officials called this one of “the worst days in the history of the department.” You are advised to refuse to deal with any Boston cop if possible, and to refuse to give a Boston cop anything you can protect, as these predators are clearly out of control, rivaling New Orleans Police in sinking to the bottom of the barrel. Ask for a real cop in Boston, as State Police are around on the various roadways.

 

Another innocent man was released 23 January 2004 after spending six and one half years in prison.  Stephen Cowans was freed after DNA and fingerprint evidenced was retested. Boston Police used the fingerprint of another person to gain the original conviction. Until the last minute Suffolk County Assistant DA David E Meier vowed to re-try the case in the face of flawed evidence, but changed his tune on the courthouse steps. The case involved the near fatal assault on Boston Police officer Gregory Gallagher also wrongfully identified Cowans as his assailant. Gallagher, now a detective, still stands by his identification. Boston Police are now looking at an overhaul of their system used to process fingerprint and DNA evidence. Cowans is the 7^th person freed in Suffolk County due to sub-standard work by the Boston Police. Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley and Acting Boston Police Commissioner held a late afternoon new conference to express “regret and embarrassment of an innocent man being sent to prison.”

 

The 8^th  innocent person was released in March 2004, falsely arrested and convicted for a kidnapping and rape. Mr. Anthony Powell, 33 spent 12 years in Massachusetts State Prison, freed by DNA. Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley and the Boston Police Commissioner Kathleen O’Toole issued contrived aplogies, and even promised to overhaul the eyewitness identification procedures used by Boston Police. Don’t you believe it! Another case under prosecution (9^th) will be dismissed as a serial killer caught in another crime confessed. The charges against William Leydon were for the murder and beheading of his brother resulted from still yet another false arrest by Boston Police. Boston is just interested in the fact they got caught and this police commissioner will supply as much whitewash as needed, at taxpayer expense. Remember you are dealing with armed politicians.

 

The Boston Police Department is currently being sued following the release of Donnell Johnson after Mr. Johnson served five years in Massachusetts State Prison, wrongfully convicted for the murder of a nine-year-old child. Boston Police deliberately withheld evidence that would clearly indicate the man was innocent and stopped their investigation at that point. A real investigation by federal drug agents turned up the two correct suspects. Detective Sgt. William Mahoney is facing an Internal Affairs hearing for his role in the case. Also named in the $5 million lawsuit is The City of Boston, Detective Sgt Daniel Keeler and Detective James Doyle. The union is strongly defending its members.

 

In another scandal Patrolman Joesph Lemoure was stripped of his civil service rank and suspended following the beating of a motorist in June 2000, after making an unauthorized motor vehicle stop and failing to notify communications. The innocent motorist suffered jaw injuries after being pulled from his car in a brutal fashion. The union is defending the cop.

 

Several years ago Boston Police took down the door of the wrong apartment and caused the fatal heart attack of an innocent occupant, a black minister. There have been a number of other incidents over the years as well so beware when dealing with this agency as there are some Jack Boot cops still on the beat.

 

In May 2004 another overturn on a murder charge against Lawrence Adams has resulted in an order for a new trial. Adams is facing the dearth penalty for another botched Boston Police investigation.

 

Gerald Amirault was paroled after 18 years in prison and vows his innocence over a child molestation charge. Given the track record of Boston Police of racism, false arrest, false imprisonment and beatings, it is more likely this man is innocent than guilty.

 

As of June 2004 twelve innocent people have been freed from prison with no thanks to Boston Police, who now rank among the top three worst departments in terms of victims of false imprisonment.

 

Boston Police are facing still yet more overturns from people in prison wrongly arrested and convicted for gang murders, all the result of the political ambition of a certain former Suffolk County District Attorney. This department has a long history of racism and brutality so beware. I recommend you refuse to talk to any Boston Police officer or willingly submit to them any way you can without the use of the violence these people specialize in.! Demand an explanation for everything and refuse to accept anything you don’t like. File charges against any Boston officer for any contact you consider abusive. These are out of control racist jack booted thugs as indicated by the sheer number of minority innocent people released from prison. If you have a police issue in Boston, get a real cop by calling the State Police. Keep witnesses and do not hesitate to use a citizens arrest of the offending officer (criminal) for kidnapping, unlawful restraint, assault with a deadly weapon, sexual assault or whatever else fits. This department has lost it’s moral authority and public trust and every cop there deserves nothing. Give them what they have coming.

 

BOSTON REGIONAL SUBWAY (MBTA) SECURITY POLICE

 

This department recently paid out millions of dollars to settle large numbers of false arrest, racial profiling and related lawsuits stemming from a “zero tolerance” law and order campaign during which innocent minority teens were illegally arrested, wrongfully searched and subject to having guns drawn on them by officers who used foul language. An unidentified officer told the Boston press that “things got out of control,” and that “a lot of unjustified arrests were made.” The locals tell me this department still has a lot of  “goons.”

BRIDGEPORT POLICE, Connecticut

 

In March 2009 the city paid $250K for a false arrest made in 2002 over an armed robbery. The man spent 217 days in jail for a crime the evidence clearly showed he could not have done.

 

In June 2008 Officer Andre Orbegozo was arrested after kidnapping his girlfriend, another Bridgeport cop at gunpoint and driving her to a remote area.  He was busted at Griffin Hospital in Derby after hitting the woman with a gun. He was arrested by Ansonia Police.

 

This department has decided to get tough on crime in December of 2003, legislating what they call “Zero Tolerance Areas,” such as places rap music is featured. We are getting a disturbing number of complaints of people being pulled out of cars, body slammed against fences and cars just for asking what the problem is. A number of false arrest complaints are in the works as well. This department has officers that enforce a “Driving While Black” practice in violation of state law. Watch out in Bridgeport as some cops are more dangerous than the real criminals.

 

BRISTOL POLICE, Connecticut

 

In September 2005 a scandal broke involving the operation by off duty Bristol Police of a pirate radio station on 99.5 known as WNFR, or “Nigger Free Radio.” It’s KKK style programming in the late night stunned the mayor. Five years before Police Chief John DiVenere had heard about the station and ordered it shut down. As a result Sgt. Richard Valentine abruptly resigned. Another officer has blown the whistle after seeing the transmitter in Valentine’s home with an antenna mounted on a nearby tree. Suspended was Captain Daniel Britt, head of the patrol and detective division.

 

This department has a history of some problems of racism and false arrest.

 

BROWARD COUNTY SHERIFF, Florida

 

In August 2007 Deputy Scott Bures mistook an innocent man as a wanted rapist and allowed his police dog to bite the man. Other deputies cuffed and held the man under false arrest until it was discovered they had the wrong person. The man was released and required extensive medical care from the assault by the dog. The victim of the police attack has filed a lawsuit.

 

In February 2005 a false arrest made of an innocent black man at his grandmothers funeral on the basis of mistaken identity, charging him with murder. The victim of these cops was arrested at his grandmothers funeral in the graveyard, only to be released a few minutes later when someone realized the mistake. The description did not match but was based entirely on a tip by a confidential informant. In the process the man was shoved against a police car and his arm injured, requiring EMS transport and hospital care. When asked to apologize to the family, Detectives Mike Corbett, Chris Dale and other deputies merely laughed after disrupting a family funeral. Legal action is pending. The man is lucky not to have waited in prison for years to be released given the racist reputation of this third rate law enforcement agency.

 

BUFFALO POLICE, New York

 

Anthony J Capoozzi was ordered released on 2 April 2007 after DNA evidence cleared him of rape charges he has served twenty two years for, after a badly botched investigation by Buffalo Police. In spite of the judges order for immediate release, it appears the man will sit in custody until the end of the week in another act of protracted judicial arrogance. The man is in a state mental hospital due to his worsened schizophrenia from the direct effects of false imprisonment. The family intends to sue as well. The DNA matched up another man. Even a Buffalo Detective went against his department in support of this innocent man. There are some honest cops out there and Detective Dennis Delano put his job on the line to tell it like it is; the man is innocent. That is an act of courage given the toxic culture of Buffalo Police and the tainted “thin blue line.” Even the MO used by the real rapist matched the other crimes of the man now matched to the crime. Capozzi also suffered under a blanket order for convicted sex offenders, having been denied parole five times, by order of former Governor George Pataki. Because the man refused to admit his “guilt,” his sentence was in fact “extended.”

 

This department has a long history of racism and unprofessional conduct including having strip searched female prisoners in department men’s rooms. False arrests and beatings are part of the history too.

 

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL

 

In June 2008 a damage award of $75 K was reinstated against this agency for a wrong house raid that was intended to find a stolen motorcycle. Instead the 72 year old man was roughed up and unlawfully detained. The cops involed are Joe Van Houtte, Jim Carter and Gred Ziegler. Charges of excessive force were brought and sustained, throwing the man to the floor after being told this was the wrong address, then struck repeatedly in the head and neck. The incident took place in Tehama County.

 

CAMDEN NJ POLICE

 

Officer Michael Hearne, 42 of Woodbury, was arrested in November 2007 for giving a loaded gun to a friend with the intend to rob drug dealers and take a share of the profits. Hearne’s wife, Annie Hearne was indicted for money laundering after putting the money in the family bank account, and withdrawing some of the cash. All of this is on tape, and a friend of the local druglord “J R” Rivera. Hearne is out on bail awaiting trial.

 

This department has decades of history including being taken over by the N J State Police and a past police chief getting locked up. Camden has become the rat sewer of the Philly area and the cops have sunk to that same level. Avoid any way you can as these cops are far from honest.

 

CANTON, Ohio Police

 

Christopher Benet finally was released from Ohio State Prison after serving four years of a nine year sentence for crime DNA proves he could not have committed. Bennett suffered a head injury with memory loss, while a passenger in a car his drunken friend was driving. Prosecutors pressured Benett into pleading guilty even though he didn’t remember the accident. As he started to regain his memory he tried to tell his story. A witness to the crash put Bennett in the passenger seat. Bennett was pressured into pleading guilty to a lessor offense for time served, with prosecutors holding the threat of a twenty year sentence over his head. He took the “:deal” to get out of prison. This judicial arrogance is typical of Ohio justice I am told.

 

CHARLOTTESVILLE Police, Virginia

 

The Chief of Police has ordered the detective division to cease it’s dragnet operations in rounding up many innocent black men, and intimidating them into surrendering DNA samples. The abuse only stopped after publicity. There is a current case of a serial rapist and killer. The investigation is not going well, and the lack of professional conduct by racist cops is only making things worse. As of December 2005, this is the sad state of affairs.

 

Chicago Police Department Mayor Daley’s Racist Goon Squad Lives On

 

In June 2009 former officer Reynaldo Guevara was ordered to pay a man $15,000 for framing him. The innocent man spent 11 years in prison for a murder he did not do. The city must pay the man $21 million as well.

 

In June 2009 Officer William Greenwood was charged with sexual assault of an underage girl. He is on suspension.

 

In June 2009 Officer Anthony Abbate was convicted in the 2007 assault on a 125 pound female bartender, while he was drunk. He is facing five years in prison.

 

In May 2009 the cops were forced to stand alongside Cook County District Attorneys as another innocent man walked free, the victim of sloppy Chicago Police work. The man spent 16 years in prison for a murder he did not do. Another man was charged after witnessed withdrew their previous testimony. Also another man is headed to a new trial after it emerged that Cmdr Jon Burge and his Gestapo Squad beat a confession out of him. Also implicated in the beatings are Detective James O’Brien and Detective Anthony Maslanka.

 

Two Bully Cops beat an innocent unarmed autistic boy at work, using their batons causing head wounds that required hospital care and eight stitches. Internal Affairs is looking into the matter, you decide.

 

Officer Joseph Frugoli was charged in April 2009 in the off duty death of two people while driving drunk. He is under investigation by Internal Affairs and out on bail. During the bail hearing a near riot resulted in the Cook County Courthouse. He is on suspension as well.

 

Former Officer Anthony Doyle was sentenced  in March 2009, to 12 years in federal prison for collecting debts for loan sharks, and being a member of the mob.

 

Officer Richard Florito has been charged with false arrest on DUI charges as well as uttering anti-gay insults at innocent citizens. Another cop, John Haleas, is under investigation after 150 cases were dismissed for similar reasons. That case is pending as well in February 2009. Also another case of a man getting 24 parking tickets for a vehicle he no longer owns, after having a disagreement with a member of “Chicago’s Finest.” Initially the department refused to hear the man, but now after 23 were dismissed and another about to be thrown out, Internal Affairs is conducting an “investigation.” The man has the old license plates stored at home so is a cop out to get this guy?

 

A cop who beat an innocent man handcuffed to a wheelchair almost was allowed to return to work, after the city paid $125,000 for the criminal assault by Officer William Cozzi in August 2005. The cop lied about a false arrest in his report and has pleaded guilty in federal court in January 2009, now facing 8 years in federal prison for civil rights violations. Even Commissioner Weiss was disgusted with his conduct and sent the case to the FBI, because the punishment was too light. He reports to federal prison 6 August 2009 for 3.5 years.

 

In January 2009 a female cop is being sued for an illegal strip search of female students in a school. The cop was working as a security guard. The school administrators state they have disciplined the principals and cops involved. Nothing illegal was found and the girls were traumatized. More complaints about other illegal strip searches by Chicago Police and school security guards are emerging as the case gained publicity. More discipline is on the way if you believe Chicago officials.

 

In December one cop was busted for providing security to drug dealers. See Harvey Police below.

 

On election eve in November 2008 a number of cops attacked a peaceful group celebrating the victory of President Obama, using pepper spray and Tasers, making several false arrests. All the charges from the false arrests have been dismissed, and now the cops are under investigation. A federal civil rights lawsuit has been filed as well as at least two other lawsuits.

 

Officer Richard Doroniuk testified in federal court in November 2008 about a wide range of criminal activity by Chicago Police including stealing cash and drugs from drug dealers, planting drugs on innocent people, paying informants, falsifying reports, lying in court and even bribing a judge to get a bogus warrant. This testimony comes in the trial of his former partner, Officer Mahmoud Shamah  in the Morgan Park District. These two cops are accused of raiding storage lockers in 2006, stealing $30,000. The event was recorded by the FBI as this was bait money. Officer Doroniuk was asked how many innocent people they had framed, and replied that he didn’t know as he didn’t keep track of the cases.

 

Retired Officer Jon Burge was arrested in October 2008 for lying about torture cases that put innocent people in prison. This cop is accused about lying during civil cases. He was jailed and posted bond until his trial.

 

Officer Barbara Nevers was suspended for 15 months and ordered into counseling for demanding and taking free coffee and pastry from Starbucks. The suspension was awarded in August 2008. Why wasn’t the cop fired and put in jail with the rest of the thugs and crooks?

 

Officer Belinda Bernal and seven other cops are being sued for dragging a paralyzed man out of a van, and slamming him to the ground. The victim, Daniel Casares can no longer use his left arm and hand. He was falsely arrested by police His brother was cuffed and taken away, with the charges being dropped, but Daniel Casures was convicted of resisting arrest and placed on one years court supervision. The cop changed her story and still got a conviction on falsified charges. Business as usual in Chicago.

 

Superintendent Jody Weis is starting to show his true colors by getting one of his cops out of a five year sentence in Iowa. Officer Mike Mette was convicted of punching a man and got out of in prison. Even the Illinois Governor got involved. Had this happened in Chicago, which once boasted an official Office of Patronage, right next door to the late Mayor Richard Daley Sr’s office, the cop would never have been charged. But in Iowa patronage and police misconduct are viewed differently. The federal courts set this man free to force the lower courts to deliver a new finding of not guilty. This man will return to the steeets on the new elite crime squad! If this cop was really innocent, then maybe he will have a real appreciation for the medicine Chicago cops have dished out for decades. How come he got out of prison so quickly, only serving one year, when the rest of us might die in prison? This begs a lot of questions that require real answers. Officer Mile Mette, you will be watched for the smallest mistake. Perhaps you will find your way back to prison again, and if this ministry can help, it will.

 

In July 2008 Officer Michael J Ciancio, a 21 year veteran, was arrested by the FBI for soliciting bribes from tow truck drivers in exchange for inside referrals for accident tows. Charges of extortion were brought in the case.

 

In July 2008 Governor Blagojevich issued pardons to three men cleared by DNA in 2002, falsely arrested and imprisoned because of racist jack booted thug Chicago cops, finally clearing their records so they can jobs, etc.  The governor also pardoned a dead man who served over twelve years in prison for rape someone else committed. A group of actual innocents have sued the governor after waiting years to clear their names after cleared by DNA with charges dismissed, unable to get on with their lives as criminal records remain in place.

 

In July 2008 a couple whose baby was wrongfully taken by DCFS with the help of two Chicago Detectives who lied on their reports, was awarded $4.2 million, and the child was returned months later in September 2006. The Spanish parents were denied lie detector and other services in Spanish by racist cops.

 

In June 2008 a federal jury awarded a nurse $7.7 million for false arrest following an incident where she pulled Officer Kelly Brogan from a burning patrol car following an accident. The cops gun was missing and the cops set the nurse up by taking her to the station house and holding her for two days with very little water and food, being threatened with violence, forcing her to sign a “confession” and then falsely arresting the nurse. She spent ten months in jail before the charges were dismissed. The city plans to appeal the award as “excessive.” Perhaps you should think twice before helping a cop in an emergency (see main section) as the bad cops have made it hazardous to try to save the life of a cop who has been shot or otherwise injured.

 

Officer Joesph Grillo was busted by federal authorities during June 2008 for an illegal insurance scam involving another Grand Central District cop and a tow truck driver. The scheme involved stolen cars and chop shops. A joint federal and city investigation was launched. He will be sentenced in June 2009 to up to six months in jail.

 

In late May 2008 indicted officer Keith Herrera admitted in an interview with CBS 60 Minutes that members of The Special Operations Team were encouraged and coached in the art of falsifying reports to “get results.” Herrera is now facing 30 years for home invasion, armed violence, robbery and other charges. His menor, officer Jerry Finnigan, is facing charges to trying to hire a hit man to kill a fellow officer; the hit man was an undercover FBI agent. The practice was referred to as “creative writing.” The probe by the new police commissioner, retired FBI agent Jody Weiss, continues with a new Internal Affairs unit in place.

 

In May 2008 another innocent man was freed by DNA after spending 14 years after bungling Chicago cops set him up. Dean Casge, aged 41, was forced to wait many hours while Illinois prison officials botched up an emergent release after Cook County indicated it had the case “dismissed.”

 

Officer Richard Schmidt was arrested in March 2008 for attacking Forest Park Police while drunk and after causing damage to the bar. A Taser was used to control this cop. He is on suspension pending investigation.

 

Former officer John Herman was sentenced to 25 years in prison for sexual assault of a woman, while on duty. The City of Chicago has agreed to pay the woman over $1 million for the kidnapping and rape from 2004.Detective Constance Besteda is under internal affairs review for her role in helping the detective.  The other cop has since retired.

 

As of February 2008 the cop shop has a new meister, retired FBI agent Jody Weis who wasted no time firing top brass, and picking lower ranking cops, bypassing traditional candidates. Mr. Weiss says “It’s time for a change.” African American and Latino cops were promoted as several brass resigned rather than be demoted. We advise you to not trust these cops and follow our guidelines in dealing with this agency as there are still large numbers of corrupt and brutal jack booted thugs in the ranks. Weis brought in a former FBI associate to help him in his stated task.

 

Another innocent might get out of prison after 25 years, being there because a guilty man confessed to his defense attorney and made that attorney not tell anyone until after his death. No longer bound by attorney-client privilege, the state is considering if this long held secret can be admissible in court, and thus free another innocent man. States Attorney Richard Schwind has refused to comment on this case, citing the pending hearings. But Alton Logan stays in prison while Chicago style justice plays politics as usual.

 

In January 2008 charges were dropped against a man shot in the eye by Chicago Police, for lack of evidence. Police claimed the man pulled a gun on him, but no gun was found. Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office has reversed the trend of just allowing the cops to charge anyone they shoot, realizing this has been a long standing practice to cover police murders. Another “investigation” is underway, but the cops managed to arrest this innocent man a few days later and falsely imprison him in the medical wing of The Cook County Jail. Business as usual with a new police boss coming in, Jody Weiss. Don’t expect much folks. Another innocent man is going to prison one way or the next and the Chicago cops have sent a message.

 

In October 2007 a new trial was ordered for a man coerced into a confession by Chicago Police in 1983 for a murder.

 

In October 2007 the “Special Operations Section” [SOS] was formally disbanded after numerous findings that officers robbed people they stopped, made illegal searches and seizures, made false arrests and beat innocent people. The Cook County DA has been forced to withdraw all charges involving these corrupt officers, about 110 cases initially, some still in jail. The cops pulled from “SOS” will be returned to very close supervision on regular beats. One SOS cop, olor:red'>Officer Jerome Finnigan, was busted by the FBI for planning the murder of a cop cooperating in the investigation of police crime. Meanwhile a new police commissioner has taken over under heavy fire.

 

In July 2007 the Chicago Tribune ran a story about how “The Special Operations Unit” is scandal-plagued with the top four cops on the complaint list each having 50 or more civilian complaints over the last five years. There is a criminal probe by the Cook County State’s Attorney underway. Six cops have been indicted for robbery and kidnapping alone. Ten officers had 408 complaints alone. These complaints are not being followed up or acted on, with the cops not being held in account. The federal judge ordered the names of officers given to City Aldermen, but the redacted lists omitted the names. There is a long over-due movement to separate The Office of Professional Standards, from the Chicago Police Department, and move them out of the cop shop.

 

Six months later, three officers were arrested on felony charges related to a beating in the loop. Officers Gregory Barnes, Paul Powers and Sgt Jeffrey Planey are facing long prison terms as Chicago reels from the shock of the latest scandal from it’s police department. These cops were on the beat six months while any civilian would have rotted in the Cook County Jail.

 

On 21 April 2007 another man was cleared of rape by DNA, after being framed by Chicago’s Finest, and spending 26 years in prison. He was forced to wear an electronic bracelet and register as a sex offender after release, and remained under this confinement until Monday 23 April 2007, when the slow and arrogant justice system finally set him “free.” Chicago Police and Cook County DA have fought this overturn with incredible energy over the decades, but is that really a shock?

 

On 2 April 2007, Commissioner Phillip J Cline resigned in embarrassment over two incidents of brutal beatings that he termed the worst in the history of the department. He admitted he should have moving faster than one month in taking bad cops off the street. Cline also criticized the efforts by fellow cops to help Officer Anthony Abatte enter and leave the courthouse away from the public. Perhaps now new and enlightened leadership can come in and clean up this gigantic cesspool. The actions of Commissioner Cline are too little, and too late.

 

In February 2007 a security camera recorded the level of violence all too common among a too many Chicago cops. Anthony Abbate, a twelve year veteran and 250 pounds was caught beating up a bartender half his size. The woman suffered injuries to her neck, head, back and lower body. The cop was finally arrested in March 2007 for attacking the woman with a chair. The matter is under review by Internal Affairs, and it’s expected this cop will be fired. How about some prison time too? Not likely and what a shame at that. New evidence of a second attack and the refusal of cops to intervene after other off-duty cops spoke with the officers has raised serious questions as this was all caught on tape. The Chicago Police have refused to release the names of other officers involved in assaulting several other innocent civilians. Cook County is dragging it’s feet on bringing charges. Supt Philip Cline announced in The Chicago Tribune major changes including meeting with prosecutors within two days and removing police powers more quickly, instead of several months later as is the current case of six officers under review. At a recent hearing on the case uniformed cops used their squad cars to block access to the hearing and issued parking tickets to the media for attending.

 

Another incident in February 2007 showed six off duty cops mauling four innocent people at another bar.

 

On Thanksgiving Day 2006 inmate Marlon Pendelton sat in Dixon Correction Center serving a long sentence for a rape new DNA tests prove he is innocent of. The old Chicago Police Lab is in trouble as the work of one of it’s technicians, Pamela Fish is again called into question, along with a large number of cases. Now the courts have to decide if this innocent man gets a new trial or an overturn. This story carried in the Chicago Tribune on Thanksgiving Day 2006. How many months or years will he sit in prison? How many other cases will be overturned? How many more millions of dollars to be paid to actual innocents?

 

In February 2006 major headlines ran in the Chicago press about another settlement for a man who spent 11 ½ years after being framed by Chicago Police for a rape DNA proved he didn’t commit. This cost CPD $9 million to settle out of court as they were afraid of what a jury would give. The innocent man still charges he was beaten and forced to confess by the cops. The aldermen are asking how many more settlements are “in the pipeline,” and asking why it is always minorities getting falsely locked up. This alderman further called to put “the cops on trial.” Chicago Police have promised a full “investigation.” Yeah right folks.  Not much has changed since 1968 and The Democratic National Convention.

This department once charged two children, ages seven and ten with rape murders, even though a child this age can't produce semen! One of the most racist and corrupt departments this is another department right up there with Philadelphia and New Orleans. A check of their history reveals detectives using department vehicles to carry out armed robberies while on duty, in Hammond, Indiana, and within the city limits. In the Hammond robbery, these two detectives covered their activity by stopping an innocent bystander, planting a gun on this person, and falsely arresting them. Officer Becker made headlines by shooting an unarmed homeless man. Avoid this department by any means possible.

 

More cases of Chicago Police officers running drug and gun rings, committing false arrest, and beating up citizens are emerging since this page was written, including shooting an unarmed black female for having a cellular phone in her hand. No arrests of the police criminals to date. This department is clearly out of control, and any Chicago officer should be treated with extreme caution as armed and dangerous. This department might well be both the biggest group of criminals in Chicago, and the worst agency in the USA. Not much has changed since Richard Daley Sr.

 

Some years ago Officer Becker shot a homeless man for trying to clean off his windshield, for money, Another cop shot dead an innocent black women for having a cell phone in her hand. This cop claimed the phone was a gun, even though cell phones were the size and shape of bricks, in those days. He only lost his job.

 

Back in 1985 I was almost run off the road by a Chicago cop trying to get to his home in the suburbs for lunch. I gave the numbers off the car to internal affairs, only to be told they could not “find” the car. I was almost run off the road several days in a row, but he stopped that abuse once I called internal affairs. No charges were filed either.

 

CHICOPEE POLICE, Massachusetts

 

A department long known for false arrests, racism, beatings and arrogance is being sued in August 2005 for the false arrest in 1987 of an innocent man who was cleared after several years in prison for a rape DNA cleared him of. Eduardo Velazques was framed by Chicopee Police using tainted identification procedures. Named in the lawsuit are Sgt Roy Landry, and Officer Mark Coelho as well as three retired officers. The City Of Chicopee has stonewalled compensation even though the man was released and cleared in 2001, now offering on $500K, The suit seeks $10 million.

 

This department has a long record of arresting people for asking an officer to leave private property or refusing to answer questions. There has been no overhaul of the department to date. Stay away from this goon squad if you can.

 

CICERO POLICE, Illinois

 

In March 2008 a Commander, Wesley Scott, remains on paid leave, charged with drug possession. This department remains ineffective, racist and bad police work.

 

This department was once owned and operated by Al Capone, and acted as his muscle. To this day this cesspool of corruption continues to operate much like the old days, with brothels openly operating. It took the Cook County Sheriff’s Police unit to raid the houses of ill repute. This department is well known for racism, beatings, false arrests and bribes. They once protected Al Capone’s operation after it was forced out of Chicago, when too many bullet-ridden corpses disgusted Chicago citizens.

 

It is nothing short of a miracle that former officer James DiSantis, was convicted on federal charges of beating a motorist in 2003. He is facing ten years in prison at his sentencing on 3 September 2007. He was a twenty-year veteran of the force. This one got caught and hauled into the federal court. Don’t expect justice from an Illinois court.

 

Cincinnati Police, Ohio

 

This department has a long history of racial profiling, false arrests and murder. The most recent killing of another unarmed black man sparked several days of riots. The officer who killed this man is before a grand jury at this point, but watch for a whitewash somewhere in the “justice system.” This department is at least as dangerous as Pittsburgh. Many comments have reached me about how the tactics used by this department rival the SS and Gestapo, under Hitler. Another police killing in November 2003 was ruled a “homicide” by the medical examiner where several cops beat down an unarmed man with sticks. This department is one of the worst and most dangerous in the country.

 

COLUMBUS, OHIO

 

In August 2008, Robert McClendon was ordered released over police objections following 17 years in prison for a rape DNA states he did not commit. He was held several hours as county sheriffs jail guards dragged their feet on “technicalities.” This department is like many in Ohio that allow cops free reign to violate citizens rights, and carry out false arrests. Beatings and planting evidence are common too.

 

Connecticut Corrections Parole Prison Guards

 

On June 28^th Mr. Kevin Davidson was sitting eating peanut butter sandwich when four armed parole officers broke down his door. They saw him with the knife he used to make the sandwich and entered with drawn guns. They cuffed him and then found out he was the wrong man and they had the wrong address. They left without an apology and refused to fix the door. They did not properly identify themselves while entering while wearing civilian clothes, and even uttered a wisecrack about hoping he could get his door fixed.  The wrongfully assaulted man had the choice of picking up a shotgun to resist. Had the parole guards bothered to check addresses and computer data, this could have been prevented. They took an unfounded report and went with it, almost creating a bloodbath.

 

In the aftermath the state is finally paying for repairs. The State DOC and East Hartford Police are lying on their reports to cover their tracks about who initiated the forced, unlawful entry. The three prison parole guards were suspended for the use of unverified information, poor judgment and failure to immediately report an incident. Prison Guard Jason Gaudet was suspended for thirty days, while fellow guards Jason Bedard and Jeffrey Fernandes received five days suspension. All three will be retrained after their disciplinary suspensions, before returning to duty. Correction Commissioner Theresa C. Lanz issued an apology, finally. As of November 2005 the family is bring suit against all the law enforcement agencies, and officers involved, as well as Corrections and the individual prison parole guards.

 

COOK COUNTY SHERIFF, Chicago

 

In December 2008, 14 members of this department were busted by the FBI in a drug scheme for providing security for drug dealers. See Harvey Police below.

 

This department paid $950,000 in the death of a women in custody for shoplifting, after denial of medical care. The woman was found dead in her cell hours later. Lack of funding cut the numbers of jail security guards. One nurse was fired and another disciplined for gross neglect of a patient. Yet further budget cuts continue. The woman left two young children behind.

 

CORPUS CHRISTI POLICE TEXAS CAUSE INNOCENT MAN TO BE EXECUTED

 

In December 2006 The Chicago Tribune revealed the results of it’s investigation that reveal Carlos DeLuna was wrongfully convicted and executed following false arrest by Corpus Christi Police, for a convenience store murder in 1983 another man bragged about doing. No forensic evidence linked DeLuna to the crime, and police ignored witnesses saying they were not sure of the identification. Police claimed the motive was robbery, but company records indicate no money was taken. Detective Escobedo ignored numerous tips about the real killer, Carlos Hernandez, who has since died in prison. Deluna was executed in 1989.

 

The DA, Ken Botary called Hernandez “a phantom,” but this man was well known to local police as a violent career criminal. Hernandez bragged to family members about having killed another woman in 1979, as well as the store murder. People were afraid to come forward out of fear for their own lives. The same MO used by Hernandez match the store murder as well. Ken Botary, now in private law practice, still says he got the right man. It will no doubt be years before the truth is admitted, and only by federal courts as the Texas courts will protect their own, not the innocent. Former Detective Escobedo denies she ever received these tips about Hernandez.

 

So there we have, more Texas justice.

 

CULPEPPER Police, Virginia

 

This department is being sued for gaining access to private nude photos after a very questionable arrest. The cops even invited a bunch of other cops from several agencies to come view the pictures. Sgt Matt Borders and Chief Scott Barlow are named in the federal lawsuit as of April 2009.

CULPEPPER SHERIIF, Virginia

This department has been sued by an innocent man after being tricked into a false confession and spending years on death row. Officers tricked a mentally retarded man and stiffed him with a rape charge. Earl Washing was ordered released after charges of deliberately withholding evidence of the man’s innocence emerged.

CUSTER COUNTY SHERIFF, Oklahoma

High Sheriff Mike Burgess stands accused by former female inmates and a deputy of multiple accounts of sexual assault. Inmates were forced to engage in wet tee shirt contests and exposing their breasts, in exchange for cigarettes. Charges of oral sodomy and bribery are also being brought. The sheriff is charged with forcing inmates to perform sexual acts in his office. Failure to deliver routinely brought charges of being sent to prison. A federal lawsuit brought out all of these charges in August 2008.

DALLAS POLICE TEXAS: RACIST SCUM & JUST PLAIN DUMB MEET A NEW BLACK DISTRICT ATTORNEY OPENING 30 YEARS OF OLD CASE FILES

 

In April 2009 Officer Robert Powell resigned after pulling a gun at a hospital parking lot on man whose mother-in-law was dying in the hospital, and not letting him see the woman before she died. An alleged traffic stop was used as the excuse as the man was held to hear the cop’s “lecture.” This cop has also apologized to the man and his fellow officers. The Dallas Police Chief also apologized. Racism is still alive and well in Dallas.

 

In August 2008 Steve Phillips became the 19^th man to walk free after DNA freed him, following a 25 year prison sentence thanks to the Dallas cops. In typical Texas judicial arrogance he must wait to officially exonerated by the State Court of Appeals, which can take months or years. Phillips was forced by cops to plead guilty, under the former nazi style DA.

 

In July 2008 the 18^th man DNA proved innocent was released after long delays by arrogant sheriff’s guards. Patrick Walker spent 16 years in prison after being framed by racist Dallas cops for kidnapping, murder and rape. He had been rejected by previous Das and judges for years for a DNA test.

 

In May 2008 another innocent person was ordered released after spending 27 years in prison, cleared by DNA. He was framed by Dallas Police who refused to listen to him, and ignored by the DA who refused to consider anything thast sttod in the way of his record number of convictions. James Lee Woodard is finally free.

 

As of January 2008 the 30^TH man was released after 27 years in prison for a rape DNA proves he didn’t do. He was ordered  released on the spot as the judge recommended his conviction be overturned. Credit for the false conviction was given to overzealous cops and DA’s out for a conviction at all costs, and a flawed police lab.

 

In April 2007 another man was cleared by DNA after serving time and being forced to register as a sex offender. The Dallas Police botched this case ignoring a man that lived across the street from the victim of a gang rape, who had the same name. The black man who was falsely arrested and convicted lived twenty five miles away, had gold teeth and there was doubt by the victim about the ID. The man must now wait for the appeals court to act; God knows how long that will take in Good Ole Boy Texas. This is number thirteen of overturns in Dallas as of April 2007.

 

As of February 2007 a black man has been elected District Attorney, has declared a “new day in Dallas.” Now there will be cooperation with defense lawyers as well as thirty years worth of files being opened to The Texas Innocence Project for open examination. Dallas uses a private lab so they have all those years of DNA in storage. The days of The John Birch Society are over.  Expect a large number of overturns, including some executed people.

 

In October 2006, Larry Fuller was finally freed as an innocent man, after DNA proved he was innocent of a 1981 rape he spent 18 years in prison for. After being released in 1999, he was sent back to prison in 2005 for a parole violation. He was convicted due to a faulty line-up and ID. Fuller, a black man and decorated Vietnam Veteran protested his innocence for years, before the Dallas County DA finally gave permission for the DNA to be tested. This is just another case of Dallas Police racism. How many other innocent people have been locked away by these bad cops? Ten innocent people have been overturned in the past five years because of Dallas Police incompetence and/or worse. The State of Texas doesn’t pay damages either.

 

On March 21, 2006, Gergory Wallis was ordered released after serving 18 years for a rape DNA cleared him of, after being framed by Dallas Police. The burglary and sexual assault occurred in 1988 and was wrongfully sentenced to 50 years. Police and the DA fought hard to keep him in prison even after the DNA cleared him, delaying his release by many hours after the judge ordered him released. See Dallas County Sheriff below as well. This department remains corrupt and not worthy of trust.

 

Having been under investigation by the FBI after a huge scandal, this department should be avoided any way you legally can! The Narcotics Bureau of DPD racked up over thirty arrests of Mexican automotive mechanics. None of these individuals had any prior records. The common theme is the DPD would arrive with a warrant and their guns drawn, “find” a car out front loaded with lots of funny white stuff, and produce a positive field test for crack. The suspects then were arrested and hauled off to the county jail. The DPD never ran legitimate lab tests until defense attorneys demanded it, at which point the “funny white stuff” turned out to be sheet rock. The Dallas County DA then “offered” to reduce the charges to attempting to sell a simulated substance and time served for a guilty plea. The Dallas County DA forced seventeen Mexican men to plead and be deported before a real investigation revealed these men had been set up! Cases have been dismissed and civil action is pending.  Cleary there is no integrity in much of the Texas Criminal Justice System as the good ole boys and racist bigots are in charge!

 

DALLAS COUNTY SHERIFF, TX  KILLERS! RACIST SCUM

 

In February 2007 the high sheriff paid $1,000,000 to settle the death of a man denied medical care in the Dallas County Jail for diabetes, pneumonia, dehydration, seizures and other ailments. The U S Department of Justice has threatened more legal action if this neglect is not fixed. Inmates were denied mental health care and in one case water for two weeks in his cell.

 

This agency held an innocent man in contravention of a court order 15 months. The man was assaulted by his son and jailed briefly by court order for failure to child support. The Sheriiff’s Office never properly recorded the release order. Only after his cellmate mentioned the facts to a public defender was the matter investigated. He was released the same day, in time for Christmas 2005. These good ole boys sleep in the same bed as the Dallas Police.

 

DAVIDSON COUNTY SHERIFF, Lexington NC Killers

 

In October 2008 charges were being dropped against a elderly man falsely arrested, tasered and beaten by Sheriffs Deputy Sgt Kevin Barker, previously fired as a deputy in Forsyth County. The facts have emerged the elderly man was trying to warn firefighters about chemicals in the barn, and was not allowed to do so. The man was denied medical attention for difficulty breathing.

 

In January 2008 the high sheriff and county settled a lawsuit following the brutal beating death of Carlos Claros in the jailhouse. Two detention security guards Brandon Huie and Ronald Parker were charged with second degree murder, downgraded to involuntary manslaughter. Both went to prison, and a huge sum was paid to the family. Current High Sheriff David Grice, a defendant in the lawsuit, refuses comment on the charges of under-staffing, and poorly trained jail guards resulting in excessive force.

 

This department has a well deserved reputation of false arrests, beatings, racism and being lazy in responding to issues impacting innocent citizens victimized by criminals.

 

Former Sheriff Gerald Hege was forced to resign after many sworn statements were given to the State Bureau of Investigation that indicate deputies took county money to pay for Christmas parties and stopping a Hispanic driver because of his ethnicity. Yet the new sheriff decided to take no action against 27 crooked deputies. These deputies might not face warranted criminal charges. The former sheriff, Hege, pleaded guilty to two charges of obstruction of justice and received probation.

 

DAVIE COUNTY SHERIFF, North Carolina

 

Damages of $12,000 were awarded to an innocent man falsely arrested while his barn was burning. His record will be expunged as well. The man was falsely arrested trying to warn firefighters about chemicals in his burning barn. Deputy Kevin Barker assaulted and used a Taser on a 69 year old man who was trying to keep his daughter out of the barn. Barker was fired from The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office after his grandfather Ron Barker was defeated in a bid for re-election. Deputy J H Stevens III also took part in the false arrest and assault on the man. The county will have to pay the legal bills for the false charges as well.  All charges were dropped.

 

DAYTON, OHIO POLICE

 

In July 2008 Dayton Police went to a house looking for the son of the woman who answered the door. The woman, in her 80’s. is blind, and suffers from cancer and diabetes. The cops were told by the woman he was at the home, responded by ordering the woman to get off the phone; they had no authority as she was not in custody. Then a female cop applied the Taser to the woman until witnesses told the cops she was blind. This woman had been robbed before by people knocking on the door claiming to be cops. In a final act of arrogance the cops announced they will arrest the woman for assault on a police officer; obviously an attempt to cover up their criminal assault. The woman had to be taken to the hospital for potentially life threatening injuries following the use of the Taser.

 

The cops are backing up their own, continuing a long tradition of racism, false arrests and beatings.

 

DEKALB COUNTY SHERIIF and POLICE, Georgia

 

As of November 2006 there have been increased calls for a grand jury to investigate 14 officer shootings in DeKalb County in 2006 alone. The NAACO is calling for the review because as you might guess people of color were the majority of those shot by police. This department has a bad history including strip searching Muslum boy and girl scouts in a parking lot, which resulted in a riot that freed two men falsely arrested by police. Two cruisers were overturned  in that riot which several cops injured as they were forced to withdraw from the scene. Racism has a long history here with this department linked to the KKK. As of January 2007 a black man has taken over as chief with promises of reform, including sending impartial civilian monitors to all scenes of police shootings..

 

In August 2004 Clarence Harrison, a 44 year old black man, walked out of the Dekalb County Court a free man after serving seventeen years for a rape DNA proves someone else committed. The police in the Atlanta and Dekalb County area have a well deserved reputation for being brutally repressive and racist. This case is raising racial tensions and questions as to how many other innocent people were framed and falsely arrested by these rogue cops.

 

The former Sheriff was convicted of murder in the death of the new Sheriff, who never got to assume office as he was gunned down on orders of the incumbent. The new Sheriff had promised to clean up corruption in a hot race for office. We have heard reports of drug trafficking, false arrest, and beatings by officers of this department. Some time ago the County Police here strip searched Black Muslim Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in a church parking lot, after false arrests, leading to a riot where the police cars were overturned and the victims of false arrest were set free when police were over-powered. This county is full of racism according to many reports we get.

 

DELAWARE COUNTY JAIL: GEO GROUP aka WACKENHUT SECURITY

 

In April 2009 a lawsuit is underway for illegal strip searches of thousands of people held on minor charges. The GEO Group, owned by Wackenhut, lost the jail contract last year.

 

In July 2008, an inmate suffering from a chronic disease, Cystic Fibrosis, died in the Delaware County Jail for lack of medical care. This rare and fatal disease requires expensive and intensive medical care as victims often die in their thirties. His health deteriorated dramatically after being imprisoned for a charge he denied. GEO Group operates prisons in many parts of the USA, and has been criticized for poor health care. At least eight other people have died in the same jail.

 

DENVER POLICE, Colorado

 

Charges were dismissed against a man in August 2008, who was falsely arrested and beaten while handcuffed. The cops got caught on tape lying about the events with six cops involved. This is not the first false arrest and beating carried out by this racist department.

 

DEPTFORD NJ POLICE Racketeering Cops

 

On June 14 2007 Judge M. Christine Allen-Jackson ordered the entire 71 member force to stop intimidating witnesses in the upcoming trial of Officer Gillespie for beating a motorist. The evidence of witness tampering was noted by the judge who noted it could damage the testimony of other cops in the trial. Patrolman Timothy Parks was also charged in the incident as was Patrolman Brian Green with lying about the incident. The three are on unpaid suspension. Police Chief John Marolt was summoned to the court house to hear the order directly from the judge, and nervously promised to issue a cover letter “to all personnel.” Such an order is rare as cops are expected to obey the law, and not intimidate other police officers who would be called to testify. The judged agreed intimidation had taken place. Lawyer John Eastlack, representing one of the accused officers stated he had never seen such an extraordinary judicial protective order in 20 years as a lawyer. He further stated, “ I’ve heard of protective orders issued to gangs to stop witness tampering, or to the Cosa Nostra, but not to police officers.” Two supervisors, Capt. Daniel Murphy and Lt. John Weatherby have been accused of threatening a sergeant who planned to testify. This is under investigation by the NJ Attorney General. Sgt. John Leone stated that Capt. Murphy angrily told him he had “sandbagged the department,” and would suffer “severe consequences” for testifying.

 

In July 2007 Patrolman John Gillespie somehow convinced the jury to see it his way. But this man still faces administrative action within the department as there is taped evidence. A civil suit is still pendingas well.

 

DETROIT POLICE: MICHIGAN pure pond scum

 

In March 2009 147 cases have been ordered reviewed after the closing of the city crime lab, and this is only the tip of the iceberg with at least 3o other cases being challenged by defense lawyers. The Michigan State Police shut the lab down. The reviews will take at least three years and could result in a lot of innocent people being freed from prison. One case has already gone to a new trial after the DA intimidated a man into a plea.

 

In July 2007 a narcotics detective was suspended  because $2.4 million of cocaine turned up missing from the evidence room. Chief Ella Bully-Cummings withheld the name pending criminal charges. The FBI is involved in the case.

 

In February 2006 police 911 operators ignored calls from Robert Turner that his mother had passed out, scolding him for playing with the phone. When EMS finally was sent later, she was dead. Police have promised a “through investigation.”  A major lawsuit is being filed. The dispatchers are facing arrest?

                                                                                                                                                            

The Detroit Police recently had a case overturned after an innocent black man served 17 years for a murder DNA said he could not have committed. Detroit police forced this Bi-polar man to “confess,” and then along with the Wayne County DA hid information from the man’s attorney for thirteen years, that another person had confessed. This police force has shot innocent people and locked up many innocent people over the years making it a force Hitler and the Gestapo would be proud to call their very own. Racist jackboot cops still patrol the streets today with their hands into graft.

 

Detroit police falsely arrested black women taken hostage by escaped convicts some time back, holding her two days and taking her hostage-children away from her. The innocent woman-hostage stated the escaped convicts treated her better than the Detroit Police did.

 

Not only will you die waiting for police help in Detroit, they might kill you or falsely arrest you. This department is beyond words!

 

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA POLICE/DC HOUSE OF CORRECTION

 

In August 2005 District of Columbia officials settled with Joesph Heard for $1.1 million. Heard was wrongfully arrested on a trespass charge by DC Police and ordered freed by a federal judge. Heard was returned to The D C House of Correction where he languished for two years because his records were lost. Because Mr. Heard is deaf, mute and mentally impaired he was unable to communicate with his jail guards who denied him the right to a sign language interpreter or TTY as required by law. Instead his jail guards labeled him as a psychiatric case and Mr. Heard was forcefully administered psychotropic medications against his will, and in violation of his legal rights. The fact was only discovered when his records were located as they were ready to transfer Mr. Heard to a federal prison. His brothers had tried for months to locate him and finally found him in jail. To it’s shame D C officials used every legal scheme to resist settling the case, even though they knew they were wrong.  The award may go as high as $1,555,000 due to the negligence of the jails medical provider and legal fees.

 

This is a department with problems relating to basic human rights and corruption that date back to the Mayor Barry era,. And beyond.

 

DuPage County Sheriffs Office, Wheaton, Illinois

This department framed two innocent men for murder, with the help of the detectives "Dream Team." The principles on trial, "The DuPage Seven" got off due to typical Illinois corruption. These two innocent men were almost executed three times, lead by the zealous backing of James Martin, now Illinois Attorney General, then DuPage County States Attorney. The Sheriff or department has yet to own up and really apologize. These police criminals had their trial delayed due to adverse publicity when The Chicago Tribune ran a story on misconduct by prosecutors. It seems these guys can hand out something they can't swallow. These cops beat the charges but Illinois has stopped all executions due the many innocent people freed from Death Row, more than they executed. Justice in Illinois is a disgrace.

 

DUPLIN COIUNTY SHERIFF, NC man freed from death row

 

Levon Jones is being freed on 2 May 2008 while the Sheriff drags it’s feet on the release by many hours, having falsely arrested this man over 13 years ago and framing him for murder. In a typical act of North Carolina judicial arrogance Duplin County DA Dewey Hudson asked the charges be dropped after a federal judge overturned the conviction. Sheriff’s detectives coached a witness on how to lie at the trial. This is the second man freed from death row in the past two months. Welcome to North Carolina folks.

 

DURHAM POLICE & COUNTY DA, North Carolina ROGUE!

 

On September 7, 2007,  Rouge D A Mike Nifong reported to jail for contempt of court. The angry judge blasted his withholding DNA evidence from the defense, that cleared these guys of a false accusation. Nifong is no longer a lawyer either. Now the three innocent former Duke students have filed 2 $30 million lawsyuit against Glory Boy Nifong, former Police Chief Steve Chalmes, Officer Benjamin Himan, Officer Mark Gollieb, and DNA Security Services Director Brian Meehan. The lawsuit charges the withholding of evidence, smeared reputations, witness intimidation, a rigged photo line up that included only Duke LacRoss players and other police misconduct. Duke University President has already issued an apology, and paid up under a confidential settlement. This case has shaken the entire North Carolina court system to the roots.

 

On 11 April 2007 the North Carolina Attorney General cleared the former Duke students of false rape charges. In a rare deviation from the unconditional support given cops and the DA, the AG called Michael Nifong a “rogue prosecutor”, and called Nifong’s handling of the case “a rush to accuse.” Now the families of the innocent men are looking to sue, to recover millions in legal fees. Lawsuits against Duke University for suspending these students were quickly and quietly settled, now the suits are coming for the DA and Durham County. The bravado that replaced warranted caution and careful investigation has scarred innocent lives beyond repair. NC Attorney General Roy Cooper stated “no attack occurred,” and called the whole case a “hoax.”

 

What is worse the Durham Police falsely arrested a cab driver who truthfully told the facts under oath, stating that one of the Duke students was somewhere else. A bogus warrant was issued on a false account by police, because the cab driver picked up a woman at a store, not knowing the woman was a shoplifter. The detectives arrested this innocent cab driver, asking him if he was still talking to the press about the Duke case, then telling the cab driver this was the reason for the arrest. The charges were later dismissed and the man freed. This was a failed attempt to intimidate and interfere with a witness to support Nifongs campaign to railroad three innocent Duke players. This kind of intimidation and abuse of authority allowed the case to go as far as it did before the hoax was exposed. Shame on the Durham cops! I have other stories from friends about how this bunch operates.

 

Michael Nifong, Durham County DA lost his law license and has agreed to resign as DA following the dismissed charges in the Duke University rape case that DNA says was not. Nifong is facing criminal contempt charges for his actions which have painted the entire criminal justice system in North Carolina as rogue. Nifong tried to pin what charges he could on innocent Duke players. This is another case of false arrest by a DA seeking glory and to win an election. Duke University has invited the three students back in January 2007. This is just more of Duke University’s hubris and arrogance.

 

East Hartford Police, Connecticut RACIST

 

In October 2007 the discipline against officer Darrel Drouin for excessive force was overturned. This cop responded to a bar fight, and while an innocent woman not involved in the fight was being escorted out of the bar, she was walking backwards and innocently bumped his weapon. In response the woman was hit twice with a stun gun, cuffed and held 15 minutes in a police car before being released without charges. The police chief maintains the force was unwarranted, but human resources disagreed. Normally a person would be arrested under these conditions once a stun gun was used, and this was a rare exception. Chief Sirois cited inconsistencies in the cops report. The cops should have been arrested but were not. Now this cop has no discipline in his record, but perhaps someone will read this site and charge him in the future when he crosses the line again. He surely will.

 

In August 2007 Lt Lisa Freeman is under investigation for harassment charges. The department has yet to release the specifics.

 

In December 2006 DNA cleared a black male church elder falsely arrested on sexual assault charges of a mentally retarded girl. Had the police done proper questioning, it would have been clear the elder sits in the front of the congregation, and it would be impossible for him to have taken the girl to a bathroom as was stated by police. This man states the cops “had their mind made up” when questioning him. This man endured the silent abuse of stares of jail guards who are not supposed to judge inmates. Also the other inmates treated him like dirt as well for eight months. States Attorney Christopher Pelosi and East Hartford Police strongly objected to the mans release, on a lower bail raised by his church. The man can’t go to church and is under house arrest with electronic monitoring until his next court date on January 17 2006, when they will decide if they will drop the charges against him. His daughter was taunted by classmates calling her dad a “rapist.” Now it looks like this was a cruel made up lie that has destroyed another innocent man, with the help of the judicial meatgrinder.

 

This department also took part in a botched raid on the wrong house with Corrections Parole Guards which targeted the wrong man instead of a wanted fugitive.

 

Several years ago this department was forced to drop bank robbery charges against Mr. Michael Edmonston, for a wrongful arrest on the charges of bank robbery. The gun or stolen cash were never recovered, but on the basis of very shaky witness identification, the man spent 8 weeks in prison until the charges were dropped. The East Hartford were even responsible for damages to Mr. Edmondson’s mothers car in the impound lot, which was seized and towed with this wrongful arrest.  The police are back peddling and using doublespeak to explain the arrest and dropping of the false charges. The family plans to sue for wrongful arrest. There have been other scandals in this department including a male officer refusing a parents demand to stop communicating with a teenage female explorer, and the many issues surrounding the chief’s office. Once a very good department, as I can state from personal experience, this agency has hit the skids and should not be trusted

 

EAST HAVEN POLICE, CT Racist Goon Squad

 

In March 2009, the case broke into the press about the false arrest of a Catholic Preist false arrestly while filming the harassment of Spanish citizens in a store. Officers David Cari and Spaulding assaulted the priest and forced him to stop recording their misconduct. There are many charges against police for racial profiling and harassment in the area, and the store involved over eight months. The residents report they are fearful of cops. Motor vehicle stops of minorities are reported at an all time high with more police harassment than ever after this priest stood up to the cops. The case is going to a jury.

 

East Windsor PD, Connecticut

 

In October 2007 Officer Darren Seligman, aged 38, was arrested by the FBI as he reported for work, charged with attempting to lure an eleven year old girl into sexual contact. This officer has children of his own. He was held pending a bail hearing, and faces a ten year prison sentence if convicted. Police Chief Edward DeMarco Jr. expressed shock at the arrest of this 4 ½ year employee.

 

In December 2006 officers Darren E Seligman and Arkadiusz  “Eric” Petilk were named in a lawsuit along with the town for a false arrest involiving excessive force of a retired police chief. The retired police chief left $15 on the table of a restaurant when his food failed to arrive after fifteen minutes. The waitress failed to realize he had left money, and had this innocent man stopped in another bar where was falsely arrested and thrown to the floor even though witnesses claim he was submitting to false arrest. The waitress at Goodfellas Restaurant called police before she knew what was going on.  The victim of the false arrest suffered broken bones and massive bruises that required hospital care.

 

The early history of this department includes a police chief lying to a state trooper to cover the arrest of a cop caught driving a cruiser off duty while drunk, and other incidents.

 

In May 2006 Officer Rafael Crespo was convicted of sexual assault, facing five to twenty years in prison.  A former Marine assigned to protect dilomoats, he was arrested by Yale University Police for assaulting his girlfriend. This incident comes head on heels after Officer John Scavotto was charged in a Taser attack on another officer, at the police station. John Scavotto has resigned after his arrest resulted in a plea bargain

 

Edison Township, New Jersey

 

As featured on Sixty Minutes, officers of this department were identified with being involved in the unjustified beating of a young teen-age female at a bar, with off duty officers joining in. One of the officers involved in this incident was investigated for the theft of money from a local church. The investigator, assigned by the District Attorney, called this police department “The Cesspool of Police Departments.” One of the officers involved has been appointed Training Officer after the incident. One of the officers involved in this incident was previously suspended twice while employed at another law enforcement agency. The facts speak for themselves.

 

ELIZABETH CITY POLICE, New Jersey

 

This department put away an innocent man for twenty-two years, cleared by DNA and released in May 2007. They arrogantly held him on electronic monitoring with full stated intent to retry him. The publicity forced prosecutor Theodore J Romankow to drop that idea.

 

Elmhurst Police & Fire Commission, DuPage County, Illinois

 

The son of long-term commissioner Wade C Jones B.S. RRT FAARC (American Association for Respiratory Care). Justin Jones was convicted for arson on 2005, and drew one years sentence, most of which was work release time. Wade Jones resigned from the Fire & Police Commission for personal reasons as a result. Mr. Wade Jones is a well known leader in the Boy Scouts as well as Director of Respiratory Care at a Chicago area major hospital. It seems Justin Jones set helped set fire to a pile of construction materials, that spread to the house under construction, and damaged two nearby occupied homes. Then two days later they set fire to a parked school bus. The school security caught the whole thing and it couldn’t be covered up. Justin Jones was busted by the police and fire agency his dad oversaw. There are serious questions of Wade Jones having used his political pull to help his kid as Justin was facing more serious charges that should have landed him in prison for at least seven years. Wade Jones must pay restitution of around $100,000 as Justin was a minor at the time of the offense.  Justin is now a registered offender in the arson data base for life, at the same level as a registered sex offender. I am not able to say more following a settlement paid me when I sued him back in 1995 in Chicago, when he was my boss. Mr. Jones is well known in the Chicago Respiratory Care scene after more than twenty years. Ask around the Chicago Respiratory Care community for more information.

 

Elon Police, North Carolina

 

Police here are being sued in April 2009 after the cops used a stun gun on a man in his underwear during an arrest.

 

Enfield Police, Connecticut THE ENDLESS SAGA! DRUKEN CLOWNS IN A THREE RING CIRCUS

 

In February 2008 reports of another bad arrest surfaced. Enfield Police wrongfully arrested an innocent man for sexual assault, failing to investigate leads that obviously would have shown that his accuser, Cariann Backus, was lying. Backus plead guilty and was sentenced to prison. The innocent man lost his education and college grants at Asnuntuck Community College (similar to the actions of Duke University in expelling innocent LaCrosse players before trial: Duke paid millions in damages as a result), and ran up thousands of dollars in lawyers fees, which Backus must repay. It took the cops one year of false accusations during which the innocent man was a prisoner in his own home with a constant witness, before they figured out the woman was lying. The cops failed to pick up on the obvious fact the false accuser is a nut case which should have lead to more careful investigation. An innocent man spent two days in the local jail before posting $1000 to go home.

 

In September 2007 an unnamed police lieutenant was placed under investigation with a paid suspension, pending outcome of the inquiry. Nothing ever came of it.

 

In May 2007 four cops served suspensions for off duty misconduct related to a off duty gathering where alcohol was served.

 

In April 2007 the department was ordered to re-hire a dispatcher they caught with a small amount of marijuana in his home. The man went through rehab and had his record erased. Three years back pay will be included. The town must now decide if to appeal. But a cop who did hit & run in Windsor is back on with full status. This is another management flaw, or perhaps just the latest.

 

In March 2007 two local cops were arrested. Mathew Worden was arrested on two counts of assault following an altercation with his live in girlfriend, who was also arrested. Bryan Nolan was arrested during an investigation of the dispute when it is alleged he stole a stop sign from Brookline Plaza, and was charged with sixth degree larceny. Worden claimed he was attempting to stop his girlfriend from driving while drunk. Accounts state the two cops got physical with each other too. As of 31 March 2007 the charges against Worden and his girlfriend have been dropped on the reasoning Worden was just trying to keep his girlfriend from driving after drinking but received a sixty day suspension. This raises questions as the victim of a false arrest on Lincoln Street was under false charges for months, but the cops get faster service. Or is this political favortism as well? Nolan suddenly had the charges against him dismissed as well. Do you trust the courts on this? I sure have some questions about this as it looks to me like the whitewash truck made a huge delivery to the town government and/or the GA 13 Court. Who signed for delivery?

 

False charges were dropped on an arrest made by Detective Cooper. A tenant took revenge on her landlord by bringing fabricated charges in a dispute over a rental issue. We are also hearing complaints of Officer Tim Vergean having made false arrests of numerous innocent people. This accredited police agency has leadership issues that have destroyed trust with the property owners to the point of creating a real concern in calling for police services; the significant risk of false arrest of rental property owners caused by drug dealing and deadbeat tenants. The Police Steering Committee which was founded to build good community relations has eroded to the point where police officers openly verbally harass and slander a falsely arrested property owners in the meeting hall; the police officer was told to quiet down by the chair. Landlords in Enfield, be advised that the cops might not protect you but take the side of the bad guy.

 

One cop in my town has a street reputation for sexual activity with a known sixteen year old prostitute, yet nothing gets done about it. It is an open secret and just more small town drama.

 

In January 2006 Officer Gregory Skop was arrested and suspended, and then terminated for assaulting a female EMT he was dating. According to inside sources the assault occurred while being witnessed by two other cops at the police station. One of the two refused to report or give a statement on the incident, while the other cop did. It is alleged the cop beat the woman with a baton. The female EMT was an ambulance volunteer in a near by town, as well as a town EMS employee. The new police chief, Carl Sferrazara stated this kind of conduct will not be tolerated, in the press release. Inside sources tell me some Enfield some cops unsuccessfully tried to cover the incident up. The incident has ruined relations between the police and several area EMS agencies. Mr. Skop was also arrested in February 2006 for using a dog to assault his girlfriend in Southwick, Massachusetts as well. Thus he is facing charges in Massachusetts that might land him in prison. As further proof can do no wrong, Skop was placed on Accelerated Rehabilitation, which means the charges will be dropped in Connecticut if he stays clean. Lets hope Massachusetts locks this man up as the victim expressed serious concerns about his mental health. The court ignored these facts. Who was bought off?

 

In September 2005 Officer Tim Vergean was arrested by Windsor Police for leaving the scene of an accident. Windsor Police called Enfield Police, only to have Officer Vergean turn himself in seven hours later. What was he doing during those seven hours? I wonder what a sobriety test would have revealed had it been administered immediately at the scene. He faced a fine and one year in prison, but he was given a thirty day suspension and a court fine, because he is the fair haired boy of Enfield Police administration and the Enfield GA 13 prosecutors. It is ironic this very aggressive cop got busted by an honest police department. He is still a cop and the town lost the chance to remove  a menace to human rights from the streets. That will put some of his cases in legal challenge for corruption. Another Enfield cop walks free when as civilian would have gone to jail.

 

In March 2005 a Superior Court Judge dismissed felony assault charges after it surfaced in court that this department only arrested the three victims an assault by the property owner, after a dispute over stolen money. The victims stated in court they were attacked with Mace and a baseball bat, and further that the cops refused to listen to their side of the story while not arresting the assailants. Then Deputy Chief Carl Sferrazza stood by his officers while conceding that “further arrests are a possibility,” while the investigation continued. The Enfield Superior Court Prosecutors , Christopher Morano et al, are well known for coercing people into taking a plea bargain rather than put in an honest days work for their pay. These prosecutors have forgotten their duty to identify and protect the innocent, as they prefer to side with their buddy cops. How many innocent people have plead down because of these rogue prosecutors and now have records they don’t deserve? Only God himself knows.

 

There are a number of well trained and professional officers in this department that do a very good job, and suffered under the lack of leadership by former Chief Ronald Marcotte, and others. During recent cases the State’s Attorney, former Town Manager Scott Shanley and police administration stone walled an innocent victim of false arrest and attempted to bully this individual into pleading guilty, without success. This ministry and others did what could be done to get the word out. This ministry was “ordered” by the CT State’s Attorney and local town officials to cease it’s protest activity, including this web site coverage, or the innocent man would face jail. They attempted without success  to take back their “deal”  because of the publicity this and other sites have brought them, including over a massive number of  calls and emails to town officials. You can make your voice heard by calling Chief Carl Sferrazza at 860-763-8915 or send FAX to 860-763-6424.

 

In January 2004 one of their dispatchers, Mark McClure pleaded guilty to pedophilia with boys, and was sentenced to one year in prison. Mr. McClure was also a paid firefighter in Thompsonville. This is not the first dispatcher to get in trouble with the law. Another was arrested in Massachusetts for having an unregistered gun during a bar room fight. Both the town police and fire departments were featured on a cover story in The Hartford Courant for their relentless and deadly gossip that all but destroyed the good name of a woman who recently lost her military husband in Iraq. Enfield is another Peyton Place.

 

 In the past this police department has weathered scandals of police brutality and a false arrest over walking a dog in which an innocent citizen was beaten up; the town paid six figures. It looks like history is repeating itself. Enfield Police are also facing a lawsuit brought by a former local motel worker, arrested on charges of theft; the charges were dropped but the woman lost her job while trying to support her children and go to college. One former officer, Frank Vincenzo was arrested and plead to grand theft charges, losing his job. Local police here have hit the wrong houses on more than one occasion (including mine) while serving warrants.

 

Even a honest cop here might not stand a chance as evidenced by a lawsuit brought by Mathew Saltarella charging retaliation and unlawful termination after an incident where his supervisor, Carl Sferrazza (new Chief) was on patrol with him. It is charged that during a domestic call Sferrazza ordered a man arrested instead of the person that appeared to be at fault. It is further charged that Sferrazza knew the woman involved in the domestic, favoring her over the innocent husband. Retaliation and termination then followed when Saltarella expressed concern to police administration over the incident. Then Deputy Chief Raymomnd Bouchard claims to have completed an “Internal Investigation” that clears the air, but please review my comments on internal affairs as this is more like the cat guarding the canary. (Former) Deputy Chief Bouchard has generated many comments that have reached me about his hot temper and over authoritative conduct, over a number of years. The Arbitrator ruled in favor of the police terminating this man, but lingering doubts remain.

 

In May 2004 another Enfield Police dispatcher was arrested, charged with first degree larceny for $68,000 missing from the Bingo Operations of the Enfield High School Boosters Club. Maguirk is out of $50,00 bail and on suspension from his police department duties awaiting trial.

 

In August 2004 Hartford Police recovered a stolen gun from a drug dealer. The gun was stolen from an unsecured locker in Enfield Police headquarters in 2000. A “review” was held and the former town manager, Scott Shanley ordered that all police officers lockers must now be secured. The officer in question admitted having two guns “gone missing” during his thirty years of service.

 

In January 2005 a Hartford Courant story revealed that an off duty Enfield Police Officer attended a fundraising party organized by an outlaw motorcycle gang. Two state corrections officers were fired for attending the same party, but the local cop received only “minor disciplinary action” and the towns police department will say no more. A double standard? You decide. We need a civilian review board here in town but the town cops have blocked this for years. The town cops have forgotten that we the citizens are the boss. It’s time to put certain high ranking cops in their proper place “to serve and protect,” and not to legislate and overstep their bounds of authority. There is an old southern saying that “He who grows to big for his bitches will be exposed, in the end.” Their day is coming much like the abuse scandals in the 1970s toppled that regime.

 

When former Chief Ronald Marcotte retired in December, Acting Town Manager Chris Bromson stated openly it was a “tradition” of promoting the chief’s position “from within.” Enfield appointed Deputy Chief Carl Sferrazza as the new chief. The town has lost a chance to bring in as new broom and clean up some issues within the department. It would appear Enfield is in for more of the same old problems, and that innocent citizens face false arrest and traffic citations.

 

FAYETTEVILLE POLICE, NC

 

In January 2008 a man told the cops he was overdosing on crack, so the cops used the Taser on him. The man died shortly asfterwards. The State Bureau of Investigation is “investigating.” The Taser is more often being misused by cops and has caused a large number of deaths nationwide.

 

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION: A betrayal of trust

 

In November 2007 the story broke about flawed forensic tests used to match a bullet to a specific weapon. It is estimated that at least 250 people might be sitting in prison as actual innocents, with cases in North Carolina and Maryland going for new trials. On top of that the FBI knew this in 2005 and said nothing. Many inmates will lose their appeals as they have two to four years to appeal, but the information to make those appeals was not forthcoming by the FBI. This means these innocents will serve their unjust sentences with no legal recourse, unless the President or Governors grant “pardons.” Hell will freeze over before Republican President George Bush does such a thing; Governor bush allowed an obviously innocent man to sit in jail for months waiting for the Texas Supreme Court to drag it’s feet on doing anything. Publicity forced a “pardon” by then Governor Bush. Many state governors will not act to avoid paying damages for false imprisonment, no doubt lead by Texas, Virginia and South Carolina. This is not America anymore because the constitution is being slowly shredded by vested political interests.

 

Sources within the federal system tell me that many federal cases are “weak tea.” How many innocents are sitting in federal prison?

 

In July 2007 a federal judge ordered the FBI to pay $101 million to four men they allowed to sit in prison for murders the FBI knew they were innocent of. This was done to play down the Maffia and build relationships with mobsters. Three FBI agents knew the men were innocent but allowed this to go on. Reports are this was known up the level of the late J Edgar Hoover, former FBI Director, who approved. We must rid the FBI of these ghosts as we need the public trust.

 

In March 2007 the FBI & DEA in Philadelphia falsely arrested a women in her home during the early hours of the morning.

The woman was at home getting her kids ready for school when this false arrest was made on a bad warrant. It turns out the woman was a patient at Dr. Evelyn F P Sabudo’s office, 450 Medical Center on West Dauphin Street, where the secretary, Vannesa Redding was dealing in prescription pads. An anonymous informant fingered the wrong woman by calling Jennifer Castro “Cookie,” a nickname Redding has, and the feds failed to check their facts before taking Jennifer Castro downtown for fingerprinting, mug photographs, strip search and a court hearing later that afternoon. Arrogant federal officers intimidated her to tears by threatening her with 25 years in prison. Red faced feds and Assistant U S Attorney Catherine Votaw had to explain that Castro was telling the truth and was innocent after all, after finally checking the facts and were chagrined while she was ordered released over their objections.  Assistant U S Attorney Catherine Votaw verbalized more “pretend apologies” but little more.  Ms. Castro and her children are reeling by this brazen act of judicial incompetence.

 

These arrogant federal cops fail to realize how their actions can destroy a family and have long-term ruinous effects on innocent citizens. They just think everyone should not mind getting arrested and spending a day or a few years in jail while they treat innocent citizens as their “playthings.” Lets hope a nice lawsuit at least helps the burden these jack booted thugs have inflicted.

Now Ms. Castro now has a federal arrest record that will most likely cause her problems at an airport, customs or if dealing with any cop in the future. The feds called it an “honest mistake.” We don’t agree. Now the feds say they have the right woman on a warrant. Oh Really? We need new laws to erase every record at the state and federal level in any case where any arrest is overturned or dismissed. But to many cops she will look “guilty” by reason of having been arrested. I have heard that DEA really stands for “don’t expect anything.” I see no reason to doubt that well deserved description.

 

In March 2007 the news broke about the abuse of National Security Letters by the FBI under the patriot act. Thousands of such letters were issued including for purposes not related to national security. The numbers reported to Congress were less than the actual number issued. Who can we trust? If the FBI is this patently dishonest, it begs the question of how crooked the local cops are. It is clear time to amend if not repeal the “Patriot Act.” We need to end this systematic encroachment on our civil liberties. The controversy continues in July 2007 as more information about the abuse of very large numbers of abused national security letters were used to collect private financial information, in violation of the law. Attorney General Gonzales is now himself facing a probe for possible perjury charges for this and other matters, before Congress.

 

A scandal from the days of J Edgar Hoover hit the front pages of The Boston Globe years ago, with the release of Mr. Joseph Salvati from Massachusetts State Prison, after serving thirty years for a murder committed by an FBI informant. In March 2007 federal courts are looking at $100,000,000 in damages to four families of men the FBI allowed to go to state prison as “collateral damage,” in order to penetrate the mob. It turns out Special Agents of Boston’s FBI Organized Crime Unit allowed this man to sit in prison while protecting the real killer. It is reported even J Edgar Hoover knew of this man’s innocence. The testimony by retired Special FBI Agent H Paul Rico was such that the Congressional Committee holding hearings had to recess to regain their composure due to the callus disregard by Mr. Rico for the actions of the FBI. Connecticut Representative Christopher Dodd led three hours of hostile questioning during which Mr. Rico was berated and shamed. There are other allegations coming to light that raise many serious questions about FBI conduct, to say the least. There are growing citizen concerns about federal agents who refuse to uphold a standard they demand of local and state police. If you have ever dealt with the Border Patrol you will know what I am saying.

 

In March 2005 the conviction of Michael Behn in New Jersey was overturned after it was discovered that there was no scientific basis for FBI lab tests on bullets. Behn is serving life for murder as of March 2005, and a new trial was ordered. This is just the tip of the iceberg as 2,500 cases were subject to this discredited test, and 500 cases used these lab results. A flood of court challenges and overturns are expected nationwide. It was a now retired FBI agent that blew the whistle on this case.

 

In 2004 an innocent Washington state attorney, Mr. Mayfield, a Muslum convert, was falsely arrested by the FBI on a “terror charge” who paraded him in front of the press while being taken in handcuffs from his law office. Spanish authorities told the FBI this was not the man, but an overzealous FBI agent refused to listen. After being held fourteen days in federal prison, the FBI was forced to release him. A huge lawsuit was filed as they messed with the wrong barrister, having to pay him $2,000,000! But in May 2005 a guilty man was released because the FBI Automated Fingerprint System failed to recognize a wanted man. After his release he committed two more murders in Georgia. This has it all backwards!

 

We have all heard about the murders by federal agents at Waco and Ruby Ridge, as well as the false accusations against Richard Jewel by the FBI in the Atlanta bombing case. Then there were the FBI Crime Lab scandals. We need a reputable national law enforcement agency that can be trusted. Several hundred guns and laptop computers have turned up missing as well as a lead FBI agent pleading guilty to spying for the USSR over 15 years! In June 2004 the FBI wrongfully arrested an innocent Oregon attorney based on an FBI Lab mismatch of a fingerprint linked to the Madrid train bombing case, and badly bungled the arrest with rudeness and humiliation, and then issued an apology. What next? Who else will keep watch on a large enough number of corrupt local police?

 

That question should haunt us in the wake of the scandal involving the Oklahoma City Federal Building Bombing Case, where the FBI did not provide files and evidence as required by law. Now the most important case ever handled by the FBI has been mishandled so badly as to raise the question of a new trial for Terry Nichols, now serving a life term for his part in the bombing.  The ghost of J Edgar Hoover still haunts the FBI, and needs to be exorcized. With the expanded powers given the FBI for anti-terrorist investigations, churches and political activists might again be targeted as in the days of J Edgar Hoover.

 

 

Fairfax County Police, Virginia

Read the story from The Washington Post on 8 November 1999 about the wrongful arrest by Detective Ricky Savage of an innocent man, whom he harassed for weeks before getting an arrest warrant charging the man as a sex pervert. A real investigation turned up the facts that the videotape was not reviewed, the victim was not properly interviewed, and that the innocent suspect was not present when the crime was taking place. After being jailed, his house searched, his computer and family photographs seized, and $38K in legal fees, the charges were dismissed. A civil suit against Detective Savage was dismissed on technicalities with the help of County Police lawyers. The police chief did apologize to the man for his wrongful arrest and claimed they quickly moved to clear the record once they found out the real facts. Had they had a real detective this would not happened. Then Detective Ricky Savage mailed me a clipping of the news item about their “victory” in getting the civil suit against Detective Savage et al dismissed. In true craven coward fashion there was no name or return address on the envelope, but he sent a copy of my letter to me just to let me know he was were gloating. Colonel J Thomas Manger, Chief of Police, was not amused and returned a finding against Detective Savage after my call telling them what he did.  I would advise their officers not to bother me when I am in Fairfax County as I have saved the material as possible future evidence if I need to charge retaliation. Detective Savage now has a disciplinary action in his file on top of being famous from lots of publicity for the wrongful false arrest he carried out. .

 

FLOYD COUNTY POLICE & SHERIFF, Rome, Georgia

 

On 3 May 2004 a black teenage male was released from jail after having a ten year sentence overturned. Marcus Dixon was convicted by racist and heavy handed prosecutors for Child Molestation after having consensual sex with another teenage white girl who lied about her age. His conviction of statutory rape was upheld but he was released after serving a year, the maximum sentence for the misdemeanor statutory rape charge carries. The District Attorney has appealed and Marcus must report to probationary officers daily as well as obey other restrictions. He lost a scholarship to college upon this false conviction. It seems that innocent does not really mean free in Georgia, where Redneck Cops and Prosecutors still rule. Sheriff’s Detective Gary Conway called the release “ a real letdown,” and further stated “ I know Marcus Dixon is guilty.”  The majority of the community appears to hold opinions against the police on this one. That is refreshing given the dark side of this county that includes a history of KKK activity that heavily involved the county cops in the past.

 

FORT COLLINS, CO Police

 

An innocent man was ordered freed from prison after a judge tossed a bogus conviction obtained by no evidence at all by Detective Jim Broderick who hounded Tim Masters over twelve years before falsely arresting and railroading the man for a rape murder he could not have done. DNA has cleared the man and now District Attorney Larry Abrahamson stated the DNA evidence fails to clear the man, but has asked the charges be dismissed “in the interests of justice.” Thus charges could be brought again, in theory, but the DA is justing trying to save face for his buddies in the cop shop. Detective Jim Broderick known for his immense ego and stubbornness, refused to look at any other suspects and now is running like a craven coward on leave from the cop shop for one month on a “family emergency,” that just happened when the man was freed. This case has turned cops against each other within the department as well. Meanwhile the state exercises it’s judicial arrogance keeping the man out on bond until at least February 2008.

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida

 

In June 2009 a lawsuit is going forward for deputies raiding the wrong house, without any kind of search warrant. Deputies rushed in at 1:00 AM ordering the partents and kids down at gunpoint, leaving after three hours realizing they had the wrong place. The entry was illegal lacking a warrant. Two deputies claim the owner gave “permission,” which the owner denies. Internal Affairs cleared these jack boot thugs of any wrong doing.

 

In an incredible miscarriage of justice and hubris, police wrongfully arrested a man for refusing to pay child support DNA proves he doesn’t owe. DNA proves the man is not the father of a child, yet he spent the night in jail and had his pay garnished as well, all because the papers on the case were delivered late, in violation of state law, thus missing the date to appeal the order. The judge and police will not budge, and continue to rob this man’s paycheck in a patent case of Paternity Fraud. They intend to recover over $10,000 while his daughter needs sneakers they can’t afford. The woman who filed the false paternity claim has refused to show up for a court ordered paternity case, keeping that daughter away too. Yet the judge and cops march on with their “orders.” Lady justice is whore here, not this innocent man.

 

FRESNO, CA Police

 

In February 2009 this department made a bad arrest which was recorded on amateur video, show two cops beating a submissive subject. An investigation has been launched. The cops are on limited duty for the time being. A whitewash is expected.

 

Fresno Police arrested an eleven year old girl who defended herself against a gang of boys, by throwing a rock at them as they were throwing water balloons at her, and intimidating her. The girl was cuffed and taken to Juvenile Hall, being charged with felony assault. She had one thirty minute visit with her family during the five days in juvenile jail. She was on house arrest with a GPS ankle bracelet her court date 0n 3 August 2005, when a “deal” was reached to dismiss the charges and have her “talk” to her assailant. Her church raised money to get her a lawyer. The police have been charged with racism by this poor Spanish family who live in a depressed area. The police are not backing down and have refused to arrest the boys who started the situation. This whole incident has devastated this girl who is known to be a church going family oriented child, and a good student. Shame on these robo-cop, FIGMO type cops who lack social intelligence and cultural sensitivity.

 

FULTON COUNTY POLICE, Georgia

 

In March 2009 a jail guard Curtis Jerome Brown Jr. was arrested in the beating and cover up of an inmate death of a mentally ill man.

 

In April 2007 police were called the site of a “fight.” Upon arrival they shot two unarmed men, leaving one dead. There was no fight, and Ron Peltaway leaves a family behind, never having a single arrest. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the case, while the community is angry and a call for murder charges continues.

 

GALVESTON, Texas Police

 

This department has started an internal affairs investigation in October 2008 following the false arrest and beating numerous peaceful guets at a wedding. Police stormed the location and went wild according to numerous witness reports, that contradict the police report. Medical attention was denied and no one resisted police, but police peppered sprayed many innocent people.

 

GARY, Indiana

 

Police Chief Thomas Houston Deputy Chief Thomas Branson and Sgt Thomas Decantor were indicted by a federal grand jury in March 2008 for civil rights violations following a break in at the chiefs home. They are charged with assaulting inncent citizens, illegal entry and search of a hopme, then arresting and detaining them until releasing the innocent citizens three days later without charges.  One of the charges includes striking with a piece of wood and resulting in injuries. These cops are also accused of lying to FBI agents about the incident. They are being allowed to retain their weapons while out on bail. There is no indication they will be removed from duty. All three face long prison sentences if convicted.

 

GLENDALE POLICE, California

 

A jury awarded $1.1 million to a man falsely arrested and jailed for eight months, because detectives totally ignored evidence that would have immediately cleared the man. Finally detectives uncovered new evidence that cleared the innocent man. Detectives Arthur Frank and  Lt. Ian Grimes must also pay $150,000 to the man. There was no evidence to hold the man a badly flawed witness identification by incompetent detectives.

 

GOLDSBORO, NC Police

 

In 1987, the late Sgt Ron Melin railroaded an innocent man, forcing Dwain Allen Dale to spend 18 years in prison, freed by DNA on 28 August 2007, after DNA proved his innocence. Flawed hair ID techniques, no longer considered scientific, were used to convict a man who was 15 miles away, with no transportation. Also, pubic hair from another person was found on the rug. Then District Attorney Don Strickland ignored the evidence and put an innocent man away; he now says he is sorry; stinks to get caught doesn’t it? This begs the question, was this another Nifong railroad job? Dale, now 39, gets to start his life over, with this criminal record and the offer of $20K for each year he was falsely imprisoned. The new District Attorney, Branny Vickory, got the phone call on Monday that DNA had proven innocence, arranging to have Dale in court the next morning at 9:30 AM, from state prison, and freed shortly afterwards. The sheriff’s court room security guard boys, red faced and very quiet, stayed away from Dale, who appeared in civilian clothes, stepping aside as he was freed from the bench, instead of several weeks in prison waiting for paperwork, which has been the practice up until recently in North Carolina. The cops are now looking for the real rapist, so they say. It is probably good this poor dumb slob cop, “Crime Scene Investigator and Detective,” Sgt Ron Melvin, is dead, as the ignominy would surely have run him out of town. Even the former DA remarked this guy was not the most intelligent man around. Was Sgt Ron Melvin a “saved Baptist,” too, more North Carolina religious hypocrisy.

 

GOOSE CREEK POLICE, South Carolina

 

Millions of people saw tapes on national TV showing the Gestapo style raid on the local high school that included rounding up 107 innocent students. The pretext was searching for drugs, and dogs were used to intimidate students. Most of the students detained and cuffed were minority students. No drugs were found and the ACLU brought a massive lawsuit against the Board of Education and The Goose Creek Police, with large damages awarded. The school principal was forced to resign as a result. My reaction to seeing the tapes was that these were the kind of tactics used by KKK Deputy Sheriff’s in the old south against civil rights workers and blacks..

 

GREENSBORO POLICE, NC 

 

In March 2009 the federal authorities are investigating this department on charges of targeting black cops with a special unit set up for this purpose.

 

In February 2009 Officer Scott Sanders is on trial fotr illegally accessing a government computer, and trying to wrongfully label to fellow cops as “dirty.”

 

In February 2008 a story broke in The Greensboro Daily News, leaked to black clergy. After a request from the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission, looking into the notorious 1979 shoot out between the Klan and Nazi’s, it is reported that Sgt. Craig McMinn ordered over 50 boxes of records destroyed. There were no back up sources. I have interviewed EMS staff who were able to arrive on scene within three minutes, only to find no Greensboro cops arriving for at least 15 minutes. Yet the Guilford County Sheriff had escorted this march to the city line, only to have no presence by city police. A current active duty cop leaked this information to the clergy. More charges of racism and cover up have emerged.

 

In February 2008 Officer Mitchell Ryan Alston was charged with illegally having blue lights on his personal vehicle, suspended without pay. Why would he need these? Is he engaging in some sort of illegal conduct off duty?? He faces a fine and hearing which could give him a reprimand, but why not terminate this law breaker.

 

In December 2007 three cops were suspended, accused of sexual assault of a fellow officer. Sgt A. S. Wallace, officers J. O. LeGrand and C. S. Stevens of The Tactical Special Enforcement Team are accused of offering another cop a ride, and raping her.

 

This department has a long history, and we receive many complaints about racist treatment, intimidation, false arrests and beatings. This department once brought international disgrace in 1981 when there was a gun fight between radical racist KKK types marching in Greensboro. It took 15 minutes for the cops to reach the scene, while EMS crews arrived in two minutes. Police had provided no security for the march, even though The Guilford County Sheriff had, up to the city line. There was a massive investigation by the FBI and SBI, and many cops lost their jobs. The department was reported to have been cleaned up afterwards, but it looks like they have backslid to their old ways.

 

GRETAN PARISH POLICE, Louisiana

 

These deputies used shotguns to force people attempting to flee New Orleans during hurricane Katrina to turn around and cross back over the bridge when these domestic refugees had no food, water, medicine or shelter. The Parish claims it had evacuated their own people, and were securing the property of it’s own citizens. There was no attempt to move these refugees to another area beyond the town.  Some of the people were in wheelchairs. Is it a coincidence the refugees were mostly minorities? More Louisiana style justice that is a thinly veiled copy of the days of the KKK.

 

HALIFAX REGIONAL POLICE, Nova Scotia

 

Officers Phillip Mackenzie, Tara Doiron and Brenda Harvey were slammed by a judge for over-stepping their bounds of authority when the forcibly removed a 17 year old girl from her own bed. The woman was aquitted of all charges, and plans a complaint and lawsuit for this false arrest. The judge further stated the cops escalated the situation by their conduct.

 

HAMPDEN COUNTY SHERIFF, Ludlow Massachusetts

 

In December 2006 three former jail guards were charged with having sex with female inmates after being indicted by a grand jury. The Deputy Jail Guards charged are Stanford Norman, William Muldrow and Brian K. Murphy. Also under investigation is Jail Guard Arial Reyes. The High Sheriff, Michael Ashe stood red faced and silent  in the conference as Massachusetts State Police Lt. Peter Higgins and Hampden County DA William M. Bennett spoke.

 

I have heard allegations about the past practices by Sheriff Michael Ashe that included deputies badges in exchange for campaign contributions. Controversy is no stranger to this band of thugs. Fortunately they no longer have police powers and only serve on the outside as Traffic Control Security Guards on construction jobs.

 

See the Kim Messinger case under Longmeadow Police for the beating a of a falsely arrested woman by Sheriiff’s Courtroom Jail Guards. That guard beat the charges on a technicality.

 

HANCOCK COUNTY SHERIFF, West Virginia

 

In April 2007 Deputy Mark Smith, a veteran deputy, was arrested and charged with abduction and rape of a woman while on duty. He is free on bail while awaiting trial, on paid leave. Sheriff Mike White intends to fire the deputy. Another county DA and the West Virginia State Police handled the case to avoid conflict of interest.

 

HARRISBURG PA Police

 

In July 2008 an internal investigation was opened following the beating in a holding cell by rogue cops. The man was so bloodied the judge took a second look at the paperwork, as the report made no mention of resisting arrest. Cops punched, choked, stomped and kicked him in the cell. The arrest was for running a red light. Officer Justin R Wells was identified as one of the rogue cops by Chief Charles Kellar.

 

This department has a above average number of complaints with the ACLU. It has a history of racism, false arrest and beatings.

 

 

HARTFORD POLICE, Connecticut    THE SCUM OF THE EARTH! KILLER COPS www.hpdcomradery.com

 

On 19 December 2008 another innocent walked free after 20 years in prison, freed by DNA. Racist cops and State’s Attorneys cooked up a “theory” that got this man 20 years even though the FBI Technician testified at his first trial that the DNA didn’t match. This innocent man was taken back to the lock up in one last act of judicial arrogance, then released afterwards. The final court date might be 5 February 2009 when the state will most likely have to drop the charges and release him from a written promise to appear. The state says the prosecutors did no wrong, etc. The Connecticut Innocence Project is reviewing 120 other cases as of December 2008. The Hartford Police or court have not even given apologies either, as talk turns towards damage lawsuits.

 

In August 2007 $800 turned up “missing” from street two drug busts, by the time the suspects were at the police station for booking. This evidence could break two cases. Also Hartford Police falsely arrested a homeless man when he was talking with another man about a gun, on a city bus. Once they grabbed him and found no gun, they covered their actions with a breach of peace charge. Once released, it was discovered that his two week supply of narcotic medication had “gone missing,” just having been picked up at a drug store legally. Cops in two divisions are “under investigation,” do I see another truckload of Whitewash backing up the Jennings Road Station? Police Chief  Daryl K. Roberts said “misconduct will not be tolerated.” Ha!

 

In July 2007 Hartford Police were cited by a federal judge for dragging their feet on citizen complaints against officers. There was yet no computerized system in place to track complaints and problem officers.

 

In May 2007 off duty Officer Mathew Secore was arrested, charged with assault on the nephew of Hartford Mayor Eddie A Perez in a police holding cell. Secore has admitted to beating a man accused of beating up his own brother. A Sergeant and another cop were also disciplined for allowing the beating . Secore has gotten a special form of “accelerated Rehabilitation,” which means the charges will be dropped in one year if he stays out of trouble. A civilian would have gotten at least one year in prison; it pays to be a cop. The only “punishment” he will get will come from the department, he was on desk duty with pay at last report. Why isn’t this criminal in prison. The lawyer used the excuse of the moment, calling Secore a “gentle giant,” who just lost his temper.

 

In April 2007 headlines in The Hartford Courant screamed in response to the results of an audit over the past year of department property. The agency can’t account for some of it’s 900 guns, rifles, badges, computers and other items. This follows the evidence room scandal where people have charged Hartford Police with theft of property taken during questionable arrests.. Summer is coming too and this begs the question if the Ct State Police will have to come in and take over again, to clean up the city.

 

In December officers Lt. Brian Foley, former commander of Internal Affairs, and Mathew Rooney were involved in an altercation at the Rock Cafè in Rocky Hill. Witnesses state a partially clad Lt Brian Foley was dancing on a table when it collapsed. A heated arguement ensued and Rocky Hill Police were called. A New Haven officer in the club has come forward as a witness against these two cops. Rocky Hill Police detained these men in a car as they tried to leave the scene. Current HPD Chief Daryl Roberts says an internal investigation is underway. The details of the probe only emerged after officer Roberts initiated an internal probe. Foley is currently head of the juvenile division.

 

The Hartford Police even lack respect for a child’s dog.  In December 2006 officer John O’Hare shot a St Bernard dog trying to protect a twelve year old child, as the cops entered a back yard without permission or announcing themselves. The cops claim to have been investigating complaints about “guns,” which were never found. The cops further claim the dog lunged at them. This all happened a few days before Christmas. The HPD claims to be investigating. How about trespassing and animal cruelty charges for officer John O’Hare?

 

In October 2004, two former officers were arrested for falsifying warrants and making false arrests. Former Sgt Franco

Sanzo and Detective Nathaniel Ortiz were arrested. In December 2006 retired Detective Sgt. Franco Sanzo got two

years “accelerated rehabilitation, which  means in two years his record will be erased. Had he been a Massachusetts cop,

the minimum sentence would be five years. These arrests have started a rush of activity by area defense lawyers

to overturncases. The other detective, suspended officer Nanthaniel Oritz, refused to plea down.

 

In July 2006 a lawsuit was filed over the brutal beatings and false arrests of two men in July 2004 at the Meadows Music Theatre. The felony charges of inciting a riot and assault on an officer were all dropped to non-criminal fines. Charged are former Chief Patrick J Harnett, Detective Gustavo Rodriguez, Sgt Shawn St John, Officer Peter Lynch and Officer Brian Salkeld. A radio station employee lost an eye from misdirected ammunition and is also bringing suit. Hundreds of arrests were made with many charges being dropped for lack of evidence and poor police conduct. Police over-reacted with the force of a goon squad to a few troublemakers getting out of hand at previous concerts. This department is on the same level as New Orleans Police and just can’t sink any lower.

 

On the front page of the Hartford Courant, dated 12 January 2006, the arrest of Detective Alfred “Nick” Henderson was revealed. Several thousand dollars of “buy money” was discovered missing under improper circumstances, with forged signatures involving 43 withdrawls. As a result a large number of more HPD cases are likely going to be challenged by defense attorneys on the basis of police corruption. Henderson has posted $50,000 bond, and is on suspension. Hartford Police are well known for stealing expensive items of clothing, jewelry and money from people they stop such as perceived gangbangers. Nothing is done with the complaints.

 

In June 2006 a new trial was ordered for James Calvin Tillman who has served 18 years in CT State Prison for a rape DNA proves he did not commit. Calvin, a homeless black man, has hauled out of a shelter due to a faulted photo line up, and falsely arrested by Hartford Police, long known for their racism. He was free on bail until the (original) prosecutor, Edward Narus, was forced to drop all charges, not saying a word until the last minute. Narus did not apologize to their victim and neither did Hartford Police. We have received reports that indicate Narus forces plea bargains on innocent people and is racist. Hartford Police have assigned a detective to try find the real rapist. In the meantime Hartford Police can’t stop the shootings and another double killing. The CT State Police have stepped in again to regain some control of the streets.

 

In May 2005 Hartford Police shot and killed without justification an 18 year old black man for “failing to obey police commands,” when they wanted to question two men in a car on a tip for weapons. No weapon was ever found and the car was not stolen. The men might not have been breaking the law although Robert Lawlor tried to claim they tried to run him over and he thought he saw a gun! Lawlor was thrown off a federal task forces years ago and demoted from detective so you go figure. Police officer Robert Lawlor is the shooter according to news sources. An investigation has concluded and the family has vowed the cop “ will not get away with this.” This incident brings to light the real culture of the Hartford Police. The driver of the car was also shot in the chest by this rogue cop. We are told by our local contacts this officer has quite a history. Lets hope this cop goes to prison for his crime. Lawlor was arrested for this death and attempted murder as of June 2006, and trying to raise money for his defense. In a recent court appearance as a criminal defendant Lawlor was confronted by the dead man’s brother and father in a manner so ugly it took a lot of Hartford and State Police as well as court marshals to prevent a riot. The end result was the cop walked.

 

On the front page of the Hartford Courant dated 9 January 2005, Hartford Police are under fire for identifying Jamie Hoy Jr. as the suspect in a brutal assault on a severely handicapped girl, who lost her arm as a result of the attack. The problem is Mr. Hoy was deported quite some time ago, and was contacted in Columbia, where he has been since being deported from Canada. But Hartford still insisted they have it right, and were forced to “check into it.” The chief admits they “are not infallible.” A real investigation revealed that the mother, Yajaira Rodriguez, lied about the fact her current boyfriend Jose Graciani assaulted the girl. Hartford Police Detective Lt. James Bernier is being forced to go to court to seek the dismissal of the false charges against Mr. Hoy, but not willingly. Had Mr. Hoy not been in Columbia, there is little doubt he would have been just another false arrest victim of the Hartford Police meat grinder, and served a long sentence as an actual innocent. What faux pas will this disgraced “F Troop” commit next? How many innocent people has this Gestapo unit destroyed?

 

In December 2005 the results of an investigation revealed that three Hartford officers had made false arrests as part of a towing company dispute. Employees of Cross Country Auto were falsely arrested in 2003 and 2004 by officers Marcel Washington, Anthony Martinez, and Michael Velazquez. The charges were dismissed in court as police have no authority over civil cases involving private towing contracts on private property. It was ruled the Hartford Police had overstepped their bounds of authority in victimizing these innocent tow truck operators by kidnapping and falsely arresting these employees without authority. In one case they forced a company employee to open the gates to the tow lot and allow the owner to drive his car away. The motives behind this abuse of authority appear to have been personal on the part of the officers. There is a lawsuit in progress with the individuals looking at more lawsuits as well.

 

Detective Nathaniel Ortiz made the record number of drug busts in Hartford, and now has opened up  a potential for a

huge number of overturns and lawsuits for false arrest and false imprisonment. The screwed up when they submitted a

false statement to get a warrant, stating Michael Woodard was observed selling drugs in front of his home. Woodard was

in jail at the time. The parents charged cops with searching without probable cause as well as the theft of personal

property from the home. The cops planted a stolen gun and some drugs as well. A judge dismissed all of the charges.

This case appears to be the tip of the iceberg.

This department was under investigation by a joint federal and state task force, for having sex with prostitutes, forcing them to pose nude for photographs, and then letting them go for the night. They are have brought a "Zippergate Scandal" right here to Hartford; they have not learned a thing from Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski! That is only the tip of the iceberg from my research. Recently a federal investigation was conducted for the wrongful arrest of a gang member for murder, with the "suspect" being held after the correct suspect was identified. This is another bunch of cops one is well advised to stay away from. Check out the old articles in the Hartford Courant about past incidents as well, such as Hartford officers charged with armed robbery and sexual assault. Some Hartford officers have been under investigation for murder! One officer pled guilty to sexual assault for handcuffing a woman, taking her to a construction site, and raping her. There have been seven complaints of sexual assault against former and present Hartford Police officers Another officers was convicted on charges of filing a false report related to a chase into Bloomfield, where the suspect was brutally beaten on Bloomfield Police camera, after surrendering. Another officer was cleared for shooting a fourteen-year-old black male in the back. This was been a typical case of slow process if a cop is involved, with the cop getting off. Had a citizen pulled the trigger, an instant arrest would have been made. At this point seven former Hartford officers have been convicted of sexual offenses.

 

Things are so bad in Hartford that The Connecticut State Police have been brought in several times to help an incompetent, corrupt, and impotent police force stop rampant gang activity in the city. Had some cops not been in collusion with the gang bangers, perhaps things would not have gotten this out of hand. Major news stories document how Hartford Police routinely beat and mistreat innocent citizens, while the city does nothing to stop it

 

In April of 2004 Officers Maurice Washington and Bryant Moore false arrested a man after finding and turning in a sawed off shotgun to the police. The Hartford Police went to the man’s house in Bloomfield and arrested the man when he refused permission to search his home. An illegal search was made, and while transporting this innocent man to jail at the Hartford Police lockup, the officers engaged in a high speed chase unrelated to this false arrest, causing the innocent victim of police criminal conduct to be thrown around in the back and injured. Upon arrival at HPD, a Sergeant order the release when he realized the man should never have been arrested in the first place. The officers face discipline but have not been suspended or arrested as should be the case. Lawsuits are in the works. See also Bloomfield Police for failing to protect this man in their town against criminal actions by Hartford Police. The charges were dropped the next day by an embarrassed police department.

 

In August 2004 a million dollar lawsuit was filed against Hartford Officers Kent Lee and Richard Holton as well as Manchester Police for false arrest, harassment and questioning their minor children without consent as well as damage to their property. The charges were dismissed the next day in court, but the federal suit charged a loss of reputation and public humiliation. In September 2006 the cops beat the lawsuit by claiming technicalities, but still face claims for humiliation. These cops will go to any end to cover their brazen misconduct.

 

This is one department that is beyond being out of control. The staff lack training, discipline, character, oversight or any sense of social responsibility. Run away from these types if you can, and refuse to do any business with these people you can. Your life and freedom is in grave danger by any contact with the Hartford Police Department. Get a state trooper!

 

 

HARVEY POLICE, IL

 

In December 2008 the FBI busted 17 cops in this department, as well as The Cook County Sheriffs Department and one Chicago cop for providing security to protect drug dealers. The FBI set up a sting operation in a storefront posing as a business, and the cops came to pay the homage. Then the police corruption grew. Two of the cops are on duty in Afghanistan and will be returned as prisoners to face charges.

 

HOMER, LA

 

Homer Police shot an unarmed 73 year old black man to death, in his yard at a family barbeque. The man was in the last few months of his life, suffering from throat cancer. The cops are accused of planting a gun to frame the man, in an attempt to cover racial profiling. The state and FBI are investigating. The victim had only gotten out of his chair to talk to the cops.
