    California attorney general to investigate LAPD gang-framing scandal

    The California Department of Justice announced Monday it will conduct its own investigation of the Los Angeles Police Department’s use of a statewide database of alleged gang members

    after allegations that officers falsified records to enter people in it.

    Becerra said that someone’s erroneous placement in the database could

    lead to them being subjected to unwarranted scrutiny by law enforcement agencies.

    “Right now, the LAPD’s inputs are under the microscope,” said Becerra.


    The LAPD previously announced it was investigating up to 20 officers in its inquiry of officers that

    allegedly fabricated information from field interviews to enter people into CalGang.

    Meet the 'Mafia' That Plunged the Border Patrol Into Crisis

    Deputy Chief Scott Luck ... in the crystal-chandeliered ballroom of the Trump National Golf Club, to celebrate his retirement after 33 years in the U.S. Border Patrol.


    The party was adorned with a who’s who in Border Patrol leadership, past and present.

    Chief Carla Provost

    Andrea Zortman

    A full contingent of retired former chiefs-turned-consultants were on hand, too, including

    David Aguilar, 64, who’d headed the Border Patrol as well as its parent, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and

    Michael Fisher, 55, who’d succeeded Aguilar as Border Patrol chief.

    Rowdy Adams, 59, another retired senior-level CBP official, also attended the celebration.

    It wasn’t just the end of Luck’s career, it was the end of an era at the agency — their era.

    The group, called
    “the Douglas mafia”

    by some agents, began climbing the ranks together after the 9/11 attacks as the Border Patrol nearly tripled in size and budget.

    they’d had a hand in shaping virtually every aspect of the agency’s leadership and culture.

    The group had overseen or witnessed crises in the past —

    including lawsuits over excessive use of force and

    revelations of corruption within the patrol’s own ranks.

    catalyzed by ever-harsher Trump administration policies, had thrust the insular agency into unprecedented turmoil.

    A series of high-profile scandals had focused scalding attention on the agency:

    Children died in its custody.

    Reporters uncovered a racist, misogynist private Facebook page

    with some 9,500 current and former Border Patrol members,

    Uncle Sam takes $181,500 from trucker at Tampa airport and refuses to give it back

    Can you imagine airport authorities seizing $181,500 from you, deeming it illegally acquired, and refusing to return it?

    sue the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection over money taken from the company in September at Tampa International Airport,

    The Tampa-based company reportedly sent Boris Nulman, one of its employees, on a trip to Cleveland with $191,500 in a carry-on bag to buy four big rigs, and

    when TSA agents pulled Nulman aside for a bag inspection, he was only allowed to take $10,000,

    Nulman was reportedly given a receipt for the confiscated $181,500, but now federal authorities are claiming that they only took $159,950

    “There is nothing dirty about this. We have evidence to show we took this out of our business account. Something is fishy here.”

    After the company turned in a verified claim form in an attempt to retrieve the seized funds,

    a Customs and Border Protection representative described the $159,950 as

    derived from “specified unlawful activity” and

    didn't address the $21,550.

    Video shows 26-year-old man who died of sepsis and pneumonia in jail pleading for help for hours

    In October 2015, 26-year-old Terral Ellis Jr. turned himself into Ottawa County officials on an outstanding DUI warrant he had. Six days later he was dead from
    sepsis and pneumonia.

    His family
    filed a lawsuit against

    the sheriff of the county,

    the former jailers, and

    nurse

    who were there during the last week of Ellis Jr.’s life, and allegedly did not heed his calls for help just hours before he was found unresponsive in his cell.

    According to his family, Ellis went into jail healthy.

    a nurse—identified as former jail nurse
    Theresa Horn—

    responding to his pleas by telling him that the EMTs found nothing wrong with him and that

    she was “sick and tired of ing dealing with your ass.

    Ain’t a damn thing wrong with you.”

    Heartbreaking Video Shows Officer Arresting Crying 6-Year-Old Girl at School Using Zip Ties

    Dennis Turner, one of the officers involved in the arrest, was fired by the Orlando Police Department after it was revealed that he also arrested another six-year-old from the school on the same day.

    Meralyn Kirkland, grandmother of Rolle, said the 6-year-old has a sleep disorder which caused her to act out, News 6 reports. She explained that the family was working on solutions and that she was disturbed by the way the incident was handled.

    "No 6-year-old child should be able to tell somebody that they had handcuffs on them and they were riding in the back of a police car and taken to a juvenile center to be fingerprinted, mug shot," Kirkland told reporters.

    Watch the bodycam footage of the shocking arrest below.

    Google tracked his bike ride past a burglarized home. That made him a suspect.

    "I was using an app to see how many miles I rode my bike and now it was putting me at the scene of the crime," the man said.



    the burglary of an elderly woman’s home

    10 months earlier.

    The warrants, which have increased dramatically in the past two years,

    can help police find potential suspects when they have no leads.

    They also scoop up data from people who have nothing to do with the crime,

    often without their knowing ─

    which Google itself has described as
    “a significant incursion on privacy.”

    Google geofence warrants have been used by policeagenciesaroundthe country, including the FBI.

    Google said in a court filing last year that

    the requests from state and federal law enforcement authorities were increasing rapidly:

    by more than 1,500 percent from 2017 to 2018, and by 500 percent from 2018 to 2019.

    Manley exonerates Mike Ramos' shooter in report to Ken Paxton filled with false statements

    Ramos was standing beside his car with his hands up talking to the officers

    when a rookie three months out of the academy fired on him with a shotgun loaded with a bean bag round

    while bystanders screamed "don't shoot."

    Ramos got into his car and drove away from officers down a dead end to keep from being killed.

    It didn't work.

    Another officer, who just ten months before had killed a university professor suffering from a mental health crisis in another dubious shooting, shot Ramos multiple times with a rifle.


    how does Chief Manley describe the episode in the death in custody report?

    Asked what were the reasons for the contact, Manley wrote "Alcohol/drug offense."

    No drugs or alcohol were found at the scene, so this is pure victim blaming which frankly is reprehensible.

    Whatever the 911 caller said,

    Ramos had committed no offense when officers surrounded him with guns drawn and began screaming at him.

    Why is the chief still pretending otherwise?


    Another question asked, "At any time during the incident and/or entry into the law enforcement facility, did the decedent display or use a weapon?"

    Manley replied, "Unknown."

    Again, this is a flat-out lie.

    Manley admitted at a press conference that Ramos had no weapon, which is also quite clear from the bystander video.



    Next, the form asked, "At any time during the incident and/or entry into the law enforcement facility did the decedent attempt to injure others?"

    Once again, Manley simply lied, declaring "Unknown."

    This is, in fact, known.

    Ramos attempted to injure no one, and was driving away from officers when he was shot.

    The only "unknown" here is what the the chief is thinking by answering these questions in such a disingenuous way.


    Similarly, Manley declared it is "unknown" whether Ramos assaulted a police officer during this incident.

    From the video, clearly he didn't, and

    if he had, it would have been listed at the top of the report as the most serious charge against him.

    Most State Police troopers implicated in overtime fraud scandal will keep their jobs

    Massachusetts State Police Colonel Christopher S. Mason announced in January that the department would move to fire 22 troopers that had committed overtime fraud, and were found to have

    collected thousands of dollars in pay for hours they never worked.

    But this week the department revealed that most of the troopers implicated — but never criminally charged in a widespread payroll scandal — will get to keep their jobs after all.


    The department announced Thursday that 15 troopers will be suspended for various lengths of time and ordered to pay res ution.

    One trooper has been fired, and

    the department intends to fire five more once their disciplinary cases come to a close.

    Not Enough Training

    a patchwork of training requirements that vary state by state.

    Minimums can range from seven months of basic training in Maryland to no months of required basic training in Hawaii.

    You can become a cop in six months and

    don’t have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist.

    Companies Are Selling Cops Access To Personal Data Harvested From Malicious Hacking And Data Breaches

    Hackers break into websites, steal information, and then publish that data all the time, with other hackers or scammers then using it for their own ends. But breached data now has another customer: law enforcement.
    Some companies are selling government agencies access to data stolen from websites in the hope that it can generate investigative leads, with the data including passwords, email addresses, IP addresses, and more.

    one-stop shopping for a wealth of personal data -- including login info and passwords -- that agencies can't find anywhere else. SpyCloud says

    it's "empowering" investigators by giving them data they can "use against criminals."

    Using a third party like SpyCloud allows law enforcement to bypass judicial review of warrants and subpoenas,

    which are normally used to obtain information directly from relevant companies once investigators have the reasonable su ion needed to move ahead with this step.

    This new method of collecting information ignores all of that to give investigators a stock pond for fishing expeditions.

    This may streamline things for investigators,

    but law enforcement isn't supposed to be easy.

    It's supposed to be reined in by checks and balances.

    SpyCloud says the with all of that,

    allowing agencies to get everything in one place without having to check with a judge first.

    The Michigan Supreme Court Is Reviewing the Case of a Teenager Incarcerated After Not Doing Online Schoolwork During the Pandemic

    Attorneys for a 15-year-old sent to juvenile detention for not doing her schoolwork argued

    the teenager is not a threat to the community,

    contrary to a judge’s ruling.


    Now Michigan’s Supreme Court is stepping in.

    has been in detention since mid-May after a judge determined she

    violated her probation by not doing her online schoolwork during the pandemic.

    The girl, Grace*, was a high school sop re in Birmingham Public Schools when she was

    charged with assault and theft last year.

    She was placed on probation in mid-April and, among other requirements, was to complete her schoolwork.

    Grace, who has ADHD and receives special education services,

    struggled with the transition to online learning and fell behind.


    was “detained based on incomplete schoolwork, which hardly presents a risk of harm to either the community,” or herself.

    “The record is entirely devoid of facts to support the actual threat of harm presented by (Grace),”

    “The suggestion that (Grace) is so dangerous she needs to be detained and separated from her mother for … months

    is not supported by the evidence available.

    If there is additional information that has not been disclosed, I look forward to reviewing that do entation,”

    https://www.propublica.org/article/t..._content=river

    "Grace" is, of course, black

    Methuen’s police chief is one of the highest paid in the country — and he says he deserves more




    METHUEN — This community on the New Hampshire border may be smaller than 772 other American cities, but the salary of police Chief Joseph Solomon is anything but small.

    His salary of $326,707 in 2019 made Solomon one of the highest-paid police chiefs in the nation,

    paid more than his counterparts in Boston, New York, Chicago, and many other major urban areas.

    Methuen had one murder last year.

    He is refusing to take 10 unpaid furlough days to help the cash-strapped city work down a $7 million shortfall.

    He is the only department head to refuse the request from

    the city’s mayor, Neil Perry, who recently cut his own pay from $80,000 to $68,000 a year.

    Under Solomon’s unusual and complex five-year contract —

    which gives him a myriad of perks and a guarantee he is paid at least 2.6 times more than any patrol officer

    the chief believes Methuen has underpaid him by at least $50,000 a year since 2018.

    'Our kids almost lose their lives to go to a football game':

    Georgia cops fire into car of children

    police in the area fired into a car with children inside of it after earlier suspecting the car’s driver of a traffic violation.

    all five children were riding in a vehicle together when older teens in the vehicle noticed a police car tailing them with no lights on and got scared.

    The teens told the younger children to get out of the car, and police ended up shooting at the remaining children, Goodman said.

    The children were trying to return home to go to a football tournament two of the children were playing in Saturday in Jacksonville,
