NJ police release body-cam video of GOP lawmaker calling them ‘f*cking assh*les’ during DWI bust

The first female Latina Republican in the New Jersey Assembly was captured by police-body cam footage going on a profanity-laced rant during a DWI arrest in April.

The body-cam footage GOP Assemblywoman Maria Rodriguez-Gregg was obtained by The Trentonian through a public records request and documents a combative exchange.

Police were responding when Rodriguez-Gregg was rear-ended by another driver.

“It’s 3 in the morning and they’re probably drinking,” she suggested. “Make them do a breathalyzer.”

“I don’t need this kind of sh*t from these assh*les who can’t drive,” she tells the police.

Of course, she name-dropped her political office.

“I got rear-ended and you guys are treating me like I’m the f**king a**hole,” Rodriguez-Gregg says.

Not long after, she continues, “I am a sitting assemblywoman. I am not an assh*le.”

Police then began a search.

Oklahoma cops fatally shoot man armed only with a stick — after witnesses warned he couldn’t hear

Police in Oklahoma City on Tuesday night fatally shot a suspect who was armed only with a stick — and witnesses claim that they tried to warn the officers that the man could not hear their commands because he was deaf.

Local news station KOCO reports that Oklahoma City police officers were investigating a hit-and-run accident when they encountered a car that matched the description witnesses gave about the vehicle involved in the incident.

Upon approaching the vehicle, they found a man walking around outside of it carrying a stick. One officer deployed a Taser on the man, while another officer fired his gun, fatally killing the suspect.

According to local news station News9, witnesses tried telling officers that the suspect, whose name has not been publicly released yet, was deaf — and thus could not hear them. Police, however, say they have yet to confirm whether the suspect was actually hearing impaired.

If he wasn't deaf before, he sure can't hear now.

Epileptic man claims cops assaulted him when he had a seizure, body cam proves it

Officers who arrived at the scene waited with Dean until paramedics loaded him into an ambulance. But the officers were again called to the scene when Dean loosened his restraints and tried to leave the ambulance, according to the complaint.

"The officer was standing with the double doors open, and the person (Dean) then gets up, stands up, completely unbelts himself, walks to the back of the ambulance, and assaults the officer," former Glassboro Police Chief Alex Fanfarillo told NJ Advance Media in 2015. "That's when he was taken to the ground, subdued and charged, ultimately."

The video shows three more officers, besides the two who responded to him leaving the ambulance, "immediately began to join the assault on Dean," according to the suit.

Alabama cops couldn’t tell two black men apart — now wrongfully charged Army reservist is going broke

A black army reservist in Alabama was wrongfully arrested and charged because he happened to bear a resemblance to a burglary suspect — and now he’s going broke simply trying to clear his name.

Local news station WHNT reports that US Army reservist Steven McDowell “is in a time crunch to afford the expungement process fees so his once-clean record is not permanently stained with charges for crimes he never committed.”

Police originally arrested and charged McDowell with two burglaries based on security camera footage that revealed a nearby burglar was a black man whose facial features were somewhat similar to McDowell’s. However, McDowell’s mother pointed out to officers some key differences between her son and the man in the footage, including a chicken pox scar that was not present on the burglar’s face, as well as differences in the two men’s nose structure and the space between their eyes.

However, the station now reports that McDowell is running out of money paying the fees that come with trying to get the burglary charges expunged from his record.

McDowell must pay a total of $600 to get the two felony burglary charges dropped from his record, as well as $3,500 to pay off the bond that initially got him out of jail.

“It’s too much money,” McDowell said. “It’s too much money, it’s a lot.”

Shocking footage shows moment police shot black man in the back as he fled

Footage has emerged that shows the moment a black man was shot in the back as he attempted to flee from police in Salt Lake City, in what has been described by a civil rights activist as a “brutal execution.”

The video, which is one of three body camera videos taken at the scene, shows officers asking Patrick Harmon to remove his backpack, with Harmon attempting to flee from police before they fired several shots at his back.

American civil rights activist Shaun King has shared a link to the footage, writing in a post on social media: “The brutal police execution of ‪ #PatrickHarmon in Salt Lake City, Utah.”

Harmon, 50, was stopped by police in Utah on August 13 at around 10.20 p.m. for cycling without a light, in an incident that his family and civil rights activists believe was evidence of racial profiling.

The District Attorney’s office had previously said Harmon threatened officers with a knife as he fled, with officials also claiming officers were in fear of their lives. The footage, which was shared by local media, does not show the moment Harmon allegedly threatened the officers.

Harmon’s niece, Alisha Shaw, told The Guardian after she saw the footage. “They just murdered him flat out,” she said.

“They are lying. There is no way they were threatened by anything. He was only trying to get away,” she added.

A case of excess donuts no doubt.

Louisiana sheriff rages against releasing ‘good’ prisoners because ‘we use them to wash cars’

Steve Prattor, the Sheriff of Caddo Parish in Louisiana, is not a fan of his state’s new criminal justice reforms that will free many prisoners convicted of nonviolent offenses earlier than they had been scheduled to be released.

In a press conference held this week, Prattor said that keeping some of the “good” prisoners in jail was necessary for the prisons to keep functioning because they could provide needed labor that you couldn’t get out of more violent and dangerous prisoners.

“The [prisoners] that you can work, the ones that can pick up trash, the work release programs — but guess what? Those are the ones that they’re releasing!” Prattor fumed in his attack against criminal justice reforms. “In addition to the bad ones… they’re releasing some good ones that we use every day to wash cars, to change the oil in our cars, to cook in the kitchen… well, they’re going to let them out!”

According to The Advocate, the state’s criminal justice reforms are aiming to reduce its total prison population by 10 percent by lowering the threshold for parole eligibility for nonviolent offenders.

What an asshole!

Oklahoma cop busted for racist Facebook threat against NFL players

part-time police officer in Oklahoma will spared punishment and instead receive “social media counseling” after threatening protesting NFL players on Facebook.

According to News on 6, Verdigris police officer Brandon Jarvis launched a racist attack on professional football players who have protested anti-black police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem.

Writing on Facebook, Jarvis threatened, “Precisely why I don’t watch NFL bunch of f*ckin overpaid greasy headed moon crickets expecting everything for nothing!! It would make my day to b*tch slap the Jerry juice outta everyone of them’s hair!! F*ck em!! #sorrynotf*ckinsorry”


Alerted to the post, which Jarvis wrote when commenting on hockey players standing for the anthem, Police Chief Jack Shackleford said that the officer would not be suspended.

According to Shackleford, Jarvis will instead receive “some personal counseling by me in the use of social media.”

"Moon Cricket"???

3 men arrested for attempted homicide after Richard Spencer’s speech gave Nazi salute before shooting at protestors

Yee Haw, the police being truly helpful!

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gainsville-300x161.png

Police in Gainesville, Florida on Thursday arrested three white men in connection to a shooting that took place following a speech by avowed white supremacist Richard Spencer.

Tyler Tenbrink, William Fears and Colton Fears—two of whom police say have known ties to extremist organizations—are being held in the Alachua County Jail on charges of attempted homicide after allegedly firing on another group of people during a violent encounter shortly after Spencer’s speech.

According to police, the trio argued with and threatened a group of protestors demonstrating against Spencer, who was addressing a small crowd at the University of Florida Phillips Center for Performing Arts.

The men reportedly began threatening to “f*cking kill” and “shoot” the protestors, before eventually offering the Nazi salute and shouting “Hail Hitler.” Police say Tenbrink, a convicted felon, fired the shot. One of the protestors managed to write down the license plate of the silver Jeep the three men were riding in.

I surprised that the police didn't just shoot them, being armed and dangerous and all. BUt they are white, so...

Yeah, the circumstances of the arrest have nothing to do with it. After all to you isn't there no difference between those men and your average police officer?

The DEA says it came under fire during a deadly drug raid — its own video suggests otherwise

The Drug Enforcement Administration has for five years steadfastly defended the behavior of its agents in a late-night drug seizure carried out with Honduran forces on the remote Mosquito Coast, a mission that resulted in the deaths of four Honduran civilians.

In the DEA’s view, the dead — one man, two women and a 14-year-old boy — were among those on a boat that shot at a canoe carrying a joint DEA-Honduran anti-drug team. The DEA said it had evidence in the form of night-vision video taken from a surveillance plane showing an “exchange of gunfire” between the two vessels after the larger boat collided with the canoe carrying the agents.

Now, for the first time, the three-hour video has been released to the public. It strongly suggests that the DEA’s account of crossfire in the May 2012 mission was not accurate. The release of the video, under a Freedom of Information Act request, follows a scathing report published by the inspectors general of the Departments of Justice and State earlier this year that challenged the DEA’s version of events.

The video shows numerous flashes of light consistent with gunshots originating from the anti-drug unit, according to Bruce Koenig, a forensic expert hired by ProPublica and The New York Times to analyze the images.

Mr. Koenig, who formerly was supervisor of the F.B.I.’s forensic audio/video group, examined the video frame by frame and concluded that only one flash originates from the passenger boat. In Mr. Koenig’s view, that flash could have been caused by a bullet striking the engine, which was later found to have a bullet hole. Infrared cameras detect heat and turn it into bright spots on video, so a muzzle flash from a gunshot and a spark from a bullet ricocheting off a metal surface can create similar flares.

The inspectors general report, which found no evidence to support the DEA’s account that its agents were fired upon, has also drawn attention from lawmakers. A bipartisan group of four senators asserted that the DEA and State Department “repeatedly and knowingly misled members of Congress and congressional staff.”

Carson Ulrich, who served as deputy for the FAST team missions at the time of the Ahuas shooting, stands by the DEA’s assertions that the passenger boat was searching for the drugs and had fired on the anti-drug team.

Mr. Ulrich argued that the now-disbanded FAST program was “desperately” needed to “bring the rule of law to an area governed by the cartels.” The United States inspectors general were biased, Ulrich contended. “They are slandering heroes. I dare anyone to pick up a rifle and do what these American agents did.”

Apparently, the men in FL fired only one shot, and it was following an argument and an attack by the other gang. https://www.abqjournal.com/1080739/3-arrested-after-shooting-following-white-nationalist-speech.html

The three were in a vehicle Thursday immediately after Spencer’s speech and began making Nazi salutes and shouting Hitler chants at a group of people holding anti-Nazi signs near a bus stop, Gainesville Police Officer Ben Tobias said.

One person in the group of about six people struck the back window of the men’s vehicle with a baton, police said.

Tenbrink, a convicted felon, showed a handgun after exiting the car while the Fears brothers encouraged him to shoot, police said.

Raw Story cited the official police statement, as did your AP story. They indicate the three incited the incident by shouting death threats. Words have consequences. Walk up to someone, threaten to kill them, and see what happens.

I'm not saying "RS" lied, only that they omitted relevant details. They made no reference to the crowd attacking the car containing the people who were arrested and they didn't say only one shot was fired.

BUSTED: Watch LA cops plant drugs in black suspect’s wallet – unaware their body cams were on

LA Cops Crooked? Oh My!

An investigation into what is being captured on the body cams worn by Los Angeles police has turned up evidence of officers planting drugs in a suspect’s wallet while believing their cameras were off.

According to CBS-LA, Los Angeles police are now wearing the body cams, but police officials are withholding the videos from the public. However, the station was able to acquire video of one black man being arrested for a hit and run, with the video showing something quite different from what was documented in the official police report.

The report documents the arrest of Ronald Shields, 52, in April when he was taken into custody for a hit and run. According to the police report, LAPD officer Samuel Lee stated that cocaine was found in Shields’ front left pocket

But the body cam of a fellow officer showed one officer picking up the small packet from the ground and placing it in the suspect’s wallet — before making a show of discovering it multiple times for the camera.

LA Finest crooked? Yep!
