Sure, the US has its share of corrupt cops but at least our cops don't run Benny Hill style away from Transvestite hookers. Someone please get Kristina to translate this in the comments section.

This is one for the books. Allegedly, Orlando Police Officer Brandon R. Loverde force Rachelle Cortez to sit on the ground while he reached into her shirt and fondled her breasts so that she would lactate on him. I guess there are limits to police powers.

So here's what happened. Venice Police officer Michael Frassetti arrested Joshua Rose for drunk driving on May 28, 2008. Joshua Rose's uncle/cousin (it is somehow unclear) is Lieutenant Mike Rose...Frassetti's immediate supervisor. On June 4, Lieutenant Mike Rose informed officer Michael Frassetti that he was under investigation for deleting police files. Turns out that while said files are missing, the IT system of the Venice PD is so bad that often files are screwed up or deleted quite often...but that doesn't stop the prosecution of what appears to be a good cop.

So the moral of the story here is that there are a few police that are corrupt that will lie and cheat to get their way. In doing this, they make ALL police look corrupt. Maybe the police should kick the bad cops out?

Update: Part 2 of the investigation.

Indiana Police Officer Brian Miller pulled over Jamie Lockard under suspicion of DUI. Although he passed the breathalizer, Brian didn't like him so he arrested detained Jamie, took him to a hospital and forced him to give a urine sample. How do you force someone to give a urine sample? Well you don't do it by running the bathroom faucet.

Oh yeah...he passed that test too so the good officer charged him with obstruction of justice for not having a blood alcohol content over the legal limit...or something like that.

Attention good cops! Get rid of these BAD cops and you won't get grouped in with Bullies like Brian Miller.

99% of Cops are good public servants. Although they may piss you off when they catch you speeding, they are just doing it to keep the roads safe. But then there are cops like Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Daniel Martin who goes apeshit on an EMT for not pulling over fast enough...



See how he pulls up the ambulance's ass? Did you see the car on the shoulder that prevented the ambulance from immediately pulling over? Here's a view from the camera of son of the lady INSIDE THE AMBULANCE being taken to the hospital (she eventually arrived and was released).



Ok. Just like all the other posts in Bad Cops, this cop MAY lose his job. Do you know what he will do? He will go become a police officer somewhere else. When it comes to gross abuse of powers as shown in videos like this and in the rest of the Bad Cops category, these cops should lose their certifications and NEVER BE ALLOWED to be cops again. Just like a lawyer losing his license to practice law, crooked cops should never be allowed to be cops again.

So here's the background. Following up on a tip of 3 white prostitutes in the area, Galveston police saw 12-year-old Dymond Milburn, who is black, in her front yard. Clearly matching the description of a "white prostitute," the cops attempted to arrest her. She then proceeded to dangerously grab a tree, scream for her father, and assaulted narcotics officer, David Roark, (and his flashlight apparently) with her face, eyes, throat and ear drums. Fortunately for them, her face, eyes, throat and ear drums took the majority of the damage and she was hospitalized.

She is now charged with assaulting a police officer. That's some fine police brutality, Lou. Bad Cops just barely beat Shady Law out on this one (the prosecutor's office is clearly in bed with the crooked police department).

In case you haven't heard, a transit cop in Oakland, Johannes Mehserle, fatally shot a man, Oscar Grant, execution style while he was being restrained.



This view has a better perspective.



Did the cop mean to shoot this guy in the back? I don't think so. Although the second video shows the actual shooting clearer, the first video shows his immediate reaction. He looks completely surprised that he shot the guy. You hear all those people screaming in the videos? I am sure that the cops heard them too. No cop is crazy enough to execute a guy in front of whole bunch of witnesses.

My guess is that he thought he was shooting him with a taser for "resisting arrest." According to lots of other articles I have read on the internet, Johannes was threatening Oscar with his taser gun a little before the shooting but apparently put it away. It is possible that he mistakenly drew his gun thinking it was a taser gun (which begs the question: why are taser guns so similar to REAL guns?).

But there is something that SHOULD come out of this. Had there not been a TON of video cameras showing this, do we really think there would have been this kind of uproar? Is it be possible that the city would quietly pay off the family and the guy would be reassigned? Who knows. I think one thing is clear though. People should be ENCOURAGED to video tape cops during arrests. Because of their "authority," cops' accounts of situations will always be trusted and civilians will be suspect. The video is your tool to show the world the truth.

It should be a criminal offense for a cop to try to stop an innocent bystander from video taping an arrest from a safe distance(jackass videographers that get in the face of cops while they are doing their job deserve to lose their cameras and get arrested themselves).

Let me repeat myself for the zillionth time. The vast majority of cops are good cops and their sacrifices are tarnished by a small minority of bad cops. That said, there should be no mercy with respect to bringing down those bad cops.

Kopbusters is a reality show that sets up cops to see if they break the law. Here is a link to the video of them violating the 4th amendment by searching a house growing two christmas trees.

The unnamed Newark Police Officer was quoted as saying, "I can do whatEVER I want!"

William S. James Elementary School is going to have a hard time finding parent chaperones for the third grade in the near future. Apparently, if you tap the shoulder of the son of a state trooper and tell him to "shush", you will be charged with assault.
