The verdict is in" guilty.
All of the officers lies didn’t matter:
NYPD cop found guilty of running drug-trafficking operation out of her Bronx apartment
For fuck’s sake.
This was over in MPSIMS
Cops called on a black man at a Phoenix theater for allegedly sneaking in a side door. He had a ticket.
What did the police do wrong here? I’m not even 100% convinced the theater did anything wrong - it seems unclear if the gentleman initially was asked for his ticket stub and/or if he showed it to the manager the first time he was questioned. That seems like it would have solved the issue.
It is clear that eventually the ticket stub was asked for and provided, and the police went away.
Looks like he initially refused to show his ticket stub to security.
The refusal to give him a refund is a little wonky–because his cell phone’s light was showing while he filmed the incident–but I think that the moviegoer is trying to stir some shit where there is no shit.

Here was an article about it:
When ICE stopped him, he sent them packing.
I dont know if these belong in this thread, but. . .
Chicago cop John Rivera was killed early Sat (3/20) while sitting in his car with his girlfriend.
IL State Trooper Gerald Ellis was killed in his car on Hwy I94 north of Chicago early on 3/30.
Now there’s nothing inherently controversial about their deaths. Both were killed in tragic and preventable ways and their deaths should be mourned by us all. The controversy, IMHO, comes after.
In the first case the Superintendent of the Chicago Police, not a spokesperson or the officer in charge of the case, the Superintendent gave a press conference in which he called the killing of one of his officers a hate crime. Now, he wasn’t wrong. It appears that John Rivera was killed because he was hispanic. But Rivera was off duty, in plain clothes and the suspects did not know he was a cop. None of which is in dispute. And hate crimes happen literally every day in Chicago and the police dept (to say nothing of the Supt) has never said boo about it. Not only that, but the Supt also detailed how they moved heaven and earth to apprehend two suspects in less than 48 hrs. Apparently the Chicago police can solve a homicide if they are sufficiently motivated.
In the Ellis case, it was the Acting Director of the IL State Police who gave the press conference. In which he said “Today, another great hero of Illinois has paid the ultimate sacrifice for protecting and serving the citizens of this state.” However, Trooper Ellis was not in pursuit of the suspect, was not vulnerable at the side of the road giving aid to a motorist or in anyway doing his job. It appears that he was just driving home and was killed by a wrong way driver. Now, that doesn’t happen alot in IL, but it is not unusual for a motorist to be killed by a wrong way driver. And up until this point the Director of ILSP has not said anything, and certainly not "There are only two ways this stops: People drive safely, or troopers stop patrolling.”
It just bugs the hell out of me. Clearly law enforcement officers value their own over the rest of the public even when the deaths had nothing to do with their jobs.

What’s disturbing is that the officer knew that the driver of the car was legally in the right - the “warrant” wasn’t signed. Yet he continued to insist that it was legally valid. ICE has always behaved controversially but under Trump they’ve gone rogue.
Wouldn’t rogue be doing it without your boss’s blessing? Somehow, I don’t see Tan the Conman not putting his imprimatur on all of that.
Even when cops are shown to bad, they still get hired
L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva reinstates a second deputy fired for misconduct
A Columbus police officer has been indicted for murdering a sex worker, which he claims happened when she stabbed him (he was in plain clothes in an unmarked car) during a legitimate arrest.
Separately, and I’m sure it’s 100% definitely for sure not related to what happened to that poor victim, he was also charged in federal court last month for raping women after arresting them, and tampering with evidence.
I know that you are a horrible person because you are a hate filled bigot. It must be horrible to be you.
Bizarre accident, police cruiser being driven by a police officer slammed into car in the parking lot of an Illinois high school that was on lockdown
Story

'Splain me this,
The crash occurred as the officer providing exterior security saw a car pull into the parking lot and began to parallel the vehicle in an attempt to determine why the car was at the school. The report indicates the officer did not realize that the car had turned into the same parking lot and the squad car struck the vehicle in the driver’s door.
It seems to be contradictory. If the explanation is “the story is poorly written,” well, yeah it is.
The white car was headed north, so the cop headed north, as well. He didn’t realize that the car had turned west, and at his rate of speed, he couldn’t stop when he figured it out.
More power tripping, lying, fucking douchebags.
Ultimate cause of this sequence of events: she had a cell phone out in class. If we don’t stop with this zero tolerance bullshit, this will just keep happening. This has no place in a civilized society. Nor, for that matter, does certain police officers treating their job like they are on patrol in Helmand Province.
It’s time for a deal: raise property taxes the fraction of a percent it would take to give all officers a 20% raise. In return, they stop this thin blue line nonsense. The new agreement is that if they see a bad cop, they call him out. If they assist in covering for a bad cop, the disciplinary consequences are the same as if they had committed the infraction. And when someone hires on, after having been a po somewhere else, the hiring force is required to inquire with the previous force, and the previous forse is required to air all dirty laundry.
It is time to create an environment where good cops can be good cops, and get paid for it, with zero tolerance for bad apples. Some people were not meant to be cops - the moment this becomes clear, it needs to come to a parting of the ways.
