Remember this story?
News out today: The entire class in that photo, plus a few higher-ups, have all been fired.
Prison guard trainees were photographed giving a Nazi salute. The whole class got fired. Kim Bellware, Washington Post, Dec. 30, 2019.
A Kansas police officer told the chief that an employee at a local McDonald’s wrote “fucking pig” on his coffee cup.
Then the owner and the chief reviewed the store security footage and found that no such thing happened.
Turns out the cop made it up as a “joke” and he’s now been fired.
Two Mobile, Ala cops made a “quilt” out of homeless people’s signs where they asked for handouts and food, then posted it online with the caption “Wanna wish everybody in the 4th precinct a Merry Christmas, especially our captain. Hope you enjoy our homeless quilt. Sincerely Panhandler patrol.” The Chief of Police apologized, but there is no indication that there were any repercussions.
- Officers shot the woman after she refused orders to drop the shotgun, he said. “If she would not have pointed a gun at the agents they would have determined all that on the scene and would have bid her a ‘good day and thank you very much,’” Cochran said.*
Yeah, because it is her fault that they failed to check their own paperwork. Anyone want to bet on whether she has to pay her own medical bill?
The over-under on how long they gave her to comply is 0.01 second.

Man brutally beaten by cops in a hospital in 2018 found dead
NSFW
The video is brutal. It shows two incidents of a cop punching a man in custody. Once in a wheelchair and one in a hospital bed. The attack in the hospital bed was filmed by his partner. He starts the video by turning the camera on himself to show his smiling face.
The punch in the wheelchair (which resulted in injuries that required racial reconstruction surgery) was witnessed by a half dozen officers. None of them reported anything.
Authorities only know about the video…because they found it when they arrested Paterson Police Officer Ruben McAusland for drug dealing. He was selling heroin and cocaine while in uniform…from his marked police car.
They found out about his drug dealing during a Federal investigation of Paterson cops making illegal traffic stops and then robbing the drivers.
All 6 officers were part of the same 2014 class of police recruits.
Officer Admits He Faked Claim About McDonald’s Coffee Cup Insult
The Kansas police officer resigned after video footage showed that restaurant employees had not written “pig” on his cup.

Police officer “fabricated” story about being served McDonald’s coffee with “f***ing pig” written on cup
A Kansas police officer “fabricated” a story that a McDonald’s employee wrote an expletive on his coffee cup over the weekend, Herington Police Chief Brian Hornaday said Monday. Hornaday said the officer, who no longer works for the department, had originally claimed he had been given a coffee cup on Saturday that had “f***ing pig” written on it.
“We found that McDonald’s and its employees did not have anything whatsoever to do with this incident. This was completely and solely fabricated by a Herington police officer who is no longer employed with our agency,” Hornaday said at a press conference.
The officer, who has not been identified, was with the Herington Police Department for only two months, Hornaday said. … Dana Cook, the owner of a McDonald’s in Junction City, said in a written statement after the allegation was made that the store had video showing it couldn’t have been an employee. Cook did not speculate at the time about who may have written the words.
“My McDonald’s have the utmost respect for all members of law enforcement and the military and were troubled by the accusation made,” Cook wrote in the statement. “We thoroughly reviewed our security video from every angle, which clearly shows the words were not written by one of our employees. We look forward to working with Chief Hornaday as he continues his investigation.”
Yeah. The whole story was made up bullshit.
NYPD cop sentenced in racist tirade resigns amid outcry
The NYPD cop went to Tennessee for a bachelor party, got rip-roaring drunk, broke into a family’s house and yelled racial slurs and threats.
He was fired by NYPD because of an online petition of 12000 names and the fact that the incident was recorded on a neighbor’s surveillance video.

Cleveland police detective’s shoddy work led to Columbus man’s wrongful arrest, lawsuit says
In NYC, as a cop, you can fuck teenage arrestees, tamper with evidence and make up crimes out of whole cloth to set up people for 15 year sentences without doing any time as a consequence. Police detective convicted of inventing a crime to imprison innocent man is allowed to walk free by judge
I couldn’t believe my fucking eyes. Had to read it 3 times.
To be fair the the sentencing of 1 day in prison was for the perjury. The other mentioned crimes are tied, through the same judge, to two different incidents with different officers.
Offered up for clarity’s sake.
In Mississippi, Willie Nash gets arrested for a misdemeanor. Goes to jail. At booking, his cell phone is not confiscated. Nash later asks a guard to charge his phone. The guard confiscates the phone, and Nash is charged with violating a Mississippi law that forbids prisoners from having electronic devices while in jail.
Now, recall that the booking officer failed to confiscate the phone. And it’s obvious that Nash had no nefarious intentions and didn’t even realize he wasn’t supposed to have the phone.
So he gets this additional charge and that goes to trial, a trial at which the booking officer is never called to testify. So the jury doesn’t get to hear whether proper booking procedures were followed. Nash gets convicted and sentenced to a $5000 fine and fifteen fucking years in prison.
The Mississippi Supreme Court just upheld the sentence.
This is America.
How do these fucking people sleep at night?
Correction… It was only 12 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Absolutely absurd. The complete lack of reasonableness is cruel and counterproductive.
But why didn’t the defense attorney subpoena the booking officer to testify that the phone was never taken, not instructions that a phone is contraband?
Thanks for the correction. And yeah I was also wondering if his defense was effective.
OK, yeah, this guy did a hit and run, so he’s not exactly a good guy, but a cop let it out that the hit and run had left a person in critical condition, which it did not, so the guy who did the hit and run committed suicide. The cop said “it’s a lie, but it’s fun.”
I am going to guess that the assumption was that he did not have the cell phone when booked. He had it smuggled in at a later time. The defense attorney may have questioned the booking officer and did not hear the answer he wanted. If the officer admits he did not search someone going into the jail, he might get fired.
