We're the Only Ones "Murphy's Law" Enough

He did far more than that. Murphy and other deputies made an unwarranted entry into a home, and then into a locked gun safe. Murphy's uncensored, darkly disturbing observations and behavior following his Code-3 arrival at the rural home of longtime SLO County resident Matt Hart were picked up by Murphy's and other deputies’ own recorders. Those recordings provide a rare, frighteningly revealing, behind-the-scenes perspective of how one local law enforcement agency views the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and other laws its personnel are sworn to uphold.

What oath?

We're the Only Ones Dwarfed Enough

A Massachusetts police officer resigned after leaving his beat to see a dwarf porn star called "Bridget the Midget" and lied about the visit during an investigation into the incident, local media reported Tuesday. [More]

Snouts in the Trough

It was the first council meeting since the Los Angeles Times reported July 15 that Chief Administrative Officer Robert Rizzo earns $787,637 -- with annual 12 percent raises -- and that Bell pays its police chief $457,000, more than Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck makes in a city of 3.8 million people. Bell council members earn almost $100,000 for part-time work. [More]
And naturally, Mayor Hernandez knew nothing about that meth lab on his property.

Nice work if you can get it. But then, you can't.

I don't suppose it would do any good to call the Bell tip line and report criminal activity? Other than to give them a good laugh?

We're the Only Ones Sorry for Your Loss Enough

A man says he called Loganville police to his home for help and ended up being beaten by officers. Kenny Dixon said Friday that he arrived home Wednesday to find that his son had committed suicide. [More]

Looks like it.

York; indeed as to their Fleet, I trust the Blow is already struck. [More]
