We're the Only Ones Watching Over You Enough

Prosecutors charged a former Natrona County reserve deputy with seven felonies in connection with allegations that he secretly videotaped couples engaged in sexual activities inside their Evansville home.

Police say Alan Brooks, 65, wired a Curtis Street home in Evansville with elaborate recording devices and spent the past four years videotaping its residents. Court documents refer to Brooks as the property’s “manager and/or landlord.” [More]
Who would even think to do something like this?

And let's just take a look at some of the recent stories sent to me I've decided not to do individual posts on:

Riverside police officer faces child molestation charges

Kan. police chief accused of 17 felonies, including rape, indecent liberties with children

Fired Henry deputy accused of having sex with minor

I could go on, but why?

Again, I don't go looking for this crap. And I don't want the main focus of this site to be taken over by tales of official incompetence, corruption, sordid perversion, cruelty...But I do think it's important to always have a selection of accounts on hand to throw back at anyone either lying or idiotic enough to maintain police are the "Only Ones" we should trust with guns.

If that gets me labeled a "denigrator," so be it. And in the interests of CUM ULLA SELLA IN PUGNO TABERNA, perhaps we ought to look at the etymology of that word and question why the Bradys used it instead of a substitute of less offensive origin, such as "disparage."

    Unless and until more girls,unrelated and unknown to the accuser, come forward with similar allegations against the Riverside cop, I am mightily skeptical of her accusations. It appears to me it smacks of character assassination because of a dispute between this cop and family members of the girl. It just smells bad right now.

    And nobody can accuse me of loving the cops. But this doesn't pass the smell test at this point.
