I'm retired firefighter. Got a call one night to a person shot. We get there and and outside the Apartment is 6-7 these long haired thuggish looking guys that point to an open door that has been kicked in. We walk in and a guy is on the floor with more than a few gunshots to the body, a 22 rifle on the floor a few feet away No pulse, no breathing, so we start CPR on him till the ambulance got there. While they took him away I looked at the scene to try to figure out what happened. The 22 rifle was not loaded in fact it was inoperable. Where the guy was laying on the floor, He not only had multiple gunshot wounds the carpet around his body had several chunks ripped out of it where they shot and missed while he was clearly down. Then all the thug looking guys come into the apartment which kinda scared me until I realised they were the police. I'll always believe they killed this guy for nothing. The paper said they suspected him of being a big drug pusher. No drugs or money were found. His family said he didn't sell or use drugs. Bad boy, bad boy, what you gonna do when they come for you.

We had a guy over here shoot himself 9 times in the chest in a apparent suicide.

True story.

Things like above happened a few more times and the Feds showed up. Shut down two police departments.

There have been more than a few reports of home invasions posing as cops in recent memory. What better or easier way of getting into someone's house than announcing yourself as a raid team?

A warrant? I can probably get a scanned copy of one or just show you sales contract from a car dealership at 2:00 a.m. and most people wouldn't know the difference.

Meh I go sign warrants on an almost weekly basis. I'm very familiar with what they look like.

MIAMI (AP) — Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Donna Jane Watts was on routine patrol early one morning when a Miami police car whizzed past at speeds that would eventually top 120 mph. Even with her blue lights flashing and siren blaring, it took Watts more than seven minutes to pull the speeder over.

Not certain who was behind the wheel, she approached the car warily, with gun drawn, according video from her cruiser's dashboard camera. "Put your hands out of the window! Right now!" she yelled. It turned out the driver was Miami Police Department officer Fausto Lopez, in full uniform. Watts holstered her gun but still handcuffed him and took his weapon.

"I apologize," Lopez said, explaining that he was late for an off-duty job.

"You were running 120 miles an hour!" Watts barked back.

That October 2011 confrontation made national headlines and eventually got Lopez fired. But Watts' actions involving a fellow officer didn't sit well with many in law enforcement, and not long after she made that traffic stop, she says, the harassment began. Random telephone calls on her cell phone. Some were threats and some were prank calls, including orders for pizza. Unfamiliar vehicles and police cars sat idling in her cul-de-sac. She was afraid to open her mailbox.

Watts suspected her private driver's license information was being accessed by fellow officers, so she made a public records request with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. It turned out she was right: over a three-month period, at least 88 law enforcement officers from 25 different agencies accessed Watts' driver's license information more than 200 times, according to her lawyer.

Law enforcement officers have long been known to band together and protect each other, but Watts said in her lawsuit that these actions went too far.

In this frame grab made from a Oct. 11, 2011 video available from the Florida Department of Highway *…

Watts is suing those police agencies and the individual officers under the federal Driver Privacy Protection Act, a 1994 law that provides for a penalty of $2,500 for each violation if the information was improperly accessed. Watts' attorney, Mirta Desir, said it's clear most of the officers had no legitimate reason to look up her data. If all the searches were found illegal, Watts could receive more than $500,000.


I hope she gets all of that and some extra. Good work, Donna.

Driver privacy protection act??

I have never heard of this. We should all do a class action nationwide lawsuit.

They keep it up and people are going to start just killing the cops instead of fooling with them.

Local coverage of the incident.

One thing I will give the police out here in the OKC metro area is these incidents are few and far between. And when justice is served in these cases, it tends to go towards the victim in the incident.

We shall see.

Don't want to see it come to that but there is a definite divide. I think the "protect and serve" motto went out the window years ago.

There is a movie coming out, that if it went viral, you would see and hear about cops getting beat down or killed. I saw the preview. It's bad.

I think a few bad apples spoil the bunch as most cops are generally good people trying to do a tough job. Unfortunately, the press of isolated incidents makes better headlines than the good things that are done.

You will disagree, I know this.

Ambulance driver? Ambulance supervisor?

Same cop beating a guy on his front porch? They finally fired him. Then another one recently beating someone on the side of the road

Back in 2009?

Again, a bad apple that spoils the bunch. One or two out of 900+. But you are correct, he should have been dismissed after the first incident.
