“This chief (of) police gig is awesome,” Bradley Wendt wrote to an associate in 2019, according to court exhibits. “Send machine guns to my own gun store. LOL.”
At trial, prosecutors said the evidence showed Wendt purchased an M134 motor-driven Gatling gun — capable of firing 50 rounds per second and typically used on military helicopters — that he mounted to his personally owned, armored Humvee.


In his initial efforts to facilitate that sale, Wendt allegedly wrote a letter, as chief of police, to himself as the owner of BW Outfitters, claiming the Adair Police Department was considering purchasing the weapon due to its ability to lay down “suppressive fire.”

To protect (themselves) and serve (themselves).
Somebody needs to be sanctioned with extreme prejudice.

NYC - where being poor gets you the death penalty without a trial
Saw a cop car video the other day of an Arkansas officer chasing a bike on a freeway for a minor traffic violation. (from the video, it looked like he changed lanes without signalling.) This guy was weaving from shoulder to shoulder passing other cars at a serious speed with inches between the his car the cars he was passing on the right and the guardrail. Then he was doing the same thing on the left hand side. Then split traffic down the middle. I really don't know how he got thought some of those gaps. This went on through heavy traffic for several minutes. The other thing? The bike was GONE in the first 15-20 seconds. The number of people he put into serious jeopardy was insane and all cause his ego wouldn't let him just call it after Mr. bike was long gone. Fucking idiot should be fired and have the book thrown at him, but, nope, just standard operating procedure.

“Everyone who was struck this afternoon, we believe, was hit by our officers”

"The knife police recovered from the scene was not the knife Mickles had when officers shot him, according to NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Tarik Sheppard. It was a different knife that someone reportedly left on the train amid the chaos"

I knew about the Cincinnati case...but I didn't know about this part:
The IG found that the search was based on a tip by an airline employee who passed on the names of passengers who had purchased flights 48 hours before departure. That employee was being paid by the DEA a percentage of the cash seized, the IG found, and had received tens of thousands of dollars over several years. That arrangement is problematic, investigators concluded.

The police department in Worcester, Massachusetts, allowed officers to engage in sexual contact with women suspected of being involved in the commercial sex trade, according to a report the U.S. Justice Department released Monday following a two year investigation.

I know exactly when it started here. The BLM/George Floyd protests. The pigs got their fee-fees hurt when people demanded literally any sort of accountability for policing and the cops basically put out a closed for business sign and haven't done fuck all since. The only time I even see them around town is huddled in groups of 3-5 cars in parking lots having what I can only assume is a circle jerk/coffee kkklatch.
Just putting it here, where it belongs. Such a good quote.

This maybe old, but it is the first time I have heard it and it did give me a good laugh.

Donuts were originally square, but they cut the corners off for officer safety.
