Drunken off-duty NYPD cop allowed to do yoga as part of punishment


A vacationing NYPD cop who got “belligerent” with officers in California after drunkenly wandering onto a highway dodged possibly being fired — and instead was allowed to do yoga as part of her punishment.

The behind-the-scenes deal was new NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell’s first act of leniency involving departmental discipline.

Off-duty Harlem cop Catherine Lamonica, 38, was at dinner with two friends in San Francisco on April 10, 2021, when she ditched her pals to continue on to a nearby bar, according to NYPD disciplinary documents obtained through the state Freedom of Information Law.

About an hour later, Lamonica called her friends and told them she was heading back to their hotel. She turned off her phone when she started walking because it was at 1 percent battery life, the documents say.

It isn’t clear how far Lamonica walked, but after about an hour, she turned on her phone again for directions to the hotel — and the device allegedly sent her straight onto Interstate 80, according to the papers.

Multiple people called 911 reporting that “a female was walking in the freeway,” and, when California Highway Patrol responded to the scene, they found the officer “standing in the median center divider looking over the railing by the concrete,” the records say.

“Officers removed Office Lamonica, place[d] her in handcuffs for everyone’s safety, placed her in their police vehicle and transported Officer Lamonica to their headquarters,” documents say. Once in custody, Lamonica “refused to comply with the Officers[sic] request allowing them to speak to the NYPD Supervisor while on the phone, because she wanted to make the notification to her command and operations first,” the records say.

The Big Apple cop was “belligerent, argumentative and discourteous” to the Highway Patrol officers — and when reporting her arrest to her NYPD supervisor, she accused the California cops of assaulting her, according to records. Lamonica later admitted the officers acted “reasonably” because an intoxicated pedestrian on the freeway created a “dangerous situation for everyone,” the documents say.

The West Coast cops then took Lamonica to San Francisco General “because [she] was intoxicated, could not care for herself.”

The trio of California charges filed against Lamonica — for public intoxication, pedestrian prohibited on restricted freeways and failure to obey signs — were eventually dropped by a local assistant district attorney because her “office doesn’t file infractions,” the NYPD’s internal records say.

Entrapment, intimidation, lies and deceit are just part of the FBI's modus operandi.


Marjorie Taylor Greene confronts DOJ about alleged 'entrapping' of defendants in Gov. Whitmer kidnapping plot

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is seeking answers from the Justice Department (DOJ) on whether the FBI "entrapped" defendants in the Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot and whether the high-profile charges in Michigan were politically motivated to hurt former President Trump before the 2020 presidential election.

Greene on Wednesday sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray that backs defense lawyer claims that four defendants charged with conspiring to kidnap Whitmer were steered by undercover FBI agents and informants.

"The American people deserve a transparent justice system and law enforcement that keeps them safe, not entraps them in serious criminal activity in order to sway the outcome of a democratic election," Greene and 11 other GOP lawmakers wrote in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.

After a 20-day trial, two of the four men were acquitted on April 8 of a conspiracy to kidnap Whitmer. Jurors couldn't reach a verdict on charges against two other defendants, resulting in a mistrial. Their lawyers alleged entrapment, and the federal judge in the case allowed jurors to consider whether the FBI engaged in the prohibited practice of cajoling or tricking individuals into committing crimes.

Spokespeople for both the FBI and the Justice Department confirmed receipt of the GOP letter but declined to comment further.

FBI Conducted Potentially Millions of Searches of Americans’ Data Last Year, Report Says

The Federal Bureau of Investigation performed potentially millions of searches of American electronic data last year without a warrant, U.S. intelligence officials said Friday, a revelation likely to stoke longstanding concerns in Congress about government surveillance and privacy.

An annual report published Friday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence disclosed that the FBI conducted as many as 3.4 million searches of U.S. data that had been previously collected by the National Security Agency.

Another incident with Capitol Police.

Robert Byrd, Ashli Babbitt's killer just happened to "forget" his weapon inside the US Capitol but he wasn't fired or charged.

Remember, only cops are "trained professionals" who know how to handle firearms, unlike the plebs whose gun rights are slowly diminishing.


Capitol Police officer suspended after accidentally discharging gun in Cannon Office Building

A Capitol Police officer accidentally discharged their firearm Tuesday morning in the Cannon House Office Building, three sources familiar with the matter said.

After Roll Call first reported the incident, the department confirmed the incident.

CDC Tracked Millions of Phones to See If Americans Followed COVID Lockdown Orders

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) bought access to location data harvested from tens of millions of phones in the United States to perform analysis of compliance with curfews, track patterns of people visiting K-12 schools, and specifically monitor the effectiveness of policy in the Navajo Nation, according to CDC documents obtained by Motherboard. The documents also show that although the CDC used COVID-19 as a reason to buy access to the data more quickly, it intended to use it for more general CDC purposes.

Location data is information on a device’s location sourced from the phone, which can then show where a person lives, works, and where they went. The sort of data the CDC bought was aggregated—meaning it was designed to follow trends that emerge from the movements of groups of people—but researchers have repeatedly raised concerns with how location data can be deanonymized and used to track specific people.

The documents reveal the expansive plan the CDC had last year to use location data from a highly controversial data broker. SafeGraph, the company the CDC paid $420,000 for access to one year of data to, includes Peter Thiel and the former head of Saudi intelligence among its investors. Google banned the company from the Play Store in June.

The CDC used the data for monitoring curfews, with the documents saying that SafeGraph’s data “has been critical for ongoing response efforts, such as hourly monitoring of activity in curfew zones or detailed counts of visits to participating pharmacies for vaccine monitoring.” The documents date from 2021.

Zach Edwards, a cybersecurity researcher who closely follows the data marketplace, told Motherboard in an online chat after reviewing the documents that “The CDC seems to have purposefully created an open-ended list of use cases, which included monitoring curfews, neighbor to neighbor visits, visits to churches, schools and pharmacies, and also a variety of analysis with this data specifically focused on ‘violence.’” (The document doesn’t stop at churches; it mentions “places of worship.”)

Another "brave hero" terrified by a 75 year old woman with dementia.

Las Cruces releases police body cam video of moment when 75-year-old woman was shot, killed

The city of Las Cruces has released more body cam footage which shows the moment when a police officer shot and killed a 75-year-old woman who was holding two knives in her hands on April 16.

The woman killed, Amelia Baca, had dementia, according to her family. Police were called after she allegedly was threatening members of the family.

In the video, the first officer who approaches the door tells two family members who were with Baca to step out of the house. As the two women exit the house, one tells the officer Baca is holding knives, is mentally ill and asks him not to shoot her.

An officer's body camera captures Baca holding a kitchen knife in each hand. The officer commands Baca multiple times to drop the knives, but she doesn't. The officer, the women and Baca all appear to yell for 40 seconds, then the video provided by the city blurs the final couple of seconds before Baca is shot.

The city has yet to release the name of the officer who fired the fatal shots.

Attempted murder.

Victim ‘cooked alive’ after Osceola deputy’s Taser sparked fire at gas pump



The electric discharge from an Osceola County deputy firing his Taser caused a fire that injured three deputies and caused another man to be burned on more than 75% of his body, according to a report completed by the state fire marshal this week.

The report says Osceola County deputies were in a vehicle pursuit attempting to stop a man on a dirt bike prior to the fire on Feb. 27 at a Wawa in Orange County located at John Young and Central Florida parkways. Surveillance video from the incident shows an Osceola County deputy tackling a man, identified as Jean Louis Barreto Baerga, filling up his dirt bike with gas.

The fire caused minor injuries to two deputies, and third-degree burns to another deputy. According to the fire marshal’s report, Barreto Baerga was burned on 76% of his body and was not expected to survive.

The sheriff’s office previously refused to answer whether a Taser was used in the incident.

Texas Deputy Used Boyfriend’s Department-Issued Taser to ‘Drive-Stun’ Her Three Young Boys: Prosecutors

A now-former deputy constable in Texas was arrested earlier this week for allegedly using her stun gun on her three minor children, according to court documents obtained by Law&Crime.

Xochitl Ortiz, 34, stands accused of three counts of felony injury to a child under the age of 15 over the allegations. The alleged victims are her three minor children, all boys, aged 8, 11, and 12.

Most have heard of George Floyd by now but who knows or remembers Tony Timpa?

He was killed by cops despite pleading for help more than 30 times. After killing him the cops laughed and joked.

But his death didn't matter since he was white. No riots, no looting, no beating up innocent bystanders, no taking down statues. Very few even know his name.

Now to add insult to injury, his killers enjoy the travesty known as "qualified immunity".

Federal judge tosses excessive force suit against five Dallas officers in Tony Timpa case

A federal judge in Dallas has thrown out an excessive force lawsuit filed against five Dallas police officers who handcuffed and pinned a mentally ill man to the ground shortly before he died.

In a 27-page ruling, U.S. District Judge David Godbey granted the officers’ motion for summary judgment in the case of Tony Timpa. The unarmed Rockwall man died in 2016 from “sudden cardiac death due to the toxic effects of cocaine and physiological stress associated with physical restraint,” court records show.

Godbey based his decision, signed Monday, on the controversial doctrine of qualified immunity. Under that standard, Timpa’s family had to identify a specific case in the Fifth Circuit court of appeals that clearly established that the officers’ conduct at the time was unconstitutional.

A private security guard handcuffed Timpa before Dallas officers arrived. Timpa was unarmed, in shorts and barefoot. The responding officers mocked the 32-year-old as he screamed for his life, with one officer’s knee pinned in his back for about 14 minutes as he lay face down in the grass, according to court records. They joked after he became unresponsive that he was going to be late for school, the lawsuit says.

The officers involved were Dustin Dillard, Raymond Dominguez, Kevin Mansell, Domingo Rivera and Danny Vasquez.

Three of the officers later faced misdemeanor deadly conduct charges in connection with the death.

But last year, Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot dismissed the charges against Dillard, Mansell and Vasquez. Creuzot said he met with three medical examiners who told him they did not believe the officers acted recklessly.

All but one of the five officers remain on the force, a police spokeswoman said Tuesday. Mansell retired in August 2019, the spokeswoman said.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/courts/2020/07/07/federal-judge-tosses-excessive-force-suit-against-five-dallas-officers-in-tony-timpa-case/



And once again killers are rewarded.


Dallas police promote officer who pinned Tony Timpa to ground before he died in 2016

The Dallas Police Department promoted the officer who pinned Tony Timpa to the ground for nearly 14 minutes before his 2016 death, drawing criticism from an attorney representing Timpa’s family.

Dustin Dillard was elevated this week to the rank of Sr. Cpl., a role that involves training rookie officers. He was celebrated among dozens of other officers Tuesday at the Dallas police promotional ceremony, where he shook Chief Eddie García’s hand and posed for pictures in a video posted on Facebook by the department. The chief then patted Dillard on the arm.

He’s one of four officers facing excessive force accusations in a civil rights case about Timpa’s death. The city is representing Dillard and the three other officers — Raymond Dominguez, Kevin Mansell and Danny Vasquez — and in late April appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent the case from being heard by a jury.

All but one of the officers remain with the department. Mansell retired in August 2019.

Geoff Henley, an attorney representing Timpa’s family, said relatives are frustrated with how long the lawsuit has stretched on, which he said has made it difficult for them to move forward. He said the family “will be angry to hear” about the promotion.

Police failed the children once again. Now the cops and their worshippers are frantically trying to find any excuse for their cowardice and incompetence. Imagine being a parent outside the school while your child is being murdered and the coward cops just sit on their ass and threaten you or taze you if you try to save your child.

But don't expect accountability, only the same old BS excuses:
"Mistakes were made."
"We couldn't have known."
"We had to make a split second decision."
"Hindsight is 20/20."
"Got to make it home at the end of the shift."

etc

Unfortunately many people still believe that cops are there to "serve and protect" whereas the courts have ruled that cops have no duty to protect you, and this has been shown many times in practice. Add in the cop unions who will fight tooth and nail to defend the cowards, the abusers and the killers (that's how 2 of the cowards of Broward were reinstated with back pay).

Authorities investigating if retired federal agent knew of Buffalo mass shooting plans in advance

Law enforcement officers are investigating whether a retired federal agent had about 30 minutes advance notice of a white supremacist's plans to murder Black people at a Buffalo supermarket, two law enforcement officials told The Buffalo News.

Authorities believe the former agent – believed to be from Texas – was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said.

New Documents Illuminate the President’s Secret, Unchecked Emergency Powers

Bush-era records released under the Freedom of Information Act raise concerns about the powers presidents might claim during crises, from suspending habeas corpus to implementing an internet kill switch.


In 2004, high-rank­ing staffers in the George W. Bush admin­is­tra­tion spear­headed a holistic review of the pres­id­ent’s emer­gency powers. Their goal was to refresh a set of secret plans known as “pres­id­en­tial emer­gency action docu­ments,” or PEADs, the continu­ity-of-govern­ment play­book that emerged under Pres­id­ent Dwight Eisen­hower as a response to the threat of nuclear war.

Those docu­ments had been revised previ­ously, but they took on new signi­fic­ance in the wake of 9/11. Their review was, as one Bush offi­cial saw it, an “urgent and compel­ling secur­ity effort, espe­cially in light of ongo­ing threats.”

In response to Free­dom of Inform­a­tion Act requests, the George W. Bush Pres­id­en­tial Library turned over to the Bren­nan Center more than 500 pages gener­ated during this review and subsequent reviews in 2006 and 2008. (Another 6,000 pages were with­held in full because they are clas­si­fied.) The released records shed troub­ling new light on the powers that modern pres­id­ents claim they possess in moments of crisis — powers that appear to lack over­sight from Congress, the courts, or the public.


Controlling commu­nic­a­tions

At least one of the docu­ments under review was designed to imple­ment the emer­gency author­it­ies contained in Section 706 of the Commu­nic­a­tions Act. During World War II, Congress gran­ted the pres­id­ent author­ity to shut down or seize control of “any facil­ity or station for wire commu­nic­a­tion” upon proclam­a­tion “that there exists a state or threat of war involving the United States.”

This fright­en­ingly expans­ive language was, at the time, hemmed in by Amer­ic­ans’ limited use of tele­phone calls and tele­grams. Today, however, a pres­id­ent will­ing to test the limits of his or her author­ity might inter­pret “wire commu­nic­a­tions” to encom­pass the inter­net — and there­fore claim a “kill switch” over vast swaths of elec­tronic commu­nic­a­tion.

And indeed, Bush admin­is­tra­tion offi­cials repeatedly high­lighted the stat­ute’s flex­ib­il­ity: it was “very broad,” as one offi­cial in the National Secur­ity Coun­cil scribbled, and it exten­ded “broader than common carri­ers in FCC [Federal Commu­nic­a­tions Commis­sion] juris[diction].”


Deten­tion author­ity

The records indic­ate that at least one pres­id­en­tial emer­gency action docu­ment pertained to the suspen­sion of habeas corpus. An internal memor­andum from June 2008 specified that a docu­ment under the Justice Depart­ment’s juris­dic­tion was “still being revised by OLC [Office of Legal Coun­sel], in light of recent Supreme Court opin­ion.” Examin­ing the Court’s rulings over the previ­ous months, it is evid­ent that this must refer to the land­mark decision in Boumediene v. Bush, which recog­nized Guantanamo Bay pris­on­ers’ consti­tu­tional right to chal­lenge their deten­tion in court. This strongly suggests that the early–­Cold War PEADs purport­ing to suspend habeas corpus had survived, at least in some form, and were part of the Bush admin­is­tra­tion’s review.

The result of the admin­is­tra­tion’s post-Boumediene revi­sion is unknown. Signi­fic­antly, though, it does­n’t appear that any emer­gency action docu­ments were with­drawn or cancelled. To the contrary, eight PEADs were added, bring­ing the total number to 56.


Inhib­it­ing the right to travel

Restrict­ing the use of U.S. pass­ports — a repor­ted feature of some early pres­id­en­tial emer­gency action docu­ments — remained on the table as of 2008. Records gener­ated by the Bush admin­is­tra­tion’s review high­lighted a provi­sion of law from 1978 that allows the govern­ment to curtail inter­na­tional move­ment based on “war,” “armed hostil­it­ies,” or “immin­ent danger to the public health or the phys­ical safety of United States trav­el­lers.”

Although pres­id­ents have used this stat­ute to ban travel to Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, and North Korea, a more sweep­ing abrog­a­tion of the right to travel would repres­ent a stark break from modern histor­ical prac­tice.

Just an observation but your timeline is pretty meaningless without the transcripts from the dispatchers and the cops. Knowing this page like I do, I don't expect a response from Skeletor, he never responds to critiques.. he just lays out the propaganda and mover on.. but for those with a lick of sense... the timeline is meaningless.

Knowing this page like I do, I don't expect a response from Skeletor, he never responds to critiques.. he just lays out the propaganda and mover on.. but for those with a lick of sense... the timeline is meaningless.

Um - the head of the police department said they made the wrong calls and decisions.   This fiasco is a disgrace and the entire PD should be disbanded and fired.

Why Do you use the term propaganda in reference to what skeletor post ??
Are they not mostly News media articles / clips or statements.

Clearly you do not like police criticism & always defend police behaviour ,
isn't that extreme bias & narrow mindedness Not to be able accept & admit
often times cops get it totally wrong & their behaviour is awful & folk are needlessly
Killed or injured.

As in any job there are bad workers & arseholes & in jobs with Authority this
is often worse as it brings these tendencies out in some as they think they are
above & beyond reproach.

other than that - long time no posting -
& hows life with you? have you completed your European trip.

Texas Deputy Used Boyfriend’s Department-Issued Taser to ‘Drive-Stun’ Her Three Young Boys: Prosecutors

A now-former deputy constable in Texas was arrested earlier this week for allegedly using her stun gun on her three minor children, according to court documents obtained by Law&Crime.

Xochitl Ortiz, 34, stands accused of three counts of felony injury to a child under the age of 15 over the allegations. The alleged victims are her three minor children, all boys, aged 8, 11, and 12.

Larry Nassar survivors seeking over $1 billion from FBI for not intervening in abuse
ESPN ^ | 6/7/2022 | ASSociated
Posted on 6/8/2022, 8:26:29 AM by God luvs America

DETROIT -- Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and dozens of other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar are seeking more than $1 billion from the FBI for failing to stop the convicted sports doctor when the agency first received allegations against him, lawyers said Wednesday.

There is no dispute that FBI agents in 2015 knew that Nassar was accused of assaulting gymnasts, but they failed to act, leaving him free to continue to target young women and girls for more than a year.

"It is time for the FBI to be held accountable," said Maggie Nichols, a national champion gymnast at Oklahoma from 2017 to 2019.

Under federal law, a government agency has six months to respond to the tort claims filed Wednesday. Lawsuits could follow, depending on the FBI's response.

The approximately 90 claimants include Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, all Olympic gold medalists, according to Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, a California law firm.

"If the FBI had simply done its job, Nassar would have been stopped before he ever had the chance to abuse hundreds of girls, including me," said former University of Michigan gymnast Samantha Roy.

Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics told local FBI agents in 2015 that three gymnasts said they were assaulted by Nassar, a team doctor. But the FBI did not open a formal investigation or inform federal or state authorities in Michigan, according to the Justice Department's inspector general, an internal watchdog.

Los Angeles FBI agents in 2016 began a sexual tourism investigation against Nassar and interviewed several survivors but also didn't alert Michigan authorities, the inspector general said.

Teacher wounded in Uvalde shooting says he will never forgive police
MSN ^ | June 7, 2022 | Brittany Shammas
Posted on 6/7/2022, 8:36:30 PM by Tired of Taxes

A teacher wounded in last month’s mass shooting at a Texas elementary school said he will never forgive law enforcement for waiting more than an hour to stop the gunman who killed 19 students and two teachers.

Arnulfo Reyes, hospitalized after being shot twice during the May 24 massacre at Robb Elementary School, spoke of his anger toward police during an emotional interview that aired Tuesday. He described feeling abandoned by officers who stood in a hallway even as students begged for help in repeated calls to 911.

“After everything, I get more angry, because you have a bulletproof vest. I had nothing! I had nothing,” a crying Reyes said in a segment broadcast on “Good Morning America.” “You’re supposed to protect and serve. There is no excuse for their actions.”

In his interview with ABC, Reyes detailed the horror that unfolded in his classroom as he and his students hid under tables waiting for help. The fourth-grade English and language arts teacher said May 24 was “going to be a good day,” with students receiving awards during a ceremony at the school.

Some of the students went home after the ceremony. But 11 stayed at school, and Reyes put on a movie for them in Room 111. Suddenly, shots rang out.

“The kids started asking out loud, ‘Mr. Reyes, what is going on?’ ” he recalled. “And I said, ‘I don’t know what’s going on, but let’s go ahead and get under the table. Get under the table and act like you’re asleep.’ ”

He was gathering them under the table when he turned and saw the gunman.

He fell to the floor and decided, “I’m going to act like I’m asleep also.” He said the Lord’s Prayer and the Hail Mary and “prayed and prayed...

No - cops need to be trained better, and be held to higher standards on a regular basis.  Being a fat as f lazy bastid is standard fare for most govt workers, should never be for cops, fireman, military, EMT

Houston Forces Private Businesses to Install 24/7 Citywide Digital Surveillance Cameras for Warrantless Access by Police

The Rutherford Institute is calling on the City of Houston to address glaring constitutional concerns relating to a recently adopted ordinance that requires private businesses to install citywide digital surveillance cameras that can be accessed by police without a search warrant.

The Exterior Security Cameras Ordinance, adopted by the Houston City Council on April 20, 2022, requires private businesses to purchase and install digital surveillance cameras that carry out round-the-clock, citywide surveillance on the populace while “allowing” police to access the footage at any time, for any reason, and without the need of a court-issued warrant.

In a letter to the Houston City Council, Rutherford Institute attorneys warn that the City’s thinly veiled attempt to evade oversight and accountability for Fourth Amendment violations by forcing a quasi-private/public arrangement on private businesses regarding the ownership and governance of digital surveillance cameras will not likely hold up to judicial scrutiny.

On April 20, 2022, the Houston City Council passed an ordinance ostensibly aimed at addressing “an increase of violent crimes due to the pandemic, social anxiety and economic uncertainty, open carry law and a strained criminal justice system resulting in a criminal backlog of cases.”

The Exterior Security Cameras Ordinance requires certain private businesses (all bars, nightclubs, sexually-oriented businesses, convenience stores and game rooms inside city limits) to work in consultation with the Houston Police Department in order to install digital surveillance cameras that record the exterior property areas at all times. Business owners must bear the costs of the cameras, ensure the cameras are in proper working order, maintain recordings for at least 30 days, and provide video footage within 72 hours to police upon their request without a search warrant.

The Ordinance is slated to take effect mid-July. Failure to comply with the Ordinance is a punishable offense for business owners with fines up to $500 per day. However, as The Rutherford Institute warns, by lodging the responsibility for the cameras with private businesses, the City is proceeding as if it is not bound by the warrant requirements of the Fourth Amendment, giving police carte blanche access to the surveillance footage from these digital cameras. Consequently, the Ordinance does not require a judge or magistrate to confirm that the police demand for video footage is supported by probable cause of criminal activity under oath, it does not limit the scope of the video footage which can be requested by the police in order to prevent obtaining extra and unnecessary video footage, and it does not require the crime to be violent or even serious in relation to the Ordinance’s stated goal of reducing violent crime. The Ordinance also fails to limit the use and further dissemination of the video footage by the police.
