Woman Beat By Cop In Shreveport
A Shreveport police officer has been fired after an incident in which a female prisoner taken into custody on suspicion of DWI wound up lying on a floor at the police station in a pool of blood.
Much of what happened was recorded on a videotape -- but there is a gap of undetermined length. During that time, the woman wound up injured. She said she was beaten up; the officer said she fell.

Disabled man dumped
Tampa, Florida - Four Hillsborough Sheriffs Deputies are on suspension following an incident where a quadriplegic was dumped out of a wheelchair as he was being booked into jail.
The incident was caught on tape showing a detention deputy, Charlette Marshall-Jones, dumping Brian Sterner onto the ground as he was being booked into the Hillsborough jail.
"There is no excuse. This is indefensible," says Hillsborough Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Joe Docobo. Docobo says he couldn't believe what he saw and neither could Sheriff David Gee, who is currently out of town. Gee saw the incident on our web site Monday night.
According to Docobo, Gee told him "he is as equally disgusted about this incident" as most of people around the Sheriff's Office are.
Sterner, who is angry about the incident, says he was speechless when he saw the tape. Sterner had not seen it until we aired it, but as watched it he says was also thankful.
"I'm very glad there was a camera present when they did this to me," he says.
Sterner's attorney, John Trevena says what happened at the Orient Road Jail wasn't just disgusting, it was criminal.
"We believe this case merits criminal charges," Trevena says. According to Trevena, "There is a specific statute that deals with battery on a disabled person and we believe this case merits that."
Meanwhile, the attorney for Deputy Steve Dickey is demanding a retraction after we reported his client appeared to be laughing after Sterner was dumped on the ground, and Dickey's wife called several times to assert the deputy wasn't laughing. But both Sterner and Docobo don't see it that way.
"When I saw that one deputy laugh, that's when my blood started to boil," Sterner says.
When asked if a deputy was laughing, Docobo answers, "It appears that way to me, which makes it all the worse, quite honestly."
And that's why Docobo says heads must roll.
"Based on what I saw, anything short of dismissal would be inappropriate," he says.
That is exactly how Sterner and the majority of the people who saw our story on Monday seem to feel as well.
The deputy who dumped Sterner is suspended without pay. The other three supervisors are suspended with pay.
In response to many questions about Sterner's condition, he is classified as a quadriplegic; even though he can move his arms, he has lost most of the muscle use in his hands.

to express your concern for
Officer Salvatore Rivieri's behavior to ensure proper attention/action.
Is it a man? Is it a dude? No, it's officer Rivieri of the Baltimore Police Department who is the latest small membered thug cop to believe that it is his duty to go around bullying and wrestling discipline into innocent children.
Unfortunately for this PC podge, he is also the latest cop caught on camera and made famous by Youtube.
On the video, the officer, Salvatore Rivieri, puts the boy in a headlock, pushes him to the ground, questions his upbringing, threatens to "smack" him and repeatedly accuses the youngster of showing disrespect because the youth refers to the officer as "man" and "dude." reports the Baltimore Sun.
"I'm talking to you, can you hear me? Don't get defensive with me son, cos you'll spend some time in juvenile." Rivieri yells.
"OK, i didn't hear you." 14 year old Eric Bush replies.
"Don't get defensive with me, you backed off me, i'm not your father, you keep that attitude for your father, you give it to me, I'll smack you upside the head." Rivieri fires back.
As young Eric tries to respond, Rivieri loses it "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I'M TALKING" he bawls, clearly frightening the boys as one of them tell Eric to stop answering back.
Rivieri then marches over to Eric and grabs at his skateboard while wrestling him to the floor by the neck.
"SIT DOWN, I AM NOT A DUDE" the portly enforcer cries.
Skateboarding AND calling an officer "dude", young Eric certainly does seem to be the scourge of decency and a potential Al Qaeda member.
"I didn't do anything" the child pleads.
"When I'm talking to you, you shut your mouth and listen. First of all you disrespected me, my badge and this department."
No Salvatore, I think you did a pretty good job of that all by yourself.
"Obviously, your parents don't put a foot in your butt quite enough, because you don't understand the meaning of respect. First of all, you better learn how to speak. I'm not 'man.' I'm not 'dude,' I am Officer Rivieri. The sooner you learn that, the longer you are going to live in this world. Because you go around doing this kind of stuff and somebody is going to kill you." Rivieri froths.
Rivieri addresses the person with the camera, saying, "You got that camera on? If I find myself on ... " The video cuts off before Rivieri finishes his sentence.

Common treatment for women in US jails
This is absolutely nothing unusual about women being stripped naked and left without covering of any kind in cold jail cells for hours at a time.
It's a popular humiliation technique used in corrupt police departments throughout the country.
If it weren't for this video, a TV local station's news report, and the Internet, no one would know that this particular event ever happened.
Keep in mind that this woman called the police for help after she was assaulted.
The piece of self-propelled human garbage who runs this Sheriff's Department is Timothy A. Swanson.
He says - and I quote - that the thugs who work for him "did everything by the book.

Lawrenceburg Indiana, Police Department
Police say they're going to "try" to help
Here's a suggestion Asst. Chief Dan Combs...
You and the rest of the morons who destroyed this woman's home dig into your own pockets and replace every damaged item and then go in there and personally clean the place up.
Think about it. They shot up an apartment in a high density housing complex full of military grade tear gas. Then went in and vandalized the house from top to bottom.
The wrong house and have left a woman and her two young children homeless.
The gutless wonder who didn't even have the decency to apologize to this woman is Gene Hunefeld, Chief of Police of Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Their phone number is 812-537-2284

Man Shoots Burglars Who Were Breaking in to Neighbor's House
<b> UPDATE Is as of July 1st - Joe Horn (shooter) has been cleared in the shooting deaths of suspected burglars...</b>
Texas is not the best state to live in if you're in the business of robbing houses. A Texas man pumps three rounds into 2 burglars with a 12 guage shotgun when he sees them breaking into his neighbor's house.
Anyone who decides to break into a house knows he risks two things:
1) the owner will shoot you.
or
2) The neighbor will shoot you.
They gambled, they lost.

Sheffield Lake, Ohio - Handcuffed Woman Tased in Police Station
A Sheffield Lake woman who gained local notoriety last year when she was shot with a Taser at the Sheffield police station pleaded no contest Thursday to beating her boyfriend and attempting to load a shotgun while drunk over the summer.
Kristina Fretter, 32, will not be sentenced to additional jail time because she has spent the past 55 days at the Oriana House, a lockdown alcohol treatment facility in Akron, according to defense attorney Kenneth Nelson.
Fretter has been sober since Aug. 8, the day after the incident, Nelson said.
Fretter was charged with handling a firearm while intoxicated and domestic violence in August following the violent spat with her live-in boyfriend, Brendon Naylon, who is also the father of her 6-year-old daughter. The child was upstairs sleeping when the fight occurred.
Officers found a Winchester Model 12 pump shotgun with two 12-gauge shells next to it on a couch. Fretter was so intoxicated she couldn’t get the shells into the gun, which is why she didn’t face more serious charges, police said.
Naylon told officers that when he came home from work about 9 p.m., he and Fretter began arguing about scratches she found on Naylon’s face, and Fretter threw a glass candle holder at him, striking him on the head.
The two began wrestling. Naylon tried to hold her down and Fretter pounding and scratching at him, police said. Naylon walked outside, but when he returned to the home minutes later, he found Fretter trying to load the shotgun, according to the report. He escaped outside again and found officers.
Fretter also pleaded no contest Thursday to a DUI charge from a separate incident in June in Sheffield.
Fretter has an additional DUI charge pending in Avon Lake.
In each of those incidents, Fretter was uncooperative with police, according to reports.
Last November, she was stunned with a Taser while in handcuffs in the Sheffield Police Department booking room after being picked up for drunken driving. The officer who fired the Taser, Edward Long, resigned, and charges were dropped against Fretter in exchange for her promise not to sue the village.
Fretter’s daughter is in Naylon’s care pending a custody hearing.

High-Tech Drones Joining Miami Police Force
MIAMI -- The Miami-Dade police department will begin experimenting with high-tech drones as law enforcement tools beginning next year.
Although the military has been using unmanned aircraft systems for years, this will be the first time they are used in law enforcement.
"We are aware it is a great responsibility. The FAA is looking at us to see if we can professionally manage this program," said Lt. Cliff Nelson of the police department's aviation unit.
Miami-Dade police said only licensed pilots with the aviation unit will operate the devices because the airspace in the county is so busy.
Only the Miami-Dade police department and the Houston police department were given permission by the FAA to experiment with the drones.
"The capability of the unit is phenomenal," said Miami-Dade Detective Juan Villalba.
The unmanned aircraft will be used during SWAT team and tactical operations, especially when officers need video of a heavily armed suspect.
The Miami-Dade police department has not yet taken possession on its drone, but the Houston police department has and is already conducting tests.
Miami-Dade hopes to use grant money to pay for the MAV. Officials said the units are pricey. Depending on the complexity of the system, they can cost several thousand dollars to more than a million.

What is Houston planning to do with drone planes?
When neighbors noticed black trucks, satellite dishes, swirling radars, and "a portable launch pad, with something covered up" on a Waller County Ranch, they had no idea what to think. CNN's Houston affiliate KPRC has partially solved the mystery: Houston police plan to start using unmanned drone aircraft. But, a question still remains: what, exactly, will the drones be used for?
The mood surrounding Waller County Ranch was highly secretive. At the entrance to the test site stood a Houston police road block, making sure only those invited were let through. HPD lieutenants refused to answer any questions from KPRC reporters, but KPRC still managed to gain footage of the "test [we] were not supposed to see."
"[The] drone was able to use a high-powered camera to track us," says Stephen Dean, who tracked the drone for KPRC. "Those cameras can actually look into people's homes or even follow them in moving cars."
Drone Planes are not new to the United States. The military has been using drones for secret war zone surveillance for years; drones were also used to put out the California wildfires last month. The drones used for the test in Houston weigh only 40 pounds, but can carry 15 pounds more in gear. They are able to stay airborn 15 to 24 hours without landing.
According to Dean, the fact that Houston police will be able to employ such high tech security devices raises "all sorts of new questions." One question: how will law enforcers will utilize the drones? A policeman conducting a search needs probable cause or a warrant -- will drone planes adhere to the same laws?
When the HPD realized their "secret test" was being filmed, they "hustled together" a news conference.
"I wasn't ready to publicize this," said Martha Montalvo, the executive assistant police chief.
She said that potential public safety applications include "mobility, evacuations, homeland security, search and rescue, as well as tactical."
Montalvo said that it was "too early to tell" what else HPD will do with the aircraft.
Police helicopter pilots said the entire air space surrounding the test site was restricted and, according to Dean, "threatened ... two investigative pilots with action from the FAA if [they] didn't leave."
But, when KPRC checked with the FAA, they learned there never was a flight restriction.
For Dean, that leaves some wonder "whether the police are now ready to use terrorism fears since 911 to push the envelope further into our private lives."
"We've seen that some of these technologies that are being used in the aftermath of 9/11 that we thought were necessary to protect our security in that time are now being used to diminish privacy in other contexts," said an unidentified male filmed by KPRC. "And that is extremely worrisome."

Utah highway Patrol Tasering incident
<B>UPDATE: March 11, 2008</B>
A Vernal man shocked twice with a Taser during a traffic stop last year has accepted a $40,000 settlement in a lawsuit filed against the state and a Utah Highway Patrol trooper.
<B>UPDATE: 12-01-07 Utah Highway Patrol: “Reasonable” to Taser Motoroist for Not Signing Ticket </B>
A man was tased and arrested on a Utah highway after being stopped by an officer and refusing to sign a speeding ticket because he did not understand what offence he had committed or why he had been pulled over.
The encounter, captured on the police car camera on September 14th and released this week, is the latest in a long string of incidents involving the unacceptable use of Tasers by officers on citizens whom the evidence reveals are in no way threatening, acting unlawfully or resisting co-operation.
The video shows the Utah Highway Patrolman pull over Jared Massey and his pregnant wife who also had their baby with them in the car and ask for Mr Massey's license.
Mr Massey tells the officer he does not understand why he has been stopped or what he is being charged with, at which point the officer orders Massey to get out of the car. The officer then puts down his clipboard and immediately takes out his Taser and points it at Mr Massey without any provocation whatsoever, yelling "Turn around and put your hands behind your back" as Massey attempts to point out the speed limit sign and engage the officer in conversation.
