News report, he had to pull his pants up and we have another dead person because police training says to kill people when their pants fall down.

Sad comment from an Ex-cop. A cop's job is to protect the innocent, not shoot them!

Specifics? Suggest you read that report! A 6 year old a danger to 4 armed cops is hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

How can you justify that reckless killing?

How can you justify that reckless killing?

You justify it by having a Perjury, er Police Protection Union and the radical extreme left wingnut position that employees must be 100% safe at all costs. Then you write rules that permit lethal force at the slightest hint, even imaginary ones, of danger. Then you train officers to shoot first perjure later.

Ronnie was right about unions when he dumped PATCO. Trump needs to do the same to all the civil service unions.

One really does have to salute brave & intelligent cops

Since there are over 25,000 arrests per day (many for small possession of marijuana). There are relatively few Officers who should not be in a position of authority.

Correctly dismissing in this discussion. The Anti Intellectual Political and Ideological attacks against the vast majority of Officers. The most important questions are:

#1 - Since all testing has its flaws. How do weed out the relatively few. Who should not be in a position of authority?

#2 - Do we finally legalize, as with liquor, marijuana nationally?

The police force in many countries are f***d upped.

Kameron wasn’t deliberately shot. He was just “collateral damage” in America’s militarized police war on the public — killed inadvertently by a deputy’s bullet which had missed its intended target (an unarmed woman), instead penetrating the flimsy wall of the trailer and the soft abdomen of the little kid who was playing peacefully by himself inside.

How many police "officers" always claim that the suspects are acting threatful?
To me it's not very nice beeing said of a policeman that I should soil my pants when walking with my dog Tosca,
It took THREE officers to "arrest" me being "threatful" walking in a public space.
Luckily swedish police officers don't use guns to resolve matters.

Just your and the other poster's attempt to justify your attacks against the vast majority of Law Enforcement. With untruthful, personal, malicious and vicious attacks.

Since when has 4 armed cops been the total law enforcement of the United States?
That can be said of those 4 "brave & intelligent" numpties.

A Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy has been arrested for allegedly agreeing to provide security during the delivery of narcotics from the Southland to Vegas in exchange for money.

Deputy Kenneth Collins was arrested by FBI agents Tuesday morning along with three other men.

The arrest took place in Pasadena, where Collins and the three others were allegedly getting ready to provide "security" for the transport 45 pounds of cocaine, more than 13 pounds of methamphetamine and cash to Las Vegas, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Authorities said the three thought they were going to do the job in exchange for $250,000. This fee was negotiated during an undercover FBI investigation, in which Collins allegedly said he and his team would take calculated steps to prevent legitimate law enforcement from intercepting the drugs

An affidavit outlines an earlier scheme in November, in which Collins agreed to accept $25,000 in payment for providing security during the transport of what they thought were 6 kilograms of methamphetamine, as well as marijuana and counterfeit cigarettes in another trip to Las Vegas from the Los Angeles area, the Justice Department press release stated.

In the November scheme, authorities said Collins provided a team of three: Collins drove in a car behind the transport vehicle, another man drove ahead of the transport vehicle to scout for law enforcement and the third accompanied an undercover agent driving the drug transport vehicle.

The transport went smoothly, and that's when Collins wanted responsibility for a larger shipment. So, on Jan. 5, the undercover agent and Collins agreed on the Pasadena transport.

Collins, David Easter, 51, of the Hyde Park and Grant Valencia, 34, of Pomona, were charged in a federal criminal complaint filed last week.
In justifying the high fees for his services, Collins allegedly told an undercover FBI agent "we're cops" and "all of our transports make it through."

The fourth man, Maurice Desi Font, 56, of South Los Angeles, is expected to be charged by federal prosecutors in a second criminal complaint on Tuesday.

"Deputy Collins sold his badge to assist an individual he thought was a drug trafficker," said United States Attorney Nicola T. Hanna. "The deputy allegedly used his status as a law enforcement officer as a guarantee when he promised safe travels for large quantities of illegal narcotics. This case is part of our long-standing and ongoing commitment to root out corruption, particularly when it involves sworn law enforcement officers."

Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell said the news of the deputy's arrest was "tragic" for law enforcement and the communities served by deputies.

"I guess if you look at it from a system standpoint, the system worked. We found out about criminal misconduct, caused an investigation to be done, worked with our federal partners and then ended up with what we saw today with an indictment," McDonnell said.

According to the affidavit, the FBI had been investigating Collins in relation to a scheme to accept cash payments for providing security for illegal marijuana grow facilities, as well as assisting in the distribution of controlled substances.

An undercover FBI agent, who was posing as a family member of a wealthy investor looking to finance an illegal marijuana grow house, first met with Collins in August 2017, authorities said.

Collins offered to provide security for an illegal marijuana grow house and claimed to have three "teams" that already provided security for drug operations across San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties.

During one of the meetings with the undercover FBI agent, Collins displayed his sheriff's department badge and lifted his shirt to reveal a firearm hidden in his waistband, which investigators believed was to emphasize that he was a law enforcement officer and his services, therefore, were more valuable to a drug organization.

Over the course of several meetings, Collins also offered to "fix problems" for the undercover agent, including by physically assaulting people, in exchange for cash, authorities said.

The affidavit stated that Collins claimed to have a "team" comprised of "cops" who "travel...with guns." He described how he and two others recently "handled" a situation for a "client" in Boston by setting a luxury truck on fire.

During a meeting in September, the undercover agent told Collins that he was having an "issue" with a person in Northern California. In exchange for $2,000, Collins performed and delivered a "work-up" on that person, which included obtaining that person's home address and driver's license number, according to the affidavit.

When Collins delivered the "work-up" in early October, the deputy allegedly said that he could provide additional services in relation to that individual: "We can definitely, you know, kind of impact him a little bit," the affidavit stated.

All four men, who are charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, were expected to make their first court appearances Tuesday afternoon in United States District Court in downtown Los Angeles.

If convicted of the drug trafficking conspiracy alleged in the criminal complaints, each defendant would face a sentence of up to life in prison.

A nine-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, whose last assignment was with the Valley Traffic Division, was arrested last week on suspicion of workers’ compensation fraud, authorities said.

Jason Gordon, 48, of Los Angeles County was arrested on Jan. 17 on a felony arrest warrant related to workers’ compensation fraud and attempted perjury, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Gordon is the second LAPD employee to be arrested on suspicion of committing workers comp fraud.

Gerald Pully, who was last assigned to the LAPD’s Records and Identification Division, was arrested on Jan. 11, on suspicion of exaggerating the extent of his injuries while receiving benefits from the police department on Jan. 11, authorities said.

Pully, 51, was an 18-year city employee who filed a medical compensation claim in 2016.

As with Local Law Enforcement?

ROTFLMAO
Local Law Enforcement scrambled its radios so the local news media can't oversee them anymore. The moment ordinary government has to be conducted in secret you know it has reached total corruption.

How about State Governors each choose one Commissioner.

Prosecutors filed charges Wednesday against a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy accused of unlawful sex with six female inmates at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood last year, authorities said.

Giancarlo Scotti, a 31-year graduate of San Pedro High School and a 10-year sheriff’s department veteran, faces six felony counts of sexual activity with a detainee in a detention facility, as well as two misdemeanor counts of the same, according to District Attorney’s Office spokesman Greg Risling.
