A California police officer killed a woman during a scuffle — and now, another man who was present has been arrested in connection with her murder.

An unnamed Riverside County Sheriff’s Office deputy on patrol tried to talk to multiple people in Corona on Tuesday, according to a department statement. The subjects ran and the deputy gave chase. It’s unclear why the deputy tried to speak to the suspects.

The deputy ran after them and when he turned the corner of a woman, the man lunged at him and a fight began.


During the scuffed, the woman started to assault the deputy and he shot her. She was pronounced deceased at a local hospital. Her name has not been released.

The deputy continued to fight with the man, identified as San Diego resident Eric Nourani, before “Good Samaritans” arrived to help detain him. Police say Nourani was trying to take the deputy’s gun.

Now, Nourani has been arrested for murder, attempted murder of a peace officer, mayhem, and resisting an officer with violence, according to the department’s press release.

SOUTH BEND, IND. — She’d been told her words would make a difference, so the teenager stood before the judge and leaned toward the microphone.

She tried not to look at the man who was pleading guilty to sexually abusing her.

“You were a police officer, and you were in uniform,” she said, reading from the victim impact statement she’d spent weeks writing. “You were on duty.”

She was 16 years old when South Bend police officer Timothy Barber showed up at the Chick-fil-A where she worked in the summer of 2021. Barber, who was 20 years older, knew the girl wanted to be a police officer. He offered to give her rides home in his patrol car.

Instead, what Barber did to her in that patrol car led to him being charged with child seduction, official misconduct, public indecency and public nudity.

“My whole life I had been taught to trust police officers. I looked up to you. I listened to you. I obeyed you,” the girl said.

With the permission of the girl and her parents, The Washington Post is identifying her by her middle name, Anne.

Anne had to miss a day of high school to be at this September 2022 hearing, where a judge would decide what punishment the police officer deserved.

The investigator and prosecutor had assured Anne and her parents that Barber would be held accountable for his actions.

Anne understood what that could look like. A week earlier, when a local softball coach was convicted of molesting one of his teenage players, he’d been sentenced to 30 years in prison for abusing his power and betraying his community.

But Barber was a police officer, and his hearing was in a different courtroom with a different judge. Those details mattered, and not just in South Bend............


 
The Phoenix police department routinely discriminates against people of color and kills civilians without justification, the US Department of Justice announced in an investigative report on Thursday.

The government found a “pattern or practice” of the police department using excessive force and violating the civil rights of Black, Hispanic and Native American people.

In a first finding of its kind against any US police department, the justice department also concluded that Phoenix police unlawfully detain unhoused people and dispose of their belongings.

The justice department further uncovered police discrimination against people with behavioral health disabilities when officers are dispatched to help with people in crisis, and found that police had violated the rights of people engaged in protected speech.

The sweeping three-year-investigation into the department’s “pervasive failings” follows a steady stream of scandals surrounding police brutality and extraordinarily high rates of killings by officers in the Arizona city.

In recent years, the Guardian revealed cases of Phoenix officers attacking and injuring a young woman during a minor traffic stop; burning a teenager on hot pavement while restraining her; and facing accusations of sexual assault on the job.


The justice department said certain laws, including drug and low-level offenses, were enforced more severely by Phoenix officers against Black, Hispanic and Native American people than against white residents who engaged in the same conduct.

Investigators found that Phoenix police use “dangerous tactics that lead to force that is unnecessary and unreasonable”.……..

=============================

I was a police officer for nearly ten years and I was a bastage. We all were.

This essay has been kicking around in my head for years now and I’ve never felt confident enough to write it. It’s a time in my life I’m ashamed of. It’s a time that I hurt people and, through inaction, allowed others to be hurt. It’s a time that I acted as a violent agent of capitalism and white supremacy.

Under the guise of public safety, I personally ruined people’s lives but in so doing, made the public no safer… so did the family members and close friends of mine who also bore the badge alongside me.
But enough is enough.

The reforms aren’t working. Incrementalism isn’t happening. Unarmed Black, indigenous, and people of color are being killed by cops in the streets and the police are savagely attacking the people protesting these murders.

American policing is a thick blue tumor strangling the life from our communities and if you don’t believe it when the poor and the marginalized say it, if you don’t believe it when you see cops across the country shooting journalists with less-lethal bullets and caustic chemicals, maybe you’ll believe it when you hear it straight from the pig’s mouth.

As someone who went through the training, hiring, and socialization of a career in law enforcement, I wanted to give a first-hand account of why I believe police officers are the way they are. Not to excuse their behavior, but to explain it and to indict the structures that perpetuate it.

I believe that if everyone understood how we’re trained and brought up in the profession, it would inform the demands our communities should be making of a new way of community safety. If I tell you how we were made, I hope it will empower you to unmake us.

One of the other reasons I’ve struggled to write this essay is that I don’t want to center the conversation on myself and my big salty boo-hoo feelings about my bad choices. It’s a toxic white impulse to see atrocities and think “How can I make this about me?” So, I hope you’ll take me at my word that this account isn’t meant to highlight me, but rather the hundred thousand of me in every city in the country. It’s about the structure that made me (that I chose to pollute myself with) and it’s my meager contribution to the cause of radical justice.................

An Arizona sheriff’s deputy shot and killed seven starving and abandoned dogs at a rural property in September after giving them water, shocking footage shows.

While the Apache County Sheriff’s Office argues the deputy did nothing wrong, the incident has outraged local animal rights groups that argue the area needs to address animal hoarding.

Body cam footage shows the deputy approach the group of starving dogs behind a chain-link fence where some are sleeping and others are barking and wagging their tails. He lays out food and water for the dogs. He then proceeds to shoot and kill seven of them, the video shows. An incident report states that he subsequently dumped the remains near railroad tracks.

“Oh God. This is gonna suck,” the deputy says as the dog’s follow him inside.

He then shoots seven dogs as two flee for their lives. The shooting was pre-planned, and the deputy had told a supervisor. The deputy - who works in a county that lacks an animal care and control department - said the dogs had to be down due to their condition and lack of kennel ability.…..

I don't know what the circumstances were, but from what I've heard, in rural areas, those services aren't readily available and it's not that simple. I don't think I could ever do it, but I have definitely heard of owners putting down animals for a variety of reasons.

the internet is powerful. I guarantee he posts they need help with these dogs on Facebook, they would have had so many people and Orgs reach out. But, it seems he had already decided he was gonna kill those dogs before he even went there.

Oh I don't doubt that. There are more than a few people out in the boonies who don't have internet. That said, I would think local police would have access to all that.
 
A former Maryland police officer who was fired by four small departments in the D.C. area in less than a decade was convicted Monday of illegally pepper-spraying a motorist during a traffic stop but acquitted of a charge related to his filing of a court affidavit that prosecutors said gave a false account of the incident.


Philip Dupree, 40, was fired by three departments in Prince George’s County, including for allegedly using excessive force, before being hired by a fourth department, in the town of Fairmount Heights, where he was working when the pepper-spraying occurred on Aug. 4, 2019.

A jury in U.S. District Court in Washington convicted him Monday of violating the motorist’s civil rights with the burst of pepper spray but found him not guilty of obstructing justice.


The motorist, Torrence Sinclair, now 24, was handcuffed and shouting obscenities when Dupree pepper-sprayed him in the face at close range, defense and prosecution lawyers agreed. Dupree later asserted in a court affidavit that Sinclair had tried to bite him, which prosecutors said was untrue.

The defendant punished Mr. Sinclair because he didn’t like him mouthing off,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sanjay H. Patel said in his closing argument last week, adding, “The defendant didn’t like that [Sinclair] questioned his traffic stop.”

Patel noted that the pepper-spraying was “committed by someone with a badge and a gun, someone sworn to serve and protect the community.”……

 
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A Columbus police officer is out of a job thanks to his actions caught on bodycam during a 14-year-old boy’s arrest.

In a document dated for Tuesday, the Columbus police chief and director of public safety decided to terminate Officer Donovan Bever. They charged him with violating the division’s rule of conduct, noting abusive or violent behavior and violating its policy on use of force.

The document details multiple examples of Bever’s conduct during a Feb. 19 arrest of a 14-year-old boy as the reasoning behind his termination:

  • While arresting the teen, Bever grabbed him by his dreadlocks and “forcefully caused his head/face to strike a concrete walkway.” The facts of the case did not justify the use of force as “objectively reasonable,” according to the document.
  • Bever “forcefully pushed” the teen’s face into the concrete walkway.
  • Bever removed a phone charger and another unidentified object from the teen’s pockets during a search, then threw them at him and struck him in the face.
  • After placing the teen in handcuffs, Bever told the teen “you move, I will break your face.”
  • Making the teen stand up, Bever then escorted him by his dreadlocks to a police van.
  • While conducting another search of the teen, Bever “aggressively struck him in the groin” with his hand.


Zero intervention by the boys in blue that were on the scene, eventhough you can tell there were some of them were uncomfortable and had a "WT%" look on their faces.
