NEW YORK, NY — As if it’s not bad enough that cops have to watch their backs on the streets, every now and then, some malcontent decides it’s time to mess with the policeman’s gear. Don’t believe me, see for yourself in this clip, where one Michael Cephus attacks an NYPD officer’s night stick again and again with his legs and shins. And for good measure, Cephus whacks the officer’s stick with his ass right at the end there. It just goes to show that once you get one of these street criminal types going, they won’t know when to leave well enough alone.

PROVIDENCE, RI – During a labor union demonstration, some officers were attacked by protesters. One protestor was so vicious in her assault of the cops that her own knee was severely dislocated by her violent outbursts targeting peace officers.

Providence RI, Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) march on Jackies Galaxy, a local restaurant chain supplied by HWH/Dragonland in NYC, a supplier notorious for slave labor conditions and a lack of basic labor rights. A few blocks before finishing the march North Providence police brutally tackled two of the marches after they moved to the sidewalk too slowly, both were arrested and one suffered a badly broken leg in the attack.

SAN MARCOS TX – Congrats to Officer Paul Stephens, who has his priorities straight in an increasingly upside-down world. Looks like he pulled over some speeders who gave him some cock-and-bull story about the dog in their car having some kind of veternary emergency. Sure, he could have handled it some other way, but Officer Stephens knew that raising revenue is the number one job of police departments everywhere – so he kept the couple pulled over on the side of the road for twenty minutes, writing up a speeding ticket.

Sure, the dog died while waiting for him, but look at it like this: they’ll save on the vet bill.

San Marcos police are investigating an officer who stopped a car to an emergency veterinary clinic, then kept the occupants waiting while their poodle died.

Michael Gonzalez was allegedly driving 95 miles per hour when he and girlfriend Krystal Hernandez were stopped early August 5th as they headed south on Interstate 35 toward the New Braunfels clinic. Missy, their teacup poodle, died while the pair said they waited 20 minutes for Officer Paul Stephens to issue a ticket.

Says San Marcos Police Chief Howard Williams, “This was not our finest hour.” Williams said the department began an investigation after Gonzalez filed a complaint over the incident.

Gonzalez and Hernandez said they pleaded with Stephens to allow them to continue on and later turn themselves in to be ticketed. They also said they offered for Gonzalez to stay behind while Hernandez drove with Missy to New Braunfels.

Hernandez said Stephens responded: “Chill out, it’s just a dog, you can buy another one.”

Bob loses his sidearm in a sensitive area.

GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. – Yet another case of street violence making victims out of cops: In this video, we can clearly see Deputy Brian Tollison being viciously attacked by one 18-year-old Jeremy Rucker. Thirteen times Rucker strikes the Deputy’s fist with his face while surrounding officers stand watch, alert for any further attacks. Later, Rucker won’t quit and lashes out at a Deputy’s shoe with the back of his head. Dedicated, hardened criminals never know when to pack it in.

MIAMI – Eyewitnesses claim Miami Police used a taser several times on an unarmed man named Kenneth Oliver, resulting in his death. Of course, alla you liberal ACLU types will ignore the man’s “long criminal record” in this story. Sure, he didn’t have a rap on him for the last eight years, but you can’t be too careful with these career criminal types, can you?

A South Florida man has died after, witnessed said, police used a Taser on him early Friday morning.

The incident occurred around 3:30 a.m. in the area of Southwest 107th Avenue and 146th Terrace. According to a witness, Kenneth Oliver was under the influence, knocking on people’s doors, while screaming for help.

Someone called police to the scene who tried to get the 45-year-old to comply but were unable to. “When the police came, I told them, you know, ‘He’s under the influence, so you guys should be careful,’” said Paul Severence, a neighbor who witnessed the incident.

According to Severence, police told Oliver to get down and put his hands behind his back. Apparently, Oliver didn’t put his hands behind his back quick enough and Severence said he watched police use a Taser three times. “They Tased him three different times. They just kept Tasing him. I told the police, ‘You’re going to kill that man,’ so after they did it a third time, I just walked away,” said Severence.

Severence said his friend saw police shock Oliver a fourth time.

Edwin Oliver said his brother has pins in his shoulders, which make it too difficult to put his arms behind his back.

DENVER – Back in April during the home opener of the Colorado Rockies, two undecover Denver cops, Michael Cordova and James Costigan suffered a savage attack at the hands of 58-year-old bicyclist John Heeney.

Heeney attacked the officer’s knees and elbows repeatedly with his head as well as holding down one officer’s forearm with his chin and throat. Heeney was charged with 2nd Degree Assault on a police officer, right up until the lousy liberal district attorney saw the below videotape and dropped the charges.

DAYTON, OH – Officers knocking at the door of one Denise Harris, a blind cancer sufferer and recent crime victim, somehow found the fine art of conversation wasn’t enough to avoid an altercation requiring a stun gun and handcuffs. Is there no end to the threat these disabled desperadoes pose to the boys in blue?

Family members are angry and speaking out after Dayton police used a stun gun on a woman who is blind and suffering from cancer. Police said they were looking for a suspect when they knocked on Denise Harris’s door Thursday morning. But according to both police and witnesses, things quickly got out of hand and Harris was tased.

“She was able to force herself down on to the floor and not be cooperative, grabbing on to the detective. A taser was dry stunned onto her arm to control her hand movement, then she was cuffed,” said Sgt. Charles Anderson.

Her family said she was yelling at officers because she was scared.

“She was terrified. She was extremely terrified,” said Harris’s niece, Dionna. “She was scared because the person identified themselves as a police officer. But she’s been robbed before by someone using the same technique.”

They said police used unnecessary force when officers came to the Fernwood Avenue apartment looking for Harris’s son, who is wanted. Officers said Harris attacked a detective.

“She’s blind and they pulled her off her Futon, handcuffed her and tased her because he said she swung at him. She can’t see,” said Harris’s sister Elvita Harris. “I’m very frustrated and upset. Dayton police need to implement a sensitivity program.”

LONGMONT, COLORADO – One Andrew Libby was picked up by the Logmont cops for allegedly impersonating a police detective with a fake badge. So what was his master plan? Was he gonna impress the ladies? Go to bars and push people around? Shake down local vendors for coffee and danish?

Not exactly.

Police on Tuesday searched the home of a local sword and blade maker suspected of impersonating a police detective and demanding pornographic videos at a local adult novelty store last month.

Police believe 33-year-old Andrew Libby used a fake badge to try to get the clerks to give him the X-rated DVDs. Officers arrested him Tuesday morning without incident outside of his home at 1045 Pratt St. in Longmont on suspicion of two counts of impersonating a police officer, child neglect, possession of a weapon by a previous offender, possession of an illegal weapon, possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Porn. At a store. Somebody oughta explain to Mr. Libby what a cable modem is.

WASHINGTON, DC: After reading this Washington Post story on GPS tracking by cops, I see some people got nothing better to do with their time than whine about how us cops have “too much power”. Alla you ACLU types had better get this straight: we do what we want to whoever we want whenever we want. And when there’s new technology like GPS out there, we don’t even need a warrant to use it.

You gotta problem widdat?

Across the country, police are using GPS devices to snare thieves, drug dealers, sexual predators and killers, often without a warrant or court order. Privacy advocates said tracking suspects electronically constitutes illegal search and seizure, violating Fourth Amendment rights of protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, and is another step toward George Orwell’s Big Brother society. Law enforcement officials, when they discuss the issue at all, said GPS is essentially the same as having an officer trail someone, just cheaper and more accurate. Most of the time, as was done in the Foltz case, judges have sided with police.

With the courts’ blessing, and the ever-declining cost of the technology, many analysts believe that police will increasingly rely on GPS as an effective tool in investigations and that the public will hear little about it. Last year, FBI agents used a GPS device while investigating an embezzlement scheme to steal from District taxpayers, attaching one to a suspect’s Jaguar.

“I’ve seen them in cases from New York City to small towns — whoever can afford to get the equipment and plant it on a car,” said John Wesley Hall, president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. “And of course, it’s easy to do. You can sneak up on a car and plant it at any time.”
