Cops hand out malware. For the children.
QUOTE ComputerCop allows parents to have those recorded online chats emailed to them. The emails, however, are sent through third-party servers without encryption, the EFF found. EFF researcher Dave Maass called the lack of encryption "troubling" because it make it possible for a bad actor to snoop on conversations if the child's computer is connected to a public Wi-Fi network.
They're really, really there to serve and protect you. No, seriously.

Workers at state's Attorney General's office putting in long, hard hours.

Attorney under investigation for rape. Why is this interesting? The attorney in question is handling a police brutality case where the cops killed someone trying to take them into custody.
I'm sure it's pure coincidence.

Cops pepper spray a dude for suspected burglary. Â Except it was his home.
QUOTE The cops accused Deshawn of not belonging, pointing to the pictures on the mantle with the Tyler’s biological children, where Deshawn – not one for photos – wasn’t featured, the news station notes.
Sprayed after the cops figured the black dude in the house was trying to fuck with them, claiming he's a foster child. Â Obviously bullshit.
QUOTE "My 5-year-old last night, she looked at me and said, 'Mama I don't understand why they hated our brother, and they had to come in and hurt him,'" Stacy Tyler said.
Oops.
QUOTE Police officers released a statement claiming that DeShawn was threatening and belligerent and refused to comply with orders.
If someone accused me of stealing things from my own house, I might do the same. Â Why'd the cops show in the first place?
QUOTE ...after he was reported as a burglar by a mistaken neighbor...
Definitely cause to bust into someone's home and assault them with a caustic chemical. Â Don't want to get sprayed? Â Shouldn't be fucking caught in your family's house. Â It's that simple.

If he didn't insist on being black in a white neighborhood that wouldn't have happened.

Considering the general lack of giving a shit by the detective when I was broken into 5 years ago or so, I ain't going to fuss about them questioning someone for something like that.

Burglaries of a private residence aren't investigated at all in Houston. Â When I was robbed the cop that showed up four hours after I called spent 30 seconds looking at my apartment then filled out a form for me to give my insurance company as their official "police report". Â I showed him where there were clear fingerprints on some glass and he chuckled and explained that investigating burglaries is not something the police do anymore. Â They just create the report for the insurance company, that's it.

Memphis police used to be like that. I don't know what happened, but they will at least take prints now if you can point out where you think someone might have touched. The detectives still don't seem to care, but the uniformed officer they send will take prints.

Perhaps, but as someone that deals with the perceptions of customers... appearing to care goes a long ways.

Not nearly as much as doing your job and trying to get the items back. Â Buddy of mine had his bike stolen. Â Went to the cops to report it. Â They sent him to the bike theft unit (yeah, we have one of those). Â They promptly took down his info and descriptions and told him they weren't going to spend any time looking. Â If they happen to find his bike as part of some other raid or seizure, they'll get it back to him. Â But fuck putting out real effort or energy to find stolen property. Â There are speeders, non-violent drug offenders, and people selling untaxed cigarettes working to take down the very fabric of our society. Â Appearing to care without backing it up is a condescending way to treat someone. Â It's more of a "fuck you" than being honest up front and saying, "You are literally not important enough for us to care. As long as you're a victim. When you're a perp, though, then fuck you and your wallet extra hard."

The present, as predicted in 1980.

I got a call on my cell from one of the thieves a week later. I didn't even bother to tell the police and give them the number, because they wouldn't have done anything anyway.

Woman released after over a decade and a half of wrongful time served.
QUOTE The witness who claimed she heard Mellen confess was June Patti, who had a long history of giving false tips to law enforcement, according to documents in the case. She died in 2006.
Good enough evidence for the cops, I guess. Â Their diligence deserves commendation. Â Ah well, there was no testimony that contradicts her.
QUOTE Three gang members subsequently were linked to the crime, and one was convicted of the killing. Another took a polygraph test and said he was present at Daly's killing, and Mellen was not there.
The entire California justice system: slightly worse at connecting dots than your average preschooler. Wow. So this woman fabricated evidence that led to someone's unjust arrest and conviction? Surprised she wasn't on the force.
I'm sure everyone involved in this cavalcade of idiocy will be properly disciplined. Â Probably with pay. Â Wish I could fuck up someone's life for 17 years and not suffer the consequences.

I would contend that this one is less about cops being dicks and more about prosecutors being dicks.
