Cops Behaving Badly

Wednesday, December 26th, 2018

Sometimes law enforcement officers use poor judgement. This week’s examples:

  • Buying cocaine for the prostitute you’re having rough sex with may be a career-limiting move. Especially if you’re an Austin police officer.
  • From New York, an officer that failed to heed Jeff Cooper’s rules. If he had, he wouldn’t have had to fire 27 shots, including those that hit two bystanders. (Hat tip: Dwight, for both.)
  • Meanwhile, Baltimore gonna Baltimore:

    Right at the top of the department’s struggles were the racketeering convictions of eight members of its once-elite Gun Trace Task Force. Two sergeants and eight detectives robbed citizens under protection of their badges and claimed massive amounts of overtime for hours they did not work. In November, a ninth officer, former Baltimore and Philadelphia cop Eric Snell, pleaded guilty to charges that he conspired to sell drugs with the GTTF members.

    Also this: “The city surpassed 300 homicides for the fourth year in a row. It has earned the grim designation of having the worst homicide rate among the nation’s 50 largest cities last year, according to FBI data released in September.”

  • The Los Angeles Police Department, on the other hand, is dealing with a revenge porn scandal:

    A Los Angeles Police Department employee is accusing her co-worker of releasing revenge porn.

    According to KABC, Ysabel Villegas is a detective with the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division. Villegas filed a temporary restraining order against LAPD senior lead officer Danny Reedy.

    Villegas is also married to former LAPD Assistant Chief Jorge Villegas. Eyewitness News has learned he suddenly retired earlier this year after a sex scandal involving a subordinate officer.

    According to the restraining order, Ysabel Villegas claims she had a romantic relationship with Officer Danny Reedy for five years.

    She alleges in the restraining order that after their relationship ended, Reedy distributed explicit photos of her, without her consent.

    They all sound like such wonderful people.

    Caveat: Lisa Bloom is Ysabel Villegas’ attorney, so don’t assume she’s telling the truth…
