According to the Huffington Post, an entire Miami-Dade Police squad in Kendall has been disciplined — several of the officers, fired — after what CBS Miami reports is one of the worst dereliction of duty cases in the department’s history.
One officer, Dario Socarras, was filmed drinking coffee for nine minutes while allegedly ignoring emergency dispatch orders on a call for an unconscious 5-month-old baby, Local10 reports.
His supervisor, Sgt. Jennifer Gonzalez, was sitting at the cafe with Socarras — and was also recorded shopping while on duty at stores like Target and Lowes, brushing off work to rendezvous with her boyfriend, and visiting her parents in Cutler Ridge when she should have been on the job, according to CBS.
Socarras was also filmed twice kissing and spending time with a girlfriend in the parking lot of the Dadeland mall, allegedly while ignoring calls for armed robbery and burglary — forcing officers from other units to respond from greater distances.
The squad was surveilled by Internal Affairs investigators, who used video cameras and GPS vehicle trackers to document what members were doing while they should have been responding to calls.
“We’re talking about falsification of records, we’re talking about stealing time that doesn’t belong to you, because they are supposed to be available for service or duty and they’re not,” said former Miami Police Chief Ken Harms.
Altogether, five officers and Sgt. Gonzalez were allegedly caught ignoring dispatch calls, according to media reports. NBC6 confirms Socarras, Gonzalez, and Officer Jose Huerta have been fired, according to MDPD internal affairs documents, and others have been disciplined.

I’m sure the officers mentioned above have spent countless hours harassing people for victim-less “crimes,” but it seems they have made a serious effort to avoid performing the only services that I would actually voluntarily pay for: protection from violence and assistance in emergency situations. There will not be proper customer service so long as ‘customers’ are coerced into paying for the services. -Kate
Awesome, I can’t stop laughing, what’s an armed robbery call in exchange for some face time with your sweetie. Ha ha ha, cya.
By the way, looks like MDPD will he hiring a few more, well, probably not, they have 3000 cops.
Remember when the cops said it was just one bad apple, ok so maybe two bad apples, strike that three bad apples, alright so an entire SQUAD of bad apples, oh no an entire squad PLUS a supervisor turned out to be bad apples. How many more bad apples? Or bad apple squads? Or how many other cops knew about the bad apple squad and did nothing? So many bad apples. Or…all bad apples.
If it were your stupid ass getting robbed, I bet you wouldn’t find it quite so funny.
i cant figure out if officer common is laughing at the cops or the citizens.
Didnt you get the memo? The police do not see the citizenry as actual people. Just milk cows. That is why they laugh.

When you see common sense, t., underoath, psosgt and all the other shills spew their boot-licking propaganda here on Cop Block, remember, THIS IS WHO THEY ARE, THIS IS WHAT THEY STAND FOR, AND THIS IS WHAT THEY DEFEND!
Wichita KS police officer Officer Joseph T. McGill, 28, was convicted today of committing a sexual act on a 3-month-old child and a 1-year-old child. Officer McGill pleaded guilty in January 2012 in an unrelated case to sexual battery while on duty as a police officer and was sentenced to three years probation. Those charges stemmed from separate incidents in November 2010 and February 2011. The judge set sentencing for March 1. — http://www.kansas.com/2013/01/24/2649372/former-police-officer-convicted.html
this is typical .
bet if a call came in reporting someone smelling pot comming from a house he would have dropped that bimbo like she was hot and been gone! and zapee senseless laughs because that is what insane people do, someone should give him a coloring book and some crayons
I’m pretty sure common was making fun of the idiot cops.
The sooner the serfs realize that the cops are absolutely under no legal obligation whatsoever to respond to the serfs’ calls for assistance the sooner we can bury the notion that they cops are here to ‘protect and serve’ NO ONE but THE STATE. Period.
Hey COMMON,
Hire me buddy, I would love to get into internal affairs. I would be biggest ASS HOLE on the force. You and I could be friends. I wouldn’t be righting tickets to hard working citizens and lying about the stop, I would be sticking it to corrupt pigs who think they are above the law. I got military intelligence experience, interviewing, investigating, research, surveillance, college graduate, physically fit, and READY TO BEAT SOME COPS DOWN. I would say I’m a perfect candidate for YOUR department. Where you at buddy and I will be there………….
GGGGGLLLLLLEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN,
I got you man,

NEVER CALL THE COPS, NEVER TALK TO THE COPS, NEVER TRUST THE COPS, TRUST THE GUN ITS ONLY THING YOU CAN COUNT ON………………..
ha ha ha, military intelligence, that explains alot.
as always, know your place citizen.
Not sure why keeping your ass safe from terrorist is funny, but I have been recruited by many fine establishment police forces when I left the Army. Private sector much more profitable and less stressful. And as always Mr. Sense, I know my place in society, you know productive, and all that good shit. Not unlike you, who is leach on the private sector. I will and forever always have so much more honor, integrity, perseverance, an indomitable spirit and self control than you will ever have……..I will have pride knowing that I am not a coward, but hey, we know your fat doughnut eating ass has never gotten up at the sound of gunfire and fought off 30 insurgents and not loose one man. LOL, PUSSY…….
Film every cop you see shopping and ask if on duty….
Whatever you have to tell yourself to validate your slot in society.
And exactly what terrorist did you keep me safe from? The dirt farmer who wipes his ass with his own hand? The one that screws the casual donkey? Was he going to be smuggled into my building with his sucide vest?
Oh wait, I bet is some top secret shit. Nevermind.
COMMON YOUR STUPID, NO ONE TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY AND BY YOUR LATEST COMMENTS IT EASY TO SEE WE ARE GETTING TO YOU. OH BY THE WAY, MADE YOUR FAT ASS MOM LICK MY BUTTHOLE TODAY. LOL, SHE TOSSED MY SALAD THERE BUDDY. SHE’S A FREAK.
This story is COMPLETELY FALSE!!!!!!!!
LOL Cause according to this site….cops don’t have the ability to investigate “their own” and then fire them……
They can fire a few if it means appeasing the moneybag holder and you know that.
Then you have shitbag wannabe cops like Common, shaved his head an Everything, but the academy wouldn’t take him… Sorry…
This is a very common ocurance though, the cops in a town near me (11-12 piggies) had to fire the chief, assistant chief and 2-3 officers for, well nobody knows cuz they let them technically quit so they didn’t investigate and therefore didn’t have to report to the citizens why… Something about property room abuses…
Just your average shitbags like Common. Oh, that reminds me, tell you mom I can’t make her gangbang video so she will need to find another rancher with a horse she can borrow. Sorry for the short notice.
