This week, a couple stories that should cause anyone critically thinking to see that those wearing badges aren’t always operating with the best intentions.
Story #1
Massachusetts Police Officer Faces Rape Charge in Polk
http://www2.tbo.com/news/breaking-news/2013/feb/28/massachusetts-police-officer-faces-rape-charge-in-ar-646079/
A Lawrence, Massachusetts police officer is accused by public officials of raping a teenage girl last summer in Haines City, Florida.
A Haines City police detective flew to Massachusetts this past week to arrest Officer Carlos Gonzalez. Gonzalez was jailed in Lawrence with no bail set.
He faces charges of committing sexually battery on a juvenile between the ages of 12 and 18 and giving alcohol to a person younger than 21.
The teen told investigators she was raped July 22, 2012 in a private home. Haines City police said Gonzalez was on vacation in Florida at the time.
The investigation, which is ongoing, began after the Lawrence Police Department received a complaint.
Gonzalez, who has been a police officer since May of 1988, was arrested at the Massachusetts School of Law in Andover, where he is studying to be a lawyer.

West Sacramento Police Officer in Custody in Sex Assault, Kidnap Charges

In other news, a police officer in West Sacramento, California has been arrested for assault and kidnapping charges involving a half dozen women in the West Capitol Avenue area.
The West Sacramento police department called an unusual 7 p.m. press conference to announce that Officer Sergio Alvarez, who had been at the West Sacramento Police Department since 2007, allegedly had carried out the acts while performing uniformed patrol duties.
The investigation identified six female victims ranging in age from 20 to 47 years old, police said.
According to the department Alvarez has received termination papers, and is in the Yolo County Jail. He was taken into custody by both the West Sacramento and Sacramento Police departments.
A news release by the department said Alvarez used his position as a police officer to stop and assault the women.
What the release failed to mention is that it is the widely accepted belief that individuals identifying as police officers are justified in initiating force that enables predators like Alvarez to detain their victims.
The allegations came to light on Sept. 24 when a uniformed police officer learned while on duty of the possible criminal conduct. Alvarez was immediately placed on administrative leave and a criminal investigation started.
An investigation was subsequently forwarded to the Yolo County District Attorney’s office. A county grand jury was convened and handed down an indictment.
West Sacramento Police Chief Dan Drummond said the “victimization of vulnerable people is despicable, but the fact that these crimes were apparently committed by a police officer under the color of authority is reprehensible.”
It is reprehensible, and unfortunately, it happens every day.

And finally, A despicable Hampton County Sheriff’s deputy in South Carolina has been indicted on charges that he molested a child while working as a school resource officer.

Heyward was fired after a male student came forward to report he had been abused on multiple occasions,
That’s this week’s Police Accountability Report brought to you by CopBlock.org.
I hope you’ll take a moment to consider just what it is that you are paying for via taxation – and speak out against the violence.
Until next week, stay safe and remember that badges don’t grant extra rights.
You people should be posting all the activists who are always getting arrested and many for the same things these officers are arrested for.
Cases involving police officers are easier to find.
@BJ, Bad news is, I think cops have always been predatory rapists, but those in the media have been reluctant to portray the police as they truly are.
The good news is, thanks to plummeting viewership of the mainstream media, as well as the exponential growth of police corruption, reports of criminal activity within law enforcement is much more likely to be reported on.
Long story short, the police have nowhere to hide, and no one to protect them anymore.
POLICE OFFICER RAPES A THREE MONTH OLD INFANT AND A ONE YEAR OLD CHILD!
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.

Seems to be far more predatory pedophiles in the ranks of the PD than even in the Catholic Church.
Must be some common personality drive in those who are driven to seek power and authority over others, but are too weak and ineffectual to do it without state “powers”.
certain you are absolutely right a very high number of them were either bullied themselves so they seek revenge or they were the bullies and want to continue the fun either way just a bunch of mental cases with a gun oh yea i feel sooo safe.
