The Creme Of the Crop of Sadistic Cops

[K. Darien Freeheart]

The news story and video say it all. A sheriff shoots a dog to death while asking for directions. The news article contains footage which is not gory but DOES show the dog being killed.

The dog's owner says they tried to pay to keep her quiet, said "the officer thought he was being attacked" but changed their story once she revealed her security camera caught the situation on video.

Sad, and unfortunately all too typical. I would hope that the officer is punished properly, but that rarely happens with a human victim let alone a dog.

[les nessman]

   I wonder how many kittens that guy dismembers with a hatchet in his basement every weekend.
I've had dogs come at me before.  Pepper spray and a side step will take care of it and not result
in murdering someones pet.

[lastlady]

That dog didn't look like he was going after him, he was just a friendly doggie coming to say "hi".

I hope he feels the effect of everyone knowing his true nature.

Sick doggie killer.

[David]

The agitator posted it, I love the pet name he has for it.  Puppycide. 

[doobie]

I hope that cop gets attacked by another dog and has a hand bitten off or gets rabies.

[grasshopper]

This makes me so angry.  What an asshole, I bet he sells drugs to children, not the good stuff but PCP.

[slim]

Stopped to ask directions???? Don't the cruisers have radios that they can call the dispatch for directions?

I hope in the afterlife that cop goes through eternity of that dog chewing on his intestines and defecating in his mouth.

[Sam A. Robrin]

I hope that cop gets attacked by another dog and has a hand bitten off or gets rabies.

I'd hope he'd get attacked by a freedom fighter, but I suspect they're just plain too cowardly.

Top 10: Police Scandals, Long but seemed appropriate...  And these are the guys supposed to "protect" us?

No.10 - Cleveland Police Corruption Scandal
Beginning in 1995, dozens of Ohio cops from numerous jurisdictions operated
a police-protected drug courier ring for a group of drug runners. This "mob"
had even initiated the ringleader, Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department
officer Michael Joye, and turned him into a "made man."
It all came crashing down in 1998, however, when the FBI concluded the
largest sting in the bureau's history, leading to the arrest of 44 Ohio
cops. Ultimately, 30 were convicted, including Joye, who had described
himself and the cops he recruited as a "goon squad."

No.9 - Charles Becker Scandal
From the 1890s into the 1910s, NYPD officer Charles Becker extorted huge
sums of money from the likes of brothels with impunity, all while getting
promoted, including being named to units that investigated alleged police
corruption.

All that change when a bookmaker came forward in the press to accuse Becker
of extortion. Two days later, the bookmaker was shot to death. Although no
one claimed Becker pulled the trigger, two different juries found him guilty
of first degree murder. In 1915, he was fried in Sing Sing's electric chair,
becoming the first cop in U.S. history to be put to death for murder.

No.8 - 39th District Corruption Scandal
In 1991, veteran Philly cop John Baird coerced a confession from a black
college student by putting a gun to his head. It was Baird's twenty-third
misconduct allegation, but unlike the others, this one wasn't dismissed.
Fours years later an FBI investigation began to uncover widespread
corruption in the city's 39th District; a crackdown that sent eight cops to
prison on charges including robbery, battery, false arrest, filing false
reports, planting evidence, and perjury. Baird earned a 12-year sentence.
Lawsuits stemming from the scandal cost the city over $5 million, and
hundreds of convictions that relied on testimony from 39th District cops
were thrown out.

No.7 - The Beating Of Abner Louima
Former NYPD officer Justin Volpe's insidious beating of Abner Louima lands
on our list for its utter depravity. In 1997, NYPD officers arrested Louima
for allegedly hitting Volpe during an altercation outside a nightclub. At
the station, Volpe got his revenge by sodomizing him in the bathroom with a
broken broom handle. Afterwards he bragged to other officers and even showed
off the stick, covered in blood and feces.  Volpe got 30 years in prison,
but it gets worse: Turns out, Louima took a broom handle meant for his
cousin, the one who actually hit Volpe.

No.6 - New Orleans Killer Cop Scandal
The average salary of New Orleans cops in 1993 was the nation's lowest;
perhaps this is why some of them, including the notorious Len Davis, began
moving huge amounts of cocaine. An FBI sting put most of them behind bars,
but it was what their wiretaps incidentally picked up that blew this into a
national scandal.
After seeing Davis pistol-whip a man in custody, a woman filed a complaint
with internal affairs. Davis ordered a hit on her, and in two days she was
dead. As of 2008, Davis is on Louisiana's death row awaiting execution.

No.5 - Frank Serpico And The Knapp Commission
Few names are as closely associated with police corruption as that of former
NYPD detective Frank Serpico. For the record, Serpico was not the bad cop;
he was the brave cop whose testimony before the Knapp Commission helped blow
the lid off NYPD corruption in the early 1970s.
Serpico was just one of many officers who testified to widespread, pervasive
police corruption that included bribery, payoffs, kickbacks, and more. The
scandal led to a massive reform, a number of convictions and it forced the
police commissioner to step down.

No.4 - Miami River Cops Scandals
In the early 1980s, the bodies of three drug smugglers were found floating
in the Miami River. A lengthy investigation uncovered the worst police
scandal in the city's history. In the end, 18 Miami cops were convicted of
counts ranging from drug trafficking to murder.
One of those cops, steroid addict Armando "Scarface" Garcia, landed on the
FBI's most wanted list. He was captured in 1994, hiding out in Cali,
Colombia; which, at the time, was home to the world's most powerful cocaine
cartel.

No.3 - Robbery Ring Scandal
For at least two years, a handful of L.A.-area cops led by former LAPD
officer Ruben Palomares operated a violent home invasion/robbery ring.
Tipped off by drug dealers, they would raid homes where drugs and cash were
alleged to be, detain anyone at home and rob them blind -- even stealing
personal jewelry if they found nothing else.
In the wake of a much more highly publicized LAPD scandal, the Palomares
ring has not gotten much press, yet it features the longest prison sentence
on our list: for his part, former officer William Ferguson is serving a
whopping 102-year sentence.

No.2 - Puerto Rico Police Scandal
For a decade starting in 1972, 25 members of the Puerto Rico police
department's elite Criminal Investigations Corps also made up the island's
most powerful and brutal criminal organization. They are believed to have
carried out robberies, extortions, arsons, and murders-for-hire. It finally
came to an end in 1983 when eight members were convicted of the kidnapping
of a jeweler. The gang's violent ringleader, Alejo Maldonado, received a
40-year sentence.

No.1 - LAPD Rampart Scandal
In a place where sequels are always bigger and always worse, why should
police scandals be any different? In 1997, just as L.A. was recovering from
the Rodney King disaster, an episode of road rage between two off-duty cops
sparked an investigation that has turned into the Rampart police scandal,
dubbed "the worst man-made disaster" in L.A. history.
The years-long corruption is traced back to some members of the city's elite
CRASH anti-gang unit, who took in whopping paychecks working security at
known gang events, robbed banks, raided homes, stole drugs and money,
planted evidence, shot unarmed suspects, and committed perjury.
Related lawsuits have cost the city at least $125 million and hundreds of
convictions have been overturned or thrown out.

I hope this doggie killer gets shunned by his community, walks into an establishment and everyone goes silent and stares. I hope he then starts to feel actually sorry for what he has done and regrets his actions.  I like to see him become a human being with feelings and sensitivity, someone with empathy.

Then changes his ways and lives his life for the good of all, he then begins helping people instead of harming them. Learns to forgive himself and lives a decent life redeeming himself.   

[ColdSoul]

Nobody I hate worse than people who hurt animals for no reason. Animals are like children they can defend themselves and they deserve to be protected at kids are. If that was a kid that came running up at him he would be in jail for Murder, and be put to death by the system and no less of a fate is acceptable for him.

. . . and then a flying unicorn with a baby and a kitten on its rose-petal saddle, clutching gossamer reins, comes gliding down a moonbeam into rainbow land, and . . .

[lastlady]

Yes and we all live in Peace. The End. 

[K. Darien Freeheart]

I like to see him become a human being with feelings and sensitivity, someone with empathy.

I'm just fine and content with sociopaths who don't got around killing things. The whole "empathy" thing is a total side note.
