Police Misconduct Catch All Thread

Didn't she threaten to throw some boiling water at him?

No, what she did was express disapproval of the officer making the same claim you just did, after he had instructed her to approach the boiling water himself.

Army vet wins $6.8 million from jury after suing LAPD over mental health '5150' hold

Slade Douglas filed a lawsuit against the LAPD and City of Los Angeles over an August 2019 incident in which he says he was forcibly hospitalized and drugged after officers responded to a report that he might be suicidal.

When two Los Angeles police officers refused to leave his apartment during a welfare check, Slade Douglas felt he had no choice but to call 911.

The Aug. 27, 2019, encounter began after someone from the Department of Veterans Affairs incorrectly reported to authorities that Douglas may be suicidal, according to a lawsuit he later filed against the city and the two officers who responded to his door.

Douglas told police there had been a misunderstanding and that he wasn’t a danger to himself or others. But instead of leaving, the officers insisted on taking him into custody for his own safety under California’s Welfare and Institutions Code, known as a 5150 hold.


They put him in handcuffs and took him to a hospital. What followed, he said, was a nightmare of forced sedation, drug testing and the increasingly desperate attempts by the officers to justify his detainment.

Not an ICE agent. Standard LA cop now being investigated for cruelty.

Cops botch raid, sue homeowner for being mean

Still sick, but I think the congestion is clearing up. Not in a way that makes my head any less filled with sludge, but in a way that I’m not leaking as much. On an unrelated note, a funny-no…

Now, if cops were halfway decent people, were at all secure in themselves, or had a sense of humor, they’d see the funny in this, and move on. They fucked up and it made them look bad. Unfortunately, it seems that all cops are, well… They’re suing him for emotional distress and violation of privacy because he filmed them breaking into his home on a bullshit warrant, and made a music video or two with the footage:

Seven members of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office who raided Joseph Foreman’s home last year are now suing him claiming, among other things, that he invaded their privacy.
Four deputies, two sergeants and a detective are claiming Foreman (a.k.a. “Afroman”) took footage of their faces obtained during the raid and used it in music videos and social media posts without their consent, a misdemeanor violation under Ohio Revised Code.
They’re also suing on civil grounds, saying Foreman’s use of their faces (i.e. personas) in the videos and social media posts resulted in their “emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation.”
The plaintiffs say they’re entitled to all of Foreman’s profits from his use of their personas. That includes, according to the complaint, proceeds from the songs, music videos and live event tickets as well as the promotion of Foreman’s “Afroman” brand, under which he sells beer, marijuana, t-shirts and other merchandise.

Oh yeah, that’s right – they broke into his home, traumatized his kids, broke the home itself, and stole money from him, knowing that there’s basically no way for them to be held accountable for damage or rights violations, but they are the victims here. I’m willing to bet that this lawsuit is both amplifying their humiliation far, far beyond what it otherwise would have been, and it’s probably also increasing Afroman’s profits from the whole affair. Maybe this whole thing would have gone better for them if they’d apologized and offered to help him repair his door.

Remember when the police sued Afroman for being mean to them in his songs?

Complete and total victory for Mr. Foreman. 🍃🍃🍃

 
Here's the best summary video of the Afroman case I've seen. The whole thing is pure comedy gold. The best thing about this is that Afroman seems like such a decent guy. The perfect upstanding citizen. An overall awesome human. Fills me with hope for humanity. In these darkest of hours. "If life gives you lemons, you make lemon pound cake"
