The Fullerton Police Department, already reeling from criminal charges filed against two officers in the death of a homeless man, has been reprimanded by a federal judge for allowing a police officer to return to patrol after he was accused of groping women.
Seven women have accused Officer Albert Rincon of sexually harassing or groping them during arrests.
In a strongly worded opinion, U.S. District Judge Andrew Guilford refused last week to throw out a lawsuit by two of the women. After the ruling, the city of Fullerton tentatively agreed to settle the case, according to attorneys and court records.
Guilford questioned why the department gave the officer a "weak reprimand" despite accusations from multiple victims that raise "disturbing allegations of police misconduct."
"At the end of the day, the city put Rincon back onto the streets to continue arresting women despite a pattern of sexual harassment allegations. A reasonable juror could conclude based on these facts, that the city simply did not care what officers did to women during arrest," Guilford wrote.

i’ve listened some to this on kfi since the beginning.
it’s unbelievable that this could happen.
just more unsubstantiated attacks against these heros.
really
I’m serious
His groping was nothing more than a TSA female-passenger pat down.

“Ladies...(clearing my throat)...don’t get arrested.”
Problem solved.
Even worse than the actual killing of Kelly Thomas is the rampant corruption within the City and its PD. Former PD members sitting on the council have helped to foster this out of control environment, which has finally resulted in a tragedy.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE about a ONE-EYED cop on the streets of Fullerton? From the LA Slimes about this creep’s injuries:
It was ultimately determined that because of his injuries, Cicinelli no longer met the minimum standards of a peace officer as set forth by California Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST). One of the key principles cited by POST was that peripheral vision is one of the most important visual abilities for safe patrol officer performance.
WHO in their right mind could POSSIBLY think that anyone with only 50% of standard visual capability is suitable for carrying a badge and a gun? And DO NOT respond with BS about how well he performed in static testing after his recuperation. A one-eyed cop is absolutely beyond imagination from a physical point of view, let alone all the mental baggage he must be carrying from the original incident.
ummm because it wouldn’t exonerate them?
he raped the women, no doubt in my mind. forget firing him, string him up.
Whatever, the guy’s a perv.
Hero my ass...
I hope his next traffic stop is “unfortunate.”
Hope you are joking, cop shops are run like this all over the country. Cops need to be overseen by the states attorney general, not the local yokel the cops have the goods on.

Maybe he’s just practicing for when he joins the TSA.

The New Harlequin Novel -- 2011 Version
He grasped me firmly, but gently, just above my elbow and guided me into a
room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone.
He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low, reassuring
voice close to my ear. "Just relax." Without warning, he reached down and I
felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing, and
moving upward along my calves, slowly but steadily. My breath caught in my
throat.
I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so
experienced, so sure. When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a
slight shudder, and partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt
his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my rib-cage. And then, as he cupped
my firm, full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply.
Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my
shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine to my panties. Although I knew
nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and expectant. This is a man,
I thought. A man used to taking charge. A man not used to taking 'No' for
an answer. A man who would tell me what he wanted. A man who would look into
my soul and say . . .
"Okay ma'am, you can board your flight now."
