  • Harrowing video shows Texas cops RESTRAINING parents outside elementary school shooting and telling them 'we're taking care of it': Cops took up to 90 minutes to get inside classroom where gunman had trapped kids 'because they needed a key'

    Shocking new video has emerged showing Texas cops restraining parents as they tried to rescue their kids on Tuesday after a gunman unleashed terror inside the elementary school, as questions grow over why it took so long to get to the shooter after the first 911 call. Salvador Ramos, 18, arrived at the school in Uvalde at 11.30am, crashing his car into a ditch. A school resource officer was at the scene but he failed to stop him from making his way inside. Two other cops also rushed to the school at that time - Ramos had just shot his...
  • Deputy who set Fed Ex employee, 26, on fire when he tasered him next to gas pump will face charges, says state attorney

    Lawyers for a Fed-Ex worker who was badly burned in an explosion when a deputy tasered him while he was pumping gas say he is being 'vilified' by cops who suggested he was armed when the 26-year-old had 'never had a gun or brandished a gun.' The Osceola County Sheriff's Office has yet to produce a charge against 26-year-old Jean Barreto, who was tackled from behind, allegedly without warning, during the botched arrest. 'I’ve never seen law enforcement behaving this way in Central Florida and doing these types of things for anything from no offense to misdemeanor offenses,' said Mark...

    Use-of-force expert says DC Metro Police officer committed felony in attack on Rosanne Boyland A District of Columbia police officer used a large wooden stick to strike the body and head of protester Rosanne Boyland three times as she lay motionless on the ground on Jan. 6, 2021, according to bodycam footage from several officers obtained by The Epoch Times.

    Shortly after Christmas 1994, 11-year-old Amber Doggett and her little sister were brought to the police station in Wenatchee, Washington, to answer some questions. The girls were separated and, later, in an interrogation room, a detective asked Doggett if her parents had ever sexually abused her. They hadn’t, she said. Yes, they had, the detective insisted. He said he knew that because Doggett’s three older siblings had already said so, and had described the abuse in detail to police. He said it stood to reason that Doggett couldn’t see this clearly, as she’d been brainwashed. None of this was true....

    There has never been a documented case of a dog killing a police officer. The same can't be said for police killing dogs. Every year, hundreds — if not thousands — of animals, mostly canines, are killed by police or animal-control officers. According to the National Canine Research Council, up to half of the intentional shootings by police involve dogs. Sometimes, the animals have been injured and need to be put out of their misery. Sometimes, they are vicious and killed for reasons of public or officer safety. But mostly, they die tragically and needlessly, victims of misunderstanding, prejudice or...
