The Honorable Michele M. Leonhart
Administrator

Drug Enforcement Administration
8701 Morrissette Drive

Springfield, VA 22152

Dear Administrator Leonhart,

We recently learned through media reports that the Drug Enforcement Administration created fake Facebook accounts and impersonated a Facebook user as part of its investigation of alleged criminal conduct unrelated to Facebook. Although we understand that the U.S.Department ofJustice is currently reviewing these enforcement practices, we write to expressour deep concern about the conduct and ask that the DEA cease all activities on Facebook that involve the impersonation of others.

Kentucky police call killing man with no gun in hail of bullets a 'shoot out,' refuse to answer questions or name the killer cops.

A little more than a month after police shot and killed a man in Richmond, Kentucky State Police still won't talk about the details of their investigation.

Specifically, they won't answer whether or not Jesse Gibbons, 29, was armed with a gun when police fired a hail of bullets at him. They also haven't said which officers, from which departments, fired their weapons.

On Sept. 13, a Lexington police officer investigating a domestic violence complaint got into an altercation with Gibbons at a convenience store on Buckhorn Drive. Lexington police said Gibbons assaulted the officer, stole his Taser and sped off in a Jeep. The resulting police chase brought Gibbons and officers from several departments to the Eastern Bypass in Richmond, where Gibbons' wrecked his jeep. Police surrounded it and, after that, gunshots, according to witnesses - too many to accurately count.

A brief video clip of the incident provided to LEX 18 showed what sounded like a dozen shots fired. A longer version online depicted what sounded like more than 30 shots fired in the span of about 30 seconds.

Since then, the incident has almost exclusively been referred to in news reports as a "shootout," which would indicate Gibbons returned fire. However, Gibbons' father, Stan Gibbons, said police told him they had not found a gun.

Man Calls a Suicide Prevention Hotline, SWAT Team Shows Up and Kills Him

A Roy, Utah man, Jose Calzada, 35, placed a call to a suicide prevention hotline at 4:00 a.m. Tuesday morning and threatened to kill himself, seven hour later he was shot and killed by police, according to law enforcement.

According to ABC 4, neighbors described Calzada as a quiet, friendly man, who was divorced and now lived in the home with his girlfriend and her children.

Subsequently, a SWAT team came to the residence and “negotiated” with Calzada for more than seven hours before taking his life. "There were people in the home at the time the call was placed," Det. Gwynn told ABC4 News. "They left the home shortly thereafter."

The first tragic mistake in this case was made when the Weber County Consolidated Dispatch Center sent officers to the residence rather than some type of crisis response team trained to deal with suicidal individuals.

A US police officer has been commended for her honesty after she returned a misplaced $120,000 to its rightful owner.
The off-duty California Highway Patrol officer, who asked not to be identified, drove over two bags lying in the middle of the road, which she initially assumed contained rubbish.
But when she stopped in the deserted street to examine the bags, she found that they contained someone’s life savings.
The officer told local television station WTVD-TV that the bags, covered in tyre marks, were a test of her integrity.
“There was no one on that street after I had come back, nobody would have known,” she said. “But that's what determines a person's integrity, it's what you do when nobody is looking.”
“My kids, when I came home, were like,'Mom! What were you thinking?'” she said, explaining that she had difficulty paying the bills.
Opening the bags to see they were full of $100 notes “didn’t feel real”, she added.
A man who reported the loss of the bags, claiming they were his life savings, was later reunited with them after the proper checks were carried out.
California Highway Patrol Golden Gate Division Chief Avery Browne praised the officer, said to be a sergeant: “On too many occasions our personnel do not pause to be recognized as they feel they were simply doing their job.”
The incident took place in Concord, California, on Monday night. $120,000 is worth roughly £74,000 at current exchange rates.
There are no details as to how the man ended up leaving his life savings in the middle of the road.

Jeremy Sweet, Phoenix Cop, Accused of Pointing Gun in Apparent Road-Rage Incident



A Phoenix police officer was arrested and booked into jail on Tuesday, accused of pulling a gun on people during an apparent road-rage incident while transporting prisoners.

Jeremy Sweet, 51, has worked for the department's Central Booking Unit for about seven years. On Monday at about noon, he was transporting several prisoners in an unmarked vehicle when he became involved in a "traffic altercation" at about Central Avenue and Lincoln Street, police say.

During the altercation, Sweet is alleged to have pulled out his handgun and pointed it an the occupants of another vehicle. Some of the prisoners in Sweet's vehicle were said to have witnessed the incident. A citizen who also saw what happened called 911 to make a report.

An investigation led to today's arrest, according to Sergeant Trent Crump, Phoenix police spokesman. Crump later told a reporter that Sweet had "lectured" the other driver while pointing his gun.

Police are seeking one count of felony aggravated assault in the case.

Nice made up headline. Here is the actual headline from the site:

'Roy officer-involved shooting leaves one man dead'

We dont know what went down inside the house. Clearly, the man wanted to die. For all we know, he pointed a weapon at an officer...thus "suicide by cop". Youre making this out to be more than it is.

Sounds to me this is a case of "what goes around comes around":

Finch's brother, Vincent, said Chad Finch stopped driving in 2006 after he was released from prison.

"He served a two-year sentence in 2004 after his third driving-while-intoxicated offense in four years. Chad Finch struck a 14-year-old girl riding her bike while driving drunk in 2000. An 11-year-old child was injured in the 2004 crash that resulted in Chad Finch's prison term."

Cop Created False Police Reports To Get His Mistress’s Husband Thrown in Jail


Austin, TX — Austin police lieutenant Jason Disher was recently suspended for filing false police reports about his girlfriend’s husband and then blocking any other officers from investigating his actions.

Disher fabricated an arrest warrant for a man who was married to a woman that he was having an affair with. He attempted to use his position as a police officer to get his romantic competition out of the picture.

Disher told another officer at his department, Det. Kenneth Nash, about his affair with the woman, but lied and told him that her husband had threatened him during a phone conversation.

According to the police report, Disher reportedly told Internal Affairs investigators that he was afraid he might “take a bullet to the back of the head.”

A month after the report was filed, the woman told police that the allegations against her husband were not true. Phone records corroborated the woman’s testimony and Disher was eventually forced to admit that he fabricated the entire police report.

FBI CAUGHT CREATING FAKE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTICLE


The FBI has drawn strong criticism from the Associated Press and the Seattle Times after it was revealed that the government agency, trying to locate a suspect, crafted and published a false AP article.

The incident occurred in 2007, but documents relating to the FBI’s spoofed article were made public by American Civil Liberties Union technologist Christopher Soghoian on Twitter earlier this week.

The FBI, looking to locate a 15-year-old student suspected of making several bomb threats, designed a fake AP article about high school bomb threats hoping to attract the attention of the suspect. The agency made the article look similar to a genuine Seattle Times story containing an Associated Press byline. The article was sent to the juvenile’s MySpace account, and the FBI planted malware within the link exposing the suspect’s whereabouts upon clicking on it.

The Associated Press stated its disapproval of the FBI using the news agency’s name. “We are extremely concerned and find it unacceptable that the FBI misappropriated the name of The Associated Press and published a false story attributed to AP,” said AP’s media relations director Paul Colford. “This ploy violated AP’s name and undermined AP’s credibility.”

iPhone Users Forfeit 5th Amendment: "Your fingerprints belong to us"



While Touch ID makes sense for most of us as a secure and convenient way to protect our phones, there is one group of people who may want to stick to good old-fashioned passcodes: criminals.

A Virginia District Court has ruled that while phone passcodes are protected by the 5th Amendment, which says that those accused of crimes cannot be compelled to incriminate themselves, there is no such protection against using a suspect’s fingerprint to unlock a phone.
