California town shaken as police officers arrested

California town shaken as police officers arrested KING CITY, Calif. (AP) — Residents of a California farming town were grappling Wednesday with the feeling that their trust has been violated after learning the acting police chief and a handful of officers were charged with crimes including  selling or giving away the impounded cars of poor Hispanic residents. The misgivings had been building for some time. Investigators heard people — many unable to speak English — complain that police were taking their cars and money, and there was nothing they could do about it. "I'm not at all surprised by the arrests, I'm just surprised there weren't more charges," restaurateur Vivian Villa said Wednesday in Spanish while sizzling a pan of beef in preparation for the lunch rush. "Now maybe some of them are going to feel what we feel when they target us." Later in the day, Villa held a meeting in her little restaurant where about a dozen community members spoke ou

The Effect of Body-Worn Cameras on Police Use-of-Force

The Effect of Body-Worn Cameras on Police Use-of-Force Police Foundation Executive Fellow, Chief Tony Farrar, recently completed an extensive year long study to evaluate the effect of body-worn video cameras on police use-of-force. http://www.policefoundation.org/content/chief-tony-farrar This randomized controlled trail represents the first experimental evaluation of body-worn video cameras used in police patrol practices. Cameras were deployed to all patrol officers in th e Rialto (CA) Police Department. Every police patrol shift during the 12-month period was assigned to experimental or control conditions. Wearing cameras was associated with dramatic reductions in use-of-force and complaints against officers. The authors conclude: "The findings suggest more than a 50% reduction in the total number of incidents of use-of-force compared to control-conditions, and nearly ten times more citizens’ complaints in the 12-months prior to the experiment." We applaud Chief Farr

Little Rock: WE ARE NOT ALL IN THE SAME BOAT TOGETHER!

WE ARE NOT ALL IN THE SAME BOAT TOGETHER!  Little Rock Police Department Non-Resident Personnel "Local Options" DENIED residents of fair city "Mercenary: A mercenary is a person who takes part in an armed conflict, who is not a national or  a party to the conflict and is "motivated to take part in the hostilities by the desire for private gain." The term "mercenary" is also used to describe the army itself. As a result of the assumption that a mercenary is essentially motivated by money, the term mercenary usually carries negative connotations. There is a blur in the distinction between a mercenary and a foreign volunteer, when the primary motive of a soldier in a foreign army is uncertain." Some LRPD personnel choose to become part of the Little Rock community by actually living here. They choose to live in the city that feeds their family. They have chosen to rear & educate their children amongst those that they have vowed
