This will, no doubt, be appealed. But this is a good start.

In the event, the deputy actually told Ms Massey to go to the stove and turn it off, then used his fear of her throwing hot water on him as his justification for shooting her.
You can’t shoot someone for following your commands.

A deputy was accused of sending images of his ge****ls to a 10-year-old girl on TikTok and asking her for pictures and videos.

"Any time a deputy is arrested, it damages the trust that we have worked so hard to build with our community."

Should police
Officers be held to a higher standard if they commit crimes, being that they took an oath to protect people and uphold the laws?

A grand jury indicted a Saugerties police officer for felony s*x crimes that include r**e and criminal contact with a minor, the Ulster County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Sydney Mills, 53, is accused of felony criminal s*x acts that include r**e, s*xual abuse and engaging in s*xual conduct with a child while employed as a Saugerties police officer in 2022, the District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.

“The victim has incredible strength to come forward against a police officer in our community,” Special Victims Bureau Chief Jenna Hastings said, adding that Mills’ alleged actions “undermine the incredible work of other police officers in our community.”

The Saugerties Police Department has long faced allegations of s*xual misconduct among officers.

Mills was previously named in a federal lawsuit that accused him of assisting a former Saugerties police officer who was tried and acquitted of r**e and other s*xual crimes in Ulster County in 2007. The civil lawsuit, filed in March 2007 in U.S. District Court in Albany, accused Mills of ordering a 17-year-old girl into the back of a patrol car, where the other officer allegedly attempted to grope her, the Times Herald-Record, a Middletown-based newspaper, reported that year. No criminal charges were brought against Mills as a result of the allegations, and it was unclear how the civil lawsuit was resolved. Attorneys who represented the accuser said they no longer had legal records from the case.

I am glad to see this verdict. The actions of this deputy, caught in his body camera, depict a scared, cruel person who operated without regard to another human being’s need for assistance.

I support your right to protest and even your protest usually. But to chant a generic “we hate cops” as you march for Palestine and trans rights, may seem confused as your personal safety and Constituioanl rights are literall being preserved by police conducting traffic control.

Let’s focus our “corrective energy” on the bad police, and support the good police doing their jobs rightfully and righteously.

Thank you.

Tamir Rice should be alive. There were several poor decisions made by the training officer that day that directly caused this tragedy.

I write about it in, and other tragic police shootings, in my book on police preparation, training, and support, Growing Guardians, Training Sheepdogs.

Available on Amazon.

Tamir Rice should still be here.

Not as a headline. Not as a hashtag.

But as a young man, growing, thriving, and deeply loved.

We say his name. We carry his story. We keep fighting.

This is what a community oriented police agency does in times like these. They are reiterating their legitimacy to their community. They are speeratimg themselves from those “warriors” who wage battle against the people they are supposed to protect.

These are Guradians.
