AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says he will not resign amid allegations of bribery and abuse of power....“We do live in a constitutional republic where the rule of law says that you’re innocent until proven guilty, so I’m sure that there will be an investigation going forward and we will learn the results of that investigation,” said Texas GOP Chairman Lieutenant Colonel Allen West....The allegations of bribery, abuse of office, and other charges levied against him by at least 7 senior leaders of the Office of the Attorney General...The work of the Office of the Attorney General of Texas is too critical to the state and her people to leave in chaos and to risk the work of over 700 lawyers managing almost 30,000 legal cases at any given moment, including major cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as processing over $4 Billion in Child Support....
Despite the effort by rogue employees and their false allegations I will continue to seek justice in Texas and will not be resigning.”...

A Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office jail deputy pleaded guilty this month to a misdemeanor menacing charge in connection with domestic violence allegations involving his former girlfriend. Brandon Kearns, 36, was originally charged with strangulation, a felony, and harassment, a misdemeanor, after the Jan. 15, 2019, incident. He was sentenced to 24 months of probation. John Wentworth, a chief deputy district attorney in Clackamas County and the incoming district attorney, said Tuesday that “proving crimes of domestic violence is difficult.” He said his office consulted with the victim and “weighed the risks of coming away from the Clackamas County case with nothing and decided making a criminal record of Mr. Kearns' behavior with a meaningful charge was the most important outcome.” The case was one of two criminal prosecutions Kearns faced in connection with the same victim, who also worked for the Sheriff’s Office. In May 2019, five months after the Clackamas County incident, Kearns was accused by Las Vegas authorities of domestic battery by strangulation, a felony, and domestic battery, a misdemeanor. In that case, Kearns was convicted of disorderly conduct and violating a restraining order, both misdemeanors, and received a suspended jail sentence, according to court records....

N.J. councilman-elect sues to silence women posting abuse claims about him on Facebook
https://www.nj.com/cape-may-county/2020/12/nj-councilman-elect-accused-of-domestic-violence-sues-women-posting-claims-about-him-on-facebook.html
A Cape May City councilman-elect has obtained a court injunction to stop four women from posting about him online, after allegations he abused one of them in 2015 became the subject of online debate surrounding a contentious election.
The injunction, which also bars them from defaming or harassing him via social media or “published media,” is just the latest volley in a legal battle between Christopher M. Bezaire, 42, and his ex-girlfriends that involves a slew of restraining orders and him being charged with violating one.
Claims that Bezaire punched a former girlfriend, Amanda Francis, in 2015 came out in October when she posted about it publicly on Facebook — not naming him, but sharing photos of them together, along with one showing her with a black eye. That same photo and text messages purported to be sent by Bezaire, made it onto a mailer that was sent to voters before the Nov. 3 election, though Francis denies any involvement.
Bezaire — who won the election for a seat on the non-partisan city council after vying against two other candidates — said he “categorically denies any abuse” and the assault charge she filed against him was dismissed by the state....

A former South Carolina sheriff who previously pleaded guilty to stealing public money and was then arrested a month later on a criminal domestic violence charge pleaded guilty Wednesday to the abuse count. A judge sentenced former Florence County Sheriff Kenney Boone to spend 30 days in jail or pay a $1,000 fine, suspended upon the successful completion of nearly seven months of domestic abuse counseling, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced....A month earlier, Boone avoided prison time when he was sentenced for embezzlement and misconduct in office. But a judge held a five-year prison sentence over his head if he couldn’t complete five years of probation. In that case, the former sheriff admitted he used $17,000 in Florence County funds and drug seizure money to buy groceries, window tinting and other personal items. Boone was ordered to pay back the $17,000, and if he did, his probation could have been shortened to 18 months....Boone became the 10th South Carolina sheriff to be convicted of crimes in office in the past decade when he pleaded guilty to the misconduct charges.

Killer police officer Timothy Brehmer was paid for two months after he admitted strangling his lover in a pub car park, it has been confirmed.

What the City of Edmonds knew before the police chief vote
https://myedmondsnews.com/2021/01/what-the-city-of-edmonds-knew-before-the-police-chief-vote/
The Edmonds mayor, human resources director and at least one city councilmember knew about domestic violence issues in police chief candidate Sherman Pruitt’s past before the council voted to confirm him on Dec. 8 as Edmonds’ new police chief....
That was 20 years ago (that this happened) and seeing that there was no conviction...
It (the DV incidents) gave me pause, but it didn’t tell me it would disqualify him, for something he was not convicted of, not so much...
According to the Edmonds police webpage profile on the national police career search qualifications website, any domestic violence incident, not just a conviction, is an “automatic disqualifier” for any officer seeking a “lateral” move (in this case, chief-to-chief). “Applicants should not apply to our agency (Edmonds police) if they indicate any of the automatic disqualifiers,” the Edmonds webpage notes. Edmonds police say that means “admission of any act of domestic violence as defined by law, committed as an adult.” Now, according to the city: “At no time did Mr. Pruitt admit to or classify those events from his past as “domestic violence,” Neill Hoyson said. “In neither instance, was Mr. Pruitt charged with domestic violence....

Civil rights attorney: domestic violence allegations against police among toughest to report
https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/civil-rights-attorney-domestic-violence-allegations-against-police-among-toughest-report/424BW3JWHRBORBJM4D5PAI7OZ4/
He said he’s had several domestic violence victims come forward with allegations against police officers, only to later change their mind and back out. “They don’t end up going forward because they’re afraid,” Friedman said. “There’s a lot of things that make people not want to report domestic violence by police officers.”...
“There are no comprehensive statistics available on [officer-involved domestic violence] and no government entity collects data on the criminal conviction of police officers for crimes associated with domestic and/or family violence,” the study noted.
Boston 25 filed an open records request and obtained 10 years of complaints — more than 6,600 allegations —filed against Boston police officers. There’s only one “pending” complaint listed under the category “domestic violence,” an allegation made against an officer in March 2020.
A Boston Police spokesperson told Boston 25 state law prevented the department from releasing information involving domestic violence allegations, even in cases involving police officers. The spokesperson said it was a mistake to include the March 2020 complaint in the response to our open records complaint. Massachusetts public records laws have certain exemptions — records not considered public —specifically when it comes to reports of rape, sexual assault or domestic violence....
“If they’re doing it so that the officer’s name is never connected, then, of course, you’re protecting the officer and you’re allowing abusers to remain on the force. That makes absolutely no sense,” Friedman said.
“In a smaller town, people would be even more reluctant to report it. It’s very hard to report. Who’s is going to investigate it? People from the same department as the abuser? It’s tough,” he said.

Off-Duty NYPD Officer Charged In Domestic Violence Attack On Fiancée
https://gothamist.com/news/off-duty-nypd-officer-charged-in-domestic-violence-attack-on-fianc%C3%A9e
An off-duty NYPD officer was arrested on Friday morning for allegedly assaulting his fiancée in Harlem. Henry Vidal, a veteran Manhattan officer, was arrested just before 6 a.m. in the 34th precinct and charged with assault and harassment. "He pushed his way inside, jumped on top of her, twisting her wrist and causing pain and discomfort," according to an arrest report. The victim was hospitalized with swelling and bruising, the spokesperson said. Vidal has worked for the NYPD since at least 2003. In 2017, he was reportedly suspended after letting a shoplifting suspect escape in handcuffs. Two years prior, Vidal was sued in federal court for falsely arresting a young black man. Charges against the young man were dropped after he spent three days in custody. The outcome of the lawsuit is pending. A spokesperson for the NYPD said Vidal has been suspended without pay. Studies have shown that incidents of domestic violence are two to four times higher in the law-enforcement community than in the general population. According to the National Center for Women and Policing, "even officers who are found guilty of domestic violence are unlikely to be fired, arrested, or referred for prosecution, raising concern that those who are tasked with enforcing the law cannot effectively police themselves."

Austin officer accused of domestic violence assault fired, memo says
https://www.statesman.com/news/20200330/austin-officer-accused-of-domestic-violence-assault-fired-memo-says
An Austin officer was fired after the Austin Police Department chief determined he committed a domestic violence assault in Buda, according to a disciplinary memo.
The Hays County district attorney’s office declined to prosecute Officer Bryan Black, but that "does not mean Officer Black did not commit an assault," Chief Brian Manley wrote in the memo...."Bryan threw me up against the wall, and I don’t know what to do. Please call me back," the memo says. The person declined to make a report with Buda police, which is common for victims of domestic abuse, the memo says. An Austin police Internal Affairs investigator interviewed Black, who denied he threw the person against a wall, but admitted he had pushed the person against the wall in the past. The person’s arm was bruised, the memo says. In an interview with a Buda police detective, Black admitted that he ripped a broken door off the wall and broke it in half during the argument he had with the person. Manley concluded that Black "recklessly committed a Class A family violence assault" that day. An additional incident took place Sept. 12, when a friend called the police on Black after she overheard him using profanity and yelling at the same person from the Oct. 1 incident, the memo says. Buda police responded, and the incident did not result in arrest.

We know that, nationwide, violence is an estimated two to four times more prevalent in police families than in the general population.... Although the NYPD has the second-most employees of any city agency, the public has not known how many reports it receives of officer-involved domestic violence, the nature of these cases or how they are handled. Some reports make their way into the criminal justice system, but not all do: A report may not rise to the level of an arrest or criminal charge, or a victim may choose not to cooperate with a prosecution, especially if a conviction would result in the family losing the officer’s pension. About 40% of New York City police officers live outside the five boroughs, in which case reports of family violence against them might be known to prosecutors where they live, but not prosecutors in the communities in which they work.
In instances like these, we depend on the police to respond appropriately. Yet, a 2019 report, by a special panel invited to review the department’s disciplinary practices, found the NYPD was too lenient when it came to punishing cops accused of domestic violence.... Although the NYPD has made progress in racial integration — most officers today are people of color — it is still 83% male. ...

“Research on US and UK militaries, however, has found that IPV is often explained as being perpetrated by abnormal individuals who suffer from mental illness or substance abuse, with PTSD the most commonly researched mental illness in military personnel.
“UK and US veterans with PTSD perpetrate IPV at significantly higher rates than the civilian population, with the severity of PTSD symptoms correlating to the severity of abuse....“I found that ADF members are at risk of perpetrating IPV based on the high personal, cultural and structural risk factors....“For example: ‘PTSD is particularly linked with anger because if you feel wound up and on edge all the time, it doesn’t take much to trigger an angry outburst’ as if it is a problem with the individual’.”

The victim’s coworker and other ER staff were speaking about the victim filing for divorce after discovering that her husband cheated on her, the police report said....
The coworker said that the victim did not want to notify the police, according to the police report. Because charges have not yet been filed, the deputy’s name was not released.
Miami police officer's wife dies after she gets trapped for hours in the back of his work vehicle
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/26/us/miami-police-officer-wife-trapped-dies-trnd/index.html
Clara Paulino, the wife of a Miami police officer, died after being found unconscious in the back of her husband's police SUV last week amid temperatures in the 90s.
Paulino was found by her son and her husband, police officer Aristides Paulino, a little after 5 p.m. Friday, Matt Reyes, the vice president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, told CNN. A cause of death has not been released....
Reyes said Paulino's SUV has bars on the windows, has a cage that separates the back seat from the front seat and has doors that lock and can only be opened from the outside. "It's an SUV so you really can't kick out the back window from that cage," Reyes added. Clara was effectively trapped in the back of the vehicle without her cell phone, Reyes said, and would have had no other way to let anyone know she was locked inside unless someone walked or drove by. Reyes also said the neighborhood the Paulinos live in doesn't have a lot of passersby that could have seen her in the vehicle. Per the National Weather Service Miami's climate report for August 21, Miami reached a high temperature of 92 degrees at 3:21 p.m.
"(Aristides) Paulino works midnights. He got home after his shift, went to sleep, woke up around 5 in the afternoon, was looking around the house for his wife, couldn't find her," Reyes said. "His son gets home, he helps him look for her ... they subsequently find her in the backseat of his police car unconscious." Reyes also said Paulino found his wife's phone on the back patio and that was one of the reasons he was wondering where she was. Clara's fingerprints were found all over the inside of the vehicle, he added.
It is unknown why Clara went inside her husband's vehicle, Reyes said. "It is unknown whether it (the vehicle) was locked or she unlocked it to look for something. Nobody really knows why she was back there or how she got back there ... it's not a weird thing (for a spouse to go in car), it's our take-home cars in our driveway, every day," Reyes said....
Queensland police officer who leaked address of domestic violence victim has conviction overturned
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/sep/01/queensland-police-officer-who-leaked-address-of-domestic-violence-victim-has-conviction-overturned
A Queensland court has overturned a suspended jail sentence and conviction handed to a police officer who hacked into a confidential computer system and leaked the address of a domestic abuse victim to her violent former partner. Senior Constable Neil Punchard pleaded guilty to nine counts of computer hacking last year and was initially sentenced to two months’ prison, wholly suspended. On Tuesday, the Queensland district court set aside those penalties, ordered Punchard to instead complete 140 hours of community service, and determined that no conviction be recorded....
The recipient of the text message would later be convicted of domestic violence offences. He threatened to kill his former wife and strap bombs to their children. “Just tell her you know where she lives and leave it at that. Lol,” Punchard wrote to his friend after sending the address. In another message, he said: “The police will contact you if they want to speak to you … then you give them my name. That is your get-out-of-jail-free card,” Punchard wrote in another message...

A South Carolina county councilman whose political career was derailed after he was charged with threatening to kill the mother of his child has filed a lawsuit accusing the local sheriff’s department of mishandling the case and conspiring against him.
The lawsuit from Chris Sumpter Jr., a 28-year-old farmer who in 2016 became the youngest person ever elected to Sumter County Council, alleges the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office had insufficient evidence to charge him with second-degree domestic violence...also accused Sheriff Anthony Dennis of defaming him earlier this year...
Wells reported to police that during the incident, Sumpter had threatened — in front of their son — that he was “gonna get my gun and kill you.” She also reported Sumpter’s father, Chris Sumpter Sr., had caused $580 in damage to her car during the dispute, banging on her car window and scratching the driver’s side door....

Past incidents haunt Bexar deputy's record
https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/politics/article/Deputy-who-killed-Daniels-had-troubled-past-15580566.php
A Bexar County sheriff’s deputy who shot and killed a Black military veteran in mental distress last month has a troubled past that includes an arrest for domestic violence.
Seven years after he joined the Sheriff’s Office, Deputy John Rodriguez was charged in May 2013 with assault-bodily injury, accused of striking his wife. The charge was dropped because his wife asked for its dismissal. But Rodriguez admitted to throwing an iPad at her and breaking two coffee tables and a television set, according to Sheriff’s Office records. He was suspended for three days and allowed to remain on the force.
His domestic violence arrest followed an earlier shooting, in 2010, in which he shot and killed another man in mental distress. At least four witnesses said Jack Butler had his hands in the air when Rodriguez shot him seven times outside Butler’s far North Side home. But the deputy told sheriff’s investigators that Butler was holding a knife and walking toward him when he fired. A grand jury cleared Rodriguez of any misconduct....

J.R. Romano’s tenure as chairman of the state Republican Party should be brought to an end, for the sake of the party and the state of Connecticut. Party leaders called for Mr. Romano to step down as recently as mid-August, after he failed to come forward with allegations of domestic violence that were circulating about a Republican candidate.
On Thursday, Mr. Romano removed all doubt that he is not fit to lead the state party when he refused to condemn President Donald Trump’s intimation that he wouldn’t go quietly if he were voted out of office in November....
Mr. Romano appears incapable of acknowledging any defect in the president’s words, even if they are patently antithetical to American democracy. This wasn’t Mr. Romano’s first gross mistake. In August, Congressional candidate Thomas Gilmer was arrested on domestic violence charges. ...

Police report of suicide threat by former Trump campaign manager includes domestic abuse allegations

Brad Parscale, who managed President Trump’s campaign for nearly 2½ years until he was demoted in July, was hospitalized for his own safety after threatening suicide while holding a handgun during a confrontation with his wife at his Florida home, local police said Monday. Parscale’s wife, Candice, called authorities shortly before 4 p.m. Sunday to report that he had loaded a gun in front of her, prompting her to flee the house out of fear for her safety. She told police that Parscale was still inside the house with multiple guns, that he had made several threats of suicide and that she feared he might attempt to take his own life....Fort Lauderdale Police Department reports from the incident reveal a grim and troubling picture of Trump’s former campaign manager. His wife said Parscale had been drinking heavily, had been physically abusive toward her, and had been stressed and making suicidal comments for weeks. She also told police that he “suffers from PTSD,” or post-traumatic stress disorder, without elaborating. Police removed 10 firearms from the home: five handguns, two rifles, two shotguns and a small revolver, according to the report....

NYPD Officer With History Of Domestic Violence Charges Arrested For Allegedly Punching, Pointing Gun At Girlfriend
https://gothamist.com/news/nypd-officer-history-domestic-violence-charges-arrested-allegedly-punching-pointing-gun-girlfriend
An off-duty NYPD officer with a history of alleged domestic violence and proven complaints of on-duty misconduct was arrested on Monday night for beating and pulling a gun on his girlfriend, police said. Officer Eduardo Vite, a cop in East Harlem's 25th precinct, was arrested in Brooklyn and charged with assault, menacing, and criminal mischief. Vite's girlfriend told police that he pressed his gun to her neck this past summer, and punched her in the back earlier this month. Police were called to the home on Monday after the officer broke down the woman's door and tossed her belongings around the room, according to a department spokesperson. Vite was previously arrested in 2014 for allegedly threatening a woman with knives inside his Manhattan home. "Which one would you like on you tonight?" he allegedly asked the woman, while gesturing to an assortment of kitchen knives, according to court documents. The officer lost his temper again a few weeks later, wrecking two doors inside his home, the woman said. He was charged with criminal mischief, harassment, and menacing. Despite the charges, Vite was able to keep his job on the force. Records show that the Civilian Complaint Review Board has investigated eight separate complaints of misconduct against Vite since 2009. In one instance, which the CCRB was able to substantiate, he allegedly abused his authority against a 45-year-old woman....

Two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence, and they still retain possession of firearms in violation of current Law. In contrast to 10% of families in the general population who are banned from firearms under current Law.
http://womenandpolicing.com/violenceFS.asp
In 1996, an important federal law was passed, which prohibits individuals -- including police officers -- from owning or using a firearm if they have been convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense (18 U.S.C. § 925)
Unfortunately, an early analysis of the Domestic Violence Gun Ban on police officers shows that law enforcement officers have been able to circumvent the ban and retain their weapons. A 1999 survey of the nation's largest 100 police departments revealed that only six cities acted against officers because of the Domestic Violence Gun Ban and only eleven officers were affected. Part of the reason for the lack of enforcement is that police officers plead to a charge other than domestic violence. However, there are also other problems.
First, there is typically no procedure in place to ensure that the courts notify police departments that a court order is in effect against an officer. Most police departments rely on the police officer to personally inform the department of the order, thereby limiting its effectiveness.
The threat of losing their gun and job can also motivate police officers to work harder to insure that their victims tell no one about the abuse. This can make victims of police family violence even more reluctant to report the crime.
Finally, there is evidence that some officers convicted of domestic violence have their records expunged and remain on the department.
The Impact of Police-Perpetrated Domestic Violence-
http://www.abuseofpower.info/Article_FBI.htm
"The characteristics and skills developed in training to produce competent officers are those that, when used in an intimate relationship, make police officers the most dangerous abusers."
"Misuse of Institutional Power: Police abusers differ from other abusers only in that they are tougher and more dangerous. They have training, a badge, a gun and the weight of the police culture behind them."
Police Department ignores national standards for officers accused of domestic violence
"Department leaders don't follow national standards on how to handle accusations of domestic violence against officers. Prosecutors often charge them with lesser crimes - or no crimes at all. As a result, officers who abuse their spouses or romantic partners are allowed to keep their jobs, carry loaded weapons (a violation of current law), and respond when battered women call for help, the newspaper found."
Departments Slow to Police Their Own Abusers
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/24/us/departments-slow-to-police-their-own-abusers.html?_r=0
...while most officials say they treat domestic abuse by officers as they would any other form of misconduct, interviews and disciplinary records indicate that, in fact, punishment is often light and job loss uncommon.
...Police officers can be particularly dangerous because of their access to guns and special training in fighting and controlling those who challenge them. Yet their victims often do not report abuse because they fear retaliation and they believe that their abuser’s colleagues, as well as prosecutors, will not take their complaints seriously.
“It’s been covered up since the beginning of time,” said Penny Harrington, a former police chief in Portland, Ore. Ms. Harrington said that even when accusations are reported, prosecutors may be reluctant to pursue them because they need officers to testify in other cases and do not wish to create ill will.
...One such study, published in 2000, said one in 10 officers at seven police agencies admitted that they had “slapped, punched or otherwise injured” a spouse or domestic partner.
...The cases reported to the state are the most serious ones — usually resulting in arrests. Even so, nearly 30 percent of the officers accused of domestic violence were still working in the same agency a year later.

Domestic Violence Can Happen to You
As a victim of domestic violence, at the hands of my [then] police officer [now] ex-husband, I know that anyone can become a victim. Domestic violence occurs in affluent homes, poor homes, political homes and police officer homes. ... I never told the LAPD about the problems I was having at home. I had no intention of allowing the LAPD to step into my bedroom. The LAPD had been notified by another police department. The police agency which had responded more times than I cared to count to “keep the peace” had finally had enough. When the LAPD discovered that there was indeed a problem in my home, the LAPD immediately ordered my husband to an administrative hearing; a Board of Rights (BOR). The LAPD considers domestic violence serious police misconduct. But the LAPD didn’t stop there, the department ordered me to a BOR. I found out that being a VICTIM of domestic violence was also considered “serious police misconduct”.

Utica police sergeant's case suggests new attitude toward domestic violence
http://www.uticaod.com/article/20141106/NEWS/141109707/10283/NEWS
A Utica police sergeant’s upcoming retirement after a recent incident involving his girlfriend seems to reveal a shifting attitude toward allegations of officer-involved domestic violence.
When the city of Utica settled a $2 million lawsuit last year for the 2009 killing of Kristin Palumbo-Longo by her husband, police Investigator Joseph Longo, city officials declined to say whether lessons had been learned.
But as this sergeant’s personal troubles surfaced — including an incident in the 1990s — Utica police Chief Mark Williams acknowledged an increasing public demand toward “accountability and transparency” for officers that face allegations of domestic violence.
“Most important, what we’ve learned in leadership positions is that the integrity of the department is first and foremost in all these situations,” Williams said. “I think it hurts the reputation of the agency if officers aren’t held accountable for their actions. And there’s no such thing as a secret nowadays, so we have to just do the right thing from the beginning.”
The sergeant has been on administrative leave since Utica police were made aware of an incident in September in Whitesboro. But because he was not charged, the O-D is not identifying him. He also declined to comment.
Utica police officials also are not discussing the allegations – or how they impacted the sergeant’s decision to retire about two years after he was promoted – while the matter remains under internal investigation.
Officials with the Whitesboro Police Department, however, did describe the incident as a “verbal disagreement” between the off-duty sergeant and his girlfriend outside her village home shortly before 11 p.m. Sept. 13.
The woman asked her boyfriend to leave several times and then called 911, which prompted the sergeant to leave before police arrived, Whitesboro police Chief Dominick Hiffa said. A Domestic Incident Report was filed, but nobody was arrested because no laws were broken, Hiffa said.
When the sergeant continued to contact the woman and her acquaintances, she called police again 10 days later, Hiffa said. At that point, Whitesboro police alerted the Utica Police Department and also told the woman how to get an order of protection.
“We agreed that if he was going to persist then we just wanted to nip everything in the bud to make sure nothing happened in the future, for his sake as well as hers,” Hiffa said.
This sergeant’s past troubles over a two-decade career also surfaced during the Longo litigation.
The officer received a fitness-for-duty evaluation around 2010, after Longo’s murder-suicide, following an incident involving his girlfriend, according to transcripts of civil depositions in 2013. He was offered counseling for anger management and alcohol abuse, and was penalized with lost vacation time.
But it was an incident in the 1990s involving the officer’s ex-wife that drew the most attention from the attorney representing Palumbo-Longo’s family, John Dillon, especially since the officer was neither charged nor terminated at the time.
“He pummeled her pretty good, from my understanding,” Williams said during his deposition. “She was hospitalized.”
Yet, the officer was promoted to sergeant last year – a decision Williams said was based on the officer’s work performance, test score and interview, as well as the hope that the officer’s personal troubles were behind him.
Dillon believes the sergeant should have paid a more severe price. But, now that the sergeant will be retiring, Dillon hopes the department finally is changing its attitude.
“The change in rhetoric is encouraging, but we still need to see objective evidence of an effective policy for officer-involved domestic violence being adopted and promulgated,” Dillon said. “The temptation to protect a fellow officer is too great, so a policy that addresses the situations adequately can’t leave anything to the discretion of a fellow officer.”

Eliot police chief denies ignoring report of falsified patrol data
http://www.pressherald.com/2015/01/19/eliot-police-chief-denies-courtroom-accusations-against-him/
ELIOT — The chief of the Eliot Police Department on Monday denied accusations made against him last week in court that he failed to act after learning that most of the town’s police officers consistently falsified their patrol reports....The testimony came up during a pretrial hearing for Paul Olsen, 33, who is accused of assaulting and raping his former girlfriend at her Eliot home. The case was investigated by the town’s police in 2012....Short, who is chief of both the Eliot and Kittery police departments and has worked in law enforcement for 40 years, said he has fired officers for lying before and that he has no tolerance for dishonesty for those serving under him....Cady testified Friday that he began looking into GPS data and officers’ patrol reports in 2009 after an ex-girlfriend accused a patrolman of domestic violence stalking while he was on duty. Though Cady did not name that officer at Friday’s hearing, news reports from the time describe former Eliot police Officer Matthew Raymond’s arrest on a stalking charge. Cady testified that to verify the accuracy of the GPS evidence in the stalking case, he checked data from other officers’ cruisers and found that it didn’t match what they had documented in their reports.
Transit Police officer facing hearing after domestic violence arrest
MBTA police officer Jennifer Garvey attended a dangerousness hearing in Woburn after a domestic dispute which allegedly involved a gun. To prosecutors, MBTA Transit Police Officer Jennifer M. Garvey is a woman with a history of violent outbursts who brandished a firearm at her wife after she scratched their car Saturday night.
...After a confrontation with her wife, Ann Garvey, 39, Saturday night, Jennifer Garvey was briefly hospitalized for a psychological examination. She was later charged with assaulting Ann Garvey , who is also a Transit Police officer, according to court testimony.
...She is charged with assault and battery on a household member and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon..
..Late Saturday, Ann Garvey made a hysterical phone call to Transit Police Deputy Chief James Witzgall at 11:58 p.m., according to testimony and police reports filed in court. She told Witzgall her wife had threatened her with a gun, which she wrestled away. She had a black eye, which she said she suffered when she fell, according to a police report, and had a bite mark she did not explain,
...Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Maren Schrader requested that Jennifer Garvey be held under the state’s dangerousness statute or be sent to a locked facility. She said Jennifer Garvey has a history of violent behavior and submitted court records showing prior arrests. Jennifer Garvey posed a threat to herself and others, including two or three small children who live in the couple’s home, Schrader said. The children are from a previous relationship of Ann Garvey’s, according to court testimony. “A scratch on the car, drinking alcohol becomes a fight where a firearm is pulled out,” Schrader said. “Who’s not to say that one day she’s going to have this PTSD and then it’s not just her pulling her firearm on her wife, but it’s her pulling her firearm on three small children.” Ann Garvey attended the hearing wearing a sling on her arm. She declined to comment. Jennifer Garvey has been placed on leave with pay,
Domestic Violence Charges Challenging for Military Personnel
http://collinsattys.wpengine.com/?p=6565
The incidence of domestic violence in the military has been so high that the Department of Defense has made special and concerted efforts to address this problem over the span of years. Rates of domestic violence are far higher among military families than among members of the general population....She also noted that half of all reported cases were from a female service member abused by a civilian man. ... Perhaps the foremost consideration when an active duty military member is convicted would be the repercussions under the Lautenberg Amendment. Under Lautenberg, if you are convicted of an act of domestic violence you lose the right to bear firearms—in other words, for active-duty military personnel this may mean you will not be able to perform your duties and you will have to leave the military....
Notice time after time how corrupt legal system gives Immunity not just to women but, also to its own. Not only are Cops excused for their domestic violence but also the Prosecuters. Note the cover-up here as charges he faced also were dismissed so he will have no criminal record of domestic violence which means he is allowed to keep his Constitutional Rights, and he avoids the harsh Un-Constitutional punishments put on the rest of most common male citizens.

The 41-year-old’s wife took out a temporary protection order against him following the incident. The order claimed Olson had cut the house’s electricity, held her arms behind her back and thrown a mattress at her.
Conditions of Olson’s plea agreement included all jail time be suspended, no contact with his wife and resignation as state’s attorney. The remaining charges he faced also were dismissed.
Olson’s wife had filed for divorce a week before the incident.

Brevard Woman Who Killed Her Husband Was Abused, Mother Says (Wife shoots her Cop husband)
But Gail said her son-in-law mentally snapped about two years ago and became an angry, abusive, controlling husband toward her daughter. She said her daughter shot Thomas, a former Brevard police officer, last Friday in self-defense.
"She had had a gun barrel poked in her forehead," Cison said. "He said he was gonna kill her and their daughter Nicole. He bought four cemetery plots Tuesday, saying he was also going to kill himself."
But Newman said he wants to have all the information about the relationship and the twenty-four hours leading up to Tina reportedly shooting Thomas, before he decides. Cison, Tina's mother, said the gun Thomas Bayne put to her daughter's head was the same gun her daughter used to kill Thomas, she said to save her life.
DV advocates criticize sentence for former HPD Officer convicted of abuse
A former Honolulu Police Officer will not serve any jail time for beating his girlfriend last year, and the crimes could eventually be wiped from his record.
Danson Cappo, who was on the force for two years, was sentenced to probation and the criminal charges could then be removed from his record....
She detailed the abuse she endured for more than a year. She had a temporary restraining order granted after he threatened to crash her car, held his HPD service weapon to her head, even tried to smother her with a pillow.
But in March of last year, he beat her in the car, so badly that she went to the hospital and finally called police.
Cappo told her that his fellow officers wouldn't believe her,
"He would say, I'm a police officer and you're just a civilian, who's word are they going to take?" the woman said.
But the officers did believe her and Cappo was arrested for domestic violence. But he later pleaded to third degree assault, a misdemeanor......

Former Memphis officer charged with murder of wife
Prosecutors say a former Memphis police officer has been indicted on a charge of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of her wife. The Shelby County district attorney's office says 34-year-old Jaselyn Grant was off-duty when she killed 29-year-old Keara Crowder during a domestic argument on Nov. 19 in their Shelby County home. Sheriff's investigators said the two women were married in another state. Prosecutors say Grant also was indicted Wednesday on attempted first-degree murder charges for allegedly shooting at Crowder's 12-year-old son. At the time of her arrest, Grant's attorney said she was defending herself.
Domestic violence by cops:
A survivor discusses why it's prevalent and how to prevent it
Philip Seidle remains in custody after many eyewitnesses saw and recorded on cellphone video the Neptune, New Jersey police sergeant fatally shooting his ex-wife in front of their child. The case is putting the issue of domestic violence by law enforcement officers into the spotlight. The occurrence of such abuse can happen significantly more frequently than it does for the general population, and stopping it and, more important, preventing it has unique challenges.
In Seidle’s case, on an Asbury Park street on Tuesday, eyewitnesses say that Seidle, who was off-duty at the time, chased down the car his wife Tamara, was driving. Seidle shot her while their seven-year-old daughter watched from the passenger seat. While responding officers got the girl in the car out, Seidle popped off more shots at his wife, killing her, before turning the gun on himself, and threatening to shoot, prompting 25 minutes of negotiations with him. “If they had time to take his daughter out of the car,” asked Jennifer Joyce, a police domestic violence survivor herself, “Why could they not have [done] anything to stop him.”
Joyce’s personal experience with domestic violence in a law enforcement family is extensive. Her mother, Barbara Sheehan, was acquitted of murder four years ago after she fatally shot her retired cop husband, Raymond, following more than two decades of abuse. “This could have very well been my life,” said Joyce, comparing the fatal domestic shooting in Asbury Park with her own upbringing in a violent home. “This is where it was headed,” she said, “as [my father] always threatened, the police would have protected him.” She said that Seidle assumed the same thing and, to a limited extent, got it.
Nonetheless, he’s being held in jail on $2-million bail on first degree murder and other felony charges. Joyce and her brother, who’s also named Raymond Sheehan, wrote the book In Bed With The Badge about the hell they went through along with their mother. Ironically, she’s now serving a related five-year prison sentence for using the guns she was acquitted of killing her husband with. Her daughter says that preventing cases like her family’s 24-year hell is key. “They really need to know the warning signs,” she said about women or men who choose to become romantically involved with an armed law enforcement officer. “Get out early enough before it gets to a point where [an abuser] is not going to back off.”
Suit alleges NYPD cop raped, took naked pictures of woman
http://nypost.com/2015/06/30/suit-alleges-nypd-cop-raped-took-naked-pictures-of-woman/
A scheming, Lamborghini-driving NYPD cop raped a woman he met on a domestic-violence call, then threatened to expose sexy photos he secretly took if she reported him, according to a Brooklyn federal court complaint. The alleged victim claims Officer Harold Avalos targeted her after he came to her Queens home in September 2012 to respond to a dispute with her then-common-law husband, court papers say. Avalos then relentlessly began courting her, while allegedly convincing her husband to file a trumped-up theft charge against her.
Avalos told the woman she was going to be arrested and desperately needed his counsel, she claims. In December 2012, on her birthday, Avalos took her out to a bar for some celebratory drinks and plied her with booze, the papers state. The woman — who is seeking $15 million from the city and from Avalos — claims that she woke up naked in bed with the cop the next morning and that he told her they had had sex. She thinks she was drugged. “He showed her naked pictures of herself and pictures of them having sex and also told her he had taken a video,” the complaint states.
He also allegedly threatened to kill her family if she talked. “You don’t know how crazy I am,” he allegedly said. Terrified, the woman met Avalos at a motel in March 2013 after he agreed to delete the images and he raped her again, she claims. Her ex then contacted NYPD Internal Affairs. “A decision on whether he will be terminated is now before Commissioner Bratton,” the papers state. Avalos, who has not been charged criminally, could not be reached for comment. The woman’s attorney, Steven Hoffner, said Avalos had previously dated a woman who was involved in a domestic incident.
The Link Between Domestic Violence And Law Enforcement
http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/07/09/the-link-between-domestic-violence-and-law-enforcement/
A North Texas woman is speaking out today about a problem that she claims law enforcement has been reluctant to acknowledge: domestic violence in their own homes. “To have someone pull out their service weapon on you, to cock shotguns on you, those things are hard to prove,” admits Shawn Silvan. [But] “they have easier access to weapons and I feel like there’s a brotherhood that surrounds them that also kept me silent.”
...Early last year, Silvan found herself running barefoot down an unlit street in freezing cold weather, to get away from an abusive marriage with a man she says wore a badge....And some experts say it’s more common than many may realize. The National Center for Women and Policing cites two different studies that found “that domestic violence is 2-4 times more common among police families than American families in general.”
Police officers investigated over rape, domestic violence claims which saw prison guard wrongfully jailed
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-16/police-officers-investigated-over-rape-claim-vendetta/6779936
When prison guard Chris Bryant (not his real name) left work at Canberra's Alexander Maconochie Correctional Centre on Christmas Eve in 2013, police were waiting to arrest him.
Days earlier, in a series of long interviews, his former fiancée had described in graphic detail how Mr Bryant had brutalised her during their two-year relationship.
She told police he raped her twice, struck her with a tyre lever, bashed her with his fist and elbow, broke her nose and even urinated on her.
She took out an Apprehended Violence Order, but she said the abuse never stopped.
Not only was Mr Bryant arrested, but he would spend more than four months in Goulburn jail, one of the country's toughest prisons.
There was just one problem: the allegations were false.
The charges against Mr Bryant were eventually dropped and the supposed victim has been exposed as an accomplished liar....

Ex faces cross-examination as OPP officer's trial continues
http://www.sootoday.com/content/news/details.asp?c=99412
During two days of intensive cross examination, the former girlfriend of an Elliot Lake Ontario Provincial Police officer insisted numerous times that she was afraid to report his abusive and assaultive behaviour to the cops.
Querat said McLean had often warned her that police would just send her home with him and she feared he would then get upset and possibly kill her.
Glenn McLean repeatedly told her no one would believe her because he was an OPP officer and she was on methadone
"I just knew how powerful Glenn was with other police officers,"
McLean has pleaded not guilty to 26 charges ranging from stealing a breathalyzer machine and gas from the OPP, frauds and thefts from the Anishnabie Naadmaagi Gamig Substance Abuse Treatment Centre, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence to assault causing bodily harm, threatening, pointing a firearm and numerous counts of assault, all involving the woman.
The offences are alleged to have occurred between December 2011 and November 2013.
Querat had stolen $20,000 from her employer by writing herself extra pay cheques for six months prior to meeting McLean on Jan. 29, 2013.
She pleaded guilty to fraud over $5,000 in Elliot Lake in August 2014 and received a conditional sentence of two years less a day.
Querat acknowledged taking $130,000 (which included the $20,000 she stole before meeting Mclean) and was ordered to pay $117,000 restitution.

Survivor raising awareness about domestic violence
http://www.krdo.com/news/survivor-raising-awaraness-about-domestic-violence/35869128
During a symposium on the issue Thursday, Doris Rivera-Black shared her story. The former El Paso County Deputy Sheriff suffered domestic violence at the hands of her now ex-husband.
"After we were married, he began to subtly change, and display a lot of power and control tactics. He never hit me, however there was a lot of psychological manipulation, a lot of emotional abuse," she said.
Rivera-Black ended the relationship and sought a restraining order. He went after her.
"He kidnapped me a week later at gunpoint and sexually assaulted me, and I was able by the grace of God to get away that night and to get back to safety, and he is now in prison."
Rivera-Black's story will now be available to a wider audience. Her book, "Clothed in Strength was published this month."
Canada's “secret epidemic” of police domestic violence
Cops make terrifying villains. They’re trained in the use of physical force. They know how to find people who don't want to be found. They own, and bring home, guns. For the kind of person who craves control, it's an attractive job. And if control is one of the main drivers behind domestic violence, asks Alex Roslin, is it any surprise that cops would be violent at home?...
“Chief [Jean-Michel] Blais, to his credit, actually said the level of police domestic violence is higher than in the wider population,” ...
In his research Roslin discovered only 10 RCMP officers in Canada faced formal disciplinary actions for domestic violence from 2008 to 2013. Only three of the 10 cases led to criminal charges. Harsher penalties were handed out to officers in the same period who made false statements or committed theft. Those Mounties were often dismissed, or ordered to resign....
“There's a huge range of tricks and steps that police officers take to derail these investigations before they ever get to a criminal investigation,” ...
22% domestic violence orders are against police officers ..."doubling of the DVOs against police officers, the rate was about half of that of the wider community."
Domestic violence orders against Queensland police officers double in 2015
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-14/dvos-in-queensland-police-force-doubles-in-a-year/7027802
So far today police in Australia would have dealt with on average 224 domestic violence matters.
The number of Queensland police officers subject to domestic violence orders (DVOs) has more than doubled in a year, outstripping the increase in the wider community.
Figures obtained under Right to Information by the ABC showed that in 2015, so far 50 officers have had DVOs taken out against then, up from 24 in 2014 and 20 in 2013. ...
...some partners were using DVOs as leverage in relationship breakdowns. "Tragically what I do see throughout society is some people will misuse the domestic violence legislation for their own personal gains," he said.
Mr Leavers also blamed the increase in DVOs, in part, on the psychological impact of policing....
Even with doubling of the DVOs against police officers, the rate was about half of that of the wider community.
Felony guilty plea did not end Colorado cop's career; havoc followed
http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_29243245/felony-guilty-plea-did-not-end-colorado-cops
With a guilty plea to felony fraud on his rap sheet, Jeremy Yachik should not have been allowed to work as a police officer in Colorado, according to the state's regulations on law enforcement hiring and licensing.
But in 2005, the Trinidad Police Department in southern Colorado hired Yachik. He resigned less than seven months later after superiors found he had lied about alleged misconduct and after they began investigating allegations of domestic violence.
He soon found work nearly 250 miles north with the Berthoud Police Department, where he lost his job in 2014 after his then-fiancée circulated a video of him punching, kicking and choking his 15-year-old daughter.
"I think a lot of people gave him the benefit of the doubt and believed him because he was a police officer," said Yachik's former fiancée, Ashley Saint-Roberts, who said she struggled to convince authorities that Yachik was repeatedly abusing his daughter and was a threat to the public.
Yachik has been convicted of child abuse. He now faces felony charges of repeatedly sexually assaulting a minor when she was 6 to 7 years old and 13 to 14 years old. He caused so much controversy in Berthoud that authorities disbanded the police force there amid allegations of a coverup.
Just last month, Evans police arrested him again, this time for allegedly elbowing his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach.
Yet Yachik remains certified to work as a police officer in Colorado, the result of the state's porous system for police hiring and discipline.
It's a system that has allowed troubled individuals with a history of brutality, violence and dishonesty to continue working in law enforcement while engaging in serious misconduct, a series of investigative articles by The Denver Post over the past year found.
Questions persist over why Yachik was allowed to work as a police officer in Colorado considering he had pleaded guilty to a felony charge in 1999 that accused him of defrauding a Hyatt Regency hotel in New Mexico out of nearly $2,000.
He was placed on probation for 18 months by a judge there, and upon successful completion, the judge adjudicated his case with no finding of guilt. Such deferred-judgment arrangements are not uncommon....
The Law says your wife is a whore. According to the Law she is a "victim" of domestic violence and rape, and she is a victim because she is a prostitute.

Hertfordshire PC Simon Salway slept with domestic violence victims
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-35161659
Simon Salway was convicted of six charges of misconduct in a public office in relation to six different women.
A police officer trained to help victims of domestic violence has been found guilty of pursuing vulnerable women who he met through work for sex. PC Simon Salway, 39, from North Hertfordshire, targeted the women after they had contacted the police for help. One had a relationship with the married officer and eventually had a baby by him, Luton Crown Court heard. Salway was convicted of six charges of misconduct in a public office in relation to five different women. He was acquitted of a seventh misconduct charge involving another woman.
Salway was granted conditional bail and will be sentenced in the new year. Judge Richard Foster said it was "inevitable" that he would be sent to prison. During the trial, the jury heard the officer, who was based at Hatfield Police Station, had "wilfully abused" his position over a sustained period of time. Some of the women were the victims of domestic violence at the hands of abusive partners. Salway won their trust and flirted with them before sending them sexual texts and messages, the court heard.
Prosecutor Gregory Perrins said: "He was opportunistic and saw every encounter with a young vulnerable woman as an opportunity for sex." The court heard that Salway kissed one woman who was being threatened by her partner, after arranging to meet her in a lay-by while he was on duty. He had sex with another vulnerable woman in her living room, the jury was told. She later discovered he was married and ended the relationship, before she realised she was pregnant by him. She gave birth to their child in May 2008. Salway persuaded another woman to perform a sex act on him before he went back to work. He was arrested in March 2014 and admitted he had fathered a child by one of the women, but denied all of the charges.
Police officers three times more likely to commit domestic violence
http://generalstrikeusa.blogspot.com/2015/12/police-officers-three-times-more-likely.html
In families of police officers, domestic violence is two-to-four times more likely than in the general population — from stalking and harassment to sexual assault and even homicide. As the National Center for Women and Policing notes, two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence, in contrast to 10% of families in the general population.
Violent police officers, whether they are violent at home or violent on the job, are treated with kid gloves. Over 99.5 percent of officers who kill someone never serve a day in jail.
Utah cops ignored a domestic violence call involving fellow officer — and laughed about their failure to help
A Utah police chief was fired after officers in his department declined to respond to a domestic violence call at a fellow officer’s home. Kent Adair was placed on administrative leave last month, after questions swirled about the police response to a 911 call from the estranged wife of former Monticello police sergeant Cole Young, reported KUTV-TV. Young’s estranged wife reported during the Dec. 2 call that her 36-year-old husband had attacked another man and was driving while drunk. The dispatcher called each of the police department’s three officers, but each of them declined to respond to the domestic violence report. The dispatcher finally called Adair, and recordings show she and the police chief laughed about officers’ refusal to investigate the report involving Young.
Young’s wife later told KUTV that she and her friend were terrified, and they eventually went to the mountains to hide from Young after they realized police weren’t going to respond. A sheriff’s sergeant from San Juan County finally investigated the call about 10 a.m. — or 10 hours after the woman reported the domestic violence incident. Young was arrested and booked into jail about 1 p.m. that day, and he appeared in court last week on a felony count of aggravated burglary and a misdemeanor count of assault. City officials said this isn’t the first time Adair has faced criticism for his department’s handling of emergency calls....

Research in Brief:
Officer-Involved Domestic Violence
One-third of the OIDV victims were the current spouse of the arrested officer. Close to one-fourth of the victims were children, including a child or a stepchild of the officer or children who were unrelated to the arrested officer. There were 16 victims who also were police officers.
(The majority of the cases are not charged. When they are charged most often the charge is not domestic but, another charge so the officer is not bound to the unconstitutional Lautenberg Folly):
Simple assault was the most serious offense charged in roughly 40 percent of the cases, followed by aggravated assault (20.1 percent), forcible rape (9.9 percent), intimidation (7.1 percent), murder/non-negligent manslaughter (4.6 percent), and forcible fondling (3.7 percent).
(Another trick officers do to avoid being charged is to resign temporarily, or allow the department to cover it up as if they are handling the case with suspension, or other deceptive tactics like the officer resigns then after a few months rejoins the same dept or just goes to the next town;s department. When it blows over it is forgotten, and not on record then the officer is back on duty with a clean record.)
The majority of cases in which the final employment outcome was known resulted in a suspension without job separation (n = 152).
(Get this, only ONE Conviction)
Of those cases where there was a conviction on at least one offense charged,
Police Officers as Perpetrators of Crimes Against Women and Children
http://justicewomen.com/wjc-project-final.pdf
A sixty day review of the Cato Institute’s Police Misconduct Newsfeed was conducted and all crimes against women and children were extracted and reviewed. There were a total of ninety-one crimes against women and children; ninety committed by men and one committed by a woman. There were twenty-eight cases of domestic violence, sixty cases of sex related crimes, and ten cases of child abuse; some cases involved a combination of crimes. ... Additionally, after reading the cases presented, many officers were offered plea deals which changed the domestic violence charges to a lesser crime or battery. Therefore, the officers would not be convicted of domestic violence and would be immune from the consequences of the Lautenberg Amendment. In some cases the plea included complete erasure of the officer’s conviction record if he showed one year of good behavior.

Trump’s war on women: 3 key team members have been accused of physical or sexual violence against women
Three men in Donald Trump's administration have been accused of domestic violence
Three people appointed to the country’s top team have been accused of domestic violence, including the president-elect himself.
Donald Trump was accused of marital rape by his first wife, Ivana Trump. He denied it, and Ms Trump later retracted the allegation and said the rape was “not in the criminal sense”. He was also accused of child rape, but the plaintiff dropped her lawsuit shortly after she decided not to reveal her identity to the media. He has also faced a string of sexual assault allegations from more than a dozen women over the past few decades, all of which he denied.
His first appointment was Stephen Bannon, the founder of white supremacist platform Breitbart, as his senior counsel. Mr Bannon was charged in February 1996 with domestic violence, battery and trying to dissuade a victim - his wife - from reporting a crime, but the case was dropped when she did not turn up to court. She later testified that she had been ordered by Mr Bannon to leave town. Donald Trump's controversial cabinet Andy Puzder, who was appointed this week as labour secretary, was also accused of domestic abuse by his first wife in the 1980s, as reported by the Riverfront Times, and police were twice called to their house. Mr Puzder denied allegations of abuse, to the Times and to the St Louis Post-Dispatch in 1989.

Suspended cop sues town for $75M over ‘public corruption’
http://nypost.com/2017/01/15/suspended-cop-sues-town-for-75m-over-public-corruption/
A sergeant who beat and bloodied his wife was given his gun back and the domestic-violence case dropped. Another cop, a member of a prominent local family, was never disciplined after failing to respond to an emergency where a victim died. A former mayor used an on-duty 911 dispatcher for political work.
These allegations come from a suspended cop, Joseph Pesapane, who just filed a $75 million federal lawsuit against the village.
The village and police department “have a long history rife with public corruption where crimes and serious misconduct are condoned,” Pesapane, 33, charges in his lawsuit, which also names the former mayor and police chief among the defendants....

Most Chicago police accused of domestic violence go undisciplined
In nine of every 10 domestic violence allegations made against officers by their spouse or children, no disciplinary action is ever taken. And there are a lot of allegations....In a database obtained through a the Freedom of Information Act request, the I-Team found 5,280 domestic violence complaints filed against Chicago police officers since the year 2000. That's more than 340 complaints filed every year and on average, nearly one per day. "We know that it's something that often happens behind closed doors and so I would suspect that the numbers are even higher than that," ...Patterson said many victims of domestic violence involving police officers don't call 911 for help. "When your husband is a police officer there's fear of, 'Do I make a police call? What happens if I call 911 and some of his colleagues shows up?'" she said. Chicago police department records revealed another troublesome pattern according to experts. Following an investigation, 92 percent of the police domestic violence complaints led to no disciplinary action, or what the department calls Code 600.

Olmsted Falls cops framed mayor in 2015 domestic violence arrest, police chief says

Olmsted Falls' former police chief and a supervisor withheld evidence and falsified records in the 2015 arrest of the city's mayor, the current police chief said.
The actions were in retaliation for Mayor Anne Marie Donegan's push for police reform, current Olmsted Falls Police Chief William Traine said. ...Traine conducted an 11-month internal investigation into Donegan's arrest and found the former police chief and supervisor pushed for prosecution against Donegan in order to sully her reputation and end her political career.

There was no probable cause for the charges." ...including tampering with evidence, obstructing justice and disseminating confidential information-- for their actions, ...Donegan, however, asked the chief and prosecutors not to pursue criminal charges because she wanted to move on from the ordeal, Traine said.

MDOC official on leave after domestic violence arrest
A Mississippi Department of Corrections official is on leave after he was arrested on a domestic violence charge in Pearl early Tuesday, officials said. Community Corrections Director Todd King was charged with domestic violence early Tuesday morning after police were called to his home twice, according to the Pearl Police Department. PPD Spokesman Brian McGairty said officers were called to King's residence Monday evening and there had been no physical fight, just a verbal disagreement. Both parties agreed to separate and neither wished to sign charges, he said. At that point, officers did not see any evidence that anything had taken place. Around midnight officers were called back to the residence at which point King was arrested for domestic violence. "Based on the affidavit there wasn't any type of actual striking, but there was an attempt or a threat toward the victim, who was his wife, and that's what constituted the arrest," McGairty said. MDOC officials said King is on leave pending a review. The agency provided no further information. According to police, there was evidence at the scene the second time that there was some kind of threat toward the victim.

Trump Reportedly Nicknamed Bannon ‘Bam Bam’ After Domestic Abuse Allegations Surfaced
When Bannon became CEO of the Trump campaign back in 2016, there were a lot of reports and profiles about his strange, nomadic lifestyle before he took the helm at Breitbart. One aspect of Bannon’s past that received attention was a lawsuit his ex-wife filed against him for domestic violence and battery.
Here’s how Politico previously reported on the charges:
The Santa Monica, Calif., police report says that Bannon’s then-wife claimed he pulled at her neck and wrist during an altercation over their finances, and an officer reported witnessing red marks on her neck and wrist to bolster her account. Bannon also reportedly smashed the phone when she tried to call the police.
The case against Bannon was dropped when his ex-wife didn’t show up to court, and the controversial chapter had no impact on his position within the Trump campaign. As Michael Wolff’s book continues to fuel the newfound animosity between Trump and Bannon, Johnson tweeted this account of what the future-president thought when he found out about Bannon’s alleged actions:
Was just told, by person present, that Trump referred to Bannon as “Bam Bam” after allegations of domestic abuse surfaced against him (Bannon) during the campaign. Trump told ppl: “Don’t worrry abt Bam Bam, he’s locked away in a room working 20 hrs a day. He never comes out.”
DV = GUN CONTROL. ALL MILITARY MEN ARE VIOLENT MASS MURDERERS AND WIFE BEATERS.
Cities Sue Over Pentagon’s Failure to Report Crimes to Gun Database
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/26/us/gun-background-checks-military.html
The cities say they are suing because their police departments regularly access the federal background-check database and rely on it to provide accurate information about who should be prevented from buying guns.
The Pentagon has repeatedly been chided since the 1990s by its own inspector general for woefully failing to comply with the law. In a 2015 report — and another one issued just a few weeks ago — investigators said that nearly one in three court-martial convictions that should have barred defendants from gun purchases had gone unreported by the military....
If the lawsuit is successful and the military fails to adhere to a court order to demonstrate compliance with the law, a federal judge could hold the defendants in contempt, lawyers for the plaintiffs say. The lawsuit names as defendants the Defense Department and its secretary, James N. Mattis; the Departments of the Air Force, Army and Navy and their respective secretaries; the directors of the military’s criminal investigative organizations; and the commander of the Navy’s personnel command.
Veteran cleared of domestic violence charges thanks to his military service
A 54-year-old New Bedford man accused of assaulting and strangling his girlfriend last year had his charges dismissed on a simple defense: He’s a military veteran. Allan T. Santos’ attorney got him cleared of the charges by invoking the state’s Valor Act, which steers veterans into treatment programs and away from jail. With the approval of Bristol County Judge John P. Stapleton, and with a period of counseling through the Department of Veterans Affairs, the charges will be erased from his criminal record, as if he had never been accused....
“It’s like you’re looking at the devil,” she said. In an interview, Santos vehemently denied all the charges and blamed his former girlfriend for fabricating them to try to ruin his life. But the court never made a ruling on the facts of the case. Instead, the judge made the call based on Santos’ military background — four years in the Navy in Hawaii in the 1980s....
While the law was aimed at helping veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or substance abuse, it was not limited to them, or to service members who saw combat. Any veteran with no prior criminal convictions or outstanding warrants is eligible.
The Valor Act can’t be applied to crimes that would be prosecuted in higher courts, and there’s an exception for crimes against elderly people. But in district courts, there are few restrictions. In a case heard by the Supreme Judicial Court last spring, the justices unanimously agreed that the Valor Act could be applied to drunken driving cases.... The Valor Act is supposed to be applied before charges are brought at arraignment. ...
She said that he then dropped the piece of paneling and locked her in the boat for about a half hour before taking them back to shore. There, he went to the police station and filed a report accusing her of attacking him, a police report shows. In an interview with the Globe, Santos maintained that Bastos was the aggressor and that he never hit or choked her. He said he locked her in the boat only to ward off her attacks. He showed police a scratch he had suffered, and noted that she didn’t go to the police until after he had filed charges. A restraining order and charges he brought against her were ultimately dropped....“This was all a tactic to destroy my life, because she was angry,” Santos said. Santos was arraigned on charges of assault and battery, assault with a dangerous weapon, and strangulation in January 2017. But his fortune turned at a pretrial hearing in August, when a new defense attorney argued before a third judge that the Valor Act was applicable....

‘Retaliation’? — State rep says questioning Madigan on harassment cost her job
A North Side Democrat says she was forced to resign from a part-time job in the Cook County Sheriff’s office as political payback for her criticism of Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan’s handling of sexual harassment allegations — a claim the sheriff’s office vehemently denies. State Rep. Kelly Cassidy — who has worked part-time in the sheriff’s office since January 2015 — said Madigan’s chief of staff Tim Mapes called the sheriff’s office in February to check on her employment, within days of her vocal opposition of Madigan’s handling of harassment claims.... “The slow and steady drip of accusations and dismissals has turned into an endless cycle of lather, rinse, repeat, highlighting the culture of harassment in the legislature and political campaigns,” ... Cassidy resigned from her part-time post because she opposed a bill the sheriff’s office had been strongly pushing — a measure that would place inmates on the sex offender registry upon release if they expose themselves or masturbate in front of female staffers more than two times....

TV Station Ordered to Expunge Archived Story About Teacher's Dismissed Domestic Violence Charges
https://reason.com/volokh/2018/07/16/tv-station-ordered-to-expunge-archived-s
An Alief ISD teacher is no longer in the classroom after he was arrested on allegations of domestic violence. Damon Barone is charged with assault-family violence. According to a statement from Alief ISD, Barone was a teacher at Mahanay Elementary School but has not been on campus since April 4. He's currently on administrative leave and the district says "he will not return at any point."
Alief ISD officials say the incident did not happen on school property or at a school event. The charges have since been dropped, but Barone remains no longer employed with the school district.
About a week ago, that story disappeared from the site. And that disappearance seems to be linked to a Houston court's June 26 expunction order (signed by Judge Michael Landrum), which purports to cover KTRK.
In many states, a person who has been charged with a crime can petition to expunge his records when the charges are dropped, as the charges against Barone were. ...

Andrew Robinson rolls to easy win over Seth Carey in district attorney race
Times Record
AUBURN — Voters re-elected District Attorney Andrew Robinson on Tuesday and rejected a Republican challenger whose law license is suspended after an allegation of domestic violence, putting an end to the one of the state’s more bizarre campaigns. Seth Carey, who won a Republican primary in June despite being barred from the courtroom, lost by a wide margin to Robinson for the right to prosecute cases in Androscoggin, Oxford and Franklin counties for the next four years....“He didn’t need to go negative because the accusations from the false accusers did that for him,” Carey said. “The people weren’t going to elect a suspended attorney. “It’s a shame that I wasn’t able to run a normal campaign void of all the negative press premised on false accusations.” He said he was “especially disappointed in the judiciary for not seeing through the ridiculous accusations of these troubled women.” “Now all I can do is focus on finding justice,” Carey said, “but the judgments so far don’t leave me optimistic.”...

Domestic violence case that helped change Utah polygamy laws ends in plea deal, but wife isn’t happy
https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2018/12/06/domestic-violence-case/
A state senator was in a Provo courtroom Thursday to see a family and political drama conclude with his son-in-law agreeing to a plea deal on misdemeanor domestic violence charges in a case that helped change Utah’s polygamy laws. Mitchell Kyle Henderson, 50, entered a plea in abeyance on two counts and was sentenced to what is effectively a probation. Fourth District Judge Christine Johnson will dismiss both counts if he obeys all laws for 12 months and pays a $400 fee. Henderson had been charged with six felonies for assault, domestic violence and witness tampering. His legal wife, Nicole Henderson, left the courtroom displeased with the resolution. “There are only a few charges before the court today," she said. "They do not do justice to what happened to me.”...

Estonia minister calls president 'emotionally heated woman'
http://www.startribune.com/estonian-nationalist-party-sees-media-bias-in-violence-case/509377262/
HELSINKI — The new interior minister of Estonia on Thursday called the country's first female president an "emotionally heated woman" for walking out during the swearing-in of a Cabinet minister accused of domestic violence. Mart Helme made the sexist remark at a news conference where he also accused Estonian news outlets of applying a double standard in covering abuse allegations against the now-former minister from his far-right party. President Kersti Kaljulaid, the first woman to serve as the Baltic country's head of state, left a Monday swearing-in ceremony for a new three-party government when it was time for the appointee at issue to take the oath of office. Marti Kuusik was sworn in as technology and foreign trade minister along with the rest of Prime Minister Juri Ratas' Cabinet after news reports featured the domestic violence allegations. Police opened an investigation to review the allegations hours later. Kuusik, a member of Helme's Estonian Conservative People's Party, resigned the next day, saying the probe was based on "slander" and "a terrifying media attack" against him. Helme called the reporting "an unconstitutional witch hunt." He also made clear his dim view of the president's decision to walk out during the ceremony and return to her seat when it was the next minister's turn. "An emotionally heated woman can afford to do that," Helme told reporters. "But Kersti Kaljulaid is not simply a woman, but the president of the republic."...

When he left, the woman locked herself in the bathroom and called 911, but Shemwell kicked in the door and forced her to drive to McKinney with him, the affidavit says.

Prosecutors moved to revoke the probation several times, saying he had illegally possessed a firearm and failed to report to a community supervision officer, in addition to "several other accusations during probation that were not filed," Judge Gracie Lewis wrote in court documents.

Heather Glogolich knows more than most the terrors of violent domestic abuse as a survivor of a life-threatening episode and defender of others as a police lieutenant. Glogolich has shared her shocking personal tale of survival on a public blog, and plans to write a book about her ordeal....She met him in 2004 while both attended the police academy. By 2006, they were married, and by February 2008 they had two children, a boy and a girl. Eight months later, her life changed forever when he came home "very, very, very drunk," according to Glogolich's blog...."He grabbed me by my shirt and threw me on the couch," she wrote. "He took his legs and kneeled into my throat to the point where I began to lose consciousness. Then he hit me. Closed fist across the face and said if I woke either of our kids, he was going to kill me. And I believed him. I had never seen that look before. It was rage. It was blank rage. For the next four hours I was nothing to him but a whipping post."
She details in her blog how he took a kitchen knife and wrapped her hand around it and told her she had to kill herself because if she lived, he would go to jail.
"He continually choked me until I started to lose consciousness and then he would stop and scream more," she wrote. She wrote that he had a gun, which she was too afraid to grab to protect herself. He eventually put the gun to her head and threatened to kill her.

Susan Rubio, whose domestic violence allegations against her ex-husband made headlines and cost him a seat in the Assembly, is a senator now. And she has a bill. In 2016, when Susan Rubio was on the Baldwin Park City Council, she famously accused her then-husband, Assemblyman Roger Hernandez, of domestic violence. He had been beating her, she told a Los Angeles County court, since late 2013, just months into their marriage, but she had covered it up — telling hospital staff she had hurt herself working out, for instance — because both were elected officials and because she feared he’d retaliate. Three years later, Rubio and Hernandez are divorced, he no longer holds office and she’s Sen. Susan Rubio, a freshman Democrat with a bill — co-sponsored in the Assembly by no less than her sister — to lengthen the statute of limitations on domestic abuse.

Former CHP officer's history of alleged abuse highlights nationwide concern with policing
The review across California identified 84 current or former law enforcement officers convicted in domestic violence-related cases since 2008....They used as a starting point a list prepared by the California Attorney General’s Office of nearly 12,000 cops and applicants convicted of a crime in the past decade. Aside from driving violations, domestic violence was the most common charge in those records.... police were called to several incidents of alleged domestic violence during a seven-year span, but the 50-year-old CHP officer was not arrested or charged with a crime...It is not unusual to see cases involving officers pleaded down to lesser crimes and for officers to receive more lenient sentences....officer-involved domestic violence say victims face a partner who is also trained in firearms use and knows how to control people verbally and physically.
Women battered by police face disincentives to reporting because the person who investigates the crime may be a colleague of the suspect, setting up a situation where the suspect may receive favorable treatment...“Decisions on whether to report are also likely influenced by the cultural values of secrecy and loyalty, wherein police (and their families) are expected to ‘never blow the whistle’ and expose police perpetrators,”...Within the criminal justice system, law enforcement suspects are sometimes under-charged or allowed to plead guilty to lesser charges...She and another researcher surveyed 299 officers in 27 states and found 51% of them reported they had been called to a domestic violence incident involving another officer....I'm not arguing that all cops are abusers, but I can argue that there are things that make it more likely police are abusers. it's challenging to obtain reliable data on officer-involved domestic violence because there is no reporting requirement.

UNITED SLAVES OF AMERICA
TWO TIER LEGAL SYSTEM:
MASTAS=IMMUNITY
SLAVES=WRONGFUL CONVICTION
One very evident point we see is these offenders from Government, and Law receive Immunity, and Leniency for their crimes so that they have no criminal record, or their record appears as some minor petty violation. While many innocent civilians are Wrongfully Convicted over mere False Accusations, and fabrications involving Official Misconduct that gives the Innocent Civilian a criminal record when no crime ever occurred, while granting immunities to the Police and Government Officials.
America is a Two Tier Legal System.
Law Enforcement Officers commit the most violent assault crimes, the most sexual assault crimes, the most fatal excessive force crimes, and police domestic violence is two to four times higher than the general population.
The abuse rate for cops is up to 15 times higher than among the public.

The case against two law enforcement officers who were arrested on suspicion of domestic violence has been thrown out due to insufficient evidence.

Neither Kristi Nielsen nor Theresa Nielsen, age 53 and 52 respectively, are expected to appear in court as initially planned. “The case was declined due to insufficient evidence,” DA spokesman Ricardo Santiago told The Signal on Friday.

Congressman Combating Harassment Settled His Own Misconduct Case
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/20/us/politics/patrick-meehan-sexual-harassment.html
Mr. Meehan called on the former aide to waive the confidentiality agreement in the settlement “...“a desperate effort to preserve his career.” She said the congressman had demanded confidentiality in the first place, and was now asking her client to waive it... Mr. Meehan has been pushing for protections for domestic violence victims since his time as a local prosecutor. In Congress, he has sponsored legislation mandating the reporting of sexual violence, and he is a member of a bipartisan congressional task force to end such violence.... the House speaker, Paul D. Ryan, said that Mr. Meehan was being removed immediately from the House Ethics Committee, where he has helped investigate sexual misconduct claims, and that the panel would investigate the allegations against him. In addition, Mr. Ryan told Mr. Meehan that he should repay the taxpayer funds,...
Mr. Meehan’s case sheds new light on secretive congressional processes for handling such complaints, which advocates say are slanted to favor abusers, allowing them to use the vast resources of the federal government to intimidate, isolate and silence their victims.... After counseling and mediation sessions mandated by the Office of Compliance, the sides reached an agreement that included a settlement and a strict nondisclosure agreement, according to people familiar with the process.
The exact amount of the settlement could not be determined, partly because Mr. Meehan’s office paid it from a congressional office fund that allows such payments to be disguised as salary and reported months after they were made. But people familiar with the payout said it was thousands of dollars....

Former sergeant sues Summit County sheriff claiming illegal dismissal over alcoholism
https://www.denverpost.com/2018/01/19/summit-county-sheriff-sued-illegal-dismissal/
A former detective sergeant has sued Sheriff Jamie Fitzsimons claiming that firing him for being inebriated violated his constitutional rights because he suffers from alcoholism, a protected disability.
Jared Dennis filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Denver against Fitzsimons claiming that firing him violated the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.
Dennis is seeking reinstatement as a sergeant. He also is seeking compensation for back pay including lost benefits...
The events leading up to Dennis’ firing began with an accusation by his wife of domestic abuse.
In July of 2016, Dennis filed for divorce. His wife subsequently filed a domestic violence complaint at the Park County Sheriff’s Department, accusing Dennis of domestic abuse. Park County deputies filed a restraining order against Dennis, preventing him from going home...At the same time, Summit County Cmdr. Wes Mumford placed Dennis on paid administrative leave during an internal affairs investigation. He turned in his gun and sheriff’s vehicle....
The domestic violence charge against Dennis was dismissed in October of 2016.
“Plaintiff was able to perform the essential functions of the position he held – detective sergeant – with, or without, a reasonable accommodation, and is therefore a qualified individual with a disability under the Rehabilitation Act,” the lawsuit says.

John Conyers III filed paperwork to run for his father’s seat in Congress on Wednesday
Conyers III last month denied accusations of domestic violence in February when he was arrested by Los Angeles police.... Prosecutors declined to charge Conyers III after an altercation with a woman he was dating at the time, citing a lack of third-party witnesses to corroborate her claims. “That situation and the allegations against me are false,” Conyers III told The Detroit News last month. The woman alleged that Conyers III “body slammed her on the bed and then on the floor, where he pinned her down and spit on her.” That allegedly happened after he looked through her laptop and accused her of cheating on him.
Conyers III called 911 after the altercation and told police the woman had pulled a knife on him, according to records from the L.A. County District Attorney’s office. He said he had disarmed her, and she was injured during the struggle. The woman suffered a 1.5-centimeter “stab wound” to her inner lower bicep and received three stitches. Conyers III declined to detail the incident with The News last month, referring to his comments to the New York Times that the woman’s claim that he stabbed her “makes no sense.” He apologized for his role in “escalating the altercation.”

Manhattan Lawyer Disbarred for 'Unbridled' Conduct During Divorce, Custody Battle
https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2018/03/15/manhattan-lawyer-disbarred-for-unbridled-conduct-during-divorce-custody-battle/?slreturn=20180217085858
Writing that it had to protect the public, a state appeals court has disbarred a Manhattan lawyer for what it said was “egregious and outrageous” conduct during a long, bitter divorce and child custody battle with his now ex-wife. Anthony Jacob Zappin, once an associate at Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, was found to have lashed out for years while representing himself during legal warfare with Claire Comfort, his former wife who is also an attorney....The judge also found that: Zappin pursued frivolous litigation against his wife, her parents and her lawyers, he tried to defame the child’s attorney, and he filed a police report that falsely accused his wife of committing domestic violence against him, the court continued....He also engaged in acts of physical abuse against his wife, gave false testimony and introduced as evidence altered text messages at the custody trial, and put forward misleading expert-witness testimony, the court went on....
Yet to the last, Zappin, a 2010 graduate of Columbia Law School, remained unbowed, fighting judges and the courts at every turn, including in his challenges made to the First Department. Those included allegations of First Department justices having conflicts of interest; allegations of fraud by the Attorney Grievance Committee that sought to have Zappin disbarred; and a request that sanctions be imposed against the committee’s counsel. The panel found that all such accusations and requests were baseless, and it denied Zappin’s related motions that a 2016 order finding him guilty of professional misconduct be vacated, and that the grievance committee’s reply to a referee’s report on Zappin be stricken.
Instead, First Department Justices Rolando Acosta, Rosalyn Richter, Sallie Manzanet-Daniels, Troy Webber and Marcy Kahn wrote that Zappin’s inability to admit his own wrongs further weighed in favor of disbarring him. “Notwithstanding the repeated acts of egregious misconduct respondent has committed over the course of several years, he has neither demonstrated any remorse nor any acceptance of responsibility for his intolerable actions,” the panel wrote.
It also pointed out that he had been found—first via a 100-page decision issued in 2016 by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper, who helped preside over the divorce and custody proceedings—to have violated seven New York Rules of Professional Conduct: 22 NYCRR 1200.0 Rule 8.4(c) (conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation); Rule 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice); Rule 3.1 (frivolous litigation); Rule 3.3(a)(1) (knowingly make a false statement of fact or law to a tribunal); Rule 3.3(a)(3) (knowing use or offer of false evidence); Rule 3.3(f)(2) (undignified or discourteous conduct before a tribunal); and Rule 8.4(h) (other conduct adversely reflecting on fitness as a lawyer)....
He then went on to accuse the judges who’ve handled his matters of wrongdoing, and he claimed the First Department’s decision was based on false reports and was issued without him getting an opportunity to be heard. “In the meantime, I intend to appeal and continue to fight in federal court, while keeping my website up-to-date with new filings,” Zappin added. He also expected to ultimately have his license reinstated, he said....

New Stormy Daniels claim raises dark questions
The Stormy Daniels saga took an even darker turn on Friday morning during an interview with MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski. That’s when the attorney for the adult film star — who drew a following in January after alleging that she was paid hush money to keep quiet about an affair she says she had with Donald Trump — revealed that physical violence was floated as potential punishment if Daniels came forward about the alleged relationship.
“Was she threatened in any way?” Morning Joe co-host Brzezinski asked lawyer Michael Avenatti.
“Yes,” Avenatti answered. ...

What did report on accusations against Rep. Miccarelli conclude? Attorneys offer competing views
http://www.pennlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2018/03/miccarellis_lawyer_is_lying_sa.html
Lawyers for two women accusing state Rep. Nick Miccarelli of sexual assault and domestic violence are pushing back against his counsel's claims that a House investigation didn't find the women to be credible. The attorneys for state Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Luzerne County, and a Harrisburg political consultant said on Friday they wanted to counter one of Micarelli's attorneys' statements. "I honestly don't know how someone operating in good faith could assert so strongly falsehoods about this report," said Terry Mutchler, one of the attorneys representing the women. The House investigators issued their report based on their investigation of claims made on Feb. 8 by the women, each of whom dated Miccarelli between 2011 and 2014. They accused him of sexual or physical assault, stalking, intimidating, and other misconduct. The consultant, who has chosen not to be identified publicly, said he raped her the night their relationship ended. Toohil said he pointed a gun at her and threatened to kill them both by crashing his car. Following a Thursday court hearing that resulted in Toohil obtaining a three-year protection from abuse order against Miccarelli, one of his attorneys, Joseph Podraza Jr., was asked about a statement Mutchler made about House investigators believing the women's claims against Miccarelli. "It's false," Podraza said. "We'll weigh in just like that. It's false. There was no such determination along that line. Whoever you were hearing that from is false." ...

Pate denies domestic violence court record tell the real story

Agriculture Commissioner candidate Gerald Dial on Wednesday released documents filed in the Circuit Court in Montgomery County from his opponent Rick Pate’s 1986 divorce, which prove that Pate’s then-wife Carolyn Elizabeth Konrad Pate received a court issued restraining order, something very rare in that era.
Pate is denying these claims, but records tell the story of what his wife told the court in sworn testimony.
“Rick Pate has accused me of lies and mudslinging in this campaign, but these documents clearly show that I’ve told nothing but the truth,” said Dial. “His former wife made serious charges against him, and the Judge obviously took them seriously enough to issue a restraining order against him.”
“Rick Pate has tried to deny this ever happened, but the court records are proof. His former wife’s sworn statement speaks for itself.

In recent days, former Vice President Joe Biden’s behavior has been called into question after a number of women have spoken out about his handsy, out-of-touch nature. But in his lengthy résumé, there is one policy that Biden and his supporters tout as a nearly unimpeachable feminist success: the Violence Against Women Act. Biden, who wrote the landmark 1994 bill, calls it his proudest legislative achievement. From the very beginning, VAWA’s goal was to improve how police and prosecutors responded to the insidious problem of domestic violence, moving it out of the realm of private family matter and into the criminal justice system....

Both Sides of the Law: Police Department ignores national standards for officers accused of domestic violence
When Robert Velez's wife left their home to escape his abuse, he used his Milwaukee police training — and his badge — to track her down. First, Velez connected his missing wife to the Exel Inn hotel chain. ... Velez shoved past her into the room, where he found one of his fellow officers — whom he and his wife had known for about three years. Velez immediately began beating the man, telling him: "I'll break your f---ing neck! I'm going to kill you!" When his wife tried to break up the fight, Velez punched her in the face.... As a result of the 2001 incident, Velez was arrested for battery while armed, domestic violence battery and misconduct in public office — charges that could have landed him in prison for 5 ½ years and barred him from possessing a gun for the rest of his life. But that didn't happen. Not only did Velez avoid prison, he was suspended from the department for just six days.... Department leaders don't follow national standards on how to handle accusations of domestic violence against officers. Prosecutors often charge them with lesser crimes — or no crimes at all. As a result, officers who abuse their spouses or romantic partners are allowed to keep their jobs, carry loaded weapons and respond when battered women call for help, the newspaper found.... "They see it as protecting their own, but it's corruption," ...

A charge of domestic violence against the director of West Virginia’s Division of Natural Resources was retroactively revoked Tuesday morning in Florida’s St. Johns County Court. An order removing the “erroneously filed” information was filed in Stephen McDaniel’s case in county court, and the order effectively un-charges McDaniel with domestic violence after a report of an argument that turned violent between McDaniel and his ex-wife on April 6 in St. Augustine. The order had been filed by way of an information on April 23, and McDaniel signed a deferred prosecution agreement that was filed April 25, according to St. Johns County Court records.
With the order filed Tuesday, McDaniel now faces no charge, and the deferred prosecution agreement no longer is in effect....

A Nampa man who was convicted in April of murdering his parents had a history of domestic violence.
Five years ago, William Taylor pleaded down a domestic assault charge, involving his ex-wife, to disturbing the peace.

State Rep. Doug McLeod, R-Lucedale, who was arrested this past weekend on charges of domestic violence against his wife,...allegedly punching his wife in the face, bloodying her nose, after he thought she undressed for sex too slowly....Gov. Phil Bryant and Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, have urged McLeod to resign if the charges are true. While not a prolific fundraiser, recent campaign finance reports show that McLeod has received campaign contributions from lobbyists and several major multinational corporations, including tobacco manufacturer Reynolds American Inc. ($250), communications giant AT&T ($200) and international agrichemical company Monsanto ($250). Also making donations were megaretailer Walmart ($200) as well as Koch Industries ($300), the private firm owned by billionaire brothers who are heavily involved in Republican politics.... we obviously do not condone his alleged actions and we will suspend any further political support while authorities investigate the allegations.” Last fall, Major League Baseball asked U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith to return a $5,000 donation after she said she would attend a public hanging, which she called a joke....In the Legislature, McLeod has consistently voted along party lines. The Lucedale Republican voted in favor of every bill to limit abortion that made it to the House floor since he took office in 2012. He also voted for bills that strengthen domestic violence laws, including the 2017 provision that allows domestic violence as grounds for divorce. Each year he has voted for several symbolic resolutions honoring women, like a 2015 Senate resolution that designated March as women’s history month in Mississippi.

AIKEN, S.C. (AP) — A former South Carolina lawmaker sentenced to five years of probation after pleading guilty to domestic violence against his wife wants to end his probation early. Chris Corley was in court Wednesday with his wife, asking for his probation to end after a year and a half. Prosecutors say Corley attacked his wife the day after Christmas in 2016, beating her, biting her nose, pointing a gun at her and taking her cellphone. The Aiken Standard reports that Corley's lawyer Lir Derieg said Wednesday that Corley can't get his law license back until his probation ends, which greatly hurts his ability to make a living.
Derieg says Corley completed the anger management counseling and community service required.
The judge asked for documentation and a report on Corley's current mental state.

All four officers arrested on domestic violence charges last month are still employed by the Honolulu Police Department in administrative roles. Two face criminal charges.

Mark Bruce files lawsuit over ouster from Kansas Highway Patrol, points to 'debauchery' of others
https://www.hutchnews.com/news/20200116/mark-bruce-files-lawsuit-over-ouster-from-kansas-highway-patrol-points-to-debauchery-of-others/1
Former Kansas Highway Patrol superintendent Mark Bruce is asking the Kansas Supreme Court to let him return to the law enforcement agency where he worked for 30 years and, in an attempt to clear his name with legislators, blames the “debauchery” of other officers for his demise. Bruce was ousted by Gov. Laura Kelly’s administration in March 2019 for his handling of sexual misconduct and domestic violence scandals. Bruce filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking reinstatement as a major, the rank he held when he was appointed superintendent in 2015. In a letter to lawmakers, Bruce asserts he followed policy and was transparent about his actions as scandals unfolded.
“The impetus behind my departure was based on anonymous emails accusing me of ignoring or failing to act regarding separate incidents of sexual misconduct and domestic violence,” Bruce wrote in his letter. “These accusations are faceless and completely false. Sadly and unconscionable, current uniformed officers at multiple levels within the KHP were directly involved in the debauchery that unraveled what had been a spotless career and put an entire agency into a tailspin.”
The lawsuit asks for damages in excess of $10,000 for lost compensation, plus attorney fees. Bruce resigned as superintendent after questions were raised about a December 2018 incident in Excelsior Springs, Mo., and alleged workplace romance between KHP staff...

In #MeToo era, Kobe and other athletes often get a pass
https://www.newsday.com/sports/in-metoo-era-kobe-and-other-athletes-often-get-a-pass-1.41132461
While dozens of high-profile figures -- including senators, movie producers, news anchors and comedians (but not the president or the newest Supreme Court justice) -- have seen their careers vanquished by allegations of sex abuse and domestic violence, high-profile sports figures have skated past similar accusations at a far more frequent rate....
Here's a quick list from the recent past: relief pitcher Roberto Osuna, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, running back Ezekiel Elliott, quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Ben Roethlisberger, Sacramento Kings coach Luke Walton and Super Bowl 54-bound receiver Tyreek Hill of the Chiefs. All are among the sports stars who have had stomach-churning allegations leveled against them but have skirted major repercussions -- from their leagues, the teams, law enforcement or, in large part, in the court of public opinion....
The torrent of allegations against movie producer Harvey Weinstein in 2017 marked a turning point in the #MeToo era. Hollywood and, to some extent, Washington, took the brunt of the blame. Bill Cosby, Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K., Al Franken, Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose and Placido Domingo are a small part of a list of more than 250 public figures in entertainment, politics and media who have been accused of wrongdoing since the start of #MeToo. The majority have seen their careers either stymied or completely brought to a halt. There's very little doubt over which paragraph in their obituaries will contain details about the lowest moments of their lives.
And while nobody sheds any tears about that, there's an argument to be made that, with some exceptions, such as Woody Allen and Donald Trump, the leagues, the law and the public have meted out a different kind of judgment for them than for their brethren in sports.
Bryant's case was litigated both in the media and the courtroom. But the case never went to trial,...

A NSW police officer will fight an allegation that he lied to an ACT court during a case involving his wife, who was ultimately jailed for fabricating a rape claim.
Sarah-Jane Parkinson with her former partner, who she falsely accused of rape.
Senior Constable Scott John White is charged with perjury and the unauthorised possession of a weapon. He did not appear in the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday when lawyer Jacob Robertson entered pleas of not guilty to both charges on Mr White's behalf.

She also made false claims about her ex-partner's family, which caused police to reassess the rape claim. Parkinson's former partner, who was an ACT prison guard at the time of the false accusations, spent months behind bars on remand in Goulburn before police unravelled Parkinson's lies....

This could see the ANC Member of Parliament having to fork out another R1m for defamation of character. In a similar legal letter to Mamabolo by Ian Levitt, attorneys on behalf of Matlala, and which News24 has seen, she complains that the ANC parliamentarian made defamatory remarks about her to the Sowetan newspaper. "Your false accusations have now cast a dark cloud over the entire family," said Matlala's lawyers. They further claim, in the legal document, that Matlala views Mamabolo's comments as abuse of both her and her children. "Your false accusations have caused grave harm and damage to the family." 'Mock victims of gender-based violence' Mamabolo, during the State of the Nation Address (SONA) last week raised the issue of domestic violence, objecting to the EFF leader and his party's antics in the National Assembly, and stating that they wouldn't be "abused, the way in which Mantoa was being abused at home". On Tuesday this week, Malema and Mamabolo clashed again, as the ANC MP once again raised the matter during the SONA debate.

SHELTON, Conn. (WTNH) — In a newly released report, two Shelton officers have been fired for an alleged improper investigation into a domestic violence call. A third officer was also fired for “knowingly and intentionally” omitting vital information from the same domestic violence report, according to the termination letter.Shelton Police Chief Shawn Sequeira made the termination announcement following an internal investigation into Police Union President and officer John Napoleone and Police Union Vice President and officer Michael McClain in August 2019. Lt. Dave Moore was also listed, and all officers were fired for alleged dereliction of duty. The investigation was completed in November.
The report says officers Napoleone and McClain did not take a domestic violence complaint involving a Bridgeport policeman seriously. That same officer was on administrative leave and previously arrested for domestic violence four times. Chief Sequeira also notes that the officers’ alleged lack of action and communication led to further harm on the victim, including subsequently being sexually assaulted. Lt. Dave Moore is under termination by the police chief for attempting to cover up McClain’s and Napoleone’s misconduct in the investigation.

Miami police officer's wife dies after she gets trapped for hours in the back of his work vehicle
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/26/us/miami-police-officer-wife-trapped-dies-trnd/index.html
Clara Paulino, the wife of a Miami police officer, died after being found unconscious in the back of her husband's police SUV last week amid temperatures in the 90s.
Paulino was found by her son and her husband, police officer Aristides Paulino, a little after 5 p.m. Friday, Matt Reyes, the vice president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, told CNN. A cause of death has not been released....
Reyes said Paulino's SUV has bars on the windows, has a cage that separates the back seat from the front seat and has doors that lock and can only be opened from the outside. "It's an SUV so you really can't kick out the back window from that cage," Reyes added. Clara was effectively trapped in the back of the vehicle without her cell phone, Reyes said, and would have had no other way to let anyone know she was locked inside unless someone walked or drove by. Reyes also said the neighborhood the Paulinos live in doesn't have a lot of passersby that could have seen her in the vehicle. Per the National Weather Service Miami's climate report for August 21, Miami reached a high temperature of 92 degrees at 3:21 p.m.
"(Aristides) Paulino works midnights. He got home after his shift, went to sleep, woke up around 5 in the afternoon, was looking around the house for his wife, couldn't find her," Reyes said. "His son gets home, he helps him look for her ... they subsequently find her in the backseat of his police car unconscious." Reyes also said Paulino found his wife's phone on the back patio and that was one of the reasons he was wondering where she was. Clara's fingerprints were found all over the inside of the vehicle, he added.
It is unknown why Clara went inside her husband's vehicle, Reyes said. "It is unknown whether it (the vehicle) was locked or she unlocked it to look for something. Nobody really knows why she was back there or how she got back there ... it's not a weird thing (for a spouse to go in car), it's our take-home cars in our driveway, every day," Reyes said....

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/09/21/kentucky-goforth-indicted-arrest-gop/
As a freshman Kentucky legislator, state Rep. Robert S. Goforth (R) joined his colleagues to pass a bill that would make it easier to prosecute strangulation.
Last week, that same bill — now a state law after it passed at the urging of domestic violence advocates — became a factor in his own case: A grand jury in Laurel County, Ky., on Friday indicted Goforth, a former candidate for governor, on one count of first-degree strangulation and one count of assault in the fourth degree, according to the Corbin Times-Tribune.
Earlier this year, a woman said Goforth, 44, strangled her with an ethernet cable to the point where she had trouble breathing and threatened to “hog tie” her, according to a police report reviewed by the newspaper.
The charges have renewed calls from local Democrats for Goforth, a staunch supporter of President Trump who had previously been accused of sexual assault, to resign from his seat. Neither he nor his attorney, Conrad Cessna, immediately responded to requests for comment from The Washington Post....
