NJ police officer charged with sexually assaulting 2nd child

MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. – A Trenton police officer is facing additional charges after he was accused of allegedly raping a second minor, the Burlington County Prosecutor said Tuesday.

William L. Sanchez-Monllor, 36, of Burlington Township was first arrested last week after he was accused of sexually abusing an underaged child, police said.

Officer Sanchez-Monllor was initially charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault in the first degree, two counts of sexual assault in the second degree, and one count on endangering the welfare of a child in the second degree in that case.

Sanchez-Monllor, who resides on the 600 block of Neck Road, is now facing an additional six counts of aggravated sexual assault in the first degree and one count of endangering the welfare of a child in the second degree.

The new charges come after a second victim accused the police offers of sexual assault, police said.

Was just reading about some cop in deep trouble for planting dope evidence in cars.

Another good reason not to ever call them, or roll you windows down in a traffic stop.

Who knows what might get "dropped" into your car?

Right here in Hawaii county...

Trial for ex-officer accused of killing cyclist moves forward

https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2018/10/01/hawaii-news/trial-for-ex-officer-accused-of-killing-cyclist-moves-forward/

Jury selection will get underway first thing Tuesday, followed by opening statements in the case in which prosecutors will work to prove Buddemeyer guilty of first-degree negligent homicide, tampering with physical evidence and making a false report to law enforcement in connection with the March 1, 2015, crash that killed Jeffrey Surnow, a 69-year-old visitor from Michigan.

A police misconduct report presented to the Hawaii County Police Commission in February 2016, which does not include names because of state law, said an officer was terminated in 2015 for tampering with the scene after being involved in a traffic fatality.

Minneapolis SWAT Team Raids Wrong House

https://www.foxnews.com/story/minneapolis-swat-team-raids-wrong-house

With her six kids and husband tucked into bed, Yee Moua was watching TV in her living room just after midnight when she heard voices — faint at first, then louder. Then came the sound of a window shattering.

Moua bolted upstairs, where her husband, Vang Khang, grabbed his shotgun from a closet, knelt and fired a warning shot through his doorway as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He let loose with two more blasts. Twenty-two bullets were fired back at him, by the family's count.

Police apologized to the family and placed the seven officers on leave while it investigates what went wrong.

Such mistakes are a fact of police work, some experts said.

"Does going to the wrong address happen from time to time? Yes," said John Gnagey, executive director of the National Tactical Officers Association in Doylestown, Pa. "Do you corroborate as best you can the information the informant gives you? Absolutely. But still from time to time mistakes are made."

One of the biggest botched raids in recent years happened in Atlanta in 2006, when police killed a 92-year-old woman in a hail of nearly 40 bullets after she fired a shot at what she thought were intruders. Police had gone to her house on a drug raid, but no drugs were found.

Prosecutors said that in obtaining a search warrant, Atlanta police falsely told a judge that an informant had confirmed drug dealing there. The scandal led to a shake-up in the department, two officers pleaded guilty to manslaughter and civil rights charges, and the city faces at least two lawsuits.

Reliable figures on the frequency of erroneous raids are hard to come by. Federal agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service, said they do not keep track.

A study last year by the libertarian Cato Institute said: "Because of shoddy police work, over-reliance on informants, and other problems, each year hundreds of raids are conducted on the wrong addresses, bringing unnecessary terror and frightening confrontation to people never suspected of a crime."

Chicago cop found guilty of second degree murder of Laquan McDonald

https://www.foxnews.com/us/jason-van-dyke-trial-chicago-cop-found-guilty-of-second-degree-murder-of-laquan-mcdonald

Jason Van Dyke, the white Chicago police officer accused of fatally shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times in less than 30 seconds, was found guilty of second degree murder Friday.

Van Dyke was also found guilty of 16 counts of aggravated battery. He was found not guilty in a count of official misconduct. Van Dyke had been charged with first-degree murder. The judge had also told jurors they could consider second-degree murder.

Ahead of the verdict, Judge Vincent Gaughan warned people in the courtroom to contain their outbursts, adding, “If you do act out, I will have you arrested.”
“Look into your heart and control your emotions,” he said. “This will not be easy for anyone on either side.”

McDonald was shot 16 times in 2014. The shooting was captured on police dash camera video and sparked years of racial tension in the Illinois city.

The cop acted like a soldier in a war situation.
He deserved the jury ruling.
We in Hawaii have police forces that think they are
in a war zone and all civilians are the enemy.
It happens here as the police act like Warriors.
When they are supposed to be peace keepers.
There was one year on my island when cops killed
more innocent people than the "criminals" did.
We need to do what is necessary.
