Police Coercion in Super Aggravated Sexual Assault Case The application of coercion is always a matter of control and it has not been quite so blatant in recent headlines as a case in which a Texas sheriff’s deputy was held for “super aggravated sexual assault” of a 4-year-old child. The authorities indicate that the victim’s mother, an undocumented immigrant, was being blackmailed to maintain her silence regarding the abuse or face deportation. Jose Nunez, a detention officer with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, was arrested while he was off-duty after the frightened mother took her daughter to a fire station for...

Ohio Police Officer Abuses Power The abuse of power by law enforcement officers knows no bounds, as was proven once again when Lorain, Ohio police officer John Kovach made the choice to deal with family drama by detaining his daughter’s boyfriend for no reason. This case of police abuse of power is particularly troubling when you learn that the Makai Coleman, the detained boyfriend, is African American and Kovach established a plan which required he digitally track his daughter’s computer and was outright recorded via dashboard camera telling Coleman that he was willing to create a reason for the arrest. The officer...

The Alarming Statistics of Police Misconduct and Brutality

The Alarming Statistics of Police Misconduct and Brutality Law enforcement work is a difficult and life-threatening job, with extremely high levels of stress. The majority of police officers are honest and committed to upholding the civil rights and liberties as guaranteed by the supreme law of the United States – the United States Constitution. The sacrifices made by law enforcement officers on our behalf are often under-appreciated and unnoticed. Our communities depend on good and ethical police officers, and a vast majority of us support their efforts. Unfortunately, abuse of power and violation of our trust does happen. Even just one case...

The attack is believed to have stemmed from a call Washington’s fiancé Darnesha McMillan placed to 911, when he started vomiting and foaming at the mouth. McMillan reports that rather than offering medical assistance, the officers who reported to the scene charged Washington, shoving him to the floor and then punched and tased him. The police have since claimed that Washington was high on drugs, but have failed to provide...

Members of the San Bruno Police Department responded to the scene with an active shooter on grounds. While three people did suffer injuries, quick and orderly police intervention resulted in a single death caused by self-inflicted gunshot wound. One news report in which local police acted...
