Watch: Footage Shows Atlanta Cop Stealing Cash from Homicide Victim

https://newsmaven.io/pinacnews/cops...-from-homicide-victim-nXe9YbZ0tU6kZPyzAEyQwg/

An Atlanta police officer has been fired for mishandling money that belonged to a homicide victim.

Footage from Atlanta Police Department Officer Keisha Richburg's body-worn camera shows the alleged incident unfolding on June 19.

The Atlanta Police Department released a 130-page report along with body camera video revealing Richburg's alleged theft. Richburg was fired on July 8.



Atlanta police Chief Erika Shields says Richburg mishandled the belongings of a dead homicide victim while responding to a shooting in Atlanta. The report said Richburg stole $500 in cash out of the wallet of the victim. Richburg was supposed to take the victim's wallet, money, and phone to the hospital for his family.



Richburg's body camera shows her receiving the victim's wallet, cash, and cell phone from a paramedic,WGAL News reports. The wallet had $500 folded and tucked inside. Seconds later, Richburg puts the wallet in her car.

In the video Richburg is seen transferring the victim's wallet from her right hand to her left hand. That's when Atlanta police noticed the money was no longer tucked inside the wallet.

Richburg arrived at Grady Hospital, where the victim was transported. She handed off the now-empty wallet to a Homicide Unit sergeant.

The investigation was never able to determine what Richburg did with the cash. Once the administrative case file is closed, it will be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office for review.

Chief Shields said officer integrity is at the heart of the department, and Richburg's actions violated the trust between the public and police.

Atlanta police say:

"Richburg violated the department's recovered property, truthfulness and appropriate action required rules."

No federal charges for NYPD officer who killed Eric Garner, sources say

The city medical examiner's office ruled the death a homicide in the days after his death, and the medical examiner testified that Pantaleo's alleged chokehold caused an asthma attack and was "part of the lethal cascade of events."
US attorneys with the Eastern District of New York have called a news conference Tuesday regarding the Garner case.

The decision means that Pantaleo will not face any criminal charges related to Garner's death. Federal investigators have been examining the circumstances of Garner's death since 2014, after a grand jury in New York declined to indict the Staten Island officer.

Barr sides against civil rights officials in declining to bring charges against NYPD officer in Garner case

Detroit cops arrest police commissioner, protester at raucous public meeting

Detroit Police Commissioner Willie Burton was yanked out of his seat and arrested during a public meeting Thursday because the chairwoman wanted him to stop talking.

Burton was trying to call out the Board of Police Commissioners for holding illegal committee meetings that neither he nor the public were allowed to attend. During one of those closed-door sessions, commissioners quietly hashed out a policy for the city’s pervasive and controversial facial recognition system.

But board chairwoman Lisa Carter didn’t want to hear it.

Police commissioner slams 'Gestapo tactics' at meeting

Commissioner Willie Burton added Friday the experience taught him a lesson: "Jail is not pretty," he said.

Detroit's police chief on Friday supported his officers' actions, insisting it's vital that order be kept during meetings — and that violators will be continue to be held accountable.

Burton called Thursday's events "an inhumane experience; something I wouldn't wish on anyone."

"I was handcuffed and taken to jail for trying to speak during a meeting," Burton said. "They're shutting down democracy. It's a dangerous time in Detroit right now."

Board chair Lisa Carter sees it differently. She said Burton was warned several times Thursday to stop disrupting the meeting at the Durfee Information Center on Collingwood Street on the city’s west side.


"Everyone has a right to speak, but you can't just be disorderly," she said after Thursday's meeting. "You need to have order, and I'm not going to put up with that."

Burton said officers were out of line by cuffing him and taking him to jail, but police chief James Craig said the commissioner left his officers no other choice.

"I don’t agree with the characterization that the police department is using Gestapo tactics," Craig said. "There are very clear rules of conduct in public meetings.

"We vehemently support the constitutional right of free speech — but there comes a point during a meeting where it exceeds what’s defined as free speech, and it becomes disruptive," he said.

Report: 13 Philadelphia Officers Suspended "With Intent to Dismiss" for Social Media Posts

https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/19/us/philadelphia-social-media-officers-leave-trnd/index.html
Report: 13 Philadelphia officers suspended "with intent to dismiss" for social media posts - CNN

(CNN) - Thirteen Philadelphia police officers have been suspended for 30 days "with intent to dismiss" following an investigation into hateful or racist social media content compiled by The Plain View Project, the city's police commissioner announced on Thursday.

Four additional officers with less offensive posts will receive a 30-day suspension, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross Jr. said at Thursday's conference.

The commissioner said the department will not be naming the officers at this time.

Seventy-two officers were taken off the streets and placed on administrative duty following allegations that officers posted hateful or racist content online. Last month, Philadelphia police conducted its owninvestigation of social media posts made by 328 active police officers that allegedly included Confederate imagery, anti-Muslim sentiments, violent rhetoric and racist comments. The "lion's share" of reviewed posts did not advocate violence, said Ross.

A police representative said Thursday the investigation denied the accused officers their legal rights.

"We're aware of the dismissals and disappointed that our officers will be terminated without due-process," John McNesby, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5, said Thursday. "We are currently meeting with each officer to prepare an appropriate response to protect our members' rights under the contract."

Ross said that when posts were reviewed with the help of legal experts, "our analysis included a balance of the officers' constitutional rights and the integrity of the police department, which is necessary to protect the citizens of Philadelphia."

Ross said many of the 72 officers who were removed from street duty will be penalized based on the department's policy for general violations of social media. Such penalties range from a reprimand to a 5-day suspension, Ross explained.

The social media posts were originally compiled by The Plain View Project, which describes itself as a "database of public Facebook posts and comments made by current and former police officers from several jurisdictions across the United States."

Philadelphia is not the only city that has come under fire by The Plain View Project or been influenced by its findings: The St. Louis Police Department has launched its own investigation after the Project linked racist and anti-Muslim Facebook posts to accounts of its officers.

Ross said, "I continue to be very angry and disappointed by these posts, many of which in my view violate the basic tenets of human decency." He said the department is exploring new mandatory training programs and revisiting social media policies. "This takes us back," he said.
McNesby said the "overwhelming majority" of the members of the Fraternal Order of Police in his lodge serve Philadelphia "with integrity and professionalism."

PC bought TV porn while child lay dead in house

A Met Police officer has admitted buying pornography at the family home of a dead child while he waited for an undertaker to arrive.

PC Avi Maharaj was on duty alone at the south London home when he used the family's Virgin TV account and spent £25.96 on 11 February 2018.

It is understood he made four purchases - at least two of which were made when the child's body remained in the house.

Maharaj, 44, of Kingswood Place, Hayes, has indicated a guilty plea to fraud.

After Tuesday's hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court, he was bailed for pre-sentence reports to be made for a hearing on 6 August.

The Met said the officer, from the south west command unit, is currently on restricted duties.

His conviction follows a complaint from a member of the child's family, which led to an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

The watchdog also found evidence he may have falsified his attendance log to cover his actions.

IOPC regional director Sal Naseem, said: "PC Maharaj's behaviour was shocking and even more so given he was guarding the property in the absence of the homeowner.

"Not only were his actions deceitful but he caused considerable distress for the family involved who were dealing with the sudden death of a family member.

"I am sorry that the family involved had to deal with this while also coping with the tragic loss of their child."

The Met said misconduct proceedings will take place following the conclusion of criminal proceedings.
