Seattle Police Department Case Summary

It was a time in the city’s history to get the perpetrators of the crime committed and to be recognized as solving the greatest crime of time. Media and public presence played a huge role in pressuring law enforcement to figure out this awful incident. The demand from the public was pushing from all sides of this story to get answers.

CW went to 1261 Everton Dr, Apt 9 Akron, OH 44307 because they were called out by Akron Police Department (APD) for allegations of abuse towards 2 children. CW Jonathon Henry and CW Sonya Cole pulled up to the apartment complex and observed that there were over 15 people sitting outside. Both CW could tell that this was the correct address because there were 3 police cars that were sitting outside. As the CW's were walking towards the apartment complex an APD officer asked if the two workers were from CSB. CW Cold responded that they were. The officer then told CW's that there were not 2 children, however, there was 3. The officer stated that there was one child in the bedroom sleeping that they did not know was in the home. CW's were also told by the officer that Mr. Brian Burrell (AP) was in the home and that he was very agitated. The officer told the CW that they had called him down, however, suspected that he would get upset after entering the home. The officer also said that he already knew that the kids were in the custody of CSB and that he would most likely not be happy that the two CW's were at the home. The officer the led both the CW upstairs to apartment 9.

Each year citizens die in encounters with law enforcement officers. It is reported that “Americans are eight times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist” (Rucke, 2013). Although there is no official data base tracking these occurrences it is estimated that between 500 and a 1,000 people are killed by police officers each year. To put this in greater perspective this number equals approximately 5,000 since the 9/11 terror attack which is roughly the same number as U.S. soldiers who have been killed in the line of duty in Iraq (Rucke, 2013). This statistic is justifiably concerning. The cause of police related killings are multifold and cannot be attributed to only one factor. Many deaths may be unavoidable and perhaps, dependent on the situation, necessary. I contend, however, that many of these deaths may very well be preventable.

On December 24th 2012 a few firemen in west Webster, my hometown, responded to a working house fire. When they arrived on scene a gunman opened fire with a firearm killing LT. Mike Chipperini of the Webster police department. Also killing Tomasz Kaczowka of the West Webster fire department, and injuring two other fire fighters. Webster police found the gunman William Spengler dead near the scene with a Self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head (Rochester NY news). This incident hit close to home for many people because things like

Over the past several years, and especially now in the past two years, innocent black men are being killed every day by police officers. More often than not, see news headlines of more and more black lives being taken. Innocent lives being taken by officers who serve little to no justice. Eric Garner, Alton Sterling, and Philando Castile are only just a few names on the long and growing list of the black victims of police brutality. Police officers should be held more accountable in cases against police brutality so the list of innocent black lives doesn’t keep growing.

On 11/03/2016, Robert Stanley on behalf of his employer Hennessy Construction contacted the Pasco Sheriff`s Office by telephone to report burglary of a conveyance, a grand theft, petit theft and criminal mischief at a construction site.

Three Detroit police officers from the narcotics division Lt. David Hansberry, Kevlin Omar Brown and Officer Bryan Watson, used their authority as law enforcement to arrange drug deals, pose traffic stops, falsify arrests and extort victims, in order to steal money and drugs that were then sold for profit. Items that were seized from arrest were never logged into evidence violating departmental policy.

Some horrific cases have happened throughout the years. Brining these cases to the public’s attention will help show how much of a problem police brutality really is. Police brutality is the use of force that is exceeding the necessary amount of force (“Police Brutality,” n.d.). In 2011, a 37 year old mentally ill homeless man was laying on the ground when police were kicking and punching him eventually leading to his death (Akkoc, 2018). In 2014, Eric Garner an African American male was being arrested for selling loose cigarettes when he was wrestled to the ground by a New York police officer who had him in a banned chokehold technique (Akkoc, 2018). Eric Garner told him, “I can’t breathe (Akkoc, 2018, Sec. 5)” multiple times, but the officer

On Friday, 12/08/2017, at approximately 0750 hours, Joseph Martinez reported his mother Carole Montenegro was involved in a domestic dispute with her ex boyfriend James Casey. This occurred at 7555 Mission Street. Both parties were not on scene and were unable to be contacted at the time of the report. Montenegro later reported being the victim of domestic violence (See case number #17009222) and Casey was arrested and booked into the San Mateo County jail .

A claim that prison officials used excessive force on an inmate and thereby inflicted cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment involves both objective and subjective elements. Stanley v. Hejirika, 134 F.2d 629, 634 (4th Cir. 1998). The objective element of the analysis requires a determination of whether the defendants’ actions offend contemporary standards of decency. Hudson v. McMillian, 503 U.S. 1, 8 (1992). To answer this question, the Court weighs the need for the application of the force, the relationship between the need for the use of force and the amount of force used, the extent of the injury inflicted, the extent of the threat to the safety of staff and inmates as reasonably perceived by the defendants and any efforts made to temper the severity of the use of force.

The first call into 911 was made around 7:18pm of an armed man walking down Pioneer Avetowards the woods on the wet end of the street. The RCMP responded immediately. Setting up perimeters around the woods and neighborhood. Bourque had been spotted as he emerged from the words, crossing the street and entering woods that boarded the backyards of several homes in the area. Three officers trailed him, and as Bourque headed for a backyard one of the officers shouted to him and Bourque opened fire at officer Frabice Gevaudan but missed. The officer ran, radioing in that he was being shot at before being struck twice in the torso dying almost immediately.

A St. Louis Police officer has been ambushed and killed by a gunman. The officer was ambushed during a shooting on Sunday. Around 7:30 p.m. Sunday night, a gunman pulled up in a silver car next to a marked Chevy Tahoe and opened fire. One of the officers who was involved in the shooting was a 46 year old man (no name given), who has served in the police force for over 20 years. He was shot twice in the head, but is expected to live. The officer who was killed was not trying to pull over the suspect, rather he was just driving down the road in his police vehicle. Also, evidence has concluded that the officer’s gun was never drawn. Once the suspect had shot the officer, he fled the crime. Search for the victim had involved the SWAT team, and

For many who have made law enforcement his or her life long career and who are in a management or leadership role will often agree how policing has changed greatly in the past two decades. Law enforcement officers in today’s society must and without hesitation serve with purest amount of justice, make quick and accurate decisions, protect, sympathize, empathize, and all while having a good relationship with the public. Because of events that have occurred in the cities of Ferguson, New York, and Baltimore, The President of the United States, signed an Executive Order establishing the Task Force on 21st Century Policing on December 18, 2014. Coming face to face with corruption in all levels in law enforcement was difficult challenge and detrimental
