West Virginia homeless man loses only photos of dead wife when cop throws backpack in river

After getting out of jail, Hunt complained that Lightner had tossed his backpack off the bridge, including a laptop with the only photos he owned of his dead wife.

The Charleston Police Department eventually agreed to an undisclosed settlement with Hunt after the dive team recovered his belongings.

Yes, you are a real fucking hero, officer. Oh, what's that? You have an excuse?

For his part, Lightner called dealing with homeless people a “frustrating job.”

“It takes a toll on you,” he said.

Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster confirmed had been suspended without pay since Sept. 9. But he would not comment on sources who said that Lightner had agreed to resign to avoid being charged with destruction of property.

Poor baby. Fuck off.

A Chandler police sergeant lost her rank, and nearly lost her job, when she ordered her subordinates to single out Native American shoplifting suspects for being booked into jail, rather than being cited and released with a ticket, according to an internal-affairs investigation.

In an unusual move, Sgt. Sue Freeman was demoted to officer and agreed to leave the department by Dec. 31, 2015, or whenever she reaches her 20 years of service to qualify for her pension, according to the report. The demotion was in lieu of dismissal after the investigation sustained charges of conduct unbecoming an officer.

Freeman's patrol officers interpreted her order as representing biased policing, singling out Native Americans for being booked, rather than a simple citation, according to the investigation, obtained by The Arizona Republic under the Arizona Public Records Law.

Well, Chandler is a nice white suburb and they don't want to no stinking in'juns there anyway. Apparently, in Chandler, racial profiling gets you a sweetheart deal.
