Sand Springs Officers Using Steroids
There is an internal investigation regarding steroid use among some police officers at the Sand Springs Police Department.
Channel 2 sat down with Chief Daniel Bradley today who says he had no choice but to look into what he calls a "rumor" he could not ignore.One officer has been suspended with pay, but Bradley says this is a standard procedure and does not mean he is using.
The Sand Springs Police Department has had it's share of responding to emergencies. Now, its responding to an incident of its own.
"We are right in the heart of this investigation," Said Chief Bradley.
Bradley says an officer tipped him off to possible anabolic steroid use among officers employed with the department.
"You have got to run rumors down. Rumors left unchecked, or untested will harm an entity, especially a police department," Bradley Said.
So the investigation began..."The next step was to see if we could find any suspicion. I am not going to use the word truth, just suspicion, and we found some," Said Bradley.
He won't say how many, but will say "some" officers were brought in for testing.While he waits for the results, he touts a solid track record of no grievances filed in 13 years.
"That in and of itself has got to play a big part in the lack of grievances over the years," Said Captain John Mars.He says an open door policy is the best policy.
"When officers have issues that they need to go see the chief about, they have no trouble knocking on his door and going and sitting down with him and discussing things," Said Mars.
No word yet on what will happen to the officers if test results come back positive, but chief Bradley says steroids without a prescription are illegal...and he says he doesn't want to disturb public trust.
"We all share in maintaining integrity in this department and maintaining integrity is not easy," Bradley said.
Chief Bradley says all officers are subject to random drug testing. They are each tested when hired, but steroids is not a drug on the list.
********************************
I think I heard on the news that one officer has been fired, but I couldn't find the story anywhere.
The way some officers act like they are all jacked up on something, and they don't test for steroid use? WTF??? Cops think everyone else should be arrested and checked for drug use, why shouldn't they be subjected to the same?
I've been around a few officers that were more than likely on steroids, but no one ever says anything because they are the law. I have to pat the officer on the back that turned one of his own in...that's a bold thing to do. There needs to be more cops like you around.

Florida Police Dump Quadriplegic Man From His Wheelchair
In Hillsborough County, Florida, police were caught, by their own surveillance cameras, dumping a quadriplegic man from his wheelchair and onto the ground. Apparently they were trying to determine whether or not he actually needed the chair.
Orient Road Jail surveillance footage from Jan. 29 shows veteran deputy Charlette Marshall-Jones, 44, dumping Brian Sterner out of his wheelchair and searching him on the floor after he was brought in on a warrant after a traffic violation.
Sterner, 32, said when he was taken into a booking room and told to stand up, Jones grew agitated when he told her that he could not.
"She was irked that I wasn't complying to what she was telling me to do," he told The Tampa Tribune. "It didn't register with her that she was asking me to do something I can't do."
....As for Sterner, he was arrested at his Riverview home and taken to the jail Jan. 29 on a charge of fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer, according to records. He posted $2,000 bond and was released Feb 3.
A warrant for Sterner's arrest was issued after an Oct. 25 incident, in which Tampa police stopped him in Ybor City. He was stopped while driving a Mini Cooper that had been fitted with hand pedals and was cited for blocking an intersection.
"My client was stopped that night and was given a traffic citation, so how could he be fleeing and eluding?" Sterner's lawyer John Trevena said. "We're very skeptical about the basis for the charge itself."
***********************************
The police fuck with people all the time everywhere. This is not unusual. They especially tend to fuck with people they know can't hire a lawyer. This just happened to backfire.I hope this guy sues the hell of out them and wins...But the said part is they will all gang up in their own little gang and say it wasn't their fault, it was the guy who was handicapped.
I hope these ass hats all get fired...especially the guy who laughed about it.
This is sad, and cops wonder why people are afraid of the them. I've heard of children being tasered so many time that I'm sick of it. They said that tasering would only be used in the most dangerous situation. It is used when ever they want to.

Bad Cops
Another Video of cops being wrong. Poor woman. But what people don't know is that this kind of thing happens all the time. Some police think they are above the law, and can do anything they want. It happened to me once. I hope like hell this woman is able to sue the shit of them...and wins!!
Woman Shot, Police Laugh about it
A crowd of Miami storm troopers shot an unarmed woman — twice. Then they joked and laughed about it. They also referred to innocent citizens as “scurrying cockroaches”.
An innocent Ohio woman was non-sexually gang raped by a group of cops and left naked for hours in her cell (AKA “strip searched”).
Honest, good police deserve everyones respect for doing a difficult job. But there is a dangerous trend occurring in this country that only seems to be getting worse. More and more limits are being placed on our civil and Constitutional rights while our police forces are simultaneously becoming more militarized.
Pointless and often brutal police state tactics include the tasing of our fellow citizens at the drop of a hat, which have sometimes resulted in the death of the victims — er, I mean “suspects”. This is nothing less than an instant death penalty of sorts, but without formal charges or a trial. Sadly, these incidents may be only the beginning if this trend continues. If it can happen to these people, it can happen to any of us.

The Price of Weed
Several people have been asking me what is the average price for weed, so I thought I would break it down for the people who want to know.
Let’s start off with a DIME bag...$10.00
It will weigh approximately 2 or 3 grams, and will make 2 or 3 joints...depending on the size you make the joint.
Next up a 20 bag...cost $20.00
It will weigh approximately 5 to 6 grams, and will make 5 to 7 joints.
You can also buy a quarter bag...cost $25.00
Weighs approximately 6 to 7 grams, and makes 6 to 8 joints.
Next size normally sold is a half ounce...cost anywhere from $25...to $60...all depends on the quality of the weed to the price you will have to pay.
Weighs 14 grams...and makes around 14 to 20 joints.
For an ounce the cost runs somewhere between $50 to as high as $120...again it all depends on who you are getting it from and the quality of the weed.
Weighs 28 grams...and makes approximately 30 joints...depending on size rolled.
Next is the QP (Quarter Pound) which is 4 ounces and cost from $200 to $300.
Then we have the Pound (16 ounces) ...which will cost any where from $700 to over a $1000 dollars if the stuff is really good.
Hope this information helps...and happy smoking.

Tasers for Cops...Unneccessary!!!

'LESS THAN LETHAL' | Maker says they're safe, but a county study finds they can cause heart rhythm problems -- even death
January 31, 2008
BY FRANK MAIN AND FRAN SPIELMAN Staff Reporters/fmain@suntimes.com fspielman@suntimes.com
Tasers could soon become standard equipment for Chicago Police beat cops as a "less than lethal" alternative to guns, but a Cook County study has found the electric-shock weapons can trigger heart rhythm problems -- and even death.
The city is seeking bids for 2,500 tasers, far beyond the 350 now in use by the department. The department also is considering putting cameras on Tasers to record how the weapon was used.
Tasers are not cheap. Some departments have spent as much as $1,000 per weapon.
The pistol-like weapons expel two darts connected to 35-foot-long wires. The barbs deliver an immobilizing 50,000-volt shock.
"We view them as a less-than-lethal option," police spokeswoman Monique Bond said of the department's Tasers, which were discharged 181 times in 2006.
But Dr. Andrew Dennis, a Stroger Hospital trauma surgeon and part-time Des Plaines police officer, warned that Tasers can kill.
He was part of a team in the Cook County trauma unit that studied pigs over the last two years. In one test, 11 pigs were hit with 40-second electrical bursts. After a 10-second delay, they were zapped again for 40 seconds. The bursts caused "significant rhythm problems," and two pigs died of ventricular fibrillation, Dennis said. Other tests showed the barbs' location can affect the heart's rhythm, he said.
"I am not anti-Taser," he said. "However, I think the device does have the potential for lethality."
Dennis said officers often are trained "that it cannot hurt anyone, and that's not true."
"I think the potential for harm is small, but it does exist. In no way, shape or form do I think Tasers should come off the market, but education should be modified so officers are trained for the potential risk," he said
Officers should have access to automated external defibrillators in case a suspect goes into cardiac arrest because of a Taser, Dennis said.
A Taser International spokesman said the firm questions the way the study was conducted and pointed to other studies on humans that did not find a link between Tasers and heart problems. Dennis, in turn, questioned the independence and methods of those studies.In 2005, the Cook County medical examiner's office ruled that Ronald Hasse, 54, died following the use of a Taser. A Chicago Police sergeant used the device to subdue Hasse, who was unruly and high on methamphetamine, officials said.
Electrocution was the primary cause of death, and drugs were a contributing factor, the autopsy found.
Taser International, which counts former Chicago Police Supt. Terry Hillard as a consultant, disputed the autopsy.
The Chicago Police Department suspended the distribution of more Tasers after Hasse's death, but the ban was lifted after the department deemed them safe.
*****************************
How in the hell can they say tasers are safe???
Cops are killing people just because they are too fucking lazy to get off their donut eating asses and chase someone who is trying to run or resist.
Come on motherfuckers...you(police) are in shape...at least most of you are now days... you shouldn't have that much of a problem taking down someone who is drunk, old, or out of shape.
I think they should ban the tasers along with guns...do away with them and go back to fighting with sticks...no body dies that way.
There has to be a better way...what about using a more mild form of the taser? Less volts???
It's just boys wanting more toys.
Here is what a police officer on another board had to say...."Holy crap, 40 seconds, x2??? Damn skippy a couple of them died. It's the difference between a couple of well placed strikes to subdue someone, and beating them half to death. Morons!"
Okay so you tell me that in the heat of an adrenaline rush this cop is going to be able to hit someone in the right place???? Oh come on you morons...you can't hit a subject in the leg with a gun, so how are you going to make sure you hit them with a taser in the RIGHT place? Not going to happen. Plus tell the truth...most cops go to work everyday hoping they get a chance to taser or even shoot someone...Police live for the moment.

Trooper Jason Wayne Henry Arrested for Domestic Abuse
Anytime an officer of the law is arrested for domestic violence, per the lautenberg act, he should be charged by the State's Attorney's with no involvement from the police union. He committed a crime and was also drunk. No excuses!
Oklahoma State Highway Patrol trooper's Jason Wayne Henry has been arrested in Guthrie for domestic abuse. Henry was arrested early New Year's Day following an altercation with his girlfriend at the home of the woman's ex-husband.
Henry is also charged in Logan County District Court with obstructing an officer and public intoxication.
He was put on administrative leave with pay Thursday after being named in a misdemeanor domestic abuse charge.
Henry, 32, was arrested early New Year's Day following an altercation with his live-in girlfriend, E. Dixon, according to court records.
Henry, who has been a state trooper since 1999, is free from jail on his own recognizance. He appeared Wednesday in Logan County District Court in Guthrie on the criminal counts, and for a protective order application filed by Dixon. An emergency protective order was granted against Henry.
His next court appearance on the criminal counts and protective order is scheduled Jan. 11.

Sgt James Kuehnlein Accused of Threatening to Invent Charges
ST. GEORGE, Mo.
A suburban St. Louis police sergeant has been put on unpaid suspension, accused of threatening to invent charges against a driver who caught the exchange on videotape.
The driver, Brett Darrow, 20, recorded Friday’s exchange with Sgt. James Kuehnlein with a dashboard videocamera he installed after past run-ins with police. He posted the video online Saturday.
“I wanted everybody to see that this kind of stuff does happen,” Darrow told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in Tuesday’s edition. “I thought if I just go to the chief or whatever, it would just get swept under the rug.”
In the video, Kuehnlein approaches Darrow, who was sitting in a parked car at about 2 a.m. in a commuter lot. Kuehnlein asks for identification.
When Darrow asks whether he did anything wrong, the officer orders him out of the car and begins shouting.
“You want to try me? You want to try me tonight? You think you have a bad night? I will ruin your night. Do you want to try me tonight, young boy?”
Darrow says no.
“Do you want to go to jail for some (expletive) reason I come up with?” the police officer says. Later, Darrow says, “I don’t want any problems, officer.”
After about 10 minutes, Darrow is allowed to go.
Chief criticizes officer's actions on tape
The recording, posted on YouTube.com, brought more than 300 protest calls to St. George Police Chief Scott Uhrig.
“I was very displeased when I saw the actions on the video,” Uhrig said. “My officers are not trained and taught to act like that.”
A listed number could not be found for Kuehnlein for comment.
Uhrig said Kuehnlein stopped to talk to Darrow because police have received reports of thefts from cars in the area. But Uhrig said the officer’s actions and tone were inappropriate.
“Someone either violated the law or they didn’t. You don’t say, I’ll lock you up and then come up with why afterward,” Uhrig said.
