Topic 1 concerns Acapulco Police Chief Manuel Flores creating Mexico’s first all-female police force. The female police officers are between the ages of 18 to 28 and are all beautiful women.
Topic 2 concerns a whistleblower lawsuit filed by Acting Sergeant Jaclyn Jiras against her agency, the New Jersey State Police. While working as a background investigator for five months, A/Sgt. Jiras set applicants aside for disqualification due to criminal backgrounds and colorful legal histories. Despite automatic disqualifiers, several of the recruits were sent through the process anyway allegedly due to the Attorney General’s Office and the NAACP wanting more diversity. Named in the lawsuit are the State of New Jersey, the State Police, Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes and Capt. Mark Santiago. Quoted in the story is NAACP Criminal Justice Chairman Melvin Warren. Also involved and facing discipline, besides A/Sgt. Jiras, is Sgt. Chris Griffin.
Topic 3 concerns retired California Highway Patrol Officer Robert Pitt suing the Santee Sheriff’s Office for offenses including false arrest, excessive force and unlawful search & seizure. Retired CHP Officer Pitt had a permit to carry a concealed firearm on a high school campus, but on orders of Santee High School Principal Tim Schwuchow, Deputy David R. Smith detained, searched and arrested him. Pitt was also placed in the general jail population.
Topic 4 concerns members of NYPD’s 7th Precinct’s Domestic Violence Unit posting selfies (more than 16 photos) and two videos on a suspect’s phone. The suspect was arrested for violating a Protection Order and discovered more than 16 photographs and two videos on his phone days later. Police state that they thought it was another officer’s phone and were playing a practical joke.
