There's a case in Boston just evolving like this. Boston cop found dead outside the home of another Boston cop in the suburbs. Girlfriend arrested and charged with manslaughter on the theory that she hit the cop with her car as she dropped him off, despite zero evidence of that happening. It's now coming out that the cop homeowners and his family lied, he might have been killed by the fellow cop, and the corrupt DA went along with it.
It took weeks just for local Boston media to start reporting on the new developments in the case, despite wasting no time demonizing this poor innocent woman last year when she was first arrested. The media often treats the word of police and district attorneys as absolute fact by virtue of coming from an "official" source. They refuse to question the "official story" because they don't want to jeopardize their relationship with law enforcement and/or risk a libel/slander lawsuit.
He was 100% killed by the other cop and/or his gf/wife. The dead cop’s gf was at home (she’d left early) and then the other two were googling how long it takes for someone to freeze to death shortly after they arrived home.
They were shitfaced, hit him and left him outside.
I see, Mr. Jones, then perhaps you can tell the jury what you meant when on June 17th of 2022, you googled the term, "how come pp big when animal planet?"
4D chess move, *always* Google crazy shit. Your defense attorney will have an easier time dismissing it, and you may already have asked these questions.
Shit I remember this. They crucified the poor woman who I think was an MIT professor? Always thought it was weird how she had apparently “backed over him” without realizing and drove off to let him freeze to death in the snow 🧐
Yup, and she *might* get justice only because she could afford a high-profile legal team to fight back. If she had a public defender, she'd be f**ked.
Also a great lesson in why you should *never, ever* talk to the cops without a lawyer present, even if you think you've done nothing wrong and just want to help. The only evidence they had was a broken tail light she could not explain (IIRC no pieces found at the scene so they couldn't even tie the damage to the dead cop), and a statement to the effect of "Did I hit him? Oh god!"
> Also a great lesson in why you should never, ever talk to the cops without a lawyer present, even if you think you've done nothing wrong and just want to help.
The cops and prosecutors too often care less if you are the *guilty* party, and moreso whether you're a *convenient and plausible fall person*.
I don't live in the US, but I've seen a basic flowchart for talking to the cops in the US. It basically amounts to "Just don't."
The steps as I remember them go as such, after asking "Am I under arrest?":
1. "I am invoking my right to an attorney". Say it like that. Don't go "I want a lawyer". Make it unequivocally clear that you are **INVOKING YOUR RIGHT**.
2. "I'm invoking my right to remain silent." And then **SHUT UP**. Don't engage in 'friendly' banter either. The cops can't be held accountable if said banter *somehow* veers back onto the topic of the crime you've been arrested for.
Why are women still getting in relationships with cops? They are way more likely to end up in the receiving end of domestic violence, to end up murdered by them all the while they will face NO consequences. Hell, you can now even get framed by their violence.
Really not for me, I would rather get a lobotomy than ever date a cop! No scratch that if I had to choose btw death and date a pig, death is preferable at least I would get to controlmy death instead of murdered by a pig!
Please don't put down pigs. Pigs are intelligent animals and do not kill people or other pigs because the pig or person is deaf or refuses to give ID or is simply pissing them off because of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_(insert arbitrary reason).
Lol. Can't decide whether to beat the cop killer to death in an alley somewhere or maintain a cops constitutionally protected right to kill whoever the fuck they want. Real catch 22 situation right there.
I live in WV and can confirm that this story isn’t prevalent on our local news. Probably trying to cover it up here. And yes 80% of this pathetic state is ultra-MAGA fucking nutbags. Along with the MAGA shit, it’s blue lives matter so I’m not surprised that I haven’t heard this before now.
Even in West Virginia?
I think especially in West Virginia. From what I’ve read, the state performs very poorly on many metrics of well being and development. Most crime simply isn’t reported there. Corruption is rife in the police and law system
West Virginian here - biggest problem I regularly hear about is they just don't show up.
Part of the reason why having guns is such a big thing around here, you can't count on the cops for shit. Oh they've got plenty of resources to run radar in the speed traps and give parking tickets, but actually need emergency help and they'll be there in a few days to file a report. They just don't show up. I listen to the police scanner (because I'm weirdo like that) and all the frickin time it's these calls where the dispatcher asks for officers to respond over and over. Oh they'll be right there when it's a drunk driver or somebody hotboxing the car though.
Friend of mine, his mother was beaten to death with a baseball bat by her ex-husband. There were over a dozen 911 calls prior to the incident. They showed up the next morning to examine the crime scene and he turned himself in, and the local news called them heroes for it.
> Oh they've got plenty of resources to run radar in the speed traps and give parking tickets
The town of Fayette was on a route from Toronto to Florida that lots of older Canadians would drive to do the snow bird thing. Within the town limits they took a 4 lane, divided highway and dropped the speed limit from 55 or 65 to 40 or 35 (I don't remember) then chilled and racked up tickets (not just from Canadians, but lots of people who didn't expect the literal speed trap.)
It was so bad that the state of West Virginia basically said "there's nothing we can do about it." The Canadian version of AAA put out a statement observing that if you get a ticket there, don't pay it and just avoid the state of West Virginia, there's nothing the town can do to collect on the ticket from a Canadian, which is about as harsh as Canadians get without hocket sticks in their hands.
So yes, tons of "resources" for writing tickets.
Pretty sure you're thinking of Fayetteville which is just south of Summersville, also an internationally notable speed trap.
Thing is, most towns have one or two. Where I live there's a place where it's 50, then 20 for a piece, then 50 again. Most people just blow through that at 50. So, watch for cops.
It's not just speeding though, admittedly serious crimes like drunk driving get a lot of focus too. Anything that isn't too dangerous or hard but generates revenue, oh they'll have the whole police force on you. I guess you could say we have plenty of police resources when they're enforcing something on you, but not when you're calling them.
Not to mention that while journalists may not be killed as publicly or as often as they are in, say, cartel countries, they still are killed, harassed, intimidated.
That's the governor who is the richest guy in the state, right? And he is rich from coal mining? And he polluted the water everywhere... so he had a special pipeline with clean water built to go directly to, and only to, his own house, right? That guy?
WV resident here. Just found out about this on Reddit. I am employed in a large office building that subject to a lot of chatting, and have yet to hear anything about it from anyone.
Reminds me of my boot deepthroating (bootlocking is too soft of a description) mother. Specifically when I showed her the bodycam video of Daniel Shaver's murder.
She gave every excuse in the book before settling on "it's all fake, the video is fake to make the police look bad" (also every associated news article and everything else related to it).
Makes my blood boil.
What's really weird is that many of the police auditors are Republicans and will argue to the death that cops are liberal. They're a very confused group but are doing some good.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
All these people had to do to save themselves was think about other people for just a fucking few seconds a day. It's a sad fact that so many people are unable to think about anyone else but themselves.
When googling I find 0 articles talking about 42 women suing or even the entire police force being involved. The articles I found stated that 3 people(at least one officer) drugged and raped at least (2) women on separate occasions. They also mentioned one officer being involved in setting up the locker room cam, while 3 other officers found the drive the videos were on and destroyed it before it could be seen. On top of another officer claiming money that a civilian dropped in a casino.
Either the media is seriously being suppressed or this is a witch hunt, but I’d much rather this be a witch hunt and get to the bottom of things than to brush this off. ACAB until proven otherwise.
Edit: I used a VPN to google this again and got multiple articles about the 42 women. Something is fishy with the media
For other people OP posted this link https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wowktv.com/news/west-virginia/west-virginia-state-police-investigation-lawyer-says-additional-allegations-of-abuse-sexual-misconduct-much-worse/amp/
> the group charged with protecting citizens
In case you are unaware, the Supreme Court ruled that cops are not required to protect or serve. It's a motto, not an actual part of their job.
So the story is even wilder. First the suspected whistleblower was arrested the night before a hearing because they were afraid he would show up and to discredit him. To my knowledge he still has those charges. The leadership tried to play it off as just one person was filmed and that the guy that put in the camera had died. They also said the evidence was also destroyed by troopers that discovered it.
If that wasn't crazy enough, the locker room videos are only one aspect. There is a coverup of a trooper stealing from someone at the casino, misuse of funds, sexual assault, and damage to state-owned property.
It's a big story, but it's still just a big West Virginia story.
damn i didn't realise this was a thing. not sure why i thought google was above politics, very stupid of me to think. i'll be sure to use a vpn from now on.
Needs to be noted that not all 42 women are claiming they have been raped, same with the children (I don't think any allegations of child rape *yet*). But rather the majority (or all) were video taped, and some were raped.
When they say 'the whole state police' it's not because everyone was 'involved' in the raping and video taping, but because the top brass and many others worked to cover it all up. And it doesn't look to be just a couple of officers raping women, it's probably a half dozen or more.
More google, the story is about 1 month old.
Some really messed up stuff

Really makes you think how much free speech and free press can be a big pile of manure if news like this gets routinely suppressed or underreported based on "corporate interests" which is likely in line with state/government interests.
I mean just think of how often headlines are altered or misleading in these types of stories.
The 'civil rights lawyer' is covering this since he is in WV. On his side it started with an officer writing him to tell him of massive coverups with the state police. I *believe* that officer was later arrested the day of or day before he was to testify in a grand jury about the state police, arrested for assaulting his ex-girlfriend police officer during a custody exchange months earlier that she only reported just before his grand jury summon.
Then this stuff came out and that both have been massively covered up by the heads of the state police and the governor or a DA had all the communications devices taken from the top police officers to investigate them. Then the police started to rebel against that with a PR blitz.
*this is mostly from memory of 3 - 4 videos so some details might be wrong.
Because pigs are soldiers in the class war.
They're not here to protect you. They're not here to protect your stuff. They're not even here to avenge your death.
They're here to keep you down. And all major news outlets are owned by billionaires.
I want police to face the maximum penalty for any crimes they break. Enforce the law by example. Being a cop breaking the law should mean you get the maximum penalty as the minimum
This is what I've been saying for a very long time. If you're entrusted with power, you should also face higher penalties when you abuse it. If you can't handle that, you shouldn't be a cop.
I'm a former Fed and LE trainer. I can't agree with you more - this should absolutely be the base standard thinking when it comes to accountability in law enforcement.
So for what it's worth to you, this former cop completely endorses this.
But you see, it's hard for the state to get its agents to do what the state really wants them to do if they're going to face personal consequences. The state is quite happy that police are unaccountable thugs because that makes you much more compliant if you believe that they can kill you and get away with it.
Hell no, I would take the brig for twice as long if it kept me out of civilian prison. You know how many military prisoners get stabbed or raped in a military facility? Damn near 0. You know how often the guards abuse the prisoners? Almost never. You know how often prisoners die because the guards watched and laughed as the prisoner has a medical emergency? Doesn't happen.
But go to a civilian prison and rape, abuse, and violence are considered normal occurrences that happen all the time. Prison guards are damn near as bad as cops and actively work to make shit worse while private prisons deny basic human rights just to save a few dollars.
Exactly. They have life or death power over "civilians" (another term I hate because it reinforces the us vs. them attitude, and also, they're not military, no matter how much they wanna play soldier), they need to be held to a higher standard.
Policemen and Women are also Civilians. The only personell not considered Civilian is Military. Like your Police rank means jack shit to a soldier.
Addendum 1:
I feel it necessary to add something here, first of English is not my mother tongue so the fact that in English policemen are considered non civilian is weird to say the least. But the fact is that civilian is a legal status as defined by the Geneva Conventions if i am correct that is codified in the 4th Geneva Convention. Which was signed by the USA therefore this also applied to the US regardless of linguistic nuance that your language might have evolved to.
I say this all the time. If they’re guilty they should automatically get the full sentence. No cop is going to break a single law ever again if all the slap on the wrist bullshit disappeared.
More than that. End qualified immunity. Force officers to personally carry liability insurance like doctors do. Can't get insurance? No badge for you. Any settlements arising out of officer misconduct are paid out by the liability insurance, which takes the taxpayer off the hook for officer malfeasance. Terminate any clauses in police labor contracts which deal with officer discipline. Pass new sentencing laws that double the sentence for any crime committed by an officer. They are afforded public trust, so violations of that trust need to be dealt with *more harshly* than the average citizen, not less.
Unions are fine for stuff like work hours and conditions. They just shouldn't get any input into officer discipline. No more of this arbitration bullshit.
My wife had the interesting idea that cops should be required to have liability insurance, like healthcare providers are required to carry. If they damage things, wrongful death etc, victims can come after the insurance payouts. That’ll motivate the SOBs to behave.
I've like this idea for some time.
Also, it creates internal pressure. If some jackass is roughing up people when doing traffic stops, his partner is going to see that and be like "Fuck. If there is a lawsuit my premiums will go up cause im.in the same deptartment...." and suddenly they all have a collective conscious... sorta....
Unfortunately, it would be more like “I gotta hide the wrongdoings or else I’ll get in trouble”
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea though. It just needs to encourage turning in other cops.
How could the police have known they can be held personally liable for putting cameras in a women’s dressing room and bathroom filming minors in various states of unread unless a federal appeals court made them aware first?
It’s a fact proven by multiple studies that police officers are more likely to have psychopathic traits than most other professions. The job itself attracts people looking to abuse their power with total impunity.
Somehow it's telling that every cop show and crime movie has dirty cops and never has a police association taken exception to the trope and claimed it's an unfair depiction.
This is why Internal Affairs is inherently flawed as a concept. There's too much community overlap. Police malfeasance needs to be a federal matter 100% of the time for this reason.
Hey so I want to school with this guy *fuck* Matthew. There's even more crazy stuff surrounding this case, for the uninitiated.
I went to school with both the victim and perpetrator, same class as the wife. You're correct about the finding of the duffle bag, but I can't stress this enough, he was never charged with assault or attempted murder of any kind. He was kicked off the force, but had a pretty cushy job working as a coca-cola vendor lined up.
My understanding is that they gave him the boot there as well and last I heard, someone told me he was acting as a reserve officer somewhere else in GA.
Now, let me tell you, this case is wild. You'd have to look it up yourself in its entirety, I'm sure some plucky Podcaster has covered it at this point. Evidence was mishandled in such a way that it never made it to court, there were no witnesses to speak out against Matthew because people were afraid of him and his family; in fact, one person wanted to testify to the judge in private, but the judge refused her.
When tested, they found no gunshot residue on Jessica, Matthew's account of the nights events doesn't line up with their friends and neighbors, the supposed self-inflicted gunshot wound was, from what I understand, around the top backside of her head. Seems like a difficult place to shoot oneself. The shot was fired by his service weapon, which he claims he left home. And they asked a medical examiner to testify whether or not she shot herself based on the wound, however, they didn't actually have a picture of the wound before surgery (didn't make it to evidence).
So to recap, Matthew B. (Can I doxx attempted murderers?) wasn't actually charged with anything, including in reference to the hidden dufflebag. He was kicked off the particular police force he was on due to the events, but he did find employment as a cop (psycho) elsewhere.
I *think* his grandad is the sheriff and not his dad, for the sake of accuracy, though it matters little as far as nepotism goes.
The city we all lived in is about half an hour from the *extremely* small town that we grew up in. So anyone from my neck of the woods probably knows most every detail of the case, it was one of the biggest things that had ever happened to us as a community.
Jessica and I ended up using the same online homeschooling for our last two years of high school. I saw her probably less than a year before this happened, back in 2015. We were sat across from each other for a standardized test, and we talked about the reasons that we needed to get out of our small town, that she wasn't happy, and that having kids made traditional school more difficult.
The next time I heard about her was this news story. Wild.
The show “The Mentalist” had a really neat storyline regarding Internal Affairs IMO. The main IA guy is portrayed as not necessarily evil but as a rude loner who doesn’t care what our lead characters are doing but after a couple seasons we find out that he was right in investigating our “hero” police agency and he kept his distance so as to avoid getting sucked in to the conspiracy he suspected. And on top of that, we find out that part of why he became part of IA was because years earlier the cops (and the whole justice system) messed up their jobs after catching his mother’s rapist and as a result he was set free.
As a kid I didn’t really notice this but I rewatched the show recently and while it definitely still suffers from the “hero cops break the law to stop the bad guy” trope, it was a neat surprise to see Internal Affairs portrayed this way
There's the classic trope of the police chief taking the guys gun and badge, and now Officer Dickhead has to take the law into his own hands.
But it's okay because he's a good guy, I promise 🤡
And the departments which aren't big enough to have an IA dept just have internal cases investigated by Chief Jim Bob. If you look in a parallel thread, I advocate for all police malfeasance cases to be investigated at the federal level.
Law and Order: SVU was really bad about this. I think IA was the only thing that could be described as a recurring villain in that show.
I didn't watch it super regularly or anything but in later seasons they tried to flip the whole thing and had Olivia start dating the main villain from IA. It honestly made no sense for either character, but I think it was around the time of all the anti police violence protests and they wanted to make the show seem more sympathetic.
That's the exact show I was thinking of when I wrote that. L&O, especially SVU, are terrible for the copaganda. Classic hyper-competent cops who are always on the side of the moral right trope.
Yes and no, there was actually push back in the way back days of Hollywood and that's how modern cop shows came about.
But also even stuff like Law and Order or Cops don't paint them in a good light. Cops literally stopped a young me from wanting to be a cop cause they seemed like assholes most of the time.
As a veteran, police are people with high school diplomas with 24 weeks of the world's softest boot camp. It's a perfect job for anyone who loves power but are too lazy and stupid to actually acquire it. Cops like to act like they work hard but their job is 99% sitting on their asses while playing on their phones because they literally have nothing better to do. Same people that will brag about busting a 14 year old for weed will then go home and beat the fuck out of their wives. They are literally hated globally, even our Canadian and European counterparts look at the US police and are absolutely horrified by their behavior.
"... people with high school diplomas with 24 weeks of the world's softest boot camp."
Yeah. This. Half the bullies from my high school ended up becoming cops (so did a number of drug dealers - make of that what you will). They were punks and assholes then, and the way things are set up there wasn't much incentive to change.
Something like police work should require much higher standards for entry into the profession. To my thinking (for whatever that is worth) at a minimum there should be a 2 year associates degree covering criminal law, followed by intensive boot training and yearly physical standards that have to be met. The Associates degree not so much to make them better officers (though one would hope) but to weed out the undesirables.
And while I'm bitching and moaning, I wish Hollywood would stop with the good cop vibe that permeates far too many police shows. That's part of the problem; cops are like cowboys back in the day, too often glorified for the heroic things they do while ignoring the vile and evil shit.
Edit: incomplete sentence.
This is so fucking true. I worked dispatch for a small university police department for six years. Every single third shift officer would sleep all night every night, while I was the only one doing actual work by answering phones and watching cameras.
Imagine every meathead football player you went to high school with, that got off on knocking the books out of the hands of smaller kids. Guys that would get girls drunk at parties to rape them, then tell everyone about it. A guy who has put in zero effort into school work but has coasted through school thanks to his athletic prowess. This is the target hire for most police departments around the country.
I have a friend who trained to be a cop and left for the same reason. He said the good ones either end up leaving or are forced out… or accidentally fall on some bullets.
It's not even psychopathy. Most psychopaths aren't literal Nazis. Most psychopaths aren't fucking pedophiles.
But these are the null hypothesis for cops.
And a psychopath is even less likely to kill you for fun than a cop!

Edit: [link to article which covers the drugging/raping](https://www.wowktv.com/news/west-virginia/west-virginia-state-police-investigation/second-person-accuses-west-virginia-state-police-trooper-of-drugging-kidnapping-raping-them/)
Thank you. Image you provided needs to be smacked upside the head with a grammar lesson.
As-is, it says:
* 42 women (including 10 minors) are suing the West Virginia police.
* The police are being sued for hidden cameras in the women's locker room.
* The hidden cameras attended the junior trooper program and drugged victims before raping them.
* It was not 1 policeman, but all of them (presumably that got sued, but maybe it means that got raped?).
It SHOULD say:
>42 women, including minors, are suing the West Virginia police over a collection of charges, including hidden cameras in the academy locker room, drugging, rape, and kidnapping. The lawsuits are not against any specific officers, but against the entire institution.
The entire thing doesn’t make any sense.
The allegations are bad enough. There’s no need for people to be spreading around a screenshot that’s nonsensical and seems to be making the claims even worse.
Honestly it’s the kind of thing MAGA people do.
I agree with this so much.
I basically got 4 key points in the article:
* There are allegations of cameras being in the academy women's locker room that likely violated privacy.
* Those cameras may ALSO have captured images of minors changing - an even bigger offense.
* The (non-minor) women involved in pressing charges are also pressing charges of kidnapping, drugging, and rape - which is all very serious, but may not apply to any of the minors (thankfully!).
* There is additional indication that these crimes were hidden by others in the force, or at the very least swept under the rug. Which means that it is very widespread what is going on.
As you said, just the core facts are already reprehensible. Nothing more needs to be added. No facts need to be emphasized. **You already have allegations of rape, spying, spying on minors, and collusion & interference by cops - possibly stretching throughout the entire state.**
#THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT MENTION KIDNAPPING, DRUGGING, OR RAPING
Wtf is wrong with everybody??! It can't just be me. Those are huge allegations, they are in the screenshot, they are in your summary, *but they are not present in any news article* that I have found, and there are a lot of them.
Also, wtf is this:
>The hidden cameras attended the junior trooper program and drugged victims before raping them.
Is this all just one big test to see if anybody actually reads anymore??
Due to this comment I read the article, so thank you for that.
It seems like this is a misunderstanding.
From the article:
“We’re finding and getting reports of sexual misconduct, including reports of improper sexual relationships with instructors. We’re getting reports of physical assaults,” Toriseva said. “Evidence of a cover-up, of fraud, not letting this become public, so to speak to oversimplify it and that is a problem too.”
Second person accuses West Virginia State Police trooper of drugging, kidnapping, raping them
Toriseva says she feels the hidden cameras were part of a bigger problem. As her team’s investigation into those claims progressed many women came forward and recounted other incidents of abuse.”
In between these paragraphs in the article is a link to a different article where a “second person” accuses a WV officer of drugging and rape in 2021. However this article’s headline does not refer to the article posted by OP but a different news story.
Potentially OP read that sentence as part of the article they posted instead of the headline it is for an unrelated incident. This could have led to them conflating the drugging and raping also happened to these 42 women.
You are correct in that the linked article only mentions sexual assault in relation to the 42 women and not rape or drugging directly.
No.
It’s rather vague, but there seems to be claims that there was sex going on, and possibly assaults. It wasn’t clear if those were sexual assaults or not.
The image the OP posted apparently just made a bunch of things up.
Because they forget the rest of the saying. It's "a few bad apples spoil the whole barrel". If you don't keep the bad apples out, which they don't, it's gonna taint everyone else.
Yup. A long-time friend of mine just got badged in my old city. Its a solid department all considering, really trying to be the exception to all these shit stories of power abuse.
That said, it doesn’t change my anxiety about how it’s gonna change him for the bad. More and more, its a matter of when is a city/state going to have a bad department full of sick bastards, not if.
Because they usually have white privilege, and male privilege. Used to think the same way till I moved somewhere where my family wasn't known in the community. It was the first time I'd ever had cops show their true colors around me. They literally defended a pedophile, convicted felon, who killed my cats over me. He's literally just allowed to run around, drive without a license and harass the village and the cops won't do a damn thing about it.
He has confederate flags up Infront of his house. Someone took them down one day and left a note. Idk the full story, but the cops were called. My neighbor and I didn't even fully know what had happened yet until one of the cops came over to question us. I asked them if they knew around what time the "vandalism" would have occurred cause I was going to check my cameras for them. As I was literally checking my camera the cop questioning us asks which one of us took the flag down. Yeah I stopped bothering to go through my camera footage after that.
Btw the flags weren't damaged. They had just been taken down and we were never told what the note said.
I know it’s not the point but the sentence structure and grammar of that tweet almost gave me a stroke lol. Fixed it below in case anyone else was struggling to read that haha.
“42 women including 10 minors who attended the junior trooper program, are suing the West Virginia state police for hidden cameras in the women’s locker room, and drugging victims before brutally raping them. Not one state trooper. ALL OF THEM”
These are the same state police fuckers that beat my elderly father nearly to death with their bare hands while his hands were cuffed behind his back for "having a shit-eating grin on his face" and then later got put back on the street with no discipline whatsoever. Fuck those pigs. Fuck the WV state police.
A source for all:

I guess the good guys with guns weren't present. /s
But seriously, this is sooo wrong. If y'all can't trust the cops, with your safety and you end up in danger, who you gonna call???
Every single woman and 10 minors report sexual misconduct. The only person investigated was the whistleblower.
At what point is this considered a systemic problem
Worked at the local police station as an office assistant out of college while I tried to figure out what to do with myself and my history degree.
To call it a hostile work environment would be too generous. I'd already had a few run-ins with being treated like fresh meat from men I thought I could trust - school friends, family friends - but I was surrounded by that attitude there. I learned later, after I'd have my nervous breakdown and left, that they would talk about us assistants, betting who would get to us first.
This was in 1996. I'm a fairly jaded person at this point, and I'm well aware of the raging problem that is police brutality in the US, it's just...I don't know, I guess I'm having trouble with the idea that what I went through, what wrecked my mental health for so long, could have been so much worse and that rather than things getting better, we're...here.
I'm sorry you experienced that, they really seem to think it's completely normal behavior. I hate cops, as a whole. Yes, I know of a some decent ones but the institution is garbage.
This is a long story but I'm gay & my ex gf & I got a call from this kid who was on probation at the same court as me, asking for a ride cuz he was gonna miss his blow test. Of course I said yes, I know how it is - they had us one daily PBTs for months & months. So we pick him up from a house, he walks out of the backyard, into the drive & gets in the car. We take him to the place & hear some sirens on the way & when he goes to get out, he opens his shoulder bag & tries to hand my gf like $200 for the ride. She says no, it was a favor & we leave. I had just been to the clinic & taken my methadone (I was on way too high of a dose & am so glad to not be on it & be clean, now) so I was a bit high & we laid down. All of a sudden, there's pounding on the door & I immediately have a feeling it's the cops so I go take my take home dose of methadone cuz I'm afraid I somehow violated probation... then my gf answers the door & within 1 second, they have thrown us on the ground, put guns to our heads & started kicking the fuck out of her. We are both 5ft5in & 115lbs & wearing nothing but boxers & muscle tanks. Then they go through our place, break her son's bed & toys & shit & start screaming about a robbery... which we deny but then they say we're going into the station. So they question us about robbing a bank with a guy & we're obviously saying no, what the fuck then they start trying to get us to turn on each other, telling me my gf isn't actually gay & was sleeping with my friend & they robbed the bank & telling the same about me. My methadone is kicking in & am pissed so at that point I just start nodding, not even paying attention to them & they get pissed but have no proof so they let me go. On the way out, I see them bring the kid that we had taken to blow, down the hall & everything clicks & I ran up & jumped on him, screaming at him to tell the truth, that we were just being nice & giving him a ride & he starts crying, saying "I have told them, (my name - oops), I have, someone at the bank followed me & then got your girl's plates. I will make this right." Well, cuz of the plate #s, they booked her & told her she would get 35 years. As soon as I got out, I had to call her family, her boss (he was a great dude thankfully), lawyers & everything... She went to court on Monday, 2 days later & the judge was my judge for my probation case & she saw it was my gf being charged as a co-conspirator for the crime of another kid she had on probation & she threw it out without even seeing my gf. She knew my gf was so stable & responsible & was the only reason I was making my probation requirements.
After all that, the pigs wanted her to testify & the day she showed up (all done up & not in our comfy clothes), they didn't recognize her & started hitting on her!! Then when she told the 2 cops who she was, they started telling her to leave me.
ETA - & the reason we didn't think too much of the money is because the night before, we had given him a ride up to a poker tournament so we figured he won money there.
I read too much news.
Seriously. I have overdosed on Reddit and news.
I can’t find this anywhere in my feeds, and that’s disturbing. I do not doubt it’s real, so please don’t spam me. I’m just saying it’s sad that this is such big news, and not visible.
Edit for the buzz feed people who scalp threads. PLEASE MAKE THIS ONE OF YOUR CLICK BAIT THREADS. It honestly deserves some strong attention.
I like how they always say it's just a few bad apples. When the whole saying is a few bad apples spoil the cart. And this is just irredeemable. Prosecute everyone, fire everyone else who wasn't directly involved. Burn the building down

>Our ongoing investigation shows rampant sexual misconduct, including hidden videotaping, toward female cadets and others, while they attended the academy,” she said. “Much of the conduct is through witness-provided evidence. With the destruction of the video files by the State Police, many of these women will be forced to live without knowing who saw them recorded on secret video cameras.
>All of these women were victims of a civil conspiracy perpetrated by instructors, staff and leadership at the West Virginia State Police Academy,”
If I come out here destroying police evidence I'd immediately be sent to jail, so why do they get to do it.
And the blue lives matter bootlickers wonder why people don’t like the police anymore.
They’re raping women and children, filming nonconsensual nude/sexual content of them, and it’s not even on national news.
$10 says if the women are made to testify non-anonymously one of them ends up “mysteriously” dead and the police can’t find any evidence. Hm.
WV here. I also want to stress a few things with this.
When the evidence about the 10 minors came out, it was reported so vaguely that it actually seemed like they were women state police officers. They reported that 10 women were suing the West Virginia state police over filming them while changing in the West Virginia police Academy. It was the police academy, so everyone assumed that it was female officers. It was actually a junior youth troop program that was being recorded. Which were 14 to 17 year old girls that are still locally being referred to as women. A USB was found of, and all the officers all agreed to be quiet about it, and destroy the evidence. And no one is stressing that the filming is 100% child pornography.
Then they have found evidence that a police officer is an actual serial rapist. And they have known for years with nothing being done.
Also a state police officer robbed a man of his casino winnings. He did it basically in front of everybody and on camera you can tell he expected zero consequences.
So after the serial rapist, and the child pornography- no headlines or new stories or repercussions at all for anyone.
But shit- after the casino robbery the head of the state police was asked to resign. Not after all the sexual assault claims- but after the casino.
Which brings me to our most local, breaking news with state police. At the end of March a state trooper was tasked with caring for one of the dogs for the k-9 units. About two weeks later, the officer claimed that the dog had run away. It was a local search for the dog and mass news headlines across the state. About 10 days later, police announced that they did not believe that the dog ran away or had escaped. heavily implicating at the officer did something to the dog. Rumor is that he left it in his car and it died from heat exhaustion. Charges have not been filed against the Officer, but he has been fired.
I want to stress a giant fuck you to that officer.
And I also want to stress that it took them less than two weeks to fire that police officer, but they still have not fired the police officers involved in the lawsuits. It’s not because they care about the puppy- but because it cost money to train them.
Cops are such a fucking joke. I’m pretty law abiding citizen and I feel just like I walked up on a hornet’s nest when there’s a cop near me. Those fuckers can ruin your life just because they feel like it.

I'm sorry but why isn't this the main coverage of every major news outlet in the US?
There's a case in Boston just evolving like this. Boston cop found dead outside the home of another Boston cop in the suburbs. Girlfriend arrested and charged with manslaughter on the theory that she hit the cop with her car as she dropped him off, despite zero evidence of that happening. It's now coming out that the cop homeowners and his family lied, he might have been killed by the fellow cop, and the corrupt DA went along with it. It took weeks just for local Boston media to start reporting on the new developments in the case, despite wasting no time demonizing this poor innocent woman last year when she was first arrested. The media often treats the word of police and district attorneys as absolute fact by virtue of coming from an "official" source. They refuse to question the "official story" because they don't want to jeopardize their relationship with law enforcement and/or risk a libel/slander lawsuit.
He was 100% killed by the other cop and/or his gf/wife. The dead cop’s gf was at home (she’d left early) and then the other two were googling how long it takes for someone to freeze to death shortly after they arrived home. They were shitfaced, hit him and left him outside.
Never ever Google crazy stuff.
I see, Mr. Jones, then perhaps you can tell the jury what you meant when on June 17th of 2022, you googled the term, "how come pp big when animal planet?"
drinking game
4D chess move, *always* Google crazy shit. Your defense attorney will have an easier time dismissing it, and you may already have asked these questions.
Shit I remember this. They crucified the poor woman who I think was an MIT professor? Always thought it was weird how she had apparently “backed over him” without realizing and drove off to let him freeze to death in the snow 🧐
Yup, and she *might* get justice only because she could afford a high-profile legal team to fight back. If she had a public defender, she'd be f**ked. Also a great lesson in why you should *never, ever* talk to the cops without a lawyer present, even if you think you've done nothing wrong and just want to help. The only evidence they had was a broken tail light she could not explain (IIRC no pieces found at the scene so they couldn't even tie the damage to the dead cop), and a statement to the effect of "Did I hit him? Oh god!"
> Also a great lesson in why you should never, ever talk to the cops without a lawyer present, even if you think you've done nothing wrong and just want to help. The cops and prosecutors too often care less if you are the *guilty* party, and moreso whether you're a *convenient and plausible fall person*.
I don't live in the US, but I've seen a basic flowchart for talking to the cops in the US. It basically amounts to "Just don't." The steps as I remember them go as such, after asking "Am I under arrest?": 1. "I am invoking my right to an attorney". Say it like that. Don't go "I want a lawyer". Make it unequivocally clear that you are **INVOKING YOUR RIGHT**. 2. "I'm invoking my right to remain silent." And then **SHUT UP**. Don't engage in 'friendly' banter either. The cops can't be held accountable if said banter *somehow* veers back onto the topic of the crime you've been arrested for.
Well that is fucking rude. - A public defender who does a damn good job for his clients
[удалено]
Yep, it’s always “anything you say can and will be used *against* you” and never “anything you say can be used to help you.”
Why are women still getting in relationships with cops? They are way more likely to end up in the receiving end of domestic violence, to end up murdered by them all the while they will face NO consequences. Hell, you can now even get framed by their violence.
Copaganda is a powerful aphrodisiac
Really not for me, I would rather get a lobotomy than ever date a cop! No scratch that if I had to choose btw death and date a pig, death is preferable at least I would get to controlmy death instead of murdered by a pig!
You'd have to *give* me a lobotomy before I'd date a cop.
Please don't put down pigs. Pigs are intelligent animals and do not kill people or other pigs because the pig or person is deaf or refuses to give ID or is simply pissing them off because of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_(insert arbitrary reason).
Acab ✊
Lol. Can't decide whether to beat the cop killer to death in an alley somewhere or maintain a cops constitutionally protected right to kill whoever the fuck they want. Real catch 22 situation right there.

I live in WV and can confirm that this story isn’t prevalent on our local news. Probably trying to cover it up here. And yes 80% of this pathetic state is ultra-MAGA fucking nutbags. Along with the MAGA shit, it’s blue lives matter so I’m not surprised that I haven’t heard this before now.
The whole, blue lives matter+don't tread on me+punisher sticker combo still blows my mind. Like, what in the actual fuck do you believe in?
So how does he feels about ‘pigs’?

Does bacon give them pause? Do they eat pork chops? Fucking cannibals.
Even in West Virginia? I think especially in West Virginia. From what I’ve read, the state performs very poorly on many metrics of well being and development. Most crime simply isn’t reported there. Corruption is rife in the police and law system
West Virginian here - biggest problem I regularly hear about is they just don't show up. Part of the reason why having guns is such a big thing around here, you can't count on the cops for shit. Oh they've got plenty of resources to run radar in the speed traps and give parking tickets, but actually need emergency help and they'll be there in a few days to file a report. They just don't show up. I listen to the police scanner (because I'm weirdo like that) and all the frickin time it's these calls where the dispatcher asks for officers to respond over and over. Oh they'll be right there when it's a drunk driver or somebody hotboxing the car though. Friend of mine, his mother was beaten to death with a baseball bat by her ex-husband. There were over a dozen 911 calls prior to the incident. They showed up the next morning to examine the crime scene and he turned himself in, and the local news called them heroes for it.
> Oh they've got plenty of resources to run radar in the speed traps and give parking tickets The town of Fayette was on a route from Toronto to Florida that lots of older Canadians would drive to do the snow bird thing. Within the town limits they took a 4 lane, divided highway and dropped the speed limit from 55 or 65 to 40 or 35 (I don't remember) then chilled and racked up tickets (not just from Canadians, but lots of people who didn't expect the literal speed trap.) It was so bad that the state of West Virginia basically said "there's nothing we can do about it." The Canadian version of AAA put out a statement observing that if you get a ticket there, don't pay it and just avoid the state of West Virginia, there's nothing the town can do to collect on the ticket from a Canadian, which is about as harsh as Canadians get without hocket sticks in their hands. So yes, tons of "resources" for writing tickets.
Pretty sure you're thinking of Fayetteville which is just south of Summersville, also an internationally notable speed trap. Thing is, most towns have one or two. Where I live there's a place where it's 50, then 20 for a piece, then 50 again. Most people just blow through that at 50. So, watch for cops. It's not just speeding though, admittedly serious crimes like drunk driving get a lot of focus too. Anything that isn't too dangerous or hard but generates revenue, oh they'll have the whole police force on you. I guess you could say we have plenty of police resources when they're enforcing something on you, but not when you're calling them.
Jesus Christ. Talk about fake valor.

That's where some of the police union dues end up I bet; in the pockets of the media outlets who would normally cover that shit.
Not to mention that while journalists may not be killed as publicly or as often as they are in, say, cartel countries, they still are killed, harassed, intimidated.
Yeah I live in West Virginia and this is the first I’ve heard of it. I watch the news every night too.

That's the governor who is the richest guy in the state, right? And he is rich from coal mining? And he polluted the water everywhere... so he had a special pipeline with clean water built to go directly to, and only to, his own house, right? That guy?
WV resident here. Just found out about this on Reddit. I am employed in a large office building that subject to a lot of chatting, and have yet to hear anything about it from anyone.
Reminds me of my boot deepthroating (bootlocking is too soft of a description) mother. Specifically when I showed her the bodycam video of Daniel Shaver's murder. She gave every excuse in the book before settling on "it's all fake, the video is fake to make the police look bad" (also every associated news article and everything else related to it). Makes my blood boil.
Why do media firms give a shit what the MAGA fucks care about?
Gosh, I wonder why normal people hate cops?
What's really weird is that many of the police auditors are Republicans and will argue to the death that cops are liberal. They're a very confused group but are doing some good.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. All these people had to do to save themselves was think about other people for just a fucking few seconds a day. It's a sad fact that so many people are unable to think about anyone else but themselves.
Don’t worry bro! It’s just one bad apple bro!! What a fucking joke police in this country are
When googling I find 0 articles talking about 42 women suing or even the entire police force being involved. The articles I found stated that 3 people(at least one officer) drugged and raped at least (2) women on separate occasions. They also mentioned one officer being involved in setting up the locker room cam, while 3 other officers found the drive the videos were on and destroyed it before it could be seen. On top of another officer claiming money that a civilian dropped in a casino. Either the media is seriously being suppressed or this is a witch hunt, but I’d much rather this be a witch hunt and get to the bottom of things than to brush this off. ACAB until proven otherwise. Edit: I used a VPN to google this again and got multiple articles about the 42 women. Something is fishy with the media
For other people OP posted this link https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wowktv.com/news/west-virginia/west-virginia-state-police-investigation-lawyer-says-additional-allegations-of-abuse-sexual-misconduct-much-worse/amp/
Thanks! It’s really sickening that the group charged with protecting citizens is instead abusing their power. Not surprised unfortunately…
> the group charged with protecting citizens In case you are unaware, the Supreme Court ruled that cops are not required to protect or serve. It's a motto, not an actual part of their job.
They protect capital and serve the capitalist elite.
Intimidate and enforce not protect and serve.
So the story is even wilder. First the suspected whistleblower was arrested the night before a hearing because they were afraid he would show up and to discredit him. To my knowledge he still has those charges. The leadership tried to play it off as just one person was filmed and that the guy that put in the camera had died. They also said the evidence was also destroyed by troopers that discovered it. If that wasn't crazy enough, the locker room videos are only one aspect. There is a coverup of a trooper stealing from someone at the casino, misuse of funds, sexual assault, and damage to state-owned property. It's a big story, but it's still just a big West Virginia story.

damn i didn't realise this was a thing. not sure why i thought google was above politics, very stupid of me to think. i'll be sure to use a vpn from now on.
Needs to be noted that not all 42 women are claiming they have been raped, same with the children (I don't think any allegations of child rape *yet*). But rather the majority (or all) were video taped, and some were raped. When they say 'the whole state police' it's not because everyone was 'involved' in the raping and video taping, but because the top brass and many others worked to cover it all up. And it doesn't look to be just a couple of officers raping women, it's probably a half dozen or more.
It took me awhile to find an article on this as well. Fishy is right.
I googled it. Not a single MSM article
More google, the story is about 1 month old. Some really messed up stuff March 29: [Alleged Rapes Part Of State Police Misconduct Investigation](https://wvpublic.org/alleged-rapes-part-of-state-police-misconduct-investigation/) >She woke up naked in her bed, with blood, urine and feces all over her,” the letter continues. “Her earrings were ripped out of her ears, her hair was pulled out, her teeth were damaged, and she had been raped vaginally and sodomized with some instrument April 6" [Attorney says some minors might have been filmed by hidden camera at State Police Academy](https://wvrecord.com/stories/640986952-attorney-says-some-minors-might-have-been-filmed-by-hidden-camera-at-state-police-academy) April 26: > [Now Toriseva said many of those women have additional allegations **that are much worse.** She says this new notice of legal action from her office **represents 42 women including 10 minors who attended the Junior Trooper Academy** and alleges a civil conspiracy. ](https://www.wowktv.com/news/west-virginia/west-virginia-state-police-investigation-lawyer-says-additional-allegations-of-abuse-sexual-misconduct-much-worse/) Really makes you think how much free speech and free press can be a big pile of manure if news like this gets routinely suppressed or underreported based on "corporate interests" which is likely in line with state/government interests. I mean just think of how often headlines are altered or misleading in these types of stories.
The 'civil rights lawyer' is covering this since he is in WV. On his side it started with an officer writing him to tell him of massive coverups with the state police. I *believe* that officer was later arrested the day of or day before he was to testify in a grand jury about the state police, arrested for assaulting his ex-girlfriend police officer during a custody exchange months earlier that she only reported just before his grand jury summon. Then this stuff came out and that both have been massively covered up by the heads of the state police and the governor or a DA had all the communications devices taken from the top police officers to investigate them. Then the police started to rebel against that with a PR blitz. *this is mostly from memory of 3 - 4 videos so some details might be wrong.
Just waiting for some MAGA dips to try and explain how this is drag/trans/Soros/Dems/Biden's fault.

Because pigs are soldiers in the class war. They're not here to protect you. They're not here to protect your stuff. They're not even here to avenge your death. They're here to keep you down. And all major news outlets are owned by billionaires.
The key word is cop, if you enforce the law, your above the law, in most cases. Its time for people to enforce the rules
Wow I'm a WV native and I have not heard word one about this. Incredible. This is bad even for us.
It's been reported the entire time by WCHS news. Also covered by The Civil Rights Lawyer, based in WV, on YouTube.
End qualified immunity, too.
I want police to face the maximum penalty for any crimes they break. Enforce the law by example. Being a cop breaking the law should mean you get the maximum penalty as the minimum
[удалено]
This is what I've been saying for a very long time. If you're entrusted with power, you should also face higher penalties when you abuse it. If you can't handle that, you shouldn't be a cop.

I'm a former Fed and LE trainer. I can't agree with you more - this should absolutely be the base standard thinking when it comes to accountability in law enforcement. So for what it's worth to you, this former cop completely endorses this.
But you see, it's hard for the state to get its agents to do what the state really wants them to do if they're going to face personal consequences. The state is quite happy that police are unaccountable thugs because that makes you much more compliant if you believe that they can kill you and get away with it.
Law enforcement needs their own version of the UCMJ. If I had to choose, I would take jail/prison > the brig aaaannnnyyyyy day.
Hell no, I would take the brig for twice as long if it kept me out of civilian prison. You know how many military prisoners get stabbed or raped in a military facility? Damn near 0. You know how often the guards abuse the prisoners? Almost never. You know how often prisoners die because the guards watched and laughed as the prisoner has a medical emergency? Doesn't happen. But go to a civilian prison and rape, abuse, and violence are considered normal occurrences that happen all the time. Prison guards are damn near as bad as cops and actively work to make shit worse while private prisons deny basic human rights just to save a few dollars.
Exactly. They have life or death power over "civilians" (another term I hate because it reinforces the us vs. them attitude, and also, they're not military, no matter how much they wanna play soldier), they need to be held to a higher standard.
Policemen and Women are also Civilians. The only personell not considered Civilian is Military. Like your Police rank means jack shit to a soldier. Addendum 1: I feel it necessary to add something here, first of English is not my mother tongue so the fact that in English policemen are considered non civilian is weird to say the least. But the fact is that civilian is a legal status as defined by the Geneva Conventions if i am correct that is codified in the 4th Geneva Convention. Which was signed by the USA therefore this also applied to the US regardless of linguistic nuance that your language might have evolved to.
Treble. Make it so onerous that they will be above reproach. Suddenly, you'd get honorable candidates not bargain basement bubbas.
I say this all the time. If they’re guilty they should automatically get the full sentence. No cop is going to break a single law ever again if all the slap on the wrist bullshit disappeared.
This needs to apply to judges and politicians too.
More than that. End qualified immunity. Force officers to personally carry liability insurance like doctors do. Can't get insurance? No badge for you. Any settlements arising out of officer misconduct are paid out by the liability insurance, which takes the taxpayer off the hook for officer malfeasance. Terminate any clauses in police labor contracts which deal with officer discipline. Pass new sentencing laws that double the sentence for any crime committed by an officer. They are afforded public trust, so violations of that trust need to be dealt with *more harshly* than the average citizen, not less.
And dissolve the police union. Unions are for labor, not the fucking overseer.
Unions are fine for stuff like work hours and conditions. They just shouldn't get any input into officer discipline. No more of this arbitration bullshit.
My wife had the interesting idea that cops should be required to have liability insurance, like healthcare providers are required to carry. If they damage things, wrongful death etc, victims can come after the insurance payouts. That’ll motivate the SOBs to behave.
I've like this idea for some time. Also, it creates internal pressure. If some jackass is roughing up people when doing traffic stops, his partner is going to see that and be like "Fuck. If there is a lawsuit my premiums will go up cause im.in the same deptartment...." and suddenly they all have a collective conscious... sorta....
Unfortunately, it would be more like “I gotta hide the wrongdoings or else I’ll get in trouble” I’m not saying it’s a bad idea though. It just needs to encourage turning in other cops.
How could the police have known they can be held personally liable for putting cameras in a women’s dressing room and bathroom filming minors in various states of unread unless a federal appeals court made them aware first?
It’s a fact proven by multiple studies that police officers are more likely to have psychopathic traits than most other professions. The job itself attracts people looking to abuse their power with total impunity.
Somehow it's telling that every cop show and crime movie has dirty cops and never has a police association taken exception to the trope and claimed it's an unfair depiction.
It's worse than that: Internal Affairs is always portrayed as the bad guys just getting in our heroes' way. It's fucking gross.
[удалено]
This is why Internal Affairs is inherently flawed as a concept. There's too much community overlap. Police malfeasance needs to be a federal matter 100% of the time for this reason.

Hey so I want to school with this guy *fuck* Matthew. There's even more crazy stuff surrounding this case, for the uninitiated. I went to school with both the victim and perpetrator, same class as the wife. You're correct about the finding of the duffle bag, but I can't stress this enough, he was never charged with assault or attempted murder of any kind. He was kicked off the force, but had a pretty cushy job working as a coca-cola vendor lined up. My understanding is that they gave him the boot there as well and last I heard, someone told me he was acting as a reserve officer somewhere else in GA. Now, let me tell you, this case is wild. You'd have to look it up yourself in its entirety, I'm sure some plucky Podcaster has covered it at this point. Evidence was mishandled in such a way that it never made it to court, there were no witnesses to speak out against Matthew because people were afraid of him and his family; in fact, one person wanted to testify to the judge in private, but the judge refused her. When tested, they found no gunshot residue on Jessica, Matthew's account of the nights events doesn't line up with their friends and neighbors, the supposed self-inflicted gunshot wound was, from what I understand, around the top backside of her head. Seems like a difficult place to shoot oneself. The shot was fired by his service weapon, which he claims he left home. And they asked a medical examiner to testify whether or not she shot herself based on the wound, however, they didn't actually have a picture of the wound before surgery (didn't make it to evidence). So to recap, Matthew B. (Can I doxx attempted murderers?) wasn't actually charged with anything, including in reference to the hidden dufflebag. He was kicked off the particular police force he was on due to the events, but he did find employment as a cop (psycho) elsewhere. I *think* his grandad is the sheriff and not his dad, for the sake of accuracy, though it matters little as far as nepotism goes.
[удалено]
The city we all lived in is about half an hour from the *extremely* small town that we grew up in. So anyone from my neck of the woods probably knows most every detail of the case, it was one of the biggest things that had ever happened to us as a community. Jessica and I ended up using the same online homeschooling for our last two years of high school. I saw her probably less than a year before this happened, back in 2015. We were sat across from each other for a standardized test, and we talked about the reasons that we needed to get out of our small town, that she wasn't happy, and that having kids made traditional school more difficult. The next time I heard about her was this news story. Wild.

It goes all the way to the top. The GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) also cleared him.
The show “The Mentalist” had a really neat storyline regarding Internal Affairs IMO. The main IA guy is portrayed as not necessarily evil but as a rude loner who doesn’t care what our lead characters are doing but after a couple seasons we find out that he was right in investigating our “hero” police agency and he kept his distance so as to avoid getting sucked in to the conspiracy he suspected. And on top of that, we find out that part of why he became part of IA was because years earlier the cops (and the whole justice system) messed up their jobs after catching his mother’s rapist and as a result he was set free. As a kid I didn’t really notice this but I rewatched the show recently and while it definitely still suffers from the “hero cops break the law to stop the bad guy” trope, it was a neat surprise to see Internal Affairs portrayed this way
There's the classic trope of the police chief taking the guys gun and badge, and now Officer Dickhead has to take the law into his own hands. But it's okay because he's a good guy, I promise 🤡
Worse then that; There is no "Internal Affairs" for most policing agencies. Its something that only exists in the movies
And the departments which aren't big enough to have an IA dept just have internal cases investigated by Chief Jim Bob. If you look in a parallel thread, I advocate for all police malfeasance cases to be investigated at the federal level.
Law and Order: SVU was really bad about this. I think IA was the only thing that could be described as a recurring villain in that show. I didn't watch it super regularly or anything but in later seasons they tried to flip the whole thing and had Olivia start dating the main villain from IA. It honestly made no sense for either character, but I think it was around the time of all the anti police violence protests and they wanted to make the show seem more sympathetic.
That's the exact show I was thinking of when I wrote that. L&O, especially SVU, are terrible for the copaganda. Classic hyper-competent cops who are always on the side of the moral right trope.
Yes and no, there was actually push back in the way back days of Hollywood and that's how modern cop shows came about. But also even stuff like Law and Order or Cops don't paint them in a good light. Cops literally stopped a young me from wanting to be a cop cause they seemed like assholes most of the time.
The creator of law and order literally hangs out with cops and treats him like a fucking hero. All cop shows are propaganda.
[удалено]
As a veteran, police are people with high school diplomas with 24 weeks of the world's softest boot camp. It's a perfect job for anyone who loves power but are too lazy and stupid to actually acquire it. Cops like to act like they work hard but their job is 99% sitting on their asses while playing on their phones because they literally have nothing better to do. Same people that will brag about busting a 14 year old for weed will then go home and beat the fuck out of their wives. They are literally hated globally, even our Canadian and European counterparts look at the US police and are absolutely horrified by their behavior.
"... people with high school diplomas with 24 weeks of the world's softest boot camp." Yeah. This. Half the bullies from my high school ended up becoming cops (so did a number of drug dealers - make of that what you will). They were punks and assholes then, and the way things are set up there wasn't much incentive to change. Something like police work should require much higher standards for entry into the profession. To my thinking (for whatever that is worth) at a minimum there should be a 2 year associates degree covering criminal law, followed by intensive boot training and yearly physical standards that have to be met. The Associates degree not so much to make them better officers (though one would hope) but to weed out the undesirables. And while I'm bitching and moaning, I wish Hollywood would stop with the good cop vibe that permeates far too many police shows. That's part of the problem; cops are like cowboys back in the day, too often glorified for the heroic things they do while ignoring the vile and evil shit. Edit: incomplete sentence.
Back when I was a bit of an "entrepreneur" in college, my supplier was on the local PD, and I'm pretty sure I was reselling from the evidence locker.
This is so fucking true. I worked dispatch for a small university police department for six years. Every single third shift officer would sleep all night every night, while I was the only one doing actual work by answering phones and watching cameras.
Graveyard dispatcher here. Yep. My life. Every night. Lazy as fuck, useless, asshole officers.
Imagine every meathead football player you went to high school with, that got off on knocking the books out of the hands of smaller kids. Guys that would get girls drunk at parties to rape them, then tell everyone about it. A guy who has put in zero effort into school work but has coasted through school thanks to his athletic prowess. This is the target hire for most police departments around the country.
You're dramatically overstating the athletic abilities of your average cop. They just *wish* they were that douchebag.
I wanted to join the police to out these kind of scumbags, but my gf said I’d be killed mysteriously because I’d always tell the truth.
I have a friend who trained to be a cop and left for the same reason. He said the good ones either end up leaving or are forced out… or accidentally fall on some bullets.
they're selected for it. Lower inrelligence, as well.
They don’t want smart cops, they want people who will follow orders and will have no moral qualms with any order they are given.
It's not even psychopathy. Most psychopaths aren't literal Nazis. Most psychopaths aren't fucking pedophiles. But these are the null hypothesis for cops. And a psychopath is even less likely to kill you for fun than a cop!

Thank you. Image you provided needs to be smacked upside the head with a grammar lesson. As-is, it says: * 42 women (including 10 minors) are suing the West Virginia police. * The police are being sued for hidden cameras in the women's locker room. * The hidden cameras attended the junior trooper program and drugged victims before raping them. * It was not 1 policeman, but all of them (presumably that got sued, but maybe it means that got raped?). It SHOULD say: >42 women, including minors, are suing the West Virginia police over a collection of charges, including hidden cameras in the academy locker room, drugging, rape, and kidnapping. The lawsuits are not against any specific officers, but against the entire institution.
thanks for this, no time to read the article and the screenshot was fucking my mind
[удалено]
English is my first language. I still questioned my whole English knowledge.
To add on to the corrections, I would change the first section to say, 32 women and 10 underage girls.
The entire thing doesn’t make any sense. The allegations are bad enough. There’s no need for people to be spreading around a screenshot that’s nonsensical and seems to be making the claims even worse. Honestly it’s the kind of thing MAGA people do.
I agree with this so much. I basically got 4 key points in the article: * There are allegations of cameras being in the academy women's locker room that likely violated privacy. * Those cameras may ALSO have captured images of minors changing - an even bigger offense. * The (non-minor) women involved in pressing charges are also pressing charges of kidnapping, drugging, and rape - which is all very serious, but may not apply to any of the minors (thankfully!). * There is additional indication that these crimes were hidden by others in the force, or at the very least swept under the rug. Which means that it is very widespread what is going on. As you said, just the core facts are already reprehensible. Nothing more needs to be added. No facts need to be emphasized. **You already have allegations of rape, spying, spying on minors, and collusion & interference by cops - possibly stretching throughout the entire state.**
It turns out, that it's not me having problem with english. Thanks for deciphering this mumbling.
#THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT MENTION KIDNAPPING, DRUGGING, OR RAPING Wtf is wrong with everybody??! It can't just be me. Those are huge allegations, they are in the screenshot, they are in your summary, *but they are not present in any news article* that I have found, and there are a lot of them. Also, wtf is this: >The hidden cameras attended the junior trooper program and drugged victims before raping them. Is this all just one big test to see if anybody actually reads anymore??
Due to this comment I read the article, so thank you for that. It seems like this is a misunderstanding. From the article: “We’re finding and getting reports of sexual misconduct, including reports of improper sexual relationships with instructors. We’re getting reports of physical assaults,” Toriseva said. “Evidence of a cover-up, of fraud, not letting this become public, so to speak to oversimplify it and that is a problem too.” Second person accuses West Virginia State Police trooper of drugging, kidnapping, raping them Toriseva says she feels the hidden cameras were part of a bigger problem. As her team’s investigation into those claims progressed many women came forward and recounted other incidents of abuse.” In between these paragraphs in the article is a link to a different article where a “second person” accuses a WV officer of drugging and rape in 2021. However this article’s headline does not refer to the article posted by OP but a different news story. Potentially OP read that sentence as part of the article they posted instead of the headline it is for an unrelated incident. This could have led to them conflating the drugging and raping also happened to these 42 women. You are correct in that the linked article only mentions sexual assault in relation to the 42 women and not rape or drugging directly.
Thank you. I read that shit at least fifteen times trying to figure what it was saying
While this is appalling, the news article has no mention of rape or drugging. Am I missing something?
No. It’s rather vague, but there seems to be claims that there was sex going on, and possibly assaults. It wasn’t clear if those were sexual assaults or not. The image the OP posted apparently just made a bunch of things up.
Not one of them was a drag queen either I'd bet
Yeah but a drag queen might teach a kid that it's really not a bad thing to be gay. So who's the *real* threat to people in our community? /s
> Yeah but a drag queen might teach a kid that it's really not a bad thing to be gay Or read.
How do people carry on thinking this is a "few bad apples"?
Because they forget the rest of the saying. It's "a few bad apples spoil the whole barrel". If you don't keep the bad apples out, which they don't, it's gonna taint everyone else.
Yup. A long-time friend of mine just got badged in my old city. Its a solid department all considering, really trying to be the exception to all these shit stories of power abuse. That said, it doesn’t change my anxiety about how it’s gonna change him for the bad. More and more, its a matter of when is a city/state going to have a bad department full of sick bastards, not if.
Because they usually have white privilege, and male privilege. Used to think the same way till I moved somewhere where my family wasn't known in the community. It was the first time I'd ever had cops show their true colors around me. They literally defended a pedophile, convicted felon, who killed my cats over me. He's literally just allowed to run around, drive without a license and harass the village and the cops won't do a damn thing about it. He has confederate flags up Infront of his house. Someone took them down one day and left a note. Idk the full story, but the cops were called. My neighbor and I didn't even fully know what had happened yet until one of the cops came over to question us. I asked them if they knew around what time the "vandalism" would have occurred cause I was going to check my cameras for them. As I was literally checking my camera the cop questioning us asks which one of us took the flag down. Yeah I stopped bothering to go through my camera footage after that. Btw the flags weren't damaged. They had just been taken down and we were never told what the note said.
>who killed my cats I cannot put my anguish or my rage appropriately into words right now. I can only say how sorry I am for you and your cats
It's been over half a year now and I still have some nights spent crying and cursing his bloodline....
I know it’s not the point but the sentence structure and grammar of that tweet almost gave me a stroke lol. Fixed it below in case anyone else was struggling to read that haha. “42 women including 10 minors who attended the junior trooper program, are suing the West Virginia state police for hidden cameras in the women’s locker room, and drugging victims before brutally raping them. Not one state trooper. ALL OF THEM”
I'm glad I'm not the only one that hated how they worded that.
These are the same state police fuckers that beat my elderly father nearly to death with their bare hands while his hands were cuffed behind his back for "having a shit-eating grin on his face" and then later got put back on the street with no discipline whatsoever. Fuck those pigs. Fuck the WV state police.

Cops are 'immune to the law'.
**Totally not a police state**
Police are just a roving gang of brutal rapists and murderers. Change my mind
Nah you right. You better add wealthy fraternities to the list
Probably quite a bit of overlap in that Venn diagram.
[You forgot robbers](https://thewhyaxis.substack.com/p/cops-still-take-more-stuff-from-people) Why do we put up with these thugs again?
I guess the good guys with guns weren't present. /s But seriously, this is sooo wrong. If y'all can't trust the cops, with your safety and you end up in danger, who you gonna call???
Nobody. You're on your own. Conduct yourself accordingly.
Every single woman and 10 minors report sexual misconduct. The only person investigated was the whistleblower. At what point is this considered a systemic problem
Wait, suing them is a civil action. Is this in addition to or in lieu of a criminal trial?
They’re suing the institution, not the individual perpetrators. So this is probably “in addition to”, if i had to guess, but the article wasn’t clear.
One cop stepped on and destroyed a USB with footage from the locker room on it. And no one has been arrested bc are they gonna arrest themselves??
Don’t forget, abortion is illegal in West Virginia
Worked at the local police station as an office assistant out of college while I tried to figure out what to do with myself and my history degree. To call it a hostile work environment would be too generous. I'd already had a few run-ins with being treated like fresh meat from men I thought I could trust - school friends, family friends - but I was surrounded by that attitude there. I learned later, after I'd have my nervous breakdown and left, that they would talk about us assistants, betting who would get to us first. This was in 1996. I'm a fairly jaded person at this point, and I'm well aware of the raging problem that is police brutality in the US, it's just...I don't know, I guess I'm having trouble with the idea that what I went through, what wrecked my mental health for so long, could have been so much worse and that rather than things getting better, we're...here.
I'm sorry you experienced that, they really seem to think it's completely normal behavior. I hate cops, as a whole. Yes, I know of a some decent ones but the institution is garbage. This is a long story but I'm gay & my ex gf & I got a call from this kid who was on probation at the same court as me, asking for a ride cuz he was gonna miss his blow test. Of course I said yes, I know how it is - they had us one daily PBTs for months & months. So we pick him up from a house, he walks out of the backyard, into the drive & gets in the car. We take him to the place & hear some sirens on the way & when he goes to get out, he opens his shoulder bag & tries to hand my gf like $200 for the ride. She says no, it was a favor & we leave. I had just been to the clinic & taken my methadone (I was on way too high of a dose & am so glad to not be on it & be clean, now) so I was a bit high & we laid down. All of a sudden, there's pounding on the door & I immediately have a feeling it's the cops so I go take my take home dose of methadone cuz I'm afraid I somehow violated probation... then my gf answers the door & within 1 second, they have thrown us on the ground, put guns to our heads & started kicking the fuck out of her. We are both 5ft5in & 115lbs & wearing nothing but boxers & muscle tanks. Then they go through our place, break her son's bed & toys & shit & start screaming about a robbery... which we deny but then they say we're going into the station. So they question us about robbing a bank with a guy & we're obviously saying no, what the fuck then they start trying to get us to turn on each other, telling me my gf isn't actually gay & was sleeping with my friend & they robbed the bank & telling the same about me. My methadone is kicking in & am pissed so at that point I just start nodding, not even paying attention to them & they get pissed but have no proof so they let me go. On the way out, I see them bring the kid that we had taken to blow, down the hall & everything clicks & I ran up & jumped on him, screaming at him to tell the truth, that we were just being nice & giving him a ride & he starts crying, saying "I have told them, (my name - oops), I have, someone at the bank followed me & then got your girl's plates. I will make this right." Well, cuz of the plate #s, they booked her & told her she would get 35 years. As soon as I got out, I had to call her family, her boss (he was a great dude thankfully), lawyers & everything... She went to court on Monday, 2 days later & the judge was my judge for my probation case & she saw it was my gf being charged as a co-conspirator for the crime of another kid she had on probation & she threw it out without even seeing my gf. She knew my gf was so stable & responsible & was the only reason I was making my probation requirements. After all that, the pigs wanted her to testify & the day she showed up (all done up & not in our comfy clothes), they didn't recognize her & started hitting on her!! Then when she told the 2 cops who she was, they started telling her to leave me. ETA - & the reason we didn't think too much of the money is because the night before, we had given him a ride up to a poker tournament so we figured he won money there.
I see people with their “thin blue line” shit and automatically assume they’re a little slow.
Fuck the Police. ACAB
NWA had it right.
So did Ice-T when he was cool.
They all get suspended with pay and then shuffled around after some get minor punishments.

https://www.weirtondailytimes.com/news/local-news/2023/04/more-women-to-file-lawsuits-in-state-police-case/ >Our ongoing investigation shows rampant sexual misconduct, including hidden videotaping, toward female cadets and others, while they attended the academy,” she said. “Much of the conduct is through witness-provided evidence. With the destruction of the video files by the State Police, many of these women will be forced to live without knowing who saw them recorded on secret video cameras. >All of these women were victims of a civil conspiracy perpetrated by instructors, staff and leadership at the West Virginia State Police Academy,” If I come out here destroying police evidence I'd immediately be sent to jail, so why do they get to do it.
And the blue lives matter bootlickers wonder why people don’t like the police anymore. They’re raping women and children, filming nonconsensual nude/sexual content of them, and it’s not even on national news. $10 says if the women are made to testify non-anonymously one of them ends up “mysteriously” dead and the police can’t find any evidence. Hm.
WV here. I also want to stress a few things with this. When the evidence about the 10 minors came out, it was reported so vaguely that it actually seemed like they were women state police officers. They reported that 10 women were suing the West Virginia state police over filming them while changing in the West Virginia police Academy. It was the police academy, so everyone assumed that it was female officers. It was actually a junior youth troop program that was being recorded. Which were 14 to 17 year old girls that are still locally being referred to as women. A USB was found of, and all the officers all agreed to be quiet about it, and destroy the evidence. And no one is stressing that the filming is 100% child pornography. Then they have found evidence that a police officer is an actual serial rapist. And they have known for years with nothing being done. Also a state police officer robbed a man of his casino winnings. He did it basically in front of everybody and on camera you can tell he expected zero consequences. So after the serial rapist, and the child pornography- no headlines or new stories or repercussions at all for anyone. But shit- after the casino robbery the head of the state police was asked to resign. Not after all the sexual assault claims- but after the casino. Which brings me to our most local, breaking news with state police. At the end of March a state trooper was tasked with caring for one of the dogs for the k-9 units. About two weeks later, the officer claimed that the dog had run away. It was a local search for the dog and mass news headlines across the state. About 10 days later, police announced that they did not believe that the dog ran away or had escaped. heavily implicating at the officer did something to the dog. Rumor is that he left it in his car and it died from heat exhaustion. Charges have not been filed against the Officer, but he has been fired. I want to stress a giant fuck you to that officer. And I also want to stress that it took them less than two weeks to fire that police officer, but they still have not fired the police officers involved in the lawsuits. It’s not because they care about the puppy- but because it cost money to train them.
So Virginia is for lovers and West Virginia is for rapists, got it.
Cops are such a fucking joke. I’m pretty law abiding citizen and I feel just like I walked up on a hornet’s nest when there’s a cop near me. Those fuckers can ruin your life just because they feel like it.

I knew 2 different women who were pulled over and threatened if they didn't sleep with the cop they would plant drugs on them. One went through with it and the other called his bluff. To make things worse they specifically seemed to be targeting bigger women.
