Scalia’s New Professionalism Roundup

Monday, September 3rd, 2007
  • Cop apparently shooting at a snake in a tree accidentally kills a five-year-old boy.
  • Police dog dies after being left in officer’s car for 13 hours in 109-degree heat.
  • Excellent series in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on how police in Washington state are routinely let off by fellow officers when stopped for DWI. Some were driving drunk in their squad cars.
  • Illinois police chief indicted for a 10-year racketeering scam.
  • All sorts of shenanigans going on at the Jupiter, Florida police department.
  • Just as a federal probe is underway investigating the Yonkers, NY police department for discrimination and excessive force, a man was allegedly confronted, arrested, and roughed up by police using racial slurs while walking his dog, all in front of his 8-year-old daughter. There’s video, and witness accounts support the man’s family’s account of the arrest.
