The Spokane, WA Sheriffs Department spent $12k to run a recruitment ad in Times Square which misspelled Washington.

The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office spent $12,000 for two days of billboard advertising in Times Square in New York City intended to recruit deputies, but ended up with a lot of nationwide attention as a result.

The message was that Spokane County is looking to hire 40 experienced law enforcement officers, and pay them a $15,000 hiring bonus.

Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said he bought billboards in cities where elected officials have spoken negatively about police officers.

“New York was one of the heaviest areas where their local leaders really came out and did not support their law enforcement, actually disrespected them,” he told The Spokesman-Review.

Sometimes I feel animals have more rights than minorities and the poor.

[Yabby]

Careful with that argument, they will use it to take rights away, never to increase the rights of others.

An ex-Baltimore officer has been found dead along with his two daughters he had kidnapped. It appears to be a murder-suicide.

Despite pleas for a peaceful surrender, the four-day manhunt for ex-Baltimore County Police Officer Robert Vicosa and his two kidnapped daughters ended in tragedy Thursday, with both girls dead.

Police found Giana and Aaminah Vicosa, ages 7 and 6, respectively, their father and his alleged criminal accomplice in a minor car crash Thursday afternoon after a brief chase into Western Maryland, sources with direct knowledge of the investigation said.

When police approached the car, they discovered all four people inside had been shot, Maryland State Police spokeswoman Elena Russo said at an evening news conference. Three of them died at the scene and one, a child, was flown to a hospital in Hagerstown where the child died, Russo said. She declined to officially identify the victims.

The four were found after the car drifted off the road and crashed in a shallow ditch outside the small town of Ringgold. Robert Vicosa and current Baltimore County Police Officer Tia Bynum, his alleged accomplice, had taken off in the stolen car as authorities closed in, sources said.

Honolulu police are being sued for falsely imprisoning a man for two years that was confused with another. The man who police thought he was was actually locked up in Alaska.

A formerly homeless man who ended up in a mental institution for more than two years because of mistaken identity is suing the state and various Honolulu police officers, Hawaii public defenders and doctors.

He was homeless and hungry while waiting in a long line for food outside a Honolulu shelter in 2017.

When a police officer roused him awake, Spriestersbach thought he was being arrested for the city’s ban on sitting or laying on public sidewalks.

The officer mistook him for a man named Thomas Castleberry, who had a warrant out for his arrest for allegedly violating probation in a 2006 drug case.

Despite Spriestersbach’s protests that he wasn’t Castleberry, he ended up in the Hawaii State Hospital, where he was forced to take psychiatric drugs, the petition said. When a doctor looked into his case and verified the mix-up, officials tried to cover up the mistake by quietly setting him free with just 50 cents to his name, his lawyers said.

The lawsuit sheds new light on factors that led to the mix-up, starting with an encounter with officers that happened years earlier.

Spriestersbach was arrested in 2011 for sleeping in a stairwell of a Honolulu middle school. It’s unclear why, but he gave the last name Castleberry, which was his grandfather’s last name, his lawyers said. He didn’t give a first name.

Thomas Castleberry’s 2009 warrant came up, but police were able to determine Spriestersbach wasn’t Thomas Castleberry.

Spriestersbach was arrested again in 2015 for sleeping in a park. He gave his real name, but Thomas Castleberry appeared as an alias. Authorities checked fingerprints and again determined he wasn’t Castleberry.

During his 2017 arrest, Spriestersbach gave his real name, but Thomas Castleberry still showed up as an alias. This time, he was arrested for the warrant.

Even though he was fingerprinted and photographed at a jail, no one checked the prints or photo against Thomas Castleberry’s, the lawsuit said.

Castleberry, who isn’t related to Spriestersbach, is in custody with the Alaska of Department of Corrections, with an expected release date in 2022, the lawsuit said.

I hope when he wins and gets his money back they have to pay all the lawyer and court fees and kick him a little extra too for the trouble. That is some BS.

The most astonishing part of that story is the fact he had the receipts for all of the transactions clearly organized with the cash.

Remember, this is what can happen if you "just comply."

Flex them rights folks.
