Wildcat Will Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office has criminally charged a Paterson police officer for shooting an unarmed man in the back last year — paralyzing him — as the man fled earlier gunfire. Officer Jerry Moravek, 40, was charged with second-degree aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury and second-degree official misconduct for the June 11 incident that left Khalif Cooper, 28, with bullet fragments in his spine and unable to walk. Police were investigating a disturbance that night when gunfire erupted, scattering a small crowd that had gathered in the street. Moravek’s body camera footage shows that he ran toward the sound of the gunfire, but changed course when Cooper darted past him. During a 15-second chase, Moravek shouted at Cooper four times to drop the gun, the video shows. But the officer never ordered Cooper to stop running and get to the ground, or warned him that he would use deadly force, Attorney General Matt Platkin said. Instead, he shot at Cooper twice, hitting him once in the back, Platkin said. That violated the state’s use of force policies, which allow officers to use deadly force only to protect themselves or the public from imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury, said Platkin, who announced the charges during a news conference Monday at his office in Trenton. “Every officer knows that his firearm is meant to be a last resort,” he said. “And our policy is clear: Officers have a responsibility to use force only after giving civilians a chance to comply with orders.” Platkin acknowledged the “significant step” the criminal charges represent. Fatal police encounters by state law are presented to a grand jury, which rarely indicts officers. Nonfatal police shootings don’t typically go before a grand jury, and criminal charges are so rare in those cases that Platkin couldn’t respond to a reporter’s question about how often it occurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Awesome one out of Arkansas! Thank you Officer - POTTSVILLE, Ark. — A rookie police officer is being hailed a hero after saving a choking infant. FOX16.com reported that Pottsville Police Officer Cody Hubbard, 23, responded to a call for a 3-week-old baby boy who was choking on anti-gas drops. "We were trying to give Grady his medicine … and he was taking them just fine," the baby's father, Joe Chronister, told FOX News. "Right towards the end, he started choking." The family called 911 after Grady started to "turn purple." The rescue was caught on Hubbard's bodycam. "It was life-changing," Hubbard, who has experienced the same problem with his daughter, said. "Anytime I deal with something that involves a child, I think about how the parents would want me to treat the child as if it was mine," he explained. After the call, Hubbard said he went into his patrol car and started crying. "I started just kind of bawling because, you know, it felt good to see how that turned out," he recalled. "Mentally, I just broke down. I was crying, but it was happy tears." The baby is doing well, according to his parents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 What a kind officer in Colorado! BOULDER, Colo. — A Colorado police officer is being praised for his compassionate response for helping guide a woman with dementia back home after she wandered off. The woman’s husband had called police earlier this month to report his wife missing, according to the Boulder Police Department. The 78-year-old woman was wearing a tracker so police were able to find her easily. Officer David Kaufman approached the woman, but she refused his assistance, police said. Instead, Kaufman walked with her for “quite a long time” until she got tired and accepted a ride home. The encounter was caught on an officer's body camera. “June does not want to stop so I think we’re just going to walk with her,” an officer is heard saying. According to FOX 31, Kaufman and seven others, including a mental health specialist, spent about an hour walking and getting to know her. “I have an 81-year-old father who suffers from dementia and I’m aware of what could be happening at any moment and how tenuous it is,” Kaufman told FOX 31. “It was definitely personal to me to get that person back to her husband.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Well done in Florida Gentlemen! WEST MELBOURNE, Fla. — A driver narrowly escaped with his life the other day as his car was engulfed in flames on the Space Coast in Florida. The horrifying incident was caught on camera with bodycam footage, according to a Thursday post from the West Melbourne Police Department. A Facebook post says that officers from WMPD and the Palm Bay Police Department were already on site of a Hampton Inn regarding an investigation when they were alerted to a car on fire at around 10:30 a.m. “Flames were visible as the officers approached the vehicle, which appeared to have crashed,” says the FB release. “They also observed smoke billowing out, making it difficult for the officers to determine if anyone was inside. As they approached they could hear someone calling for help.” The camera starts rolling as four cops surround the dark-colored SUV, its interior completely filled with white smoke. The back passenger’s side door is open and smoke billows out. “Where are you?” screams an officer into the vehicle. “Can you get out?” A fire extinguisher is used to break the front passenger-side window. An officer reaches in and unlocks the door from the inside and opens it. “We’ve got to get you out!” screams the officer wearing the bodycam, his arms pulling the man by his shirt. “You’ve got to help me help you!” Finally, the victim is dragged out onto the ground, coughing. The agency says he was taken to a local hospital to treat his injuries and is in stable condition. “Had it not been for the swift action of these officers, things may have ended differently,” said the FB post, which added that the four cops were also transported to a local hospital for smoke inhalation. Three were released and one had to stay for observation. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Compassion from Atlanta! Thank You - ATLANTA — An Atlanta police officer’s act of kindness was shared far and wide on Wednesday. A video posted on Instagram shows the officer taking a pair of sneakers from her car and giving them to a shoeless man. Atlanta Police identified the officer as Officer S. Thomas. In a Facebook post, police said Thomas had bought the shoes a few months ago for a barefoot homeless man she had encountered while on her shift. After speaking with the man, Thomas left to buy him shoes, but he was gone when she returned. According to police, Thomas decided to keep the shoes in her trunk just in case she saw him again. Later, while Thomas was working an extra job at a grocery store, she saw a man who was barefoot. That’s when a passerby began filming as Thomas gave the shoes to the man. According to police, Thomas was not aware she was being filmed. “She simply saw a person with a need that she could fill and did so,” police said. “We thank the person who filmed this kind act and who took the time to share with others on social media.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
