Secret Police Misconduct List
There is a list of more than 600 Chicago police officers who have a complaint list that contains no fewer than 10 citizen complaints on each one of the officers.
Attorney Craig Futterman, who is representing a woman that is claiming abuse, said that the release of the list to the public will shed light on exactly who the offenders are. Recently, a federal judge ruled that the documents regarding reported police misconduct could be made public. The city is in the process of appealing that decision. In the meantime, they have...

METAL MAN: Constable Rigel Wal

Police investigate constable's
Police are looking into the employment of a police constable who is frontman of a thrash metal band, which calls for the eradication of the "weak and inferior".
By day the heavily tattooed Rigel Walshe works as a court escort in the Counties Manukau police district.
But in his spare time he is lead singer and bass guitarist of the band Dawn of Azazel in his spare time.
On the band's website, Walshe is quoted as saying the motivation for forming the band was to create a "dark extreme hateful metal".
It was reported on Sunday that Walshe had been warned by his superiors not to discuss his job with the media.
The district's professional standards manager, Inspector Keith Brady, said police knew of Walshe's band membership, but refused to comment on whether it was appropriate.
"It involves a police member's personal life, and I'm not prepared to discuss that in the media. There has been no specific investigation in respect of his involvement in that band."
But a spokesman for the Office of the Police Commissioner, Jon Neilson, told NZPA that Walshe's bosses were investigating his employment internally.
"The distinction is around his employment, not what he does in his private time."
Mr Neilson refused to comment on a quote on Walshe's website where he talked about strict gun control laws in New Zealand in relation to owning semi-automatic military style assault rifles.
"Thankfully as a member of the armed forces I do not have to endure the red tape to use weapons of the type mentioned," Walshe is quoted as saying.
Walshe also says on the website: "I'm most f––d off at people that are afraid to confront their fears, will waste their potential, and just follow like sheep, basically the weak and f–-ing mediocre that infest our world."

"There is nothing to be gained from a subtle approach to eradication of the weak," he says.
