USA: Former rookie cop who all
A former rookie cop is suing the city, saying the Portland Police Bureau forced her to resign after she reported alleged misconduct involving her field training officer that ranged from using excessive force to ordering her to falsify police reports.

Lindsay K. Hunt also accused the field training officer, Quency Ho, of repeatedly taking goods without paying for them from a Northeast Portland convenience store, refusing to fill out a bureau-required "use of force" report after drawing his weapon and attacking a citizen, and ordering citizens to get rid of a knife used in a crime.

Dallas PD officers on leave af

Two Dallas police officers have been placed on leave after being accused of battering a petty thief suspect. Surveillance camera caught the incident on video.

Officers Christian Mendoza and Henry Silvestriz have both been placed on administrative leave while two separate departments look into how Willie McCree, a 20-year-old petty thief suspect, ended up battered and bruised after he was arrested by the officers.

McCree already had a long record of minor crimes when police were called to a Bachman area check cashing store, which was where the manager suspected McCree of trying to cash a stolen check.

But, police didn't charge him with that crime. Instead, they brought him to a detox center and charged him with public intoxication. It was in the detox center's parking lot where the problems started. A security camera in the lot captured the incident and was reported to police after staff at the center viewed the tape.

Police sources said the tape shows one officer pushing McCree down for no reason. Once inside, another officer was caught on tape looking around before taking McCree out of the camera's view and allegedly striking him in the mount with his elbow.

The two officers under investigation were both hired in 2007, and have been placed on administrative leave while the investigation continues

In addition to internal affairs looking into the case, sources said the public integrity unit is also looking into the incident. The public integrity unit investigates those suspected of committing a criminal offense, like assault.
