NEW: The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office created a misconduct disclosure about a #Brockton police lieutenant more than two years after a #Massachusetts judge found that the officer made “materially false” statements in a sworn affidavit when applying for a search warrant a decade ago.

NEW: The #Massachusetts police oversight board suspended a state trooper’s law-enforcement certification after he was charged with stealing a Bobcat bucket-loader vehicle from a contractor he hired to remove fallen trees from his property in Palmer, court records say.

Since this post is taking off again, it would be cool if people checked out and supported my work:

"The Man Who Killed Batman" is a BTAS masterpiece. Villains like the Joker and Rupert Thorne struggle to come to terms with Batman's apparent death at the hands of a no-name hoodlum. It's a well-produced episode and the Joker's angry, vain eulogy for Batman is an all-time moment for the character.

More than 100 people gathered Tuesday night at the Casimir Pulaski School auditorium to express privacy concerns over Flock cameras and to demand that city officials remove them from the 20 locations at which they were quietly installed almost 2 years ago. 📝 Anastasia E. Lennon 📸 Eleonora Bianchi

Our new series "The Brady Bunch" digs into the police misconduct records — known as Brady disclosures — that @andrewqmr.bsky.social won in a years-long transparency lawsuit against the Northwestern DA. Read the first installment here: theshoestring.org/2026/07/23/r...

#Brookline police filed felony vandalism charges against an 80-year-old Jewish woman who put a “Free Palestine” sticker on the front window of a deli that displays an Israeli flag. #Massachusetts

I'm sure this is going to get dunked on, "bc the Tates "deserve these conditions," but: (1) This sort of "just for these bad ppl" justification ALWAYS metastasizes. Always. (2) This is where Anders Breivik, Norway's most famous mass murderer, is held. Just a different concept of humanity.

The Tate brothers are being held in FDC Miami. Regardless of how you feel about them, the conditions there are widely reported to be awful. Part of the building is being used to hold ICE detainees, and I've heard and read complaints of constant lockdowns, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions.

#Boston cop charged with assault, state trooper accused of assaulting colleague identified, and more—here are the media reports of alleged law enforcement misconduct in #Massachusetts that I’ve tracked during the last week.

Your AI retirement plan.

The state police finally got back to me about my request from March and said "wow, that's a lot of data, we're working on it real hard and maybe next month we'll give you another update." In case anybody wanted a real world example of public records requests for video held by the police.

NEW collab w/ @theshoestring.bsky.social: A retired Granby police lieutenant entered into an agreement to never again work in law enforcement after he allegedly paid subordinates to complete his college coursework for him and made sexually explicit comments in front of subordinates. #Massachusetts

Police arrested a teacher for clapping during a city council meeting last week. They went to the meeting of Emporia, Kansas City Commission to speak out against a proposed hyperscale data center that would sit on 1,000 acres of rural land. @mjgault.bsky.social reports www.404media.co/person-oppos...

People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.

I was pulling photos from Getty Images today and this one took my breath away for a second. "Plain clothed federal agents pursue a man through the lobby of the Hennepin County Government Center before tackling and arresting him Tuesday, February 10, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minn."
