Minneapolis Cop Had 22 Internal Affairs Investigations

May 18th, 2015

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Officer Michael Griffin being commended by Chief Janee Harteau.

This first part of this post was generated by one of our readers in the submission section, where everyday people join us in spreading the message that, ‘Badges don’t grant extra rights.’

Officer Michael Griffin has been with Minneapolis Police Department for eight years. During that time, he has managed to rack up a staggering 22 police internal affairs investigations, has cost the taxpayers over $410,000 in brutality lawsuit settlements, and is currently being investigated by the FBI.

He has apparently faced little in the way of consequences for his actions, other than a single letter of reprimand, and continues to ‘protect and serve’ to this day. Two of the brutality lawsuits arose from incidents, in 2010 and 2011, where Griffin initiated fist fights with bar patrons while off duty, knocking one to the ground, and giving the other a concussion. While you or I would most certainly be convicted of assault for such crimes, Griffin somehow avoided any sort of criminal charges in both incidents, leaving the taxpayers to pick up the tab to the tune of $140,000, and $145,653, respectively.

Please call the Minneapolis Office of Police Conduct Review at 612-673-5500, and ask them why Officer Griffin is still allowed to patrol the streets, and is not in jail where he clearly belongs.

The city of Minneapolis has paid out over ten million dollars in lawsuits since 2010, according to KARE11:

…since January 2010, Minneapolis has dealt with 141 “Officer Conduct lawsuits.” The city won 51 of them — either at trial or when a judge dismissed the case.
But the city had to pay money in 90 of those cases — settling 86 times — and losing four trials.
In that time — Minneapolis has paid $10.7 million for officer conduct lawsuits. That includes two years — 2011 and 2013 — when the city had to pay more than $4 million each year….
In 2011, Minneapolis paid nearly $2.2 million to he family of Dominic Felder, who died in 2006 — shot seven times by two officers.
And in 2010, David Smith died after police used a Taser and held him down outside the downtown Minneapolis YMCA. Minneapolis settled with his family in 2013 for nearly $3.1 million.

A few days ago I reported about a Minneapolis Police officer who sprayed a child with a chemical irritant at a peaceful protest. I am not sure if this is all just a horrible coincidence or build-up for an extremely misguided upcoming viral marketing campaign, ‘Minneapolis: Come for the brutal winters, stay for the police brutality.’
