Same reason crooked cops are NEVER fired. The police are corrupt to the core!!!!

Well, ever now and then a crooked cop is fired. But it's usually when the crooked cop p*sses off his crooked masters.

The Founders gave us the 2nd Amendment for this reason. If we don't use the Second Amendment, we are going to lose it.

Everytime I think of Winslow cop Austin Shipley murdering Loreal Tsingine I think of my friend Yazzi being murdered by a crooked cop because he has brown skin.

Yazzi is a Navajo Indian like Loreal Tsingine. I asked Yazzi, if he knows Loreal Tsingine. He said he didn't.

Roberts: Why was Winslow officer still on the streets?

Laurie Roberts, The Republic | azcentral.com 4:31 p.m. MST April 12, 2016

More than 200 people gathered Saturday outside the Winslow Police Department to call for an investigation into the fatal police shooting of Loreal Tsingine.

The Winslow police officer once fired a Taser at a 15-year-old girl as she walked away from him.

He once Tased a drunk cuffed to a hospital bed.

He dragged a DUI suspect out of her car by her hair.

He justified his conduct in one instance in a report that an investigator found “simply inaccurate.”

And yet there he was in March, on the streets of Winslow on what would become 27-year-old Loreal Tsingine’s last night on this earth.

It’s too soon to say whether Officer Austin Shipley murdered Tsingine, a Navajo woman suspected of shoplifting beer from a convenience store.

A short career filled with bad marks

It is not too soon, however, to ask the question:

Why the heck was this guy let loose on the public with a badge and a gun?

According to newly-released public records obtained by The Republic's Yihyun Jeong, Shipley had quite the exciting career in Winslow before the fatal March 27 encounter.

He’d held suspects at gunpoint five times, drawn his Taser four times and used physical force at least three times.

And he’s only been a cop since 2013.

Shipley's reports were 'clearly inaccurate'

Consider the Jan. 12 incident when Shipley responded to a call of a fight in progress at a park. There, he found a 15-year-old girl and a male were fighting as a group watched. Turns out it was horseplay, but he didn’t know that at time.

He ordered the group to sit on the curb but the girl didn’t comply. In a video, obtained from Shipley’s body camera, she is seen reaching to waist, pulling up her sweatpants as she walked away from Shipley, her back to him.

So he fired his Taser, dropping her to the ground.

In his report, Shipley wrote that the girl “was making movements with her hands near her waist band area," and that "there possibly was a weapon involved."

An investigator determined that the girl made no abrupt movements and never threatened Shipley.

And all this guy gets is a one-day suspension?

“Shipley’s narrative that the subject on the ground ‘got back in a manner as if they wanted to fight back’ is clearly inaccurate,” the investigating officer wrote. “In observation, they were not acting in an aggressive manner, even after his arrival and were not involved in any verbal exchanges.”​

The most charitable interpretation: This young police officer was in over his head.

Yet all he got was a one-day suspension, probation and an order to get more training in the use of force.

Which is far more than the nothing he got when he pulled a DUI suspect out of her car by her hair.

Or when he deployed his Taser against a combative drunk who was restrained to a hospital bed.

Or in 10 other instances in which he used force when confronting a suspect.

What was Winslow PD thinking?

On March 27, Shipley responded to a report that a woman had shoplifted beer from a convenience store and he found Tsingine, who fit the suspect’s description, a few blocks away.

Winslow police say Tsingine fought Shipley and threatened him with scissors as he tried to take her into custody.

So he shot her five times.

It’ll be up to the Department of Public Safety to determine what happened here and whether Shipley was justified in killing a possible shoplifter with scissors.

Meanwhile, we are left to ponder how the Winslow Police Department was justified in putting this officer – an officer who just two months earlier Tased an unarmed 15-year-old girl in the back, one whose account of the incident was deemed "simply inaccurate" – on streets at all.
