Otherwise, tripping on the SJPD news. Cops from Iraq with PTSD? Awesome!
From the San Jose Mercury (Murky) News:
"The department declined to comment on any individual cases, three of which occurred in a three-week period last summer. Payne's lawyer, Craig Brown, called the incidents evidence of a hard-charging officer willing to take on tough assignments:" "It seems like a guy out there doing his job and encountering people who, frankly, are out of control."
"Payne, an Iraqi war veteran whose father is a sergeant on the force, joined the department in 2006. Payne is known as an officer eager to take on such difficult assignments as gang suppression and weekend work in the downtown entertainment zone— assignments where his attorney, Brown, noted incidents of force are more likely to occur."
"According to Roger Clark, a registered use-of-force force expert and a former lieutenant with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. "We in law enforcement have a name for it: the lightning rod. He is the main ingredient of the soup of the situation. The fact that he has all these uses of force on these type of cases doesn't happen by chance, If this is allowed to continue, then he becomes dangerous to himself and to others.'' "
