Why the hell isn't this cop disciplined?

I guess kissing is not allowed in Hawaii, huh? They make their own rules for how cops are treated. If anything, that pig will get a slap on the wrist or a little note in his file. That's how they protect each other.

Here's one about a cop who killed a young man in Florida. A civil suit was filed and the cops were told to preserve the killer's phone. They promptly lost it and can't explain how.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - The 98 page internal affairs report is summed up this way:Sgt. Michael Custer's missing work cell phone was the result of "poor supervising, oversight and a lack of follow up," according to internal investigators at the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

It's the latest development from one of the most controversial deputy-involved shootings in recent Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office history.

On May 16, 2012, 24-year-old Seth Adams was shot and killed in the parking lot of his family's Loxahatchee garden shop by PBSO Sgt. Michael Custer.

Two weeks later, according to the IA report, PBSO's legal team was advised by then-Adams family attorneys, to preserve all evidence connected to the shooting, including Custer's cell phone. Text messages on the phone, Adams family attorneys believe, may challenge Custer's versions of what happened that night.

Sgt. Custer has always maintained that Adams, who was legally drunk at the time, was the aggressor and attacked Custer. Custer claimed he only fired at Adams when he thought Adams was reaching for a gun.

Adams was unarmed when he was shot. Adams' family has always disputed Custer's claims and their attorneys maintain that evidence from the scene including Adams' blood trail, doesn't add up to Custer's version of events.

In this final IA report on the missing cell phone, initiated by Sheriff Bradshaw this summer, Sgt. Custer claimed weeks after the shooting he gave his phone to someone in the telecommunications department.

An employee in telecommunications claims they "tore the office apart" looking for the phone but thought Violent Crimes had it..

Meanwhile, employees interviewed in the Violent Crimes Department thought the phone was with another department.

In the words of one homicide captain interviewed during the internal investigation,"there were a lot of assumptions on what was going to happen with the phone, um, whether internal affairs was going to get the phone, if we were going to get the phone , or who and its obvious on our part that there wasn't a lot of follow up with it."

Custer's phone may have ended up at a recycling company or with a domestic violence shelter, where PBSO often sends old phones.

The case has resulted in a series of new procedures at PBSO but little discipline, other than a review of protocol and verbal counseling.

Next month, PBSO attorneys will have to explain all of this to a federal judge who has demanded answers on how PBSO could have lost this evidence.
