JOHNNY HURLEY'S BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS: Arvada PD – Trained to Kill, Incompetent to Protect.
In partnership with
Welcome to the Copwatch Chronicle.
In a move that’s as Orwellian as it gets, the Trump administration has shut down the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database, a tool that was supposed to track police misconduct. Wait a second, didn’t Trump propose this database in the first place back in 2020? Yeah, he did, and then Biden actually made it happen in 2023. Now, Trump’s back in office and pulling the plug on it. Talk about a flip-flop that makes your head spin.
So, what does this mean for us, the people who are supposed to be protected by these officers? It means that the government is making it harder to keep track of cops who have a history of misconduct. It’s like they’re saying, ‘Sure, bad apples exist, but let’s not bother keeping records of them. That might make some people uncomfortable.’
Here at Copwatch Chronicle, we’re going to keep doing what we do best: bringing you the stories that the powers that be don’t want you to hear. This week we’ve heard a doozy from Memphis, where a citizen was stopped, ID demanded, and intimidated—just for walking home. It’s a classic case of police overreach, and it’s exactly the kind of incident that the now-defunct database was meant to help prevent in the future.
Comparative Analysis of Alternative Facts
While the New York settlement ($206 million in 2024) was considered, it was less directly tied to the database's purpose and more about financial consequences. Other search results, like the FAU study from 2012-2023 or older cases, were outdated and less relevant. The database shutdown's policy reversal and timing in 2025 made it the strongest choice.
