#8 - Shaun Lucas
On October the 3rd of 2020, Texas police officer Shaun Lucas gunned down 31-year-old
Jonathan Price, an African American man, during a disturbance call to his home in Wolfe City. Upon
his arrival at the scene, 22-year-old Lucas encountered an allegedly intoxicated Price,
who approached him with his arm extended in front of him. The officer later indicated that he’d felt
threatened by the homeowner’s disposition and thus attempted to restrain him before
pulling out his taser. When Price began walking away, Lucas tried to activate the teaser, but it
failed to deploy. Price then grabbed the end of the weapon, as was captured by the policeman’s
body cam. Lucas proceeded to fatally shoot the resident four times. Price, who’d consequently
been rendered unconscious, was rushed to the Hunt Regional Medical Center in nearby Greenville.
All attempts to revive him proved unsuccessful. Lucas was immediately terminated from the police
department and charged with murder in connection to the incident. His trial was delayed due to
COVID-related issues, and judge Keli Aiken scheduled the first hearing for May the 19th
of 2022. As of latest updates, it’s unclear what stage the case’s legal proceedings had reached.
#7 - Jason McIntosh
Ex-Alabama law enforcement officer Jason McIntosh beat and murdered his estranged wife,
Megan Montgomery in December of 2019. The man had reportedly resigned from the police force
following a previous incident in which he’d shot Montgomery in the arm while they struggled
over his gun. In the aftermath, McIntosh blamed his wife for the violent altercation,
after which the woman obtained a restraining order against him. Shortly thereafter,
Montgomery took further steps to distance herself from McIntosh by filing for divorce, to which
the latter responded with vengeful anger. The disgraced police officer followed the 31-year-old
woman to a bar and frog-marched her out to the parking lot. After being dragged into his car,
Montgomery was driven to a secluded spot where McIntosh beat her before shooting her in the head,
inflicting immediate mortal wounds. During the ensuing homicide investigation, detectives quickly
zeroed in on the victim's husband as a suspect given the couple’s violent history, as well as the
testimony of witnesses who’d been at the bar with Montgomery on the night of the murder. On March
the 30th of 2021, McIntosh accepted a deal with the prosecutor to avoid facing the death penalty.
He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was consequently sentenced to 30 years in prison.
#6 - Courtney Brown and Kristee Wilson
Georgia police officers Courtney Brown and Kristee Wilson were fired after displaying inappropriate
behavior during a routine traffic stop on April the 7th of 2019. According to subsequent reports,
Sarah Webb had been stopped by the officers, who were partners, for allegedly speeding. As
was recorded by Brown and Wilson's police body cameras, the women openly discussed the fact
that they had neither tickets left to issue nor the appropriate device to calculate how fast Webb
had been traveling prior to the stop. The officers then seemed to play some sort of twisted game in
which they used a coin-toss phone app to determine if they'd simply release Webb with a citation or
take her into custody, despite not having any evidence that she’d committed a violation. The
result of the subsequent coin flip indicated that Webb should be allowed to leave, however,
Brown and Wilson decided to apprehend her on charges of speeding and reckless driving anyway.
After reporters uncovered the officers’ damning body-cam video, an internal investigation
concluded that Wilson and Brown had failed to perform their duties appropriately on
several other previous occasions. Police chief Rusty Grant signed their termination letters,
stating their behavior “affected the efficiency of the department” and “destroyed public respect
for the force”. All charges against Webb were dropped on July the 9th of 2019.
#5 - Rachel Sorkow
Las Vegas police officer Rachel Sorkow was arrested on five charges of felony
misconduct and indecent exposure on December the 4th of 2018. The 29-year-old had allegedly
used state-issued equipment to film and ridicule unsuspecting citizens. During
her scornful recordings, Sorkow could be heard using pejorative terms, including racial slurs,
to mock her innocent targets. In one such clip, she reportedly taunted an overweight woman,
and in another, made fun of a mentally ill man while encouraging him to twerk. The most
serious allegation against Sorkow involved her filming a suspect's genitals without his
knowledge or consent. The investigation into her various wrongdoings was launched in September of
2018 after accusations surfaced that she’d shared classified information with friends and family.
During Sorkow’s eventual arrest, the hateful body cam recordings were found in her possession,
and it was also discovered that she’d gone so far as to distribute them among her contacts.
The shamed officer was relieved of duty pending the result of her criminal trial.
#4 - Michael Oxford
On August the 18th of 2020, Georgia police officer Michael Oxford was recorded violently arresting
a young woman after responding to reports of an alleged assault. 22-year-old Kyndesia Smith
was among the group accused of having thrown a bottle at a neighbor's car and threatening
their daughter. However, when questioned, Smith claimed to have only been sitting on her mother's
porch with a few friends. Upon arriving at the scene, Oxford first tried to discuss the incident
civilly with Smith, but the group she was with became rowdy, demanding that the officer leave
them alone. Smith contended that they’d been on private property and hadn’t participated in any
illegal activities. Undeterred, the officer informed the young woman that she was under
arrest and attempted to handcuff her. When Smith resisted, she was tasered as onlookers
recorded the altercation. Following her arrest, she was charged with felony obstruction and
simple battery against a police officer. The video of the incident was uploaded to TikTok,
gathering more than 19 million views within a few days. The police department subsequently
released a statement assuring the public that a thorough investigation was being conducted.
Although Oxford claimed to have warned Smith that he’d use force if she continued to resist,
his behavior during the arrest was ultimately deemed unacceptable. A couple of days after the
incident occurred, he was consequently fired for violating department policy.
#3 - John Haubert
John Haubert, a police officer from Aurora, Colorado, was forced to resign in disgrace after
body cam footage revealed he’d used unnecessary force during an arrest. The incident in question
took place on July the 23th of 2021, a week before Haubert ultimately quit his post. The 39-year-old
officer had responded to a report of trespassing in progress, but found no one at the address
provided during the 911 call. While interviewing three men standing on the sidewalk outside,
Haubert stumbled upon the fact that each of them had warrants out for their arrests. 29-year-old
Kyle Vinson was the only suspect who didn't attempt to flee, and he seemed wholly unaware
that he was wanted by the police, as his own warrant had been issued recently. The recording
recovered from the body cam showed the police officer repeatedly pistol-whipping, choking,
and threatening to shoot the suspect. Vinson could be heard gasping for air during the video,
and at several points screamed: "you are killing me!". With a chilling disregard
for the man’s well-being, Haubert replied that he'd shoot him if he attempted to
move. After detectives reviewed the video, the officer was charged with first-degree
and second-degree assault, as well as felony menacing, official oppression,
and official misconduct. It was reported that the disgraced officer’s former partner,
Francine Martinez, who had also been present at the scene but didn't actively participate
in the assault, could face criminal prosecution for failing to intervene or report the incident.

Pennsylvania policeman Mark Icker was working part-time for three
separate law enforcement agencies when he suddenly became engulfed in controversy
related to abuse allegations. His accusers, identified only by the initials SR and RV,
were 22 and 32 respectively when they were reportedly pulled over by Icker on separate
occasions during early December of 2018. In both instances, the victims testified
that the 29-year-old officer falsely accused them of traffic violations before planting
incriminating evidence while searching their cars. Threatening the women with incarceration,
Icker would ask the women "How can you help me help you?" He then allegedly suggested to trade
their release for non-consensual intimate favors. When his perverted misdeeds were
brought to light a few weeks later, Icker was arrested and the authorities requested that any
other potential victims contact the detectives in charge of the case with their testimonies.
Another woman was interviewed and she reportedly accused the officer of handcuffing and fondling
her in the back of his cruiser in Lackawanna County back in June of the same year. The unnamed
victim indicated that she’d decided not to come forward earlier because she’d been afraid that
the police wouldn't believe her. Due to the severity of the charges, Icker's bail was set
at one million dollars, an exorbitant amount that shocked the defendant's lawyer, who unsuccessfully
attempted to appeal the decision. On July the 24th of 2021, Icker pleaded guilty to his crimes,
reducing his resulting prison sentence from 20 to 13 years. Judge Malachy E. Mannion rejected
the original terms of the deal, however, and instead convicted the man to 15 years behind bars.
#1 - Molly Edwards and Richard Paton
An official investigation was launched into the conduct of Sergeant Molly Edwards and
Constable Richard Paton after accusations of inappropriate behavior reached officials at
the police department in Surrey, England. Edwards and Paton, both of whom were married with children
at the time, had allegedly been involved in a romantic affair since July of 2019, and would
often fail to respond to radio calls while on duty together. On the night of September the 29th,
the officers received two call-outs, one in relation to a burglary at a nearby shop and
a second to a serious assault at a hospital merely fifteen minutes away from where their
squad car was parked. Instead of responding to the scenes of the crimes in progress,
however, Paton reportedly said, "Let's just get naked", as was recorded by audio surveillance
devices that had secretly been planted in their vehicle. Transcripts of the ensuing
conversation included references to intimate fantasies as well as a collection of lewd
noises made by the clandestine law enforcement lovers. When confronted with the evidence,
both officers resigned from the force to avoid facing a disciplinary board hearing,
but they reportedly escaped any criminal charges in connection to their negligent behavior.
