 | It's a sad time to be a good cop. No matter what a good cop does, a bad cop shows up. Case in point are the Chicago cops that made themselves at home in Congressman Bobby Rush’s burglarized campaign office in a South Side strip mall that was being looted. 13 Chicago police officers — including three supervisors — slept on a couch, munched popcorn, drank coffee and chit chatted about their taxpayer funded awesomeness while looters ransacked the strip mall. “You know who you are. You know what you did. Don’t make us come find you,” the mayor said, during a news conference. |
 | The doctrine of entrapment is the concept that cops should not randomly test people’s virtue, and that the state ought not manipulate people for the purpose of gaining convictions.

He pleaded guilty to trafficking in cocaine. |
 | The Kelowna chapter of the Hells Angels was started in June 2007 by seven East End members, lead by Damiano Dipopolo. This expansion was financed, in part, by the Decotiss clan, Vancouver real estate developers. In its suit against the Hells Angels, the state identified 14 who have been members of the Kelowna chapter at some time, and said there are nine current members, including one member who's “in the box” – or suspended – due to drug addiction. At the time of the trial the chapter had two “hangarounds” and one prospect. |

“The 'sheer number of convictions' that have been entered into evidence conclusively prove that many members and associates of the East End, Kelowna and Nanaimo chapters of the Hells Angels have committed serious criminal offences,” Justice Davies wrote.
“That 'sheer number of convictions' does not, however, prove that any of the offending was done at the direction of or for the benefit of any of those chapters or the Hells Angels as an organization." The judge noted the HA has a reputation for violence that is "at times used by members for the purposes of intimidation." |

 | After an eight-year legal battle, B.C.'s civil forfeiture office has failed in seizing the Kelowna Hells Angels clubhouse. The office sought to seize Hells Angel clubhouses in Kelowna, Vancouver and Nanaimo. The clubhouse in Kelowna has been on the RCMP’s radar for years. |  The clubhouse at 871 Ellis Street has been a target of the civil forfeiture office since 2012 with proceedings against registered owner Richard Goldammer. |
 |
In 2012, police conducted a large cocaine smuggling investigation, resulting in the incarceration of the club’s vice president David Giles, who later died in prison. Long time Kelowna chapter president is Damiano Dipopolo |  |
 The Hells Angels clubhouse in Nanaimo was seized in 2007. | The judge said the state had not provided enough evidence that the Hells Angels were an international criminal network. He also struck down part of the Civil Forfeiture Act that allows for property to be seized based on its possible future use for unlawful activity, saying the provision fell outside of provincial jurisdiction. |  East End Hells Angels clubhouse at 3598 East Georgia Street |

 | A NZ man who thought he was Hitler's grandson as he went on a rampage will remain behind bars as he gets psychological treatment. For two days in 2010, Te Rangi Jamie Charles Marshall,'Trangmar', went wild, firing shots into the roof of a bar and threatening residents with a sawn-off shotgun leaving several people injured. He's too dangerous to be released says the parole board. |  Trangmar faced 17 charges, including aggravated robbery, kidnapping, assault, injuring with intent, threatening to kill and wilful damage. |
 | Trangmar thought he was an SAS member and a trained assassin who could communicate through a microchip in his head - in particular with birds and crickets. Marshall's history on the outside isn't great. On his last release on Dec 4, 2019 he suffered a rapid decline which saw him recalled to jail five days later.  |
