IWA for Sunday January 28, 2007









Hey folks,

It’s Sunday, time for the IWA. This weeks winner is too stupid to be a cop. Yup a cop. Don’t you just hate stupid cops. The good news is, he is not a cop any longer. I do have a question though. According to ABC- Fla. Teen Gets $35G in Topless Lawsuit.

PENSACOLA, Fla. Jan 27, 2007 (AP)— A teenager who sued the city after claiming a police officer forced her to do jumping jacks while topless has reached a $35,000 settlement, officials said.

The City Council unanimously approved the settlement Thursday, City Manager Tom Bonfield said.

Officer Shawn Patrick Shields found the girl, then 16, and a 19-year-old man together in a parked car in April 2003. Shields ordered the two teens out of the car, then told them he could arrest them for lewd and lascivious behavior, authorities said.

The girl told investigators that Shields told her to perform five topless jumping jacks, which she said she did as he shone his flashlight on her.

Now according to this article, Patrick Shields was fired and is under investigation for extortion. My question is why not charge this moron with sex offenses? Contributing to the delinquency of a minor? This girl was 16 years old. He made her, out of fear, show off her boobs to him. Topless jumping jacks? What else has this guy done?

Not only am I glad this girl got the money, he was fired, and facing extortion charges, but I truly believe this guy should be locked up, and investigated for other sex offences.

Congratulations EX-Officer Shields, you are the Idiot of the Week. As well you should be inmate of the week, but that is not up to me.
