Double Secret Probation 3

---

We know Double Secret Probation 3 should not come before Double Secret Probation 2 but here we are.  This investigation will show you what happened to an officer who used a reasonable amount of force on an arrestee who decided he was not under arrest.  You will see what happened to this officer's career and how the justifications for the actions of the command staff...evolved.  After being placed on imposed leave less than a month before Christmas, after being disarmed in his home in front of his wife and kids, after being reassigned to the academy, removed from his special assignment and being advised he was a suspect in an aggravated assault, he still found himself on the Pima County Attorneys Office 15.1 List (aka: the Brady List) "temporarily"...because of an "administrative error."  We will show everything.  

We will also show 2 other examples of officers who used a similar level of force and how they were treated appropriately as you would expect for officers doing their job.  

Let's start with the 2 other case reports regarding Tucson Police Officers who used reasonable force to arrest suspects.  One incident, 1711190050, occurred exactly 10 days before the incident involving Officer Voss.  The second incident, 2012040229, occurred about 3 years later.  The reason we included these reports in this investigation is because the suspects in these incidents fought with officers and resisted arrest.  The suspects were struck by an officer, and each suffered a broken orbital.  

Sometimes, we at Tucson's Corrupt Leadership.com redact some names and other information from our public record requests.  We decided not to redact anything from these reports for a couple of reasons.  First, we tip our hat to all of the officers involved in both of these incidents.  We won't be redacting the names of anyone for doing solid police work.  Secondly, the guys who had their orbitals broken played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.  We feel they should embrace their stupidity.  

Ultimately, this may need to be considered by the Tucson Police Department Executive Leadership Team and their enforcement arm, the Office of "Professional" Standards.  Police work is a dangerous job.  Sometimes, when officers get into fights and use force, people can, and often do, get hurt.  Remember, cops do what they do because the bad guy did what they did.  In short, when a bad guy plays a game of screw around and find out, they shouldn't be surprised when they go through some growing pains.  Maybe the ELT and the Rat Squad should disregard the "optics" of an incident and instead focus on what actually happened (See "Team 4's In Custody Death" on this site).

Here are the photos that were taken from Tucson Police Department Crime Scene Techs and an Operations Division East Patrol Officer.
