Officer put semi-nude women under fake arrest in Insta video. He could be in real trouble.
BY MARTIN VASSOLO AND CHARLES RABIN, Miami Herald



Videos featuring a Miami Beach cop staging a fake arrest with three nearly naked models in front of Miami Beach police headquarters went viral overnight in the social media world.

But officer William Beeker’s cameo in the racy clips is not playing well with top city leaders and the police department’s top brass.
In the videos, already viewed more than 1.6 million times by Monday night on on the three models’ Instagram accounts, Beeker marches the handcuffed women up headquarters steps and is then playfully thanked for not booking them after they had been handcuffed.

Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy Morales issued a statement Tuesday calling the incident “disgusting.”These videos are highly offensive,” Morales said. “It is disgusting that a representative of the Miami Beach Police Department, and the City as a whole, would choose to participate in this distasteful video.”

Beeker, an 11-year veteran of the force, was placed on administrative duty Monday and suspended Tuesday by Police Chief Richard Clements as the department’s Internal Affairs unit investigates how the officer became involved in a Playboy model’s Instagram video.

Beeker then speeds away on an off-road police vehicle. The videos were posted online Monday, and Beeker’s bosses found out soon after.

Miami Beach Commissioner John Elizabeth Alemán issued a statement on Facebook Monday calling them “absolutely offensive.”

“I cannot believe an officer of our force would engage in something like this,” she wrote on Facebook. “With as many challenges as we face as a community, how dare he? It’s a mockery of all of our public servants who strive to protect and bring dignity to our city. I’m saddened and angryThe video brought unwanted attention to a police department that has spent a decade trying to clean up its image after a series of embarrassing high-profile controversies that gained worldwide attention.

One of those controversies also involved a cop riding an ATV without authorization. It was just before sunrise in June 2011 when Miami Beach police officer Derick Kuilan and a partner showed up at the Clevelander Hotel in South Beach. After mingling with a group of women celebrating an upcoming wedding, Kulian offered the bride-to-be a ride on the beach on his ATV.A few blocks from the Clevelander and near the water, the ATV struck a couple who had just come out of the water. Both suffered broken legs and required several surgeries. Kulian’s blood-alcohol level was found to be above the legal limit and he was charged with two counts of driving under the influence, two counts of reckless driving and causing serious bodily harm.

At trial the women celebrating the bachelorette party said they they thought the officers were strippers sent to spice up the party.Kulian was convicted of two counts of reckless driving with serious bodily injury, lost his job and was sentenced to 18 months in prison and 18 months house arrest.

The ATV scandal came during a tumultuous time for Miami Beach police. Five weeks before Kulian struck the beachgoers during Memorial Day Weekend, several officers from several departments fired more than 100 rounds into a slow-moving vehicle on Collins Avenue that police deemed a threat. Its driver Raymond Herisse did not surviveFor the past few years and with the exception of a series of brawls captured on cellphone video during this past Memorial Day Weekend, Miami Beach has managed to avoid controversy.

Clements was inducted as the city’s new police chief on July 1

The Trojan Women (Ancient Greek: Τρῳάδες, romanized: Trōiades)

Image
The Trojan Women (Ancient Greek: Τρῳάδες, romanized: Trōiades), also translated as The Women of Troy, and also known by its  transliterated Greek title Troades, is a tragedy by the Greek playwright Euripides. Produced in 415 BC during the Peloponnesian War, it is often considered a commentary on the capture of the Aegean island of Melos and the subsequent slaughter and subjugation of its populace by the Athenians earlier that year (see History of Milos).[1] 415 BC was also the year of the scandalous desecration of the hermai and the launch of the Athenians' second expedition to Sicily, events which may also have influenced the author. The Trojan Women was the third tragedy of a trilogy dealing with the Trojan War. The first tragedy, Alexandros, was about the recognition of the Trojan prince Paris who had been abandoned in infancy by his parents and rediscovered in adulthood. The second tragedy, Palamedes, dealt with Greek mistreatment of their fellow Greek Palamedes. This trilogy w...

The Weirdest Marriage in the World was in the 80's. Started when Swiss Corina Hoffman visited Kenya. Hofmann and her boyfriend Marco made a trip to Kenya. There, she met a Samburu wàrrior named Lketinga Leparmorijo and instantly found him irresistible. She left Marco, went back to Switzerland to sell her possessions, and, in 1987, returned to Kenya, determined to find Lketinga, which she eventually did. The couple moved in together, married, and had a daughter. Hofmann moved into her mother-in-law's manyatta (compound) and learned to live as a Samburu woman, fetching wood and water. She opened a small shop in the village, to sell basic goods. Hofmann suffered several hàrdships, including disèases (mainly malaria) and marital problems. Increasingly paranoid jealousy from her husband, possibly a side effect of his addiĉtion to the d.rug khat (miraa), severely dàmaged her relationship, and in 1990 she decided to return to Switzerland for good, taking her daughter with her. Later o...

Technology of war in 1914

Image
Technology of war in 1914 The planning and conduct of war in 1914 were crucially influenced by the invention of new weapons and the improvement of existing types since the Franco-German War of 1870–71. The chief developments of the intervening period had been the machine gun and the rapid-fire field artillery gun. The modern machine gun,  which had been developed in the 1880s and ’90s, was a reliable belt-fed gun capable of sustained rates of extremely rapid fire; it could fire 600 bullets per minute with a range of more than 1,000 yards (900 metres). In the realm of field artillery, the period leading up to the war saw the introduction of improved breech-loading mechanisms and brakes. Without a brake or recoil mechanism, a gun lurched out of position during firing and had to be re-aimed after each round. The new improvements were epitomized in the French 75-millimetre field gun; it remained motionless during firing, and it was not necessary to readjust the aim in order to bring su...
