Officers Who Forced Dozens Of Anal Cavity Searches For Fun Get Off Easy
The intent was to “degrade and humiliate” dozens of victims.
Between February 2010 and February 2012, a small group of Milwaukee officers took part in a string of serial assaults on subjects pulled off the streets. In many cases, the officers demanded the subjects produce the drugs they assumed were being hidden somewhere on their person. When they were not satisfied with the cooperation from the subjects, an officer would jam his hand into the subject’s underpants, touch his genitals, and insert a finger into his anus on the side of the road. Some of the complaints stated that drugs were planted during these searches. At least one complainant was a juvenile, and one stated that he was fingered so hard that his anus bled afterwards.
The group’s ringleader was Milwaukee Officer Michael Vagnini, assisted primarily by three other officers; Jeffrey Dollhopf, Brian Kozelek and Jacob Knight. Although 7 officers and one supervisor were originally suspended, the four officers mentioned above were the men the district attorney felt had enough involvement to pursue legal actions against.
The three other officers received sentences of fines and community service. Vagnini got more, but still got off easy.
As for Officer Michael Vagnini, his record of molesting innocent people, illegal detainment, illegal searches, penetrating orifices for fun, framing people with false evidence and ruining their lives has come to a close. After terrorizing his community for years in a most disgusting and egregious way, he will face just over 2 years behind bars — 26 months.

Gee whiz! Over 8K comments and 5 followers? Do you use Obama math? Let’s see there are 57 states and Repubs filibustered over 500 bills?

Well jinkies, you don’t have any followers (since we’re counting).
Nobama May 13th, 2014 at 9:56 am
No argument there. But you do have 26 times as many comments as I do

And I keep my account private because of trolls such as yourself.
You have a good day.

why respond to the likes of it/that/ whatever ?
Anomaly 100 May 13th, 2014 at 11:57 am
You’re absolutely right. I was bored so I found it tempting at the time. .
Nobama May 13th, 2014 at 12:14 pm
If it wasn’t for me you would fall asleep waiting for comments to moderate based on the lack of activity here. I get the impression I am not well liked here even toning down my comments. The profanity in some of the articles written here are a bit much

fahvel May 13th, 2014 at 11:50 am
simply apply their own night sticks to their culs and then give the stick a fine spin!
Charles Almon May 14th, 2014 at 4:13 am
