Police investigate report of officer posting photo of dead body on Facebook:
Again I have to ask what is it with some first responders and dead bodies?
This time a police officer from New Bedford, Mass. is in hot water for allegedly posting a crime scene photo showing a dead body on her Facebook.
The photo depicts an apparent crime scene. The body is face-down on a couch, next to a coffee table. The floor is cluttered with trash. New Bedford police spokesman Lt. Jeffrey P. Silva said the picture — if it is authentic — may depict an overdose victim. It is unclear whether the person is a man or woman.
Before there was the internet I ran into a lot of first responders, mostly volunteer which is even creepier, that would trade various crime or accident scene photos among themselves.
I just don't get the fascination.

YouTube rappers charged with threatening police, New Bedford probation officer:
Police in New Bedford, Mass. arrested 24-year-old Matthew Rufino and 28-year-old Jason Foley for posting their rap on YouTube that threatened local police and a probation officer which I'm going to assume was one of theirs.
The four-minute video was posted to YouTube on Nov. 1 and has been watched about 2,000 times. Called “WATCH 4 ME,” it includes members of the rap group bragging about making America’s Most Wanted, images of smashed police cars, warnings of violence against police and derogatory statements made about police. Background noises include sirens and gunshots.
Cry free speech all you want but public threats aren't a protected form of speech.
