And not losing their jobs.
You've probably all heard about Jeffrey Dahmer
One of his victims was 14-year-old Lao teenager Konerak Sinthasomphone
Now here's a funny story about how he died.
Jeffrey took him to his apartment for some photos, drugged him fuck-out-of-his-mind, fucked his ass bleeding, beat him up, drilled a hole in his skull with some hardware equipment, poured acid into his skull and brain, and left him in his apartment for dead to get a drink before he'd have his usual necrophilia fun.
Turns out Konerak was not dead. He was alive.
Through some miracle, he managed to escape in his fucked-up state, with a hole on his forehead, beaten up, drugged, with literal acid in his brain, outside of the apartment in the hands of these women who are fucked out of their mind horrified at the scenery, so they call police. Saved!
So the police show up, right? Enter John Balcerzak and Joseph Gabrish:
So what happens? They chat with the distressed ladies, who are fucked out of their minds worried, and Jeffrey Dahmer, the local psychopath who has been receiving complaints about the smell of the decomposing bodies in his apartment and has a conviction for sexually molesting a teenage boy arrives. The ladies keep telling the officers something's wrong and that the boy is bleeding, but Dahmer has another story, he says they're gay lovers and that his boyfriend who is 19, or maybe 20, who's to say, just got drunk and they had a dispute. So the police figure they'd rather believe the psychopath and escort him back to Jeffrey the cannibal's house.
So they bring them there, don't check the boy's ID with a literal hole in his head, who is quite obviously underaged, and don't give a shit about Jeffrey's criminal record. They do a "routine" checkout of the apartment, with such thoroughness that they did not to notice that there's literally another body decomposing next to Jeffrey's bed, and then they wish him well in his gay love, ignore the six calls they get from the ladies who insist they left an endangered boy behind, saying the situation's been handled, and crack some jokes with their police buddies about reuniting homosexual lovers. While these calls are happening, Jeff is enjoying drilling another hole into the boy's skull and filling it full of acid, saws off the boy's body parts, rapes the dead body some more, and prepares it for dinner the next day. The end.
Now you'd think that this would be a pretty big fuck-up story about what can go wrong in the police force. But no.
After some media fury, they had to leave the force with payment and later being foired, but then were reinstated a few years later because the Reserve Judge Robert Parins found that it was too harsh of a punishment, so he back-paid them 55k USD for the salary they lost, ignored the Fire and Police Commission majority vote to appeal, and then Balcerzak was voted the president of the Milwaukee Police Association, for his contributions.
Lol.
