Man to be sentenced for attacking officers with hatchet outside police station
A man with a grudge against authority, who attacked officers outside a South Wales police station armed with a Molotov cocktail, a knife and a hatchet, will be sentenced on Friday. Alexander Dighton, 28, attacked three police officers at Talbot Green police station in Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales, on January 31, stabbing one in the leg and knocking another unconscious. He previously pleaded guilty to 10 charges relating to the incident at a hearing before the Old Bailey in March. Dighton, of Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf, arrived at the police station shortly before 7pm, where he lit a petrol bomb and threw it at a police van. When that failed to ignite, he attempted to start a fire by pouring lighter fluid over the van before smashing the windows of two vehicles using a pole. When confronted by officers, Dighton said: 'I'm fed up, I'm done,' before launching his attack. Attempts to restrain him using a Taser were unsuccessful because of the body armour he was wearing. He swung a pole at one officer, punched one in the head and stabbed another in the thigh, narrowly missing his femoral artery. Two of the three injured officers were taken to hospital for treatment. On being arrested, Dighton said: 'I have been damned from birth.' He went on to admit his actions, saying he was motivated by an anti-government ideology but denied intending to kill a police officer. The defendant declined legal representation, despite being told the maximum sentence for some of the charges was life in prison. He told Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb: 'Authority is not my problem. It's the use of authority which to me is the problem, the use of authority I have seen since I was 15, that's my problem.' The senior judge asked him again if he would like to delay the case so he could take legal advice. The defendant replied: 'That will be all right, thank you. I perfectly understand it.' He admitted the attempted murder of Detective Constable Jack Cotton, attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent to Sergeant Richard Coleman, assaulting Pc Joshua Emlyn and threatening Pc Stephanie Fleming with an adapted wooden pole. He also pleaded guilty to the attempted arson of a police van, two counts of damaging police property and having an adapted wooden pole, a knife and a hatchet. Dighton was remanded into custody.

In L.A., the Divide Between Peace and Violence Is in the Eye of the Beholder
Alfonso Santoyo was marching through the streets of Los Angeles with a boisterous crowd on Wednesday protesting the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Mr. Santoyo's presence, and his voice, were his only weapons. 'It's upsetting how they've portrayed the community as criminals,' said Mr. Santoyo, a 43-year-old postal worker whose parents came to the U.S. from Mexico as undocumented immigrants but eventually gained legal status. 'It's just upsetting to see that. Because we know it's not the case.' After an 8 p.m. curfew brought a ghostly quiet to much of downtown, a man in body armor stood in front of a building full of jewelry stores, smoking a cigarette down to the filter. The man, who declined to give his name, wore a handgun on his thigh and carried a rifle that fires plastic projectiles. He pointed to nearby stores and buildings in L.A.'s jewelry district that had been broken into days earlier. Much like the 2020 demonstrations against police violence, he said, there always seemed to be bad actors among the peaceful ones. Separating them out, he said, was pointless. He cited an Armenian proverb: 'Wet wood and dry wood burn together.' In Los Angeles this week, many protesters have marched peacefully. Others have thrown objects at the police, set cars ablaze and looted stores and restaurants. Police have responded aggressively, intimidating protesters with earsplitting explosives and mounted patrols, hitting them with batons, deploying tear gas and firing foam projectiles and rubber bullets into crowds.

Former Michigan police officer accused of using police database to get women's phone numbers
A former Upper Peninsula police officer accused of accessing women's personal contact information through a police database is facing several charges. Chad Olson, 43, of Vulcan, was arraigned Wednesday on two counts of misconduct in office, one count of purchasing a pistol without a license and one count of providing a false statement on a pistol sales record, according to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office. Officials allege that Olson, who was an officer with the Norway Police Department until Dec. 20, 2024, used police databases to access the personal information of women. The attorney general's office accuses Olson of using that information to "flirt and curry favor with the women." Prosecutors say Olson also allegedly had at least one sexual encounter with a woman while he was on duty in the police station. After resigning from the police department, officials say, Olson illegally purchased a pistol without a license by using his Michigan law enforcement certification number. "We expect law enforcement officers who take an oath to protect and serve our communities to do so with integrity," said Nessel in a statement. "I commend the investigative efforts of the Dickinson County Sheriff's Department and the Michigan State Police and remain committed to ensuring those who commit such serious dereliction of duty are held accountable." Olson is due back in court on June 26.
