St. Louis County, MO — Highlighting the pervasive issue of police abuse, a North County Police Cooperative (NCPC) officer in St. Louis County, recently found himself on the receiving end of criminal charges. The charges came after a shocking revelation — this officer allegedly allowed his own brother to sadistically torture a handcuffed man, flagrantly abusing his authority in the process.

The officer in question, Cpl. James Sims has since been dismissed from his post at the NCPC, following an intensive probe into his blatantly criminal conduct. He now faces a string of charges, including first-degree assault, third-degree assault, and fourth-degree assault.

The story unfolded back in November 2022, when Sims, then acting as a supervisor in Dellwood, received a call from his brother seeking assistance amid a fight in Pine Lawn. Abandoning his assigned zone without authorization — a clear violation of protocol — Sims arrived at the scene, sidestepping the requirement to notify dispatch and conveniently failing to activate his body camera.

Upon his arrival, Sims took the law into his own hands, handcuffing the victim and allowing his brother to pummel the defenseless man. The arriving officers discovered a scene of brutal "street justice": a handcuffed victim, beaten and bloodied, allowed to leave the scene without any proper procedure or interview by other officers...........more........
