WTTG TV, Washington DC:
Three police officers arrived at a Manassas, VA backyard baptism party following a noise complaint. While his back was turned retrieving the indentification requested by the officers, a 55-year old grandfather was tasered three times and arrested for "public intoxication" on private property. A pregnant woman who attempted to help him while he was on the ground was also tasered and arrested for "assaulting a police officer".

San Francisco Chronicle: Three baggage handlers convicted in thefts
SAN MATEO -- Three baggage handlers at San Francisco International Airport have been convicted of stealing from luggage during an undercover sting that was launched in the wake of the theft of a retired police sergeant's gun, authorities said today.
Andrew Balamiento, 28; John Emil Victoria, 21; and Tauailapalapa Laulu, 27, each pleaded no contest to embezzlement for stealing from passenger luggage while working for Servisair, a ground handling company that serviced Delta Airlines.
The case began in September when a retired San Francisco police sergeant checked his custom-made handgun with his luggage for a Delta flight. The weapon disappeared after check-in and was the latest in a spate of thefts from luggage, said Steve Wagstaffe, San Mateo County's chief deputy district attorney.
The other reason is to highlight a law enforcement win as local law enforcement has picked up the ball the TSA has dropped.
