A Rhode Island police captain was charged with simple assault Thursday after he was caught on video slamming a man’s face into the street when the man had already been handcuffed and was not resisting.
But Providence Police Captain Stephen Gencarella is insisting he was the victim, claiming he was the one injured in the incident which took place in July.
The 25-year veteran cop has been on “paid injury active-duty status” since the incident collecting his $105,730-a-year salary, according to WPRI. The department has not explained the nature of his injuries.
Meanwhile, the department’s police chief, Colonel Hugh T. Clements Jr., has informed Gencarella that he will be fired for multiple departmental policy violations.

Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy Sean Essex was first arrested on charges of child molestation in 2006 but the district attorney dismissed the case for unstated reasons.
This week, Essex was indicted on on charges of molesting three other girls between the ages of seven and 13, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. And this time, the the district attorney’s office is choosing to prosecute the recent cases as well as the one in 2006 that had been dismissed.
The district attorney’s office did not provide an explanation as to why it did not prosecute Essex in 2006 but we can assume it was the usual Blue Privilege, especially considering it was a time before smartphones and social media allowed the public to hold police accountable for their crimes. As a result, three other girls were molested over a nine-year period beginning in 2013, according to the Los Angeles Times which spoke to the attorney representing the girls.
Essex, 51, was also fired from the sheriff’s department in 2018 for unspecified reasons while working for the department’s Training Bureau where he was responsible for training new recruits but the county’s Civil Service Commission overturned the termination, according to the Times.

The January 2021 issue of Architectural Digest featured a remodeled $42 million San Francisco residence described as a Spanish Renaissance Revival palacio.
Owned by a billionaire’s daughter and her husband, the home is “theatrical” and has “been described, with good reason, as the most beautiful house in America,” the luxury magazine said. Accompanying photos detailed its opulence — mirrored pilasters, walls paneled with white onyx, remarkable views of the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge.
One particularly impressive image showed a two-story central courtyard with several empty pedestals off to one side. The pedestals weren’t actually empty, though: The photo had been altered. Another version, discovered by reporters on the website of the home’s architect, shows ancient Khmer sculptures resting on the same pedestals.
The Cambodian government says those stone relics, depicting the heads of gods and demons, match a set that was looted years ago from one of the nation’s sacred sites. It is not known who modified the photo or for what reason, but experts interviewed for this story confirmed that the sculptures had been edited out of the magazine image.

I suspect that a lot of this tech-house stuff is easy to make. Perhaps process shouldn't be a determining factor in the opinion of a final product, but nevertheless I respond pretty consistently to Kompakt and Force Tracks and especially Perlon releases in part because the tracks just sound more thought-out and laboured over. If anything, they're extremely detailed. Sometimes detail work makes us dance harder, and on rare occasions it can even give a track some unexpectedly human quality: Michelangelo Matos talks about the thread of pessimism that courses through Luomo's Vocalcity, for instance. Whatever gives icy tracks like "Tessio" or Jan Jelinek's "Tendency" such emotional depth, Fruity Loops definitely doesn't have a preset for it-- at least just yet.
Blame the detail work, the drugs, or the greasy long hair in his eyes: Ricardo Villalobos' Thè au Harem d'Archiméde is the sound of paranoia, a ticking bomb that never quite goes off. Nine well-carved tracks fidget violently within a remarkably controlled spectrum of sound. While tech-house in 2004 widened its scope for bigger sounds, trading computers for synths and hard grooves for genre and song structure, Villalobos approaches Thè au Harem with a monkish, almost classical degree of top-down restraint. It seems as if the Chilean-Berliner sticks to only seven or eight percussive sounds throughout the whole album, running them through every possible permutation, milking them till they're miraculously warm and woozy. Villalobos gave us great hooks on 2003's Alcachofa; here he stalks us in a sweaty haze of Amazon rhythm, challenging us to find the hooks ourselves.
Dizzying and sometimes nerve-wracking, Villalobos is hardly a shyster though, hooking up Thè au Harem's hardest working listeners with fantastic payoffs throughout the mix. While the first three tracks flaunt grooves as tightly-wound as Maurizio twelves, Villalobos still finds an unsettling amount of wiggle room for wind-chime strings in "Hireklon", swashbuckling slurps in "Serpentin", and noirish synth accents in "For All Seasons". As the album progresses, tracks become livelier and more unpredictable, each building on the rhythmic developments of the one before. Lush pun-on-title-track "Thèorème d'Archiméde" is the tipping point, thereafter Villalobos insisting on increasingly chaotic routines: "Temenarc 2" spins like a shattered Tiefschwarz record, and follow-up "Temenarc 1" all but bats its way out of an aluminum trash can. By the time the aptly-named "True To Myself" finishes out Thè au Harem, Villalobos has become quite the derelict, offering 14 minutes of weary chants and ghostly yelps. Think Dani Siciliano in Downtown 81 drag, chasing us through the jungle.
