Officer Keith Edmonds – Pittsburgh Bureau of Police

Written by CBKN76

In October 2021, Officer Edmonds used a Taser multiple times on Jim Rogers during an arrest in Bloomfield. Rogers died the following day. Edmonds was fired in March 2022 for violating policies on search, handling prisoners, and use of force. An arbitrator ruled in his favor, but the city appealed to the Court of Common Pleas. Judge Hertzberg reversed the arbitrator’s decision, upholding Edmonds’ termination. The Fraternal Order of Police has appealed to the Commonwealth Court.

Our Mission

We're building a comprehensive database of police interactions to promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement.

Important Community Guidelines

It is strictly against our rules to:

  • Make threats of any kind
  • Share private information such as personal emails, home addresses, or phone numbers

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
