The actions depicted in the photos involving Mesa Police Officer Shawn Freeman feeding a baby beer from a clearly marked beer bottle multiple times are concerning and inappropriate. Such behavior goes against the professional standards expected of law enforcement officers and raises serious ethical and legal questions. It is important for law enforcement officials to uphold the highest level of integrity and responsibility in their actions, especially when it comes to the well-being of vulnerable individuals such as children.

Officer Freeman's history of misconduct, including the disturbing act of feeding a baby beer, was reported to Mesa Police Chief Ken Cost over a year ago, but no disciplinary action was taken, suggesting a lack of accountability within the department.

Officer Freeman's extensive history of misconduct and criminal activity has been well-documented, yet Mesa Police Chief Ken Cost chose to ignore it, leading to the emergence of new allegations. These new allegations against Officer Freeman include him filing falsified police reports, committing perjury, receiving use-of-force complaints, and the fatal shooting of an unarmed man. If Chief Cost had taken appropriate action and disciplined or terminated Officer Freeman when evidence of misconduct and illegal behavior was first presented, these new allegations could have been prevented.

The Mesa Police Department's apparent double standard, where rules seem to only apply to the public and not to their own officers, is deeply concerning. It is imperative that Maricopa County District Attorney Rachel Mitchell, Mesa Mayor John Giles, Mesa Police Chief Ken Cost, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, and all other relevant authorities in Arizona take decisive action to end their support of police misconduct. It is crucial that officers are held accountable under the law, just like any other individual, and that the existence of a double standard in this regard is unacceptable.

The case of Officer Freeman abusing his authority without facing consequences highlights the urgent need for increased oversight and transparency within the Mesa Police Department. It is essential that law enforcement officers are held to the same standards as any other citizen, and that they are not above the law.
