Meet the deadliest cop in Florida

July 4th, 2009 · 4 Comments

By Carlos Miller
His name is Juan E. Mendez and he has killed four people in his 25-year career, wounded a few others and was even jailed for a night on felony charges back in the 1990s.

But has been able to maintain a prosperous career at the Miami Police Department.

In 2002, he was named the Deadliest Cop in Florida. And it appears he still maintains that title although I am going to have to do some more research to confirm that.

Either way, he has cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands in settlements. Check out the story on NBCMiami.

    I wonder if he paints miniature people on the fender of his police car?

    actually Sherwood Griscom, a Miami Beach cop, killed 4 ppl before retring in 1986.

    But these killings remind me of the movie True Lies, when Jamie Lee Curtis asks her husband, “You mean you killed people?”

    Arnold answers: “Yeah, but they were all bad.”
