12 Strikes and You're Out

Edison, New Jersey, police officer Michael Dotro has been charged with five counts of attempted murder after allegedly setting fire to his captain's home while the man and his family slept inside. Dotro was reportedly upset after being ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation after receiving his 11th excessive force complaint in the past decade. Dotro, who has at least 16 total complaints against him, has also been accused of harassing a police department clerk and was reportedly one of the prime suspects in the theft of a police car in 2008.
