You're good. Get out of the station. >> GET OUT OF THE STATION. >> THIS IS BODY camera video of Moore from an unrelated incident inside the East Cleveland Police Station last summer. In it, she uses a number of slurs against a co-worker before he finally walks away from the confrontation. >> Another East Cleveland police officer has been indicted. This time, it's Corporal LaTasha Moore. According to prosecutors, Moore faces 15 criminal counts, including multiple felonies, allegations ranging from tampering with records, interfering with civil rights, assault, and misuse of police computer systems. The charges stem from incidents that allegedly occurred while Moore was on duty. She resigned shortly after the indictment. City leaders say this case represents another opportunity to move forward. The mayor says there's no place in East Cleveland government for this kind of behavior, and the police chief says the department is ready for a fresh start. But this indictment doesn't stand alone. It adds to a growing number of criminal cases involving East Cleveland police officers, a number that now spans years, administrations, and leadership promises. Thin blue lies, baby. Since August of 2022, more than 20 current or former East Cleveland police officers have been indicted. That number includes officers accused of assault, civil rights violations, tampering with evidence, and falsifying records. In some cases, prosecutors say body camera footage captured officers beating or kicking people already under control. In others, officers allegedly destroyed or altered evidence after the fact. Several former officers have already been convicted and sentenced to prison. And the issues haven't been limited to the police department. Former city officials, including a past mayor and council members, have also faced criminal charges tied to corruption and misuse of public office. Despite multiple leadership changes, the indictments have continued. Tonight, another East Cleveland police officer is off the job facing felony charges, and once again, it deals with what prosecutors say happened while on duty serving the public. News 5 investigator Scott Knowles been detailing issues inside East Cleveland government for years. Here now with the latest allegations and what city leaders have to have to say about it. Yeah, Rob. Today's indictment brings the number of past and current East Cleveland cops charged with crimes to 21. That's in just over 3 years, and it doesn't include the former mayor, councilman, and chief of staff. They were all found guilty of crimes in office, as well. The latest East Cleveland police officer facing legal problems is former Corporal Latasha Moore, the 38-year-old indicted on 15 counts, including nine felonies from three different incidents dating back to January 2024. That's when investigators say Moore lied, claiming a fleeing driver ran over her feet and hit her with a car door, even filed court documents and workers compensation reports with the claims. But prosecutors say body camera video contradicted it all. Then, a year later, Moore charged with using East Cleveland's computer system and cameras to track and find someone she had a personal relationship with. Then, last September, investigators say Moore again lied, this time claiming a woman spit on her during an arrest. They say the officer then assaulted the handcuffed woman in the back of a police car. East Cleveland's police chief says he had no idea. I was shocked and disappointed. She never presented herself to me personally or professionally as this type of person. I I thought she was a good cop. So, just to be clear, an officer now facing 15 criminal charges, including civil rights violations and record tampering was, until the indictment, considered a good cop. According to the chief, the conduct alleged by prosecutors was completely unexpected. Which is impressive, because this department has already produced more than 20 indictments. Yet somehow, every time, leadership is stunned. Every time, they had no idea. Every time, the officer was good. And every time, the charges say otherwise. At this point, surprise isn't an explanation. It's part of the pattern. You done Get out of the station. GET OUT OF THE STATION. THIS IS BODY CAMERA video of Moore from an unrelated incident inside the East Cleveland police station last summer. In it, she uses a number of slurs against a co-worker before he finally walks away from the confrontation. The police chief says Moore resigned effective immediately Thursday. Mayor Sandra Morgan, who took office last month, promising to root out problem employees. We have no room for that kind of behavior in the city of East Cleveland, for our police force, or for anyone else, as a matter of fact. >> echoed by the police chief. He's been with the department 30 years, the last 7 months in charge of it. His message to a public wondering if they can trust his officers. I feel that the dark cloud of what happened over the previous years is gone. So, with now a new administration, and the way that we handle it, the mayor and I, we're not going to allow that to happen again. Do you believe there's been a lack of discipline in other administrations? I don't want to judge. I want to start fresh. The past is the past. Let's Let's new beginning, better days. Here's the problem, chief. You don't clean up a department after federal prosecutors step in. You don't discover systemic misconduct 21 indictments later. And you don't rebuild public trust with press conferences. You rebuild it by stopping the behavior before it becomes criminal. What's happening in East Cleveland isn't a bad apple problem. It's a pattern of practice problem. Because indictments don't come from internal accountability. They come when outside authorities finally intervene. If officers can falsify reports, abuse computer systems, and assault citizens repeatedly without early intervention, that points to failures in training, supervision, discipline, and leadership oversight. When misconduct only stops after indictments, it means the system didn't correct itself. It had to be corrected from the outside. That's not reform. That's damage control. East Cleveland residents deserve more than promises. They deserve a police department that protects rights before prosecutors have to. And this case raises a bigger question, not just for East Cleveland, but for every city watching. How many indictments does it take before reform becomes real? Because when accountability only happens after arrests and charges, it isn't leadership. It's reaction. Thin blue lies, baby. Hey, if you're still here, that tells me two things.
