July 9, 2014 4:12PM # Police Misconduct — The Worst Case in June By [Tim Lynch](https://www.cato.org/people/tim-lynch) --- SHARE Over at Cato’s [Police Misconduct web site](http://www.policemisconduct.net/), we have identified the worst case for the month of June. Police officer Ronald Harris tried to rob a woman at the Memphis International Airport. This was an extraordinary theft. Harris was trying to steal a bag from an employee of St. Jude Children’s Hospital who was, in turn, delivering the bag to a family. The bag was a gift from the Make-A-Wish Foundation—the organization that grants wishes to terminally ill children. The bag held several St. Jude t‑shirts and a $1500 credit card for the family to use for travel. Harris followed the St. Jude employee into the airport and then struck a member of the family who tried to stop him from stealing their wish away. Harris has been suspended pending an investigation and faces a long list of charges. Police misconduct is never good, but plotting to steal the wish from a terminally ill child and their family is just really low.
