- WPTV has learned a Fort Pierce police officer has been placed on administrative leave after he hit a child on a bicycle with his patrol vehicle, never reported it and then lied about it, police say.
When an officer of the law lies one time hes no longer believable in court he needs to be fired He's useless to the people of Saint Lucy county.
Throw out every case he has talked in court on.
I totally agree
@Patrick-yh5yd That could be many but who's to say when he lied or not so I totally agree. Which is very sad because how many guilty people would get off now because He is a proven liar. Then again how many innocent people were found guilty by a lie he said.
It would shock you how many people have been convicted on a known liars word
I'm not a saint and I have lied but I don't continually lie like my attackers.
If he's willing to lie about hitting a child... Imagine what has happened with other reports or arrest that officer made...
Exactly. His credibility is worthless now that he lied.
he said he didnt remember which protects him, but its not the same as saying it didnt happen. prolly was the kids fault anyways lets be honest
If he wasn’t caught and held accountable, he might have or develop a streak of hurting people, thinking he could get away with it.
@@asdsdfbhgbggtrrerg According to the law, motorists are always at fault when a bicycle is involved, same with kids. You learn to drive expecting to need to respond to children in the road.
@@asdsdfbhgbggtrrerg What was that, officer?
A proven liar! Exactly what the dept is looking for!
Truer words have never been said, that and a mentally unstable person with a tendency towards violence, These three qualities are what make for a terrific police officer!!
Promotion at another department is in the works.
Why would they be looking for people who have been proven to be liars? Wouldnt they want someone who doesnt get caught?
@@Shreddittrading 🤔
Wrong… The department needs convictions to justify their budget… If he’s on the Brady list, they can’t get convictions
Since he was placed on leave and not arrested, get rid of the mayor and police chief
And the prosecutor for not charging him with a hit and run of a minor. If it was any one of us we would be locked up
not so fast, he likely will be charged and lose his job.
Exactly!!! Mayor Hudson sons a known meth head, has ties to criminal activity and hangs out with a known serial killer.
We investigated ourselves and we found no wrong doing
I agree vote them out
What a police officer lying no way
First time in recorded history
@@BackwoodsFilms Hahahahahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You know what's funny. Chances are if he told the truth, and did everything right, this wouldn't have made the news, nor would he be in deep trouble.
@@imathreat209 What's the opposite of "The truth shall set you free!"
"Public servant on duty breaking the law shall not go free"
*DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE WE GO*
@@imathreat209 deep trouble lol yeh sounds like he's in real deep trouble. You'd be in jail already pending an investigation
What is there to investigate? He lied repeatedly about being involved in the incident, until he realized he was on camera in close enough proximity that he couldn’t lie anymore. That should be immediate termination for a cop, not administrative leave, or whatever. His word now has zero value in court, and he can be used to discredit any case he’s involved in.
That’s felony hit and run on a child!
No way if your the law.
@thaimassage23 hence why the man hit and run the kid. No way if your the law.....
It’s not a hit and run if you stop to check on the person…
@@chasingmillions5253 It absolutely is. Fleeing the scene of an accident before authorities and medical personnel arrive makes it text-book hit and run.
@@chasingmillions5253 he fled and then lied about it
The kid is lucky that the officer didn't charge him with a crime.
The kid was probably white.
Assault on a police officers vehicle
Yea , causing the accident and adding few of those classic "resisting officer" and "disorderly conduct" to make the kid shut up about whole incident
They could still do that....."obstructing traffic", "interfering with police duties", .......
@@badcholesterol damaging public property, endangering the life of an officer, littering (his own blood)...
ACAB
Sad thing is if cameras didn't exist, they would have taken the officer's word without a question.
And unfortunately, so do most judges.
That because LEO rarely lie if ever and they especially don’t lie in court or to the public.
@@chadmarino2741 absolute bottom tier bait
@@chadmarino2741 it's so common that a new word was created: testilie. Yup, it's a combination of testify and lie. You're welcome😉
@@chadmarino2741 😂 I love a good sarcastic statement in the morning!!
Every person who ever had this officers testimony used against them in court needs to file for retrial.
Lying about hitting someone even if it wasn't his fault is the biggest problem with this officer.
Right. It proves he'll lie whenever things aren't going his way. I guarantee he's lied in court and this will put every case he's testified for in question.
If the officer is willing to lie about that, most likely he has a long history of lying. I want to know how many complaints he has had filed on him. Isn't this a hit and run, why is he not under arrest!
He's a cop. Cops don't arrest other cops. Different laws apply depending how useful you are in the establishment.
Excellent question.
@@aaaaaaaaaa359 cops ALMOST never arrest other cops. If they do the judges usually don't convict. If the judge does convict them then they get lessened sentences and preferred treatment.
Blue line is strong. Administrative leave means paid vacation. Nothing serious will happen to him, and if something does his union will get him back pay and his job back later.
Calm down citizen. You’ve just found out that Police officers are human beings and as human beings people do stupid things. He will be fired. The kid was not injured. That officer was most likely not in his assigned patrol area when this happened so he will be fired.
Funny. If I did that, I would be in jail.
"Rules for thee, not for me."
Me too.
EXACTLY.
"We take incidents like this quite seriously and this officer will be awarded the customary paid vacation."
Plus promotion and raise.
And given a raise and promotion when he comes back from his holiday
This supposidly wanna be a good cop...it aint gonna happen...dont E V E R T R U S T A L I A R....
No, the evil Satanic police will investigate themselves fine, no wrong doing that’s standard procedure then they’ll charge the person. They violated with a crime that standard procedure too
Baaahahahahaaa and we will investigate ourselves and we are sure we will intimidate witnesses, destroy videos, tamper with evidence and if the community is mad we will troll those who apose the BLUE LINE GANGSTERS WITH QUALIFY IMMUNITY
Every conviction involving this officer should be checked for criminality on his part. Right after he is FIRED!
They will investigate themselves and find no wrong doing and the officer will get a raise and a promotion.
If an officer can't even be honest when questioned, you know we got a problem.
I have made the same assessment of minorities
@@mr.horrorchild4094 It's most likely the same reason people have made the same assessment of you.

@Mr. Horrorchild what the f*** does a minority have to do with a Pig
Why wasn't he arrested for hit-and-run anyone else would be?? These the type of instances are what make people not trust the police department.
not sufficient evidence
The police never lie.
Qualified Immunity
Because it wasn’t a hit and run. We have to hold police accountable, not expect them to be flawless. Nobody wants to do this job anymore. The public ultimately suffers. The police that are replacing the officers that are leaving and being chased off are even less qualified due to a smaller pool of candidates. Just like we did with teachers. Keep shitting on those who serve you. See what happens. This is a voluntary job.
@@drtec6349 They showed evidence against him and he confessed.
He lied twice about it… this shows his integrity.
Resisting arrest with physical violence, failure to ID, possession of meth. The kid was lucky the cop went so easy on him.
The lack of accountability from law enforcement in this country is disgusting
Don't paint every police officer with the same brush. That's what low intellect Liberals do. Every profession has good employees and bad employees and when the bad are found out, they need to be removed.
Oh, please. Don't slide down the slippery slope. That's ridiculous.
@@danao1796 not at all untrue. They protect each other even if it breaks the law.
Yes it is. It got that way when Police Departments had to go to the bottom of the barrel in order to find recruits
In this nation is what I would say.😢
hit and run, leaving the scene of an accident, lying about it by a COP???? prosecute and termiante this menace to society!
His coworkers will investigate and determine he did nothing wrong
First time seeing this?
End qualified immunity
Good luck waiting for that. They apparently have a different set of laws.
all car drivers are a menace to society
That is hit and run needs to be charged with attempted murder
You know damned well if he'll lie about this he's lied in court countless times.
Typical police officer.
*breaks out crystal ball...*
"we've investigated ourselves and found that we committed no wrongdoing"
He'd better be fired and all police departments in the state be notified about his conduct.
And here's a familiar refrain: And cops wonder why we loathe and distrust all of them.
I don't loathe and distrust all of them.
That being said I'm a normal human and haven't had an interaction with one in over ten years.
@@TheEnd-eg6wq Nobody cares. Bruh.
@@jmfia2391 Thanks for taking the time to post that, you obviously do care.
The fact he lied says a lot about his character. Not conducive to being a law enforcement officer
Literally it's the baseline requirement. You have to be willing to lie and hurt innocent people to be a cop
It was not a "crash site" ... That said, the problem isn't that it happened, but that the officer LIED about it and didn't follow protocol. He should be fired for that alone.
Absolutely disgusting that a police officer actually lied about it until they had proof. He should be fired just for that alone. How could anyone ever trust him with anything ?
Lying on police reports is part of the training. It was called creative writing skills.
@@abram730 never trust one
Any police cruiser or bodycam footage would "disappear" if it wasn't for home security footage. Take that to the bank.😢
The fact that they didn't immediately fire him tells you the culture where you can deny such a thing. The officer was willing to make the little boy seem like a liar.
He should be fired so the even crappier department down the road can hire him.
He should get fired just for lying to the department about it! The fact that they had to show him proof to get a confession says a lot about his character.
Yep, in any court case, if he is on the stand, this incident of officially lying can be brought up to discredit his testimony
Just a normal cop, nothing extraordinary about this guy.
He will probably plant drugs on the next kid he runs over 😔
What proof? A video of him driving in the area? Did you see or hear something I didn't?
@@rrnabors1 The video of him driving near the innocent was shown to the bad apple, at which point he fell on his sword. Maybe listen with two ears.
Hello. *Fort Pierce Police* here. We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing. Thank you.
This does not make sense?
We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing what so ever. We commend our officers and the great work we do.
Denied it TWICE ! Pull the certificate from this person as their credibility is forever tainted.
they asked if he was in a crash. He probably didn't consider this a crash
@@sub-harmonikfound the 🐷🍆 eater
Qualified immunity protects them from accountability
These 👮♂️👮♂️👮♂️👮♂️things aren't HUMAN .
@@sub-harmonikexcept they asked the same thing and he eventually admitted it so that defense is dumb
If he tries to cover up a minor incident, imagine what he would do if he actually hurt someone really bad.
Yup, it was easy enough to mea culpa the accident. He stopped and made sure the kid was okay. Should have written up an incident report.... but all of that is minor compared to lying during the investigation. As an officer, once you've been caught in a lie you're useless in any future court case. In a world where officer's are taken at their word when testifying, that's all you've got.
It's unbelievable the courts will take a police officers word over a regular citizen.
I'm sure the camera and video recorder on him got the proof he hit a kid
This is in no way a minor incident. He hit a child with his patrol car that is a major incident and now he’s lying about it trying to say he didn’t hit the child wrong wrong sickening.
You are all a bunch untrustworthy mf§ , now a days
This is what we have enforcing laws and making decisions that forever impact our lives. Imagine an officer of the law hitting a child and then lying about the whole situation
"Our investigation will be thorough"
"Uh yes, he's been put on paid administrative leave until you guys all forget about this." - Police chief, probably.
Police Chief, after a thorough investigation of ourselves, we found no wrong doing and our officer is back to work on the streets, and as Chief closes his interview, says stay safe out there on these streets!
Paid vacation! Yipee! And, the wheels of injustice just keep on turnin'.
Exactly!! He will be right back on the streets.. See how no pictures of him are up...
We have investigated ourselves, and determined that we did nothing wrong. Thanks for asking!
@@CPcamaro it’s the thin blue line
Imagine a normal citizen did that, omg, the wrath of hell would rain down on that person. But as it's a cop, paid leave and a 'don't do that again'.
He should already have been fired and charged and sitting in jail
Doesn’t deserve to carry a badge and should be in jail.
IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF THIS CORRUPTED COP..
Yes, what else has he lied about? His whole career is suspect.
He's a good officer and no one's going to talk about the detention that kid had in school his mother and father smoking marijuana so we just going to ignore that right that's a hero cop
@@kennethcollier4660 lol what
@@griznatle so what about the time that kid got a detention when he was in the third grade what about the time his mom got arrested for smoking marijuana and we're just going to act like his father never went to prison the parents are at fault
@@kennethcollier4660 problem with whataboutisms is it opens a floodgate of....well.... Whatsboutisms. There's no stopping it.
Why does any of that matter, a cop hit a kid and lied. The upbringing of the kid has no bearing.
I am sad you feel that it is ok to hit a kid and lie if the child is not an upstanding citizen...
Detective: "did you hit somebody yesterday?" Cop:"it depends on how much proof you have." Detective: "we don't have much right now." Cop: "it wasn't me then" Detective:" wait we just got the video" Cop: "well in that case yeah I did it."
He probably lied because he was intoxicated.
😂😂
😆
Omg 😱 how is he not in jail like anyone else who commits a crime like that it’s unbelievable the system is so screwed up hope the little boy is ok and the police wonder why people don’t have trust in them and you’re committing crimes and then lying about them so why wasn’t he taken down like any other criminal who walks the street I don’t care who he is the treatment should be just the same my prayers to the young man and his family in his healing ❤️🩹🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@sheimellwells7371 how wasn't Paul walker who was 33 and had sex with 15 year old not in jail?
Caught the cop in a lie twice. He finally admits that he did it only after getting caught in said lies twice; and you still need to investigate? What? The utter disrespect that today's cops exabit towards the civilian population, even our damn children is staggering;.
This officer committed a hit and run on a child and lied about it and people are talking about how he should be fired? He should be in prison!
When you encourage your employees to lie, don’t ever expect a straight answer when you confront them.
This. They are trained to lie to get the outcome they are looking for.
How many times did you lie to your mother this week? ...
Lies are encouraged to relieve them of taking responsibility. Of course their thorough investigation will find no wrongdoing because self-preservation is above all else.
Exactly
I think cops are trained to never tell the truth so they're practiced liars.
How you going to hit a kid and then lie? Now it's a felony hit and run, official misconduct, evidence tampering, etc.
They will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong
Open and shut case.
Maybe a promotion
@@burnz7690 or charging the kid with assault and battery on a law enforcement officer
I always repeat this until I am tired of typing:
*ABOLISH QUALIFIED IMMUNITY!*
Administrative leave 🤦♂️ if anyone else hit a kid and ran they'd be in jail
Can you say you are FIRED? Zero Tolerance for this Criminal’s ignorance.
If that tyrant is willing to lie about accidentally hitting a child, just imagine what else he has and is willing to lie about..
Shooting unarmed people and killing them?
Curb stomping local "youths" that din do nuffin?
Extortion & rape
Exactly, that thing HAS ruined a lot of lives in it's tenor.
Supreme Court ruled officers are allowed to lie.
Peace & LOVE for ONE & ALL 🙏🕊❤🔥
Hit a child with your vehicle, lie about it repeatedly, and receive a paid vacation. Just sickening.
So the officer lied during the police investigation. Isn't that obstruction of justice or interfering with an investigation? Certainly, lying while on duty should be an HR thing in an instance like this. Sure police can lie to suspects in a crime (that is legal), but a defendant can not lie or that becomes a form of perjury. So why is this guy on paid leave and not fired?
Who said he was on paid leave?
My neighbor did 18 months for lying to a law enforcement officer furing an investigation. Well he didnt lie but that didnt stop the cops and court from throwing him in jail for 18 months, and they knew it was bs charges but still carried through. Police can lie cheat and steal on their job and have absolute immunity from the law, this means their job is to lie cheat and steal.
@@davidbryant3532 that's what administrative leave means.
go to jail do not pass go
@crabber93 why do you want to kill all hispanics?
Fire him. You cant have proven liars in positions like these
He needs to be fired and charged with hit and run (and actually going so far as to lie, when confronted).
So sad that kid knows he can't trust the police first hand.
At least he learned it young.

Don't underestimate the ineptitude of normies. Many will praise a cop for being polite while violating their rights.
A cop lying? Imagine that.
Why aren't they held to the same standards as citizens!? He should be in jail, suspended license, fines, etc. just like they would do to a typical citizen!
OMG a police officer who lies, I'm so shocked 😱
Next your going to tell me politicians lie😂

Should have been fired ASAP for Lying!
Revoke qualified immunity,sue him in his official capacity, personal capacity, and department and don’t give up until held accountable
PERSONALLY held accountable, bankrupt this crooked cop, personally.

That’s all great and dandy.
WHAT MOST DONT REALIZE IS THAT OUR GOVERNMENT AND STATES 🧢 CAP THE DOLLAR 💵 💵💵💵💵AMOUNT. MY STATE CAPPED IT AT 25K, WHICH ISNT ENOUGH TO COVER FEES , INJURIES, WAGE LOSS, CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS VIOLATED.
I WISH IT WAS THAT EASY, BUT FOR ME OUR GOVERNMENT/STATE IS STILL PROTECTING THESE LAW VIOLATORS/BREAKERS
That's mostly the reason they join the police force is that police immunity allows them to kill and assault innocent people
"We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing." Calling it now.
Kreskin lives😂! Yeah, I’m guessing they are waiting to see how much traction the story gets before burying it completely.
"We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing." That's their Standard Operating Procedure.
I was just thinking the same thing . I wonder how many of these cops say I'm a good Christian man and then lie like a rug under oath with their hand on a Bible! Good news is hell ain't half full yet !

On leave? He should already have been fired and charged. If a citizen had bump a kids bike and knocked him over and only checked if the kid said he was ok before driving away, he'd have already been charged and possibly fired if it was bringing negative publicity to his employer.
If this officer lies about hitting a kid just think what he's lying about on the streets to the average citizen
Cameras are all over.....😮😮😮😮

I wish they caught the incident. Hecwas probably negligent. Kid was at a crosswalk.
It's not illegal to lie to the average citizen on the Street. It's illegal to lie to the police. It doesn't matter if he lies to you or me it matters that he lied to his boss. Where do you get the idea that the police can't lie to you?
@@brianbagnall3029 he hit a kid on a crosswalk. We don't need video evidence to prove he was being negligent. The fact that he hit a kid in a crosswalk is proof enough he was negligent.

Practically? It seems like he did. Kept his job, got a paid vacation, and doesn't have to answer any questions...he got caught and still got away with it
Idk though he checked on the kid the kid was fine didn't even want a bandaid, he should have reported the incident and called the parents however, I dont want my officers tied up for hours on an incident that doesn't even require a band-aid.
Hit and run is where you hit someone and leave immediately regardless of their injuries, your poor choice of words makes it seem drastically worse than it is.
No surprise there really. The United States of Un-Fairica
@@npbeck89 just because a kid doesn't want a band aid doesn't mean anything. They should still be checked out. Would you defend this if it happened to you? Doubt it.
Accidents happen, it's how you respond afterwards that speaks volumes about your character
He offered the kid a bandaid -- it sounds like the kid was unharmed and the parents are baiting a lawsuit tbh.
To make assumptions about how he would have acted had there been any actual harm is absurd.
We can expect the police department will investigate itself and find no wrongdoing and no punishments while the police benevolent association will publicly congratulate the cop for "bravely and selfessly saving a child's life even risking his own".
Hit and Run.
1-5 years behind bars.
Law enforcement and public servants needs to be held in higher standards.
"We take things like this very seriously "...."our thoughts and prayers"
Some great comments. Keep them coming. When a cop shows they have no integrity, they should be dismissed forthwith.
He needs to loose his job and go to jail for telling a big lie and thank God that the child is ok.

If they were serious, they would have fired him immediately after watching the video and hearing his lies.
This is one of those incidents that stress the importance of holding police accountable whether you personally dislike the victims of police misconduct or not. Nothing is more dangerous than cops who lie and a public that sees accountability as an attack on police.
White people love police until they are hurt by them.
That's a good point, like the way people make George Floyd out to be a saint, all indications show he was a POS, an addict, and a woman beater, it's very likely he knew he was spending a counterfeit and it is just as likely that he was out of his mind on drugs at the time, but none of that justified what happened to him
I saw a video on The Junkyard News recently where a cop was fired twice and rehired twice after union arbitration. It was about how to hold them accountable when they refuse to be.

_This is why Official Law Enforcement Employees are _*_never held accountable._*
“We’re gonna investigate ourselves and we didn’t find any wrongdoing”
Shocking but unsurprising behavior. That profession attracts sociopaths.
He should be fired and arrested for hit and run.
Police who lie about incidents should be fired immediately and sued for all they own
They have dozens of appeals and are often hired back with full pay. This is why cities and towns are reluctant to fire corrupt cops
“We are investigating the incident and will find there is no wrong doing on the part of the officer. We will charge the child with jay walking and bill the parents for any damages to the vehicle”.
