I wouldn't doubt this tyrant violated many citizens rights over the years.
Now he gets to go see where they live. I guarantee everyone of them was gonna recognize them. This pig ain’t gonna be safe on the PC yard.
Hundreds if not thousands of individuals rights completely violated. Maybe he will even run into a couple fellow inmates that he planted stuff on or fudged reports on or lied in testimony. Either way, if he’s retired right now, he was DEFINITELY part of a terrible culture.
Using the term “citizens” is a bit misleading. This CRIMINAL was wanted on a felony warrant and was fleeing the police. He made his choice and lost. Good riddance. I lean towards the liberal side on most issues but crime in this country is out of control. The cop hating is just ridiculous. Police have an impossible job and I for one support them for all they do.

Because he's retired from law enforcement now he's not a danger to society.

@@jacquesclark1535 What's up with the african murder rate every year?
Our system is so corrupt!!! So the the judge says "" I UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS SUSPENDED AT THIS TIME "" Inwhich the murderer cops lawyer acknowledged the cop was suspended but he put in for retirement and the state police accepted his retirement.... THIS MEANS HE WILL GET HIS RETIREMENT BENEFITS... THAT IS DISGUSTING
It won’t stop a civil case going after it, they should never accept a resignation until after the court case is settled.
Oakland County, Michigan deputies are why taxpayers no longer support law enforcement!
Deputy encounters seldom if ever benefit the taxpayer!
He will be in prison for a very long time those benifits will go to helping his family
We clearly see that the judge is always on they side ... It didn't matter he killed that boy he should stay in jail... Sad to have to watch how this shit ..
@@peterbuckley3877but that's one of the main problems with civil rights lawsuits, while they are employed they still use city and municipalities budget money to defend and payoff their personal lawsuits.
It's disgusting that the Michigan State Police allowed this murderer to retire, instead of firing him for cause. That's the Thin Blue Line Gang protecting itself.
Terrorists in blue
HOW IS HE NOT IN CHAINS AND CUFFS BEIN CHARGED WITH MURDER?????
My point exactly
being*
Well he’s not in cuffs because he’s a white male he’s also a police officer that gives him special privileges that the rest of us do not have make no mistake we do not have civil rights anymore it’s all over
Cops are above the law

Perfect example of a police state trooper.
Murderers. Can't swear and be at their level.
@@saramill5822 What's up with the blk murder rate every year?
Any c0p
Michigan State Trooper
How the hell do you get a personal recognizance bond on a murder charge? That means he didn’t have to pay one fine to get out on bond.
It happens all the time with plenty of gang bangers and habitual offenders
Why is he NOT in shackles and an orange costume like the rest of us would be????
After the victim was hit by the vehicle he was then handcuffed. EMTs were told that he must remain handcuffed. Let that sink in!!
That's the law because in the great majority of cases, the person being pursued is still capable of being dangerous towards the EMTs and others. It's such a minor thing you're complaining about; focus on the real crime.
@user-bo1rj2xu2s That's true, and they had no idea that his injuries were fatal or that an officer would catch a murder charge.
Yea cause he was a pos felon fleeing . Sucks to suck
When did he retire? Did he retire after the murder? LEOs should not be allowed to retire if they are or will be facing criminal charges. The deck is stacked in the favor of corrupt/criminal LEOs. That needs to change. Edit: Detective Brian Keely retired ONE DAY before his arraignment. If he did nothing wrong why was he in such a rush to retire? This is rediculous & needs to change.
You are correct about the deck being stacked in favor of Law Enforcement, Judges, Court Personnel, etc...
Sometime in the 1980's the Supreme Court approved the Qualified Immunity Act, which protects Law Enforcement Officers from being held personally accountable/responsible for their wrongful actions against citizens.
Law Enforcement Officers are there to make sure that the laws aren't broken and to address those who break the law. The problem is that they don't know many of the laws/statutes, they misinterpret what the laws say or mean, and most have no understanding of Constitutional Laws, which are the most important because they were written to protect the people's naturally born rights, and can overide city or state laws, and the one's that they sware an oath to protect and defend, before they can get their certification to work in the field of Law Enforcement.
Did his lawyer just say that this is the first time his client is in trouble, admitting that his client is actually “in trouble”? Words carry meaning, especially in court.
He's charged with murder. To say this guy is in trouble is an understatement.
IN TROUBLE HE RAN AN INNOCENT MAN OVER BECAUSE HE WAS TOO LAZY TO GET OUT AND APREHEND HIM!
That pos was def not innocent
As someone who lives close to GR. This and the other death of the other young man is very concerning. Im afraid to drive in this area for the fear getting pulled over, and who knows how far the officers would take it....
Yes, its a nation wide issue.
Don't do anything wrong. If pulled over, comply with LEOs requests. Don't run away. Do all this and you'll go home at night. It's not hard, dude.
@user-bo1rj2xu2s
Law Enforcement believe they are superior and above the citizens. It's too bad they don't understand the oath they took says all men are all equal in the eyes of the law, which means that the only time Law Enforcement is above a citizen is if they have broken the law. If you have not committed a crime and refuse to give your ID to most Law Enforcement Officers, they try to arrest you for obstruction. Why? Because Law Enforcement Officers do not want to hear the word "NO" and they think they are superior to you, so they will use their authority against you for hurting their egos.
@@user-bo1rj2xu2s No not true not even remotely true.... Ive seen dozens and dozens of vids of ppl doing EXACTLY what the cops say and still get shot or beaten or tazed.... And God forbid you hurt the cops fee fees or hurt his fragile ego... Then you are fucked no matter WHAT you do or how close you follow commands... And all of that doesnt even touch illegal commands illegal stops etc. We have rights for a reason not so we can be subservient to the police and the police state we live in and ppl like YOU perpetuate with your utter bullshit "dOnT bReAk tHe lAw aNd fOlLoW aLl cOmMaNdS aNd yOu wIlL bE fInE"
Exactly! This guy was a wanted fugitive with a record.
This reminds me of the 1920s. The sheriff is chasing down a suspect on his horse. But this cop does one better with a 3 tone vehicle. But this Scumbag gets to retire.
Only in mErica,.corruption is legal and rewarding... Built on DECEPTION AND VIOLENCE AND UNFAIR legal system..
Retired WTF 🤬
This Judge is playing games. she knows she is going to give bail.
Should not be a judge should be a private citizen
That f-ing blue line goes all the way to judges
Court-favored Michigan cops seem to politically escape the draconian yet mandated BOND CONDITIONS which include, in-person reporting, daily in-person naked drug & alcohol urine testing in front of strangers, a minimum of 12 sessions of counseling, and calling in every morning between the hours of 4:00am and 5:00am until trial. (Subservient and costly mandates) It's what the court mandates from all arrestees except for cops, and that's just wrong...

"The first time, well one of the first times." Which is it?
Yeah, I caught that too. How many "first times" have there been? And why didn't the judge ask for the prosecutor to make a bond argument?
That certainly tells you he has at least one prior!
Strong feelings about another government officer getting away with murder treated completely different to ordinary citizens
I will bet you that if he is found guilty he will not get the same treatment you or I would get!!!!!!!
He is ALREADY not getting the same treatment!
When the judge asked about his record, I believe his attorney said some thing to the effect of, for the most part, he has not had any problems with the law. … 😅😅
he'll no he's most likely going to get a few months in jail at best and loss of certification
3 years and probation
Send him to prison throw the key away
There is no such thing as “ this is one of the first times “.
Sometimes the hate in folks hearts can be seen. Their posture changes. The look of arrogance in their faces.
Am I right that victim is black? Would he be more culpable if the victim was white?
Retired to secure his pension. The victims family should be able to seize that pension.
Justifiable homicide as far as I’m concerned. That officer didn’t know that he didn’t have a gun
The family of the kid should be prosecuted .. they knew their low life kid was out on the streets with felony warrents.
