This is exactly WHY all police misconduct should be reported on a NATIONAL database....and the database MUST be updated in a TIMELY manner and reviewed before anyone is hired as a law enforcement officer....city, state OR federal......ANYWHERE !
yea but remember when it was included in the last stimulus bill and Republicans dragged their feet so it was stricken out? because Republicans kept whining it was preventing them from voting in favor

Don't be fooled. They knew his history and welcomed it. It isn't a case of not doing their due diligence. The Globe department is one of three or four departments in AZ that all cops know is where you go to work when you're forced to leave another department for misconduct. Just about every dirtbag cop like this has cycled through all of those "sanctuary departments", because those departments welcome dirtbag cops.
Worse than that. Decent officers increasingly leave such departments. So that when people insist that it's surely stretching coincidence that every apple in the barrel is rotten, we have to address the very real possibility that it is no longer coincidence. It has become - effectively - policy.

So the misconduct was severe enough to seek termination, but was not severe enough to report? They must be thinking they’re dealing with kids when they give these answers?
Yeah his former Chief is covering for him that's why. Police officers should not be allowed to resign if they are under investigation. If they resign during an investigation they should be disbarred from seeking employment from another agency.
A good attorney can stack these departments in a civil law suit. The victim can really clean up on compensatory amounts. Stacking is a common civil liability tactic for attorneys to sue for damages from multiple municipalities for foisting off this bad penny cop. A similar experience happened some years ago with my son. He was living with us after losing his home. He accumulated several speeding tickets and his license was suspended because of it. Still, one night he and his friend took my wife's van without her knowing about it to Brownsburg, Indiana. Now before I go on with this story I want to emphasize that I totally disapproved later of his taking my wife's van without permission. He could have had his friend, Lucas, drive because Lucas had a valid license. That said, we'll return to the story. They were driving down a residential street when they were stopped by Brownsburg Police Officer Toby Deaton. He walked up to the driver side window and asked for driver's license and registration. He didn't give his name nor why he stopped them. This is perfectly legal and he was within his official capacity not to give his name, nor why he stopped them. My son told him immediately that his driver's license was suspended. He gave it to Officer Deaton and he wrote out a citation. Now, that would have been the end of the traffic stop as Lucas could have driven the van. But, Officer Deaton had other ideas. He asked if he could search the van. My son agreed for Officer Deaton to search with a caveat. My son said he wanted to watch him search, " Because police are known to plant evidence. " Officer Toby Deaton went into a rage. " That just cost you 180 dollars! " He roared." I'm impounding this vehicle." Officer Deaton had my son exit the van and put him in handcuffs while he had my son stand by the side of the road in front of all who could see that he was being humiliated while this officer ransacked the vehicle. It was two hours later and the van being towed away that my son was released from his restraints. The next day we collected my wife's van and the interior was completely trashed. The van had been searched three different times. My son and I went to the Brownsburg Police station the next day to file a complaint. The lieutenant who took my son's complaint made sure i wasn't allowed to be with him. So, I went to the Assistant Chief, who took my statement. We talked for over an hour about how I was a former police officer and that Officer Toby Deaton had turned a simple traffic stop into a carnival freak show, with every cop on patrol stopping by to see what Toby Deaton had on display. Toby Deaton was allowed to resign and I don't have any way of knowing where he went. I found out much later that he left the Seymour Indiana police department under a cloud. I assume Toby Deaton is still out there reeking havoc on civilians. I would hope this story goes viral and somebody can tell me where Toby Deaton is now enforcing the law so I can go to the next commissioner's meeting to reveal Deaton's history and if they are aware of it, and if they are, why are they allowing him to work for them.

Some cops just seem to want to, “get their gun off.” All the training in the world cannot change a thug into a not-thug.

That would solve a bunch of problems overnight 👍
Yep! I completely agree. If a Chief is willing to dismiss THAT behavior, he helps perpetuate the behavior. Insensitive comments is something they can try to train on, that "officer" used a weapon to attack a woman that was not threatening OR posing him any harm.
so long as you have chiefs thinking like this the problem won't go away criminally complicit as well, attitude reflects leadership dirty from top to bottom
Exactly ,the buck should had been stopped in his tracks when the sexual harassment popped up ,an it makes you wonder how this stuff flew under the DA's & judges ,maybe they need to be exposed as well!..🤢
Eerily similar to the Catholic church’s history of “priest shuffling” to different parishes after child m*lestation allegations were made 😞 However, there is ONE reason I’m glad to hear stories like this one: _we’re hearing them._ Things used to be much easier to hide. We’re in a new age of accountability.
THAT IS SO SAD, But exactly the way it IS! It SEEMS, the WORSE THEIR BACKGROUND, The More The Next “CHIEF” wants Them🤔 It is Usually because, THE “CHIEF” and the ENTIRE DEPARTMENT, is CORRUPT, so why wouldn’t They want an ROGUE OFFICE with expertise?! They Don’t have too Train Him too Be A CORRUPT, CRIMINAL, THIN BLUE LINE GANG MEMBER THUG! He CAME IN THAT WAY🤢☠️🥶💀😡 Absolutely DEPLORABLE!
@@jefferyschirm4103 WTF?! You are completely deranged and beyond ignorant. If the cop is that scared of his shadow he should never be on the force to begin with. He is the problem and has always been the problem. His type needs removed immediately
They don't care and until the laws change they have no reason to. Public servants are supposed to be held to a higher standard and that's clearly not happening
Objectively speaking, no, I don't think he took joy in doing what he did, but nevertheless, shouldn't be tasering people who don't show any risk of harming the officers. I think he should take a job outside of patrolling, but shouldn't necesarily be fired. Do you really wish for a person to not be able to feed himself or his family with the job he choses to do? That only makes things worse.
I'm getting totally sick of listening to them apologize after they brutalize someone. *_How about preventing it, and lawsuits, before it happens?_* *FFS*
If asked what makes him or any officer a great asset, the answer would probably be something along the lines of "He shows up to work sober most days and in uniform. He likes coffee just as much as the next guy. He's an avid sports fan. And according to his wife, even on her worst day, she can still take his best punch to the face or stomach."
I love how they focus on the tazering, and completely ignore the fact that he's confronting a woman in her own bedroom inside her residence. Not even a question posed as to what authority they had to enter her residence.
@@thatrunawayguy3555 Why would there be any outrage about someone getting tazed if they had a legitimate reason to be there? That makes no sense. By the way the only legitimate reason is a valid search warrant issued by a judge supported by probable cause. There was no mention in the video of a suspected crime or a warrant or that this woman was in any connected to a report of a crime.
@@thatrunawayguy3555 They also might have pressured her to agree to let them in. Happened to me. A crazy neighbor fabricated a story about a child being beaten inside my home. The sheriff's dept called me and said I better come home, because they were about to break down my door. I was so shocked that when the deputies asked to come in and look around, I said yes. Never again! They were so frustrated that they didn't find anything, that they made up some other bogus thing to charge me with. I think they were in cahoots with the neighbor. I was told later, by other neighbors, that the guy had connections with local law enforcement, and that he loved to call in with complaints to get his neighbors in trouble
They actually do have one it's called the Brady list, the problem is the prosecutors office and the chief and or sheriff refuse to do their job and put these cops on that list .
There is a national database. But you have that thick blue corrupt line where officers are allowed to resign rather than being terminated and then they’re sick blue line supervisors give them a beautiful recommendation to take to the next department. You don’t address it through training. You report them to POST & request their police officer certification be revoked. Az Departments don’t use the system that is already in place.
“Unfit”. That description applies to far many cops. An incredible history of bad behavior, decisions and stupidity while his supervisors coddled and protected him.
@@theAverageJoe25, if that is all you see then that is all you want to see. Yes, there are too many bad ones but there are definitely more good ones than bad ones. You rarely see the good because they rarely make the news. They don't have complaints filed against them so you don't see their name in the local media. Leadership makes it difficult for the good ones to turn the bad ones in, which is very unfortunate.
When people think police officers are fired they think that they're never going to be a cop. No there at the same job just at a different location about to do something even worse
He would have to modify his behaviour. He's a worrior not a worrier. He loves the power to abuse. The mental health facility would have bodies in situ to limit his range. He wouldn't be able to taze at will.
They actually called it a horrendous disciplinary record. And never once did they mention any form of discipline. Another police department couldn’t even tell he’s ever done anything wrong
The guy that tazed her should never be a cop in any police department. Who’s gonna be responsible for this guy when he kills someone. This is disgusting.
"That tasering was outside of our policy." You meant to say that the aggravated assault was a civil right violation. You address it with jail time, not more bad training.
Once again they try to excuse brutality. If you are " stressed " while talking to a lone woman and you have weapons , perhaps you need to be in a less stressful job.
@@jasonbradick3155 while it is true QI is in effect a license to commit crime, it is NOT the same as police breaking with "policy" when they break the "Law." Apples & Oranges...
@@timoshea2400 for once I'd like to see a DA pile on charges for a police crime to ensure a conviction or plea deal, like they do to everyone else. Unfortunately, it's difficult to go after the hand that feeds you...
The cop who murdered 12 yr old Tamir Rice in Cleveland was forced out from a previous police job. Derek Chauvin had double digit complains filed against him. It’s the police Union lack of care. I bet if an officer was fired for standing up to police corruption she could never find a job in policing again.
Perhaps a Citizens Review and Hiring Board from the Community the Officer will be serving, would a sure way to weed out the dangerous Oath breaking Public employees. Then we could Pour effective training into Officers who are both effective and have basic Common Sense.

The bad cop never stayed long enough for an internal investigation, and by quitting...his job records remained intact. Police departments save hiring costs when an already certified officer applies for a job and can reasonably be on the street a lot faster, instead of sending a raw recruit to the police academy. The Police “Brady List” is useless if the bad cops names never cross the Blue Line to make it on the list...
Why were they in the house, who let the tyrants in? Then he tases her for no reason. Outrageous. Never call the cops to help you, unless absolutely necessary.
Exactly what I was wondering, but don't expect the fake news to do their job responsibly. Not only were they called there, but she also seemed resistant to commands.
@@RuthyLook until you break the law their commands are not lawful. Just because a cop tells you to do something doesn't mean you have too. Badges do not grant extra rights. Also, they are only to use their weapons when their life is in danger not because you aren't listening.
Back in the day I had to provide 3 references and a hair follicle sample for a part-time job at BLOCKBUSTER Video in Pennsylvania. I kid you not. They ran my hair sample for drugs, called every one of my references and spoke with them for no less than 15 minutes and interviewed me twice. Once BEFORE I gave the references and once AFTER I provided my references and hair follicle sample. This was for a job in which I sorted videos, stocked shelves and greeted customers. I would have probably had an easier time becoming a Cop.
A hiring agency wanted a hair follicle sample for an unskilled random factory job, when I was supposed to be responding to their ad that a job at the nearby Honda plant was open... I just didn't show back up
He said "drop her" like some call of duty leader. Losers and pretenders. There isn't a worry on his face. That's why they do it bro. There is no life sentence for cops murdering you
It is amazing how a local TV station can find out all this information about a criminal police officer but the hiring Police department with professional investigators on staff cannot find out anything usable and pertinent about the officer they're about to hire?
Most 'investigations' consist of choosing someone at random to charge with the crime, leaving that person to bankrupt him/her self trying to prove their innocence, yet the badge wearing COWARDS can declare the crime 'solved' and give every pig involved an atta boy, and a commendation.
Its not about competency. Heavy majority of the force have the competency to lock up the guilty criminals. Its about credibility. A much lower percentage of the force dont have the credibility to properly police their own, including pre-hire backgrounds and terminating/charging bad cops or those that break the law.
Willie J Roland Jr. It is because they only hire Less than 90 IQ. How can you expect them to investigate anything? Well they don't what they do, being so Lazy, is that it's the first minority person that they arrest, someone that no one will believe. They plant evidence and fabricate a story for a corrupt prosecutor, a stacked jury and a racist biased Judge. Crime solved, high fives and promotions, their egos stoked.
The system is broken that's why it's up to the people to hold these fuckers accountable videotape every time you see them. Don't give them an inch because they wouldn't do it for you.
I live in Oregon. I congratulate you ABC15 Arizona. Your team is pretty ballsy...and, I love it. It's way past time for reporting on this subject. Keep up the good work you're doing, it's educating and protecting citizens. I wish every news station in the country would follow your lead.
Did he put anything in his application about being disciplined? If not, isn't that lying by omission? He was going to be terminated! They should have been told of that last episode especially!
The new agencies aren't TRYING to learn their recruits' histories. If they were interested there would be a database and agencies would be required to report reason for dismissal or invvestigations current at time of resignation. Such information should NEVER be considered private when carrying a badge and a gun are involved.
This cop belongs in prison - I would give him 10 years. The town he previously worked at should force the council and the police chief to resign or fire the lot of these corrupt people that put the lives of innocent people at risk. You correct it by firing these monsters. Sounds like he won't go to a mental health facility in case they section him. If the Mayor and council think this is okay then they need to be fired also taking the chief of police with them.
“A break down in the system” yeah you’re not kidding !!!! This whole world is a broken system. No one knows what they are doing!! Professions and titles don’t make things right!!
This isn’t in any way uncommon. These men and women are known as “gypsy” cops. They’re allowed to resign before formal charges and firing so they keep a clean enough record to be hired elsewhere.
Allowing these cops to quit and move on is absolutely bizarre to me and many. They get out of prosecution by doing this., civilians are not able to do that.
that is what happens because when a police dept fires a cop he can go get hired at any other police dept in the country. If they dont pull theircertification they just go somewhere else and continue their bad behavior. Cities MUST start pulling certificates.
I am heartbroken over this and in a loss of words, I pray for this woman that she fully recover from this horrific thing she went through. I pray for this bad cop to turn his life around. How can this crooked cop with a long history of discipline stay in uniform? Unacceptable!
@Sgg Ffgg God is Love, Love us a Person U can demonstrate with my Love for people, people are the object of God's Love. Yes I will demonstrate by Walking in Love as Jesus gave example...
@Sgg Ffgg Every thing in the Bible Points towards an Intelligent Creator who created all things. I believe the eye witnesses who we're there and walked with Jesus both Believer and non Believers and those who died a horrible death standing up for the truth they saw. Also, my personal encounter with Jesus and the miracles I've witnessed. Nothing and nobody can convince me otherwise based on experience. It's a Faith walk not a sensory perception walk, senses are deceptive. If the story of Jesus is wrong then I find it weird I reaped Tangible Benefits from something that doesn't exist. However if it's correct and all evidence points it is then hell is hot and eternity long. I pray nobody else goes there and I pray you have an undeniable encounter with God.
@Sgg Ffgg Not all preacher's preach the whole truth. They preach Salvation but not Sanctification or the various Kinds of Faith and how to operate in it. Natural faith, Saving Faith and ask for and seek Supernatural Faith and Other Spiritual Gifts for the church. Jesus said Love God and Love your neighbor which is beyond the ten commandments and you will overcome like Jesus did and by walking in Love no matter what you will be in God's image. I will pray God reveal Himself to you like He did me and from that point on there was no more doubt or unbelief.. God bless your heart.
It's curruption when you hide the truth from performance evaluations. I bet this clown was rated as doing a really good job despite his violations. What a joke criminal justice can be.
Thank you ABC 15 for always investigating wrongful activity by the police and asking the tough questions to the police and keeping us safer with your investigations!

That would solve a bunch of problems overnight 👍
@@vonclod123 : Isn’t it though? 🙄 . . . 👍
The sad thing is this will never end.
They cant be trusted to investigate themselves time to replace the top cop
Exactly! "We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong." It's total B.S.!
They don’t investigate themselves they have agency’s for every specific thing
The chief of every police department should be a regular citizen.
Chief says it's a training problem. I say it's a character problem!! The chief needs to go.
@Joseph Hentschel Oh, but listen to him on the violin!
@@willmorrison1022 you mean he would make a better MMA punching bag I assume?
@@dalujo I'm all for career advancement. I think that would be a better use of his talents and a benefit to society.
Yep! I completely agree. If a Chief is willing to dismiss THAT behavior, he helps perpetuate the behavior. Insensitive comments is something they can try to train on, that "officer" used a weapon to attack a woman that was not threatening OR posing him any harm.
so long as you have chiefs thinking like this the problem won't go away criminally complicit as well, attitude reflects leadership dirty from top to bottom
And this is a wellness check? Wow!
Training will not fix a broken cop.
So rather than fire him immediately for misconduct, they just allow him to move on.
Down to his contract and or the police unions?
arrest him like they do to us
Exactly ,the buck should had been stopped in his tracks when the sexual harassment
popped up ,an it makes you wonder how this stuff flew under the DA's & judges ,maybe
they need to be exposed as well!..🤢
Eerily similar to the Catholic church’s history of “priest shuffling” to different parishes after child m*lestation allegations were made 😞
However, there is ONE reason I’m glad to hear stories like this one: _we’re hearing them._ Things used to be much easier to hide. We’re in a new age of accountability.
This guy is a criminal, masquerading as a police officer!!
Get him off the force!!! Get him off the street!!
Period.
"Have you ever been fired from another department for arbitrary violence?"
"Yes I have."
"When can you start?"
Lol
That is a mess up funny way to put it
lol
So true, it's scary.
THAT IS SO SAD, But exactly the way it IS!
It SEEMS, the WORSE THEIR BACKGROUND, The More The Next “CHIEF” wants Them🤔
It is Usually because, THE “CHIEF” and the ENTIRE DEPARTMENT, is CORRUPT, so why wouldn’t They want an ROGUE OFFICE with expertise?!
They Don’t have too Train Him too Be A CORRUPT, CRIMINAL, THIN BLUE LINE GANG MEMBER THUG! He CAME IN THAT WAY🤢☠️🥶💀😡
Absolutely DEPLORABLE!
Sadly true
YOU LET A UNSTABLE PERSON WALK AROUND WITH A GUN WHAT THE FFF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE
This officer was under no pressure except his own to commit this crime.
He was hungry to hurt someone, anyone, and he didn't care one bit!
Yup.
Business as usual.
You may be right but had the house been cleared , one quick shot his dead, maybe he listens to the news too much just scared also !
So many of them. 🤬 If only: 'One good apple cures the bunch.'
@@jefferyschirm4103 WTF?! You are completely deranged and beyond ignorant. If the cop is that scared of his shadow he should never be on the force to begin with. He is the problem and has always been the problem. His type needs removed immediately
They don't care and until the laws change they have no reason to. Public servants are supposed to be held to a higher standard and that's clearly not happening
Is this how the cop would treat his own mother???
He took great joy in doing that. Him and the officers above him should be fired, charged and prosecuted to the fullest.
When the cop said "Drop her" the way he did, you can tell he'd just been waiting for the day he could use that line!
100% my friend everyone involved in turning a blind eye and just sweep under the carpet should be jailed
@@Freddles279 right
Objectively speaking, no, I don't think he took joy in doing what he did, but nevertheless, shouldn't be tasering people who don't show any risk of harming the officers. I think he should take a job outside of patrolling, but shouldn't necesarily be fired. Do you really wish for a person to not be able to feed himself or his family with the job he choses to do? That only makes things worse.
@@KevinLGlory Someone like that absolutely and he has no one to blame but himself. He didn't think about his family at all.
I'm getting totally sick of listening to them apologize after they brutalize someone. *_How about preventing it, and lawsuits, before it happens?_*
*FFS*
Get rid of qualified immunity
@@kah7012 - This, exactly.
Our money to pay their lawsuits. Disgusting and a disregard to the people that pay their salary, we the working people.
If police agency hires a bad cop with prior misconduct, the hiring must be liable.
Atty.: "He is a walking time bomb and is unfit to serve."
Mesa PD: "He'd make a *great asset* to our police department!"
And every police department in America.
If asked what makes him or any officer a great asset, the answer would probably be something along the lines of "He shows up to work sober most days and in uniform. He likes coffee just as much as the next guy. He's an avid sports fan. And according to his wife, even on her worst day, she can still take his best punch to the face or stomach."
Where does it end people!?
Truth !
@@tjbooker9948 Awesome. I'm copying this. You said mouthful.
I love how they focus on the tazering, and completely ignore the fact that he's confronting a woman in her own bedroom inside her residence. Not even a question posed as to what authority they had to enter her residence.
Right? How come they don't mention the circumstances? That's horrifying!
It could be that they had a legitimate reason to be there. If it were an illegal entry, they 100% would have added it to the video.
@@thatrunawayguy3555
Why would there be any outrage about someone getting tazed if they had a legitimate reason to be there? That makes no sense. By the way the only legitimate reason is a valid search warrant issued by a judge supported by probable cause. There was no mention in the video of a suspected crime or a warrant or that this woman was in any connected to a report of a crime.
@@thatrunawayguy3555 They also might have pressured her to agree to let them in. Happened to me. A crazy neighbor fabricated a story about a child being beaten inside my home. The sheriff's dept called me and said I better come home, because they were about to break down my door. I was so shocked that when the deputies asked to come in and look around, I said yes.
Never again! They were so frustrated that they didn't find anything, that they made up some other bogus thing to charge me with.
I think they were in cahoots with the neighbor. I was told later, by other neighbors, that the guy had connections with local law enforcement, and that he loved to call in with complaints to get his neighbors in trouble
I'm betting it was one of those "welfare checks" where the cops show up to make sure you aren't hurting yourself and then beat the crap out of you.
The system isn't malfunctioning, it's working exactly as intended
We need a National database to prevent these people from being rehired in any law enforcement.
That does no good if the chain of command doesn't report anything It's all about protecting that thin blue line Code of silence
They actually do have one it's called the Brady list, the problem is the prosecutors office and the chief and or sheriff refuse to do their job and put these cops on that list .
Yes we do and an outside organization to make sure the database is used for what it's intended to do with out bias.
There is a national database. But you have that thick blue corrupt line where officers are allowed to resign rather than being terminated and then they’re sick blue line supervisors give them a beautiful recommendation to take to the next department.
You don’t address it through training. You report them to POST & request their police officer certification be revoked.
Az Departments don’t use the system that is already in place.
No way. The masons will make sure of that.
“Unfit”. That description applies to far many cops. An incredible history of bad behavior, decisions and stupidity while his supervisors coddled and protected him.
@Jack Stucki what standards? All I see are psychos and sadists protected and coddled by supposed “good apples”
@@theAverageJoe25 you are absolutely correct and throw in the crooked ass judges and prosecutors as well
@@theAverageJoe25, if that is all you see then that is all you want to see. Yes, there are too many bad ones but there are definitely more good ones than bad ones. You rarely see the good because they rarely make the news. They don't have complaints filed against them so you don't see their name in the local media. Leadership makes it difficult for the good ones to turn the bad ones in, which is very unfortunate.
Supervisors? You mean Bishops? Oh wait...
In a private company, that guy will be fired immediately, no such thing as training, training, training. What a load of rubbish.
Isn't that kind of weird the media can find out all this information but the police cannot it shows you how well trained they are
This is the only field that will rehire you from being terminated.
When people think police officers are fired they think that they're never going to be a cop. No there at the same job just at a different location about to do something even worse
As usual, he wasn’t arrested for doing something that would put a civilian in jail for years.
He wouldn’t go on the call to the mental Hospital because he knew they would recognize him as a patient.
He would have to modify his behaviour. He's a worrior not a worrier. He loves the power to abuse. The mental health facility would have bodies in situ to limit his range. He wouldn't be able to taze at will.
An escaped one!
They actually called it a horrendous disciplinary record. And never once did they mention any form of discipline. Another police department couldn’t even tell he’s ever done anything wrong
The guy that tazed her should never be a cop in any police department. Who’s gonna be responsible for this guy when he kills someone. This is disgusting.
They stick together, they cover each others backs.
And when they commit murders together they should get tried for the same charges, murder. Just like ALL criminals whi conspire to commit a crime.
And talked and laughed on how they pop an old ladys' shoulder, tasered a mentally ill woman and killed a man in knee on neck hold procedure.
Pigs stick together
"That tasering was outside of our policy." You meant to say that the aggravated assault was a civil right violation. You address it with jail time, not more bad training.
Long jail time with no chance for parole in general population
This is not a matter of needed training. It's a matter of abuse of authority by so called officer.
Once again they try to excuse brutality. If you are " stressed " while talking to a lone woman and you have weapons , perhaps you need to be in a less stressful job.
Why is it that an officer only violates "POLICY?" Why are they never charged with a violation of the law like anyone else?
because half the police force would be in jail and the other half should be as well for aiding and abetting
Its called Qualified Immunity! You can thank our very own Supreme Court for that one!!
@@jasonbradick3155 while it is true QI is in effect a license to commit crime, it is NOT the same as police breaking with "policy" when they break the "Law." Apples & Oranges...

Right! Videos needed as prove & only reason they are scrutinized, now. It is sad!
The cop who murdered 12 yr old Tamir Rice in Cleveland was forced out from a previous police job.
Derek Chauvin had double digit complains filed against him.
It’s the police Union lack of care. I bet if an officer was fired for standing up to police corruption she could never find a job in policing again.
Perhaps a Citizens Review and Hiring Board from the Community the Officer will be serving, would a sure way to weed out the dangerous Oath breaking Public employees. Then we could
Pour effective training into
Officers who are both effective and have basic Common Sense.
You get vetted for practically any job you go for. You’d assume jobs such as law enforcement would be right up there on the level of scrutiny... but I guess not. It’s like me going for a job as a neuro surgeon and only being asked what my favourite biscuit was.

The officer needs to go to prison
The Sergeant don't know the law but they expect us to listen to them.
Hey Chief, you can't 'address and correct' thuggery through 'training'.
He should go to prison for a very long time..
Why has he not been held accountable before now? Everyone in charge of him need to be fired!!!
That will never happen until qualified immunity is repealed.
The bad cop never stayed long enough for an internal investigation, and by quitting...his job records remained intact.
Police departments save hiring costs when an already certified officer applies for a job and can reasonably be on the street a lot faster, instead of sending a raw recruit to the police academy.
The Police “Brady List” is useless if the bad cops names never cross the Blue Line to make it on the list...
Why were they in the house, who let the tyrants in? Then he tases her for no reason. Outrageous. Never call the cops to help you, unless absolutely necessary.

@@RuthyLook until you break the law their commands are not lawful. Just because a cop tells you to do something doesn't mean you have too. Badges do not grant extra rights. Also, they are only to use their weapons when their life is in danger not because you aren't listening.
A CRIMINAL OUT OF CONTROL, LAW ENFORCEMENT IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. A INSANE PERSON WITH A BADGE
Back in the day I had to provide 3 references and a hair follicle sample for a part-time job at BLOCKBUSTER Video in Pennsylvania. I kid you not. They ran my hair sample for drugs, called every one of my references and spoke with them for no less than 15 minutes and interviewed me twice. Once BEFORE I gave the references and once AFTER I provided my references and hair follicle sample. This was for a job in which I sorted videos, stocked shelves and greeted customers. I would have probably had an easier time becoming a Cop.
East Coast is a totally different world people don't realize
A hiring agency wanted a hair follicle sample for an unskilled random factory job, when I was supposed to be responding to their ad that a job at the nearby Honda plant was open... I just didn't show back up

How many apologies can one person give. Even a broken clock gets fixed eventually. Strip the rat of his funny papers that he calls police papers.
He said "drop her" like some call of duty leader. Losers and pretenders. There isn't a worry on his face. That's why they do it bro. There is no life sentence for cops murdering you
Not only a cop, but a police sergeant. In a supervisory position.
It is amazing how a local TV station can find out all this information about a criminal police officer but the hiring Police department with professional investigators on staff cannot find out anything usable and pertinent about the officer they're about to hire?
Unbelievable there's the captain covering up for his people. It's a learning experience oh never should happen in the first place
Unbelievable? This is how they operate. Abolish the Police!
@@jonncockrell3606 That would work for about 20 min lol
I couldn’t tell if Esther is being sarcastic. How is it unbelievable?
We are sorry that our officer was caught on video violating our policies! Next time we will make sure he turns off his camera!
It's not a breakdown it's a cover up.
The police can’t properly investigate new hires, how can they investigate serious felonies and murders???
Investigate? We just pick a suspect and then lie about the whole thing....
Most 'investigations' consist of choosing someone at random to charge with the crime, leaving that person to bankrupt him/her self trying to prove their innocence, yet the badge wearing COWARDS can declare the crime 'solved' and give every pig involved an atta boy, and a commendation.
Its not about competency. Heavy majority of the force have the competency to lock up the guilty criminals.
Its about credibility. A much lower percentage of the force dont have the credibility to properly police their own, including pre-hire backgrounds and terminating/charging bad cops or those that break the law.
Willie J Roland Jr.
It is because they only hire Less than 90 IQ. How can you expect them to investigate anything? Well they don't what they do, being so Lazy, is that it's the first minority person that they arrest, someone that no one will believe. They plant evidence and fabricate a story for a corrupt prosecutor,
a stacked jury and a racist biased Judge. Crime solved, high fives and promotions, their egos stoked.

Of course the chief orchestrated his move to the new gig.
Totally Agree with you SIR
"Apologized for his officers.." A statement that should RARELY be heard, yet is heard almost daily."

Your team is pretty ballsy...and, I love it.
It's way past time for reporting on this subject. Keep up the good work you're doing, it's educating and protecting citizens.
I wish every news station in the country would follow your lead.
This is exactly the reason why Police Certifications need to be revoked.
The way you address bad behavior is by not rewarding it. Make sure there are consequences.
Did he put anything in his application about being disciplined? If not, isn't that lying by omission? He was going to be terminated! They should have been told of that last episode especially!
Did the app ask ?
It should and it should be a mandatory question.
Why'd you leave?
Ever disciplined ?
Any pending discipline ?
I totally agree. Hopefully his new employer sees this video.
Watched a vid yesterday. It says there is a national Bradley list for disciplined/problem cops. Said 100% voluntary therefore only 1,400 cops on it.
I'm so sorry this happened 😢 too this woman. Nobody should have to go through this. This police needs to be arrested
The new agencies aren't TRYING to learn their recruits' histories. If they were interested there would be a database and agencies would be required to report reason for dismissal or invvestigations current at time of resignation. Such information should NEVER be considered private when carrying a badge and a gun are involved.
This cop belongs in prison - I would give him 10 years. The town he previously worked at should force the council and the police chief to resign or fire the lot of these corrupt people that put the lives of innocent people at risk. You correct it by firing these monsters. Sounds like he won't go to a mental health facility in case they section him. If the Mayor and council think this is okay then they need to be fired also taking the chief of police with them.
“A break down in the system” yeah you’re not kidding !!!! This whole world is a broken system. No one knows what they are doing!! Professions and titles don’t make things right!!
This isn’t in any way uncommon. These men and women are known as “gypsy” cops. They’re allowed to resign before formal charges and firing so they keep a clean enough record to be hired elsewhere.
Allowing these cops to quit and move on is absolutely bizarre to me and many. They get out of prosecution by doing this., civilians are not able to do that.
Why is he allowed to keep doing mistakes? The second time you do something like that again he needs to be removed immediately.
a Police Uniform does not mean the Person wearing it is any more Honourable, Trustworthy, Moral or Law Abiding than anyone else.
that is what happens because when a police dept fires a cop he can go get hired at any other police dept in the country. If they dont pull theircertification they just go somewhere else and continue their bad behavior. Cities MUST start pulling certificates.
You correct it by FIRING THEM!!!😡
When one Dept. fires him. ALL Depts. should not hire him! The guy is Sybil with a Gun!🤯
I am heartbroken over this and in a loss of words, I pray for this woman that she fully recover from this horrific thing she went through. I pray for this bad cop to turn his life around. How can this crooked cop with a long history of discipline stay in uniform? Unacceptable!
They hire police chiefs without doing a simple background check. Its only surprising because the police constantly lie about everything.
@Sgg Ffgg YHWH so Holy you can't pronounce it. There's only one True God....
@Sgg Ffgg God is Love, Love us a Person U can demonstrate with my Love for people, people are the object of God's Love. Yes I will demonstrate by Walking in Love as Jesus gave example...
@Sgg Ffgg Every thing in the Bible Points towards an Intelligent Creator who created all things. I believe the eye witnesses who we're there and walked with Jesus both Believer and non Believers and those who died a horrible death standing up for the truth they saw. Also, my personal encounter with Jesus and the miracles I've witnessed. Nothing and nobody can convince me otherwise based on experience. It's a Faith walk not a sensory perception walk, senses are deceptive. If the story of Jesus is wrong then I find it weird I reaped Tangible Benefits from something that doesn't exist. However if it's correct and all evidence points it is then hell is hot and eternity long. I pray nobody else goes there and I pray you have an undeniable encounter with God.
@Sgg Ffgg Not all preacher's preach the whole truth. They preach Salvation but not Sanctification or the various Kinds of Faith and how to operate in it. Natural faith, Saving Faith and ask for and seek Supernatural Faith and Other Spiritual Gifts for the church. Jesus said Love God and Love your neighbor which is beyond the ten commandments and you will overcome like Jesus did and by walking in Love no matter what you will be in God's image. I will pray God reveal Himself to you like He did me and from that point on there was no more doubt or unbelief.. God bless your heart.

Its incredible, it seems like the police have a private gangsters club.

This just shows they don't care about people ! It make me wonder what else are they hiding or who ?
