I agree with the top part. However I believe someone is always watching even when it may seem nobody is watching. Your better and worse self is watching. What is fed most grows stronger. As far as the thank you sheriff part goes I'll try not to disagree to much. Cause he does seem to do his part. I just can't stand it when he twist facts of a few bad apples as examples into his sham war on drugs campaign like he does. That in itself should be criminal and should be held accountable and put behind bars. Just like the system profits from people's "health conditions" such as addiction instead of being decent folks and help get back on track to lead a more healthier and positive life style. Do you know how many people have life sentences for something that can't hurt anyone without am action of a human behind it? Such as drugs and guns? Yet the real problems like pedophilia are out harming children everyday. That get a small portion of the time. I know I have 3 years clean from heroin. I also been to prison along with the offenders/predators that caused my pain to want to try managing with drugs in the first place. Not saying that I was an angel but I surely wasn't out to harm others. That's what prison is for, for the ones out preying on others. Not the ones who may have got caught up in traps or addictions. And again is my only beef with this sheriff. He is either highly ignorant which is no excuse for his position or lies and twist the the truth of drugs. Drugs do not make people bad. People make people bad. Guns don't kill people. It takes an action of a human to make a gun kill someone. Drugs don't kill. It takes an action of a human to over ingest drugs to kill. I'll end with this. Everyone should know the real reason the whole war on drugs was created. Its far more sinister than what they want you to believe. It wasn't about the drugs. Drugs have been around for thousands of years and will always be around . Good source of revenue to an empire is what it became but if you research you will find it had more to do with racism at first. Please do your own research and find the truth out for yourself. Don't just now down to a system that is raping our liberties away seemingly by the day. If it's not already too late it surely will be when we are nothing but their robots. Make a stand for what is right! And dig your feet into the ground to oppose that which is trying to oppress us all..

@@singaporesammy I agree, it seems really strange. Police departments are usually reserved when it comes to releasing information about ongoing investigations especially internal investigations but this Sheriff is singing like a canary. He discloses how every arrest ever made by these officers which involved property confiscation will be investigated. Then he says the charges to the suspects these officers arrested will be dropped because the officer's integrity is too questionable. Also they're working with their finance department to reimburse the stolen money. Then the Sheriff says we suspect one of the arresting officers stole the money.
@@jennifercunha2539 no he’s not “always” straight forward. He’s tainted a couple jury pools by declaring people as guilty when the evidence was not fully collected. He’s correct in this situation, but not always.

The problem is this is just throwing three people under the bus to regain your trust. Its all a selected message. The liberals terrorized ya, made you scared and are trying to make you feel safe under the crooked government
@anna crime why are you making so many assumptions? You're brainwashed to think all sensible people follow whatever people you have heard of in your ignorant life
Sadly, training isn't the issue. You can't easily train adults to be honest. That starts as a child, and is taught as they grow. If people never learn consequences, then they will end up corrupted and filthy like these criminal scum. I see it all the time in this day and age where parents either are afraid to punish their children or they just ignore them as they are biting, kicking, throwing things, and screaming in the supermarket. You have seen those brats, right? If you do, tell their parents to discipline their children if they value their lives, because these kids will grow up to be useless criminals who have no moral guidance.
Never before heard anything like this from any chief of police. Standing up for the rule of law without fear or prejudice. Fucking hands together for this guy
Sheriff Grady does a lot more for not just Polk County. He's put together some damned impressive state wide raids to clean up other states as well. I love his sarcasm when he jokes about thieves posting their loot on social media. Guy had me in tears laughing.
This is the same Sheriff for that incident where a mother was ran over by a group of kids who stormed in her house to beat up her son. This guy is amazing! You should check out that press conference as well. He needs a raise! (Edit) And he had the visuals in that press conference too. Lol.
More like if the BS media outlets reported Nation wide instances like this as well as the 1000's of other cases where LEO's went above and beyond the call of duty maybe they'd get the public trust back that they never deserved to loose in the first place!
@@itsdirtycivilian2U let me guess your a Leo. We watch cops on RUclips and we can see what police do.There’s a problem! Did they get arrested? Did they give them all lie detector test? Until qualified immunity is gone,there will be continued abuse!
I’d still be a cop if I’d worked for a man like this sheriff. Twenty years; forced to retire in retaliation for reporting 3 cops that fabricated evidence and while being paid to set up and arrest a citizen. I got the charges against the citizen dismissed and two of the three cops fired, but forced out of my position in retaliation for blowing the whistle.
until they stop arresting people for drugs then it's not gonna get better either. this is good, yeah. but not what it should be. those officers should never have been able to arrest her to begin with. it's wrong to punish people for consuming a chemical, regardless how harmful. they're not hurting you or anyone else and if they are then we already have laws for violence.
Hardly, look at this from a 10 mile point of view. Police officers find an obvious drug dealer. Justice system fails and the felony offense from the drug dealer is dropped to a misdemeanor, which is wrong. One of the police officers took the drug money for himself, and his buddies pleaded the fifth because of loyalty. Sheriff now releases the obvious drug dealer without charges, and gives the drug dealer their illegal drug money back. If only that sheriff were as hard on drug dealers that actually harm the community as he is on officers that aren't a threat to public safety. Think about that.
@@BoopSnoot You do understand that in your timeline the officer who took the $ caused the case to be dropped and the $ returned right? So it would be the officers fault that this person isn't charged right? This also affects every case that these 3 officers have worked recently. 100's if not 1000's of cases will be affected by the thievery, deceit and ineptitude of these cops. What would you expect, 1 week suspension with pay? a promotion? I won't even get into the hypocrisy of a felony drug case for an organic plant that is legal in 1/2 the US. One that presidents have admitted smoking. Elon Musk smoked on a podcast and he is considered to be a genius of sorts. At this point in human history, the only people that can still believe weed is the devil drug is sheeple that have been unfortunately raised in religious homes and brainwashed into some crazy crazy ideas. Or maybe 60+ and raised during the propaganda era of things like the "Reefer Madness" movie that has aged so well ;)
Sounds a bit slow to me. And why is he impugning the reputations of all 3 Officers, and threatening all 3 with jail before, obviously, carrying out a rudimentary investigation. Perhaps one of the Officers took the money. Perhaps a civilian worker took it. Either way, might be because your hero runs a sloppy operation.
As for dropping all the charges against the drug dealer and repaying her ill-gotten gains, it's a joke. Only the criminally naive could admire anything about this farrago of 'justice'. You lot aren't the missing Biden voters by any chance?
@@lordtaliesin5678 Your ignorance of the law, poor listening skills, poor grammar, and negative attitude are quite evident and on display here. Perhaps you'd be better to keep quiet and risk being thought a fool, as opposed to sharing your thoughts and, thereby, removing all doubt.

It clearly demonstrates your impartial treatment of those who break the law...even if it's your own people. This kind of transparency and accountability strengthens the public support and trust. It's an embarrassing situation for your department, but rather than hide and sweep it under a rug, you owned it, AND CORRECTED IT.

@@ianbattles7290 If you have drugs that aren't considered to be for personal use, and a bunch of cash, that's evidence not proof. If you deliver pizzas and don't have drugs with you, it's not.

"Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching." - C.S. Lewis
Thank you Sherriff
Especially when no one is watching
I agree with the top part. However I believe someone is always watching even when it may seem nobody is watching. Your better and worse self is watching. What is fed most grows stronger. As far as the thank you sheriff part goes I'll try not to disagree to much. Cause he does seem to do his part. I just can't stand it when he twist facts of a few bad apples as examples into his sham war on drugs campaign like he does. That in itself should be criminal and should be held accountable and put behind bars. Just like the system profits from people's "health conditions" such as addiction instead of being decent folks and help get back on track to lead a more healthier and positive life style. Do you know how many people have life sentences for something that can't hurt anyone without am action of a human behind it? Such as drugs and guns? Yet the real problems like pedophilia are out harming children everyday. That get a small portion of the time. I know I have 3 years clean from heroin. I also been to prison along with the offenders/predators that caused my pain to want to try managing with drugs in the first place. Not saying that I was an angel but I surely wasn't out to harm others. That's what prison is for, for the ones out preying on others. Not the ones who may have got caught up in traps or addictions. And again is my only beef with this sheriff. He is either highly ignorant which is no excuse for his position or lies and twist the the truth of drugs. Drugs do not make people bad. People make people bad. Guns don't kill people. It takes an action of a human to make a gun kill someone. Drugs don't kill. It takes an action of a human to over ingest drugs to kill. I'll end with this. Everyone should know the real reason the whole war on drugs was created. Its far more sinister than what they want you to believe. It wasn't about the drugs. Drugs have been around for thousands of years and will always be around . Good source of revenue to an empire is what it became but if you research you will find it had more to do with racism at first. Please do your own research and find the truth out for yourself. Don't just now down to a system that is raping our liberties away seemingly by the day. If it's not already too late it surely will be when we are nothing but their robots. Make a stand for what is right! And dig your feet into the ground to oppose that which is trying to oppress us all..

@@singaporesammy this sheriff all ways is straight forward
Hear, Hear.
@@singaporesammy I agree, it seems really strange. Police departments are usually reserved when it comes to releasing information about ongoing investigations especially internal investigations but this Sheriff is singing like a canary. He discloses how every arrest ever made by these officers which involved property confiscation will be investigated. Then he says the charges to the suspects these officers arrested will be dropped because the officer's integrity is too questionable. Also they're working with their finance department to reimburse the stolen money. Then the Sheriff says we suspect one of the arresting officers stole the money.
@@jennifercunha2539 no he’s not “always” straight forward. He’s tainted a couple jury pools by declaring people as guilty when the evidence was not fully collected. He’s correct in this situation, but not always.
Grady Judd what a true great American thank you for your service
This video was posted 2 years ago. I’m curious about the end story. What finally happened to these officers in court. If found guilty, what were their punishments.
A solid round of applause for this man of integrity.
Hello Wendy! Can I ask you a question?
I'm nearly speechless. I didn't know such a thing as an honest cop even existed.
Sadly he is in the minority.
Why is no one talking about how these 3 brave officers overcame racial barriers to commit this crime together?
Truly an inspiration.
I'm actually tripping myself right now. I don't think this is for show either.
Thugs and crack heads
@@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing you are an asshole

WOW, let's get this Sheriff training all the other Sheriffs, this is an honest man who knows what his job is all about.
I would love to see him run for Governor next year. That office could do with a heaping cup of transparency
Sadly, training isn't the issue. You can't easily train adults to be honest. That starts as a child, and is taught as they grow. If people never learn consequences, then they will end up corrupted and filthy like these criminal scum. I see it all the time in this day and age where parents either are afraid to punish their children or they just ignore them as they are biting, kicking, throwing things, and screaming in the supermarket. You have seen those brats, right? If you do, tell their parents to discipline their children if they value their lives, because these kids will grow up to be useless criminals who have no moral guidance.
Unfortunately he is one of the very very few.
He’d make a great Governor, but he’s said he’s happy where he’s at. He’s a Sheriff for life.
You don't know him
Never before heard anything like this from any chief of police. Standing up for the rule of law without fear or prejudice. Fucking hands together for this guy
Yea, me too, who the hell needs proof anymore.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am clapping
Amen amen amen 🙏🙏🇺🇸
I wonder if the guy hit a fellow officer then exited the car would it be ok for a cop to shoot him?
Gotta love this sheriff. If every town in America had one just like him, we would have a much safer country.
Quite possibly the greatest Sheriff in the nation.
More Sheriffs Offices need to follow this - keeping the public informed.
I was against this guy for blasting photos but he keeps the same energy with ALL criminals. I can only respect him
Sheriff Grady does a lot more for not just Polk County. He's put together some damned impressive state wide raids to clean up other states as well. I love his sarcasm when he jokes about thieves posting their loot on social media. Guy had me in tears laughing.
He seems like a decent cop, I honestly hope that he's a good person and can end his career on a good note.
@@jeremiah1966 I know right

You are an outstanding number 1 person Sheriff of Polk county. Your awesome ! Keep up the GREAT WORK.
I’d still be a cop if I’d worked for a man like this sheriff. Twenty years; forced to retire in retaliation for reporting 3 cops that fabricated evidence and while being paid to set up and arrest a citizen. I got the charges against the citizen dismissed and two of the three cops fired, but forced out of my position in retaliation for blowing the whistle.
And people wonder where the good cops are. They are pushed out. What a shame. Thank you for doing the right thing.

until they stop arresting people for drugs then it's not gonna get better either. this is good, yeah. but not what it should be. those officers should never have been able to arrest her to begin with. it's wrong to punish people for consuming a chemical, regardless how harmful. they're not hurting you or anyone else and if they are then we already have laws for violence.
@@Astares9 Until religion is separated from politics we will continue to have laws against drugs.
I love how fair, clear headed, and thorough this Sheriff is, we need this type of leadership and integrity in our Police force across the country!❤️🦋🙏
Hardly, look at this from a 10 mile point of view. Police officers find an obvious drug dealer. Justice system fails and the felony offense from the drug dealer is dropped to a misdemeanor, which is wrong. One of the police officers took the drug money for himself, and his buddies pleaded the fifth because of loyalty. Sheriff now releases the obvious drug dealer without charges, and gives the drug dealer their illegal drug money back. If only that sheriff were as hard on drug dealers that actually harm the community as he is on officers that aren't a threat to public safety. Think about that.
@@BoopSnoot You do understand that in your timeline the officer who took the $ caused the case to be dropped and the $ returned right?
So it would be the officers fault that this person isn't charged right?
This also affects every case that these 3 officers have worked recently. 100's if not 1000's of cases will be affected by the thievery, deceit and ineptitude of these cops. What would you expect, 1 week suspension with pay? a promotion?
I won't even get into the hypocrisy of a felony drug case for an organic plant that is legal in 1/2 the US. One that presidents have admitted smoking. Elon Musk smoked on a podcast and he is considered to be a genius of sorts. At this point in human history, the only people that can still believe weed is the devil drug is sheeple that have been unfortunately raised in religious homes and brainwashed into some crazy crazy ideas. Or maybe 60+ and raised during the propaganda era of things like the "Reefer Madness" movie that has aged so well ;)
This Sheriff is truly a good man who taked his oath of office seriously and does a great job.
Yes!!👍
Sounds a bit slow to me. And why is he impugning the reputations of all 3 Officers, and threatening all 3 with jail before, obviously, carrying out a rudimentary investigation. Perhaps one of the Officers took the money. Perhaps a civilian worker took it. Either way, might be because your hero runs a sloppy operation.
As for dropping all the charges against the drug dealer and repaying her ill-gotten gains, it's a joke. Only the criminally naive could admire anything about this farrago of 'justice'. You lot aren't the missing Biden voters by any chance?

While I don't normally like seeing corrupt police stories(since there are so many exemplary cop stories that go unreported on social media), this report gives you great credibility. It clearly demonstrates your impartial treatment of those who break the law...even if it's your own people. This kind of transparency and accountability strengthens the public support and trust. It's an embarrassing situation for your department, but rather than hide and sweep it under a rug, you owned it, AND CORRECTED IT. It speaks of not only your character, but to the men and women who honorably serve under you, and to those who might wish to serve under you in the future.

"Dime chick"? Really? Hell, I've got a dime, let's do this.

Plot Twist: Sheriff Judd actually took the money. Judd told the 3 officers to make a deal with him on this one and so they agreed too take this lesser punishable crime so that Judd wouldn't report them for the worser crimes that he has evidence of them doing in the past.
Good job. God bless usheriff

So...tell me Sheriff, how is my legitimate, taxed income "evidence of drug dealing"?
@@ianbattles7290 If you have drugs that aren't considered to be for personal use, and a bunch of cash, that's evidence not proof. If you deliver pizzas and don't have drugs with you, it's not.

Integrity is EVERYTHING!!! You are correct!
I get what your saying but is court cost worth all this. The tax payer is paying for all this bs. Fire them problem solved. It honestly sounds like they lost the money then tried to replace it. The biggest crime they can be proven of is trying to cover it up. It’s gonna go to court with police Union lawyers it’s gunna be a he said she said type deal and there not gunna have enough evidence to get anyone. Just wasting the courts time. On paper it’s sounds like a dream world arresting them and upholding integrity but the reality is it’s not practical.
