This is great reporting. You didn't take an incompetent police chief's word, you found the truth, and exposed his incompetence, and how dangerous it is to the public.
Gets reports saying "no integrity" and "can't be truthful", should be grounds for immediate termination. But obviously the chief is fine with officers behaving like that.
Are there no standards to hiring someone as a police officer? Come on. Is this the great America?? Hiring people who are not qualified to be a police officer??
except they didn't get those reports before hiring the guy. I wouldn't be surprised if they take just about anyone into the force, these days. Who would want to become a cop when you can be charged for murder and everything else when you do your job as trained?
@@wellbbq Jesus man, way to ruin the joke. The lead paint chips were the only ones that little kids had a problem eating because the lead made the paint chips taste sweet. That's the only reason they took the lead out.
They caught him lying about other recruits to get them reprimanded and everyone that becomes a cop is aware of the Golden rule in most police departments, DON'T POLICE THE POLICE
My compliments on your knowledge of this statute. Felony convictions - which strip them of their ability to work in law enforcement and to ever legally own a firearm - are the only thing that will ever stop this kind of behavior. Oh, by the way, I am biased about this kind of thing … I’m a retired cop. These nutjobs should never have been given badges in the first place.
TO ALL CHIEFS, BEFORE YOU SEND A MAN OUT INTO YOUR COMMUNITY WITH A GUN, POWER TO ARREST AND TAKE A LIFE YOU SHOULD KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM. AS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING YOUR DEPARTMENT DOES
Good on them...that narcissist pathological liar police chief thinks his job was to lie about everything to hide his truth of being an extremely poor leader not fit to oversee humans or animals.
Get these Corrupt 👮 in Prison in the General Population. To see if they keep that same Energy. They won't have any weapons to use in there. They'll hide like Coward's in Protective Custody 🤣 🐓🐔🦃
It's the problem you get when they give them the authority to carry their service weapon 24hrs a day. In our country a cop can not carry a weapon when off-duty. When off-duty here you are a citizen and can only step in when a life threatening situation occurs. Even then they are not armed and must weigh up the risk.
@@fireskycam9889 Doesn't matter if you're on duty or off duty there's a thing in this country called the 2nd amendment even citizens can carry firearms learn the Constitution
This is why cops should have insurance like doctors. A cop who has been with four different departments would definitely have so high a premium that he couldn’t afford to be a cop; or would be uninsurable.
It actually used to be impossible (at least in California) to get rehired by another department after leaving one under a cloud. The reason being is that any another agency saw you as a potential liability. However, that no longer appears to be the case as the police unions have a lot more control of city councils now.
@@kennethsouthard6042 And there lies the problem. Just as long as cops are free to go to multiple agencies; nothing will change. And it puts control of the departments back in the hands of the people; not the unions. Individual insurance puts the burden on the cop; not the taxpayers. After all; nobody has a divine right to wear a badge.
8 years to be a lawyer with no gun 6 months Academy to be a cop there's a big problem there And everything needs to be reported to post any type of negative counseling statement needs to be reported to post
I’m copying and pasting my comment from one of the other clips from this incident…I had to go through an extensive background check when I applied to a sheriff department. If an agency agrees to hiring a person after said person refuses to allow a background check, that agency shouldn’t exist. I also think officers shouldn’t be allowed to resign to stop being fired for their actions. Whether they resign or are fired, they still need to be arrested and charged for those actions if any laws were broken. You and I couldn’t assault someone at our jobs and resign instead of being fired, thus dropping any charges we might get for breaking the law. I am pro LE, but I believe qualified immunity needs to stop. Make officers carry malpractice insurance. Stop paying settlements with taxpayers money to keep the incident out of court. Officers should be held to a higher standard. They are sworn to uphold the law. Giving them a pass and allowing them to resign is absolutely disgusting. There also needs to be a national data base that tracks personal and their files.
And yet, though all of that makes perfect sense to about 95 percent of us, we cannot seem to get these policy changes made. Because, republicans, democrats, and billionaires like it the way it is.
I actually really like the malpractice insurance idea, because if any mistakes that the officers make could come out of their own pockets instead of the cities then maybe they would think twice about doing something wrong, i mean there is always going to be people who just dont care, like this officer would probably still do this same thing but i think alot of other officers would, and then if they cant get insurance they would get fired, kind of would take care of its self in a way
PF Dang-A-Lang...Exactly!! His photo shows some obvious deficits, & then his behavior actually proved this, i.e. inability to comprehend police procedures, no integrity, low scores on police tests, etc..The chief who hired this ticking time bomb failed to do his due diligence & decided too put the public at risk & in danger by giving this man a job that comes with the power to kill people!!!!
It used to be " PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD, now it,s " GET ON THE GROUND "! That way they get to SLAM 5 knees into your back and kidneys...and NECK!
Troubling past! Another way of stating red flags that was igornored by the department and covered up and condoned. This is why no department should be able to investigate there own. So true if you even apply for a job as a citizen your previous employer is contacted. This chiefs reasoning is unexceptable there's less background checks for officers who carry a gun and badge. This officer should never been hired at any department taking a little time to research would have shown this period. If the public can get those training documents it would have taken just a little time for this department to have found the same information.
When they call a previous employer, they're only allowed to ask TWO specific questions??? Let me guess -- that's a rule put in place by the police unions. What utter B.S.
This is outrageous 😳 😤 having worked in compliance for many years in the UK, even volunteering in a charity shop one would be required to provide more documentation than Mr Ward did and to say he was employed in such a high risk job (working with vulnerable people) is disgusting 😠
@@rrussell9731 I don’t about that anymore. We all need to be humbled. Im ok with being humiliated, although I don’t think I would call it that anymore. If I need to see myself, I shall be grateful for any experience. I do not desire to cause anymore division amongst humanity. I’ve done enough damage, surely. My anger for this is gone, replaced by deep understanding. At least that’s how I feel at this moment. Oh, if we could only bestow compassionate understanding upon the whole planet. That is, choose to see others as their higher selves, even in their worst moments. I guess I’ll go back and watch this again. I’m just going off memory of this video right now.
When Alabama and Florida are in the same story, you know its going to be hillbilly gold!! He'll get hired at the next hillbilly department. We haven't seen the last of white Mr. Potato Head!😂😂😂😂
That is why a national database of law enforcement officer's who've had their peace officer license temporarily or permanently revoked/suspended, or exhibit a pattern of reported misconduct needs to be implemented. In this way, law enforcement agencies should be REQUIRED to query the national database on any and all subsequent applicants applying for a sworn law enforcement position. This would catch would-be bad apples before they're hired on.
They should've hired Hannibal Lecter. He probably would've performed better. People who are insecure and lack confidence are more prone to pulling out a weapon😵 to make up the difference.
Your news channel is doing an amazing job of showing transparency for our elected officials and our public servants that are paid for by tax dollars. Thank you for helping to protect the citizens of this great country. Without investigative journalists such as yourselves we the people would be in serious trouble.
It's not complicated : tell a group of people (police) that they are for the most part "immune/exempt" from the very law that they are supposed to be enforce, and this "violent thug" is exactly what you will end up with to a considerable degree,...."remove the threat of punishment from man, and just watch his resultant behavior "
"Out of town and off duty" yet he still got his cop gun with him😕...Is it THAT HARD to pass law, about them turning in their guns when off duties AND when on call for a nonthreatening arrest??
Don't know where you're from, but in the US many departments have policies requiring officers to carry off duty. As far as passing a law, yes it is that hard. LEOSA is federal law that allows cops across the country to carry off duty.
Nevermind the logistics problem your suggestion creates. How would you know if an arrest is non-threatening until you're there and how would you go about turning in a gun prior to it?
He should not be allowed to resign he needs to have his law enforcement certification taken from him so he could never work in law-enforcement again, if not he will become a gypsy cop and go from town to town and continue with his crazy behavior
But there are people who will defend the system at all cost, when stories like this are the norm. THIS is why protests against police brutality and misconduct should be done, THIS is why questioning every police encounter is important, and THIS is why people will scream "ACAB" (All Cops Are Bad), because it's not just the individual, but the entire police department and infrastructure that protect these "bad apples" that consistently get caught.
