You left out how Proctor's text messages discussed how they manipulated the medical examiner to get the result they wanted.
They tried to manipulate her, but to her credit she didn’t change the finding, which prompted Proctor to call her “a whack job.”
I don't get the impression she is bullied easily. When asked if she felt pressured, she said no, and that SHE is responsible.
If a subordinate (Proctor) is considered a bad apple and his fellow troopers and 2 supervisors were in that text group not calling out Proctor for his text messages, but even "liked" the message then the bad apple really started from the top. For a subordinate to have the temerity to act like that with supervisors means it is a behavior from the top passed down to the subordinates.
Exactly. It’s like Slushy Gate. Two officers were driving around recording themselves throwing slushy drinks on random citizens, then Driving away in unmarked cars. They sent those videos to every other officer in the department who knew about it for 2 years. The only way this came out to the public was because of an unrelated federal investigation
Exactly. A barrel of bad apples.
It’s not “one bad apple”. The whole orchard is infested.
It’s a culture problem.
The fact he felt comfortable sending those to he bosses and colleagues say it all. He had her guilty from the start of his so called investigation. Frame job is more accurate.
Guilt by association?
I'm sure you know some bad apples. Are you guilty because of that?
@@TallulahSoie bad Association spoils useful habits and if you witness these so-called bad apples do something inhuman or hurt someone in word or deed and you don't say anything you're just as bad as they are you're just as complicit!
@@TallulahSoie so you’re either a liar, dumb or both.
The texts he sent were to his bosses and underlings and no one stopped him, told him it was wrong or corrected him.
Which means they agreed with him and it happens regularly.
I’m betting your problem is both. Liar AND dumb.
@@TallulahSoieif there are 4 cops standing around while 1 bad cop does bad things, then you have 5 bad cops.
The Governor needs to make sure that heads roll.
He texted that the homeowner had nothing to worry about because he was a Boston PD.
one bad apple? you're not listening to your report?
Is no one concerned about operating government vehicles while under the influence? That state is so backward
There is definitely something shady about this case and the hands of others are dirty
The only thing shady is read and her lawyers!
Shame on you trooper proctor
When does the judicial review start?
They've investigated themselves & found they did nothing wrong.
Case Dismissed
One bad apple when his supervisors were involved? Can someone point out the state police officer involved who isn't a bad apple?
The ring video of her returning home after dropping him at 34 Fairview was recorded by a trooper as a time marker and then the video “became” deleted. Likely it showed the condition of the taillight. This case gets better and better
@alldreams13
The video of her leaving in the morning going to look for him, shows both tail lights intact, and lit up red as she left the garage area.
The dighton cop saw the tail light and said it was cracked and 1 piece missing.
He had to hate her in order to frame her. Made himself hate her, found reasons to, so he could live w/ himself.
Zero tail light was found during the first search of the scene. The scene was NOT secured or protected.
There was tons of evidence that John had been inside Brian Albert's house & not struck by a car - but cops opted not to look for it. Had investigators so much as LOOKED through the Albert residence (basement), and perhaps separated every witness from one another to be interviewed ALONE, a huge puddle of blood would have been found inside. They never looked! They let the witnesses conspire alone together and be interviewed together (within earshot).
They never filmed an interview. There are no signed witness statements. There are NO PIX of the tail light prior to being taken to the Lallyport. They provided crappy video footage with 42 minutes missing.
There was a lead investigator who hated the defendant, disrespected her openly among his colleagues, and objectified her - A lead investigator who cannot be objective, who's a part of a family that has a decades-long friendship with the owner of the home where John's body was found & who never treated any other witness as a potential suspect, despite being told by Karen from day 1 that John was inside the Albert home & had been beaten up by Colin & Brian Albert.
When anyone says there's no evidence that John was inside that house, they must be reminded that there was, actually. Karen told them he was inside the house. Rather than verifying whether he was or wasn't by doing a proper search, cops just decided not to believe her & instead chose to believe the Alberts & McCabes (because of the bias they had from jump).
Spot on it disgusting
During the court hearing I heard evidence that he wasn't in the house, I heard no evidence that he was in the house.
Coruptachusetts!
💯
I don’t trust the Medical Examiner or State Police Detectives, they didn’t do their job when it came to hospital staff beating and killing my mom. Medical Examiner said she was on our side and believed they killed, said she would change ruling if I provided proof my mom had no bruises prior to Sturdy Hospital, we provided proof from a doctor at Sturdy and she still remained neutral just like this case “ UNDETERMINED “ only 1.9% are ruled undetermined and of those 98% are suspected homicides. The DA and State Police didn’t do their job and violated my mother’s rights. We will get justice 3/23/2026 in Superior Court Justice for Carol Smith 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I Don’t understand how they still have him as the lead on this case. WTH , he’s under internal investigation, take him off the case at least.
Absolutely! This is disgusting
He's the lead on the case because he did nothing wrong except show his disdain for read in some text messages.
@@jaynepetersen454 perhaps that’s the case. An internal investigation should bear that out then, and I’m all about innocent until proven guilty . My point is , the optics of being the lead on a case while you’re being internally investigated , for that specific case, is a bad look for the whole department. The Justice department is investigating every aspect of this case. You would think they would take some heat off the department to just take him off the case as they are investigating.
Arrogance
Proctor from Police Academy???
Trooper Proctor is still finding pieces of broken taillight. Trooper Proctor has now found enough pieces to make four complete Lexus taillights. /sarc
Protor was using his personal phone for work…so he had to turn it over. I can’t remember my source, so take that in to consideration.
No. The phone records came from the feds. They pulled all that stuff while doing their investigation, which is still ongoing. Counsel got all those records via the Touhy documents. They are allowed to use the material but they can't mention to the jury where it came from.
Source: Trust me, Bro
Massachusetts state troopers do come across as bullies , that has been my experience. They have been gruff , hostile over small traffic infractions.
can't forget who uncovered trooper gate :)
🐢🐢🐢🐢
"One bad apple...." HOW CAN YOU BREATHE WITH YOUR HEAD SO FAR UP YOUR RECTUM???
If he was involved in ANY case at all that put somebody away in prison, ya might wanna look through everything once again. Unbelievable!!!
Sir, it was stated in court that Proctor had used his personal phone to send a couple of texts instead of his work one regarding the case. This then opened it up to the defense team
nd the Governor didn't know this dept was 'like this"?
Where is the Governor where is the Secretary of ,Public safety will discuss when she is running for re-election maybe if she stayed in state and not on tens of thousands of $ junkets there would not be the problem proctor needs to be demoted or dismissed it's all arrogants and i sm s former police officer
Personal text messages are fair game when you use your personal cell phone for work, or your work phone for personal calls/texts
It is clear there's going to shut it under the carpet to safe the shame of the cover-up
Governor Healy, what say you????
The woman in the white suit: She's posing as a journalist, in which someone pays her to communicate with her audience in English. Yet, she fails her task through her employment of horrible grammar. She should know the difference between the noun, amount, and the idiom, number of. This is grammar school stuff, yet she does not. If you are paid to do a job, then do the best job you can. Hit the books, madam. The flaws in your foundational education are showing.
Proctor said on the stand it was his personal phone.
Who cares! It’s disgusting. Simple
I was answering a prior comment on whether it was his personal or business phone.
There is no professionalism in any workplace anymore. There's no integrity. Some people do not even know what integrity is. Integrity is when you do the right thing even if nobody is watching. I watch a lot of videos and all the ladies are wearing jeans in the top inside their official office. It is not dressed down Friday anymore it is just dressed down and come to work. Treat the citizens however you want to. It's sickening
As expensive as most jeans are, they is not dress down.
Sick trooper.
Proctor and Gamble.
mass is TINY
It's evidence
So much for DEI BS!
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Fake news says what?
l want more evidence
Why is everyone focused on the detectives' texts and not what the girlfriend did to Mr O'Keefe ??
Because the evidence shows she didn't do it
Are you serious?!! This trooper is scum...and you are more interested in accusing Karen Reed without any credible evidence that
she did anything to cause Officer (not Mr) O Keefe's death.
She did do it. Haven't you been listening? For starters she said she did it
@@debbiehall7016 she also said he was beat up inside. You chose to only hear what you wanted.
We cant trust the evidence bc the investigation, the crime scene investigation and the changing witnesses statements can’t be trusted. Plus we don’t even have a medical examiners report yet…
Oh please, coworkers always make fun with coworkers, has nothing to do with the fact that she was pissed and drunk and ran john over!
This is not just some garage or a Burger King!! These are the very people investigating a supposed murder!!! Get real!!
"john"
Impossible to have been MV accident. John's injuries were to his Head & Face & arm only. None to his torso or legs, blood stain running down the center of his hooded shirt prove a bloody nose while upright. Laceration on BACK of head, yet he was found FACE UP, Arm puncture lacerations are obviously dog teeth wounds that have no possible motor vehicle-related cause as there was NO human DNA located on the undercarriage of Karen's car. No glass found on the bumper matched John's drinking glass.
There was tons of evidence that John had been inside Brian Albert's house and not struck by a car - but cops opted not to look for it. Had investigators so much as LOOKED through the Albert residence (basement), and perhaps separated every witness from one another to be interviewed ALONE, a huge puddle of blood would have been found inside.

@ThatRedhedd everything you wrote is mere speculation on your part. There was no canine DNA found on his body or clothing , Karen took the two women directly to the body even though it was covered in snow, then she ran around telling numerous people that she hit him. This case is so much like the Casey Anthony case, defense trying the case with the public, throwing out accusations and crap against the wall to see what sticks. Karen and turtle boy conspiring by accusing everyone else but not naming anyone. She may get off but she's guilty! You might want to listen to the facts of the case instead of spewing out rumors.
@@jaynepetersen454Nothing like the Casey Anthony case. The fact that the body was found at a home of someone the Trooper personally knew is an automatic recusal from his role in the case. Which is why the Feds are investigating it now. Now it was a mistrial because this whole case was screwed up by the same Trooper you seem to personally defend.
What is the propaganda for today?
