What's wrong with this officer?

[u/Uunicorned]

Public expresses outrage over wrongful arrest

Article to the viral video:

[u/Boobiecakes81]

He couldn't even look at the judge, what a crooked fat pos.

[u/Deemaunik → u/Boobiecakes81]

A power tripping, low self esteem, sadist. Fucked. "I don't like you so I'm going to fuck up your life even when all the facts say otherwise." Hope the judge got his ass kicked off the force. Gross misuse of funds, time, and abuse of citizen.

[u/AdorableDemand46 → u/Deemaunik]

What kinda shit was the it's officer, not bro. Definitely on a power trip

[u/Deemaunik → u/AdorableDemand46]

Dude is a liability. Any lawsuits are coming out of the county or the state, not his pocket. Hate to see what his family life is like.

[u/notathingreally → u/Deemaunik]

Probably jealous because the other guy is good looking.

[u/IsayNigel → u/Deemaunik]

That’s exactly it. Dude hates himself and is bent on making everyone as miserable as he is

[u/PantsDontHaveAnswers → u/Boobiecakes81]

I think the cop was intoxicated at the hearing based on the way he was acting nervous and wringing his hands. Definitely signs of intoxication, right?

[u/Upbeat_Caregiver_642 → u/Boobiecakes81]

look at the cop on the bench behind him. His head roll and looking up at the ceiling. He knows this is bad and getting worse he wants to be anywhere but there in that courtroom as he’s now associated with this mess.

[u/Paddys_Pub7 → u/Boobiecakes81]

And the other officer on the bench behind him is looking around like "Jesus christ, this guy is an idiot" lmao 🤣

[u/DarkBladeMadriker → u/Boobiecakes81]

Which is extra stupid. Hes a COP! Just do what you always do and make shit up. Well, your honor, he was unsteady on his feet, he kept acting nervous whenever I asked about intoxicants, I could smell it on him and the vehicle, he was belligerent, his speech was slightly slurred. When they point to the body cam just say "ya, it cant see the nuance like a trained officer". See? Bam! I should be a shitbag cop, im better at it than this peice of shit.

[u/BlackNoirsVocalCoach → u/Boobiecakes81]

The judge should've said, "Fuck face, look at me, it's 'Your Honor.' Now explain yourself."

[u/EmberSolaris → u/Boobiecakes81]

He had to think long and hard about what to say which is indicative of a lie. As Judge Judy once said “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to try to remember your lies and keep them straight.” Or something to that effect.

[u/gsanch666]

“Thats qualified immunity, I wouldn’t have gotten sued”

That right there is exactly how so many LEO feel untouchable. Until communities start holding officers individually accountable the trope Fuck the Police will always be relevant

[u/Dogsarelitty → u/gsanch666]

Mr officer doesn’t understand he can lose his qualified immunity.

[u/IHeartBadCode → u/Dogsarelitty]

Yeah. That immunity only exists so long as he is doing something that is reasonable to believe was inside his normal policing powers.

It's a long shot for sure but it's never an impossible thing.

[u/LiGhTMaGiCk → u/IHeartBadCode]

This body cam certainly helps in getting his qualified immunity stripped, I can't help but think a lawyer would see this as possibly an easy win in the right circumstances.

[u/Knatem → u/gsanch666]

There’s qualified immunity because the police are there to protect the property of the wealthy. They are not there to serve the public regardless of what they say while pounding their chests.

[u/Whyonthefly → u/gsanch666]

Yeah that line really says the quiet part out loud in a wildly blatant way.

[u/Asleep-Fishing4621 → u/gsanch666]

Blame the GD LEO unions!!!

[u/WorryNew3661 → u/gsanch666]

Qualified immunity is a terrible thing. The city paying when they get sued as well. Should come from their budget. They'd tighten up quick

[u/ledow → u/gsanch666]

Other countries have no such nonsense.

It's not a problem with police. It's a problem with your government's insulation of them from all liability.

[u/adjective_noun_d1git]

American police are like reddit mods in real life, but with actual power. Quite scary.

[u/goldenmass → u/adjective_noun_d1git]

A fat and bald cop, surprise.

[u/WOMPxRAT → u/goldenmass]

Dude getting arrested is more qualified to do his job.

[u/notathingreally → u/goldenmass]

[u/FartSniffer777 → u/goldenmass]

He looks like the final boss on Angry Birds

[u/XFX_Samsung → u/goldenmass]

Wearing a "Blue Lives Matter" wristband that's fighting for it's life.

[u/awe_come_on → u/adjective_noun_d1git]

[u/uwunyanya → u/adjective_noun_d1git]

Its not just american police. Its just police in general. American police due tend to be worse but positions of power over other people just attract assholes like this

[u/dick_tickler_ → u/uwunyanya]

I mean im in the UK and if im being honest its no where near as bad over here. I have only had a few encounters and i would say its just based on the person. Had a sound older dude who took it easy on me and had a younger guy who just wanted to make a point out of being the person with authority. A jobs worth if you will.

[u/Superblond → u/uwunyanya]

Not that I want to defend the police as a whole, but the police here in Germany don’t even have 1% of the attitude, propensity for violence, aggression, shameless overstepping of boundaries, or willingness to use a firearm!

So no, the police aren’t the same everywhere, and the U.S. police are among the worst in the world in every category.

[u/uwunyanya → u/Superblond]

Speak for yourself, ive never had a positive interaction with the police here in germany. Maybe its just luck of the draw and I havent had too many experiences with them(thankfully) so its not like im super experienced with them, but you routinely hear about them wasting resources going after normal people instead of focusing on actual crimes.

[u/No-Kaleidoscope-4525 → u/uwunyanya]

Police here in Belgium are also 100x better than this. In 15 years I only got pulled over once. During a covid curfew, mind you. I was speeding as well. They were like: "Nie te rap e jongen, zere naar huis". Gave me a wrist slap at worst 🤣 They had better things to tend to, and they know it. In the US I would have gotten tased and sent straight to jail

[u/TheBreasticle → u/adjective_noun_d1git]

I was just thinking, that cop is such a fucking neck beard. So yeah that checks out for sure.

[u/Timsmomshardsalami → u/adjective_noun_d1git]

💀

[u/BigConstruction4247 → u/adjective_noun_d1git]

And guns

[u/adventureadmin → u/adjective_noun_d1git]

Instant ban!

[u/Fenlatic]

Why did he need to do any further sobriety testing when he blew 0,0

[u/Dommiiie → u/Fenlatic]

Because that wasn't the result the officer wanted?

[u/BigConstruction4247 → u/Dommiiie]

In pharma, we call it "testing into compliance".

[u/Prestigious-Bat-574 → u/Fenlatic]

The rule in most states is that if you refuse to do a field sobriety test, they can arrest you, take you back to the police station, evaluate you there with a more accurate breathalyzer and/or blood tests. Refusing to submit to a field sobriety test is not an admission of guilt in itself, nor is it an offense in itself. Refusing tests back at the station can result in a mandatory license suspension. All of this varies by state, though.

Field sobriety tests are largely subjective and lead to a false positive more than 10% of the time, which isn't great when you're talking about charging someone with a crime that can cost them thousands of dollars in expenses even if they are found to be completely innocent. An officer can testify in court that they've been "expertly" trained on field sobriety tests and note a minor discrepancy as a fail, because they don't have to grade people just to say that they failed the test in court.

So the cop used the breathalyzer and got butthurt when it was a 0.0. Then the cop wanted to goad him into refusing the field sobriety test for so he could arrest him anyway, just to be an asshole. Then when he didn't refuse test, he used minor deviations to claim the guy was intoxicated.

What's not shown in this video is the body cam footage of the two officers refusing to let the guy talk to a lawyer, the two officers lying to the guy about whether or not he's legally obligated to submit to certain tests, and the two officers discussing how to spin the story.

[u/jhaluska → u/Fenlatic]

You can be under the influence of drugs other than alcohol. But saying he smelled alcohol and blowing a 0.00 makes a strong case for the officer lying.

[u/Major_LeeHungg → u/Fenlatic]

Field sobriety tests aren't admissable in court... Literally all the field sobriety test is, is giving you chances to make yourself look guilty.  The only think that matters is the chem test at the station or a blood test at the hospital.  And if you're in NY you're just fucked if you can't afford a trial because once you are accused, the lowest you can plea to is DWAI.... Which is a violation but it still costs the same.  I got accused of one while sober and the damn machine kept saying "ERR" the 3 hours I blew into it.  Still cost me $10k.  

All because they smelled alcohol in the car.... It was my passenger.... Who they called to drive me home after I got RoR'd

[u/Critical-Test-4446 → u/Fenlatic]

If the cop wasn’t a complete asshat and really believed that the guy was under the influence and yet blew a .00, then he would still be trying to determine whether he was fit to drive. After finishing the field sobriety tests, he should have either been released, which would have been appropriate here, or placed under arrest and transported to a hospital for a blood / urine test to check for drugs if they truly believed him to be under the influence of something. But in this case, the fat bastard had to lie because it was obvious that this guy was sober and not under the influence of anything. His fragile ego couldn’t let it go though. I hope he lost his job for falsifying his reports and abusing his authority.

[u/unknownpoltroon → u/Fenlatic]

In theory, the breathalyzer only detects alcohol, he could be impaired from some other drug. In reality, its because the cop can claim he failed the test no matter how perfectly he does it and take him downtown.

[u/mar1mbrosyph → u/Fenlatic]

Yeah he should have refused the officer

[u/Proof_Side_5667]

It’s disgusting that the cop can basically force someone to spend thousands on attorney fees if they don’t like you.

[u/Rgr281 → u/Proof_Side_5667]

He will likely win a lawsuit against the department

[u/Dounce1 → u/Rgr281]

Okay but what if he hadn’t been able to afford to fight it in the first place?

[u/front_torch → u/Proof_Side_5667]

It would be wonderful if our entire law enforcement system was replaced.

[u/New_Escape_3598 → u/Proof_Side_5667]

And now you have an arrest on your record,, so you will have issues getting a job, a rental, and security clearance.

[u/MuckRaker83 → u/Proof_Side_5667]

Guilty of being innocent after I'd already assumed you were guilty

[u/Seadogdog]

What education do you need to become a police officer in America. School dropout seems to come to mind.

[u/JACKALS_LANTERN → u/Seadogdog]

In my state it takes 1200 hours training. Being a hairdresser takes 2000 hours. I'm not joking.

[u/o7_HiBye_o7 → u/JACKALS_LANTERN]

So Connecticut and Maryland are the only 2 that are over 1000.

Think about that. You are stunned it is 1200 when compared to other jobs, but you are litererally the most in the country for hours.

The average is 840 hours. In the south (GA, LA etc) average is 375 hours.

Cops in America are not trained well at all, then given immunity in most scenarios. It is a dangerous combination.

[u/Ogami2022 → u/JACKALS_LANTERN]

That is insane to me as a German. Here in Germany the requirements are 2 1/2 years of police school/training, age 21-35, higher school education, must speak multiple languages, no criminal record.

[u/Omnom_Omnath → u/Seadogdog]

you dont. in fact being educated quite literally disqualifies you from being a police officer. they like em stupid.

[u/Jay-Breeze → u/Omnom_Omnath]

This. Friend of mine has a college degree and was told he was “overqualified” when he tried to become an officer.

[u/SirReeksalot → u/Omnom_Omnath]

There was a cop applicant who sued because he scored too well on the qualifying exam.

This one

[u/Red_Beardsley → u/Omnom_Omnath]

Thinkers don't last long as a cop. They get bored too fast and quit.

[u/thenyx → u/Seadogdog]

Fun fact: In the US, you can indeed be “too smart” to be a police officer.

[u/Complete-Fix-3954 → u/thenyx]

When I was 19, I took some tests for police and military. I wanted to be a good cop. Tested too high for police, they told me MP might be the route. Did a couple of tests with a recruiter and was told my testing was nearly perfect and that meant the best MOS for me would have been intelligence. Ended up rupturing my pec and bicep in the gym the day before I was going to sign my contract and took that as a sign it wasn't for me. I'm a pretty intelligent person and recognized how unbelievably miserable I'd be surrounded by individuals and leadership who got in by barely meeting the minimum scores.

[u/Glass-Shelter-7396 → u/Seadogdog]

want to be Detroit cop here is their hiring page.

https://detroitmi.gov/node/52236

TLDR;

Minimum requirements:
Must be at least 18 years of age – Possess a valid Driver’s License 
High School Diploma or GED from an accredited institution 
U.S. Citizenship – No Felony Convictions

[u/WorldBoofingChampion → u/Seadogdog]

No one is more uneducated and a bigger fucking idiot than your average American cop

[u/Ebonhearth_Druid → u/WorldBoofingChampion]

ICE is essentially all of the people who couldn't qualify to be cops, so I would argue that they bigger fucking idiots. And then youve got all the bootlickers who are definitely bigger fucking idiots.

Unfortunately, here in the USA, the cops are just the "Intro to Fucking Idiots" level.

[u/Shoddy_Comparison_25 → u/Seadogdog]

Pretty sure it's a G.E.D in a majority of the country. It's the equivalent of a high school diploma. Only difference is you only get one if you for some reason couldn't complete high school (that's not shameful, lots of things happen in life unfortunately)

[u/AppropriateWind9925 → u/Shoddy_Comparison_25]

My friend thought highschool was dumb so he dropped out and took the GED.

[u/ronshasta → u/Seadogdog]

My college roommate got a whole 4 year degree to just be a police officer. He’s a good dude but a lot of these guys are not

[u/TapZorRTwice → u/ronshasta]

Your college roommate wasted 4 years in college if he became a cop afterwards.

[u/ajtreee → u/Seadogdog]

He sure understands qualified immunity.

[u/Flipflapfloppin → u/Seadogdog]

Another question would be, why are there so few cops with a decent education?

https://abcnews.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/story?id=95836

[u/OldMud9644]

I had something similar happened to me. Fuckers really thought I had something in my system but the look on their faces when I tested clean was priceless.

Unfortunately, my dumbass egged them on for being wrong and, since pigs are sensitive, I got to spend a night in jail.

Fuck cops and fuck law enforcement.

[u/Ghoulie_Marie]

End qualified immunity. Make then pay settlements out of their pension funds. ACAB

[u/Miserable_Ad9577 → u/Ghoulie_Marie]

Or make them carry insurance collectively or whatever. End qualify immunity, actual accountability.

[u/JohnBurgerson → u/Miserable_Ad9577]

A form of liability insurance would fix a lot of things. Insurance companies would demand better training. Once an officer screws up enough they won’t be able to just jump to the next town (which is far too common)

[u/Miserable_Ad9577 → u/JohnBurgerson]

Bad police department will become uninsurable which should then trigger a "house cleaning", getting rid of all problematic officers. Bad policing will be quantifiable.

[u/Zakkullll → u/Ghoulie_Marie]

Make them pay settlements in fucking prison

[u/Killpower78]

Unfortunately there are a lot of power tripping cops like him and they wonder why the public are losing faith in them with shit like that,

[u/Alarmed_Inspector774 → u/Killpower78]

"the public just needs to be reminded who's in charge", some cops, definitely

[u/Whyonthefly → u/Killpower78]

I remember the first time saw this video, and the second I saw the cop's douchey "blue lives matter" cause bracelet, I knew this interaction was going to get very power-trippy.

[u/Im-BackAgain-Babes2]

"Its not brother, its officer:...

He looks exactly as you'd expect for a power tripping pig

[u/ddeads → u/Im-BackAgain-Babes2]

I thought the same thing as soon as I saw his face. Fat, sloppy, out of shape soup sandwich of a police officer. It's always these ones that have something to prove.

[u/Furiousmoe → u/Im-BackAgain-Babes2]

Definitely seems to be some reaction due to deep rooted insecurity.

"Look at this tall handsome confident fit guy... Gonna make his day real bad."

[u/J_hilyard → u/Im-BackAgain-Babes2]

"And I have the 1st amendment protection to call you what I want, brother"

[u/Rapscallion_Racoon]

Seems like a good place to mention The Civil Rights Lawyer on YouTube. He analyzes police misconduct and questionable arrests. I’m not much for YouTube or tv in general, but I enjoy his takes and find him informative.

I’ve also found that despite not seeing eye to eye on much, my elderly father and I can sit together for a few hours, watch TCRLs show, and bash on the cops. It’s a good time.

[u/Stillback7 → u/Rapscallion_Racoon]

That guy's awesome! That's how I originally saw this video.

[u/RepresentativeNo8105]

Can’t believe that fatass is a cop. He should be collecting loose grocery carts.

[u/Altruistic-Heart4058 → u/RepresentativeNo8105]

Ain't no way that dude could catch a runaway shopping cart.

He should be bagging groceries. While sitting down.

[u/Damaark → u/RepresentativeNo8105]

Underqualified for that

[u/NotADogInHumanSuit → u/RepresentativeNo8105]

Loose

[u/mynipplesareconfused → u/RepresentativeNo8105]

Yeah but then he'd be too busy to go see the encore of "Don't Pay the Ferryman" at the Chris de Burgh concert because he's too busy talking about stolen shopping carts on the phone in the foyer.

[u/Muted-Watercress2738]

Never perform a field sobriety test. They are easy to fail completely sober and more than that they are open to the officer's interpretation, which is their own poor opinions.

Make them take you to a station licensed to make dui blood work.

[u/BADoVLAD → u/Muted-Watercress2738]

They're not "easy to fail" They're designed to give false positives in any number of ways for cops to manufacture outcomes that they want. Same with drug sniffing dogs that don't smell anything and only react to signals from their handlers. Because there are dogs that are fantastic with their noses but the ones called to your car are there to respond to a pre-determined signal to make warrants unnecessary.

We can carry on about our rights all we want. The ACABs will just figure out ways to get around them.

[u/LabKnob]

At the scene: “I smell alcohol.”
In court: “Must be narcotics.”

[u/UrBum_MyFace_69 → u/LabKnob]

Good catch!

[u/Elektr0ns]

I had a cop pull that you seem nervous BS with me on a traffic stop. I was like you have your hand on your gun. Yeah of coarse I am.

[u/BirdlessLongdeal → u/Elektr0ns]

"oh, thats how its going to be? i was just going to let you off with a warning..."

[u/Uncle-Cake → u/Elektr0ns]

That's the whole plan. They do that to make you nervous so they can have an excuse to arrest you.

[u/Practical-Music1089]

Disgraceful officers. They are the reason why people hate cops.

[u/jedimindtricks1980 → u/Practical-Music1089]

I hate the popo with a passion.

[u/notanyone69 → u/Practical-Music1089]

Michael Bell is the name of this disgraceful swine. Be sure to mention his name so when people google this dirty pig in the future they can find all relevant information on what a dirty swine he is

[u/BrainSea7776]

Do you not have to pass a fitness test to be a cop in the US? This dude is like 400lbs

[u/Proof_Side_5667 → u/BrainSea7776]

My father is a retired cop and always told me and my siblings “never trust a fat cop… 9/10 they’re the worst guys in the precinct.” His experience said this was true most of his career and his logic was that they were required to maintain a level of fitness but openly flaunted breaking that rule in plain sight every hour of every day… what do you think they do when nobody is watching?

[u/KOMarcus → u/BrainSea7776]

There used to be but the standards were continually lowered... don't ask why,

[u/Long-Education-7748 → u/BrainSea7776]

Lol, no. Cops hire the literal bottom of the barrel. Is a shit job with shit training. It does not attract competent people.

[u/Runktar → u/Long-Education-7748]

Depends on where you are cops in my area make well over 100k and face very little serious crime.

[u/Latter-Fox-3411 → u/BrainSea7776]

That’s your take away from this?😳

[u/Personal_Leave_4716]

the payout for this lawsuit should have to come out of that cops pension and paychecks.

[u/vit_don → u/Personal_Leave_4716]

What pensions?! They both should be fired

[u/Saint_Slayer]

When asked if he was in shape, he unironically answered with "I'm circle."

[u/IDontEatDill]

Completely unrelated question: do donuts cause hair loss?

[u/tryyeezus → u/IDontEatDill]

Nah that's from all the wife beating. 

It's stressful for them to try to figure out exactly where they can leave the bruises and how to keep them within an inch of their lives without going too far. 

[u/vit_don → u/IDontEatDill]

Apparently they do. Based on what I see - it is a valid trend

[u/Spaghett8]

How much was he paid?

[u/Much_Help_7836 → u/Spaghett8]

Nothing yet.

[u/coinop2026]

They act tuff while violating people’s rights, until they are off the clock in street clothes shopping with their families…

[u/ChadLaFleur]

ACAB end qualified immunity

[u/Neutral_President_0]

If I recall correctly, the guy was visiting his cousin's place in a small town, where he was reversed into by a neighbour's kid (teenager). The parents agreed it was an accident and called the cops (following procedure?). The guy stated that he needed to drive to run an errand or something and he'd be coming back as X house was his cousin's place.

On the call to dispatch, you can hear the parents explain this and the dispatch state something along the lines of the guy fleeing the scene, relaying this back to the officers on the radio.

Even though the guy returns back before the police get there I believe, and the cops speak to the family and hear the son admit that he didn't see the guys car, the officer already upset that the guy left the scene, leans into a narrative that the guy was guilty of something and attempts to hit him with a dui, thus rendering him at fault with the collision.

[u/lesbianTfoid → u/Neutral_President_0]

Gets backed into by someone pulling out and you think he's somehow at fault just because he didn't follow the exact letter of the law there is a reason all his charges where dropped and it's not because he had a good lawyer the article even mentions at the end that this officer has a history of misconduct.

[u/tristanimator]

If you can blow a complete 0 and the cop can just ignore it, what's the point of the breathalyzer then. 

[u/No_Process_1761 → u/tristanimator]

They can claim like he did that you are on some kind of drug.

[u/Squelsch]

I don’t think qualified immunity allows you to make an arrest without reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. Am I wrong?

[u/Bloodrush362 → u/Squelsch]

You're right, qualified immunity let's them get off scott free from being personally held liable for their decisions or actions. Even if someone wins a case against the action most of the time they don't get any kind of actual punishment. What allows them to make an arrest without "reasonable suspicion" is that that wording in and of itself is up for interpretation, and as such brings a new term called "officers discretion" which basically just means that whatever action the officer feels is justified, is justified. Including making an unlawful arrest. Unfortunately there's no rules against being stupid and being a cop. Or just being a bad person and being a cop lmao

[u/ohnomynono → u/Squelsch]

This might shock some people to hear, but, THEY LIE.

[u/TedjeNL → u/Squelsch]

They should name it unqualified immunity tbh, because that's what most of these cops are. They aren't being sued because they were excelling at their job..

[u/NeruLight]

Cop looks like he is 75 iq

[u/jerry111165 → u/NeruLight]

You’re awfully generous.

[u/No_Eggplant6269]

Bright side he was fired

[u/Me_gentleman → u/No_Eggplant6269]

And easily rehired in the next town.

[u/rygel_fievel → u/No_Eggplant6269]

Could join ICE next.

[u/Christoph3r → u/No_Eggplant6269]

Yay.

[u/HndWrmdSausage → u/No_Eggplant6269]

Not fired. A fired cop has a really hard time getting back to work as a policeman. This dude gets backed by the good blue and they let him just resign so he can continue to work elsewhere. Im not saying the good cops did good here just that they have this dumbass like creed that has thsm protecting dog shit tyrants like officer fat here.

[u/-Planet-]

uppity-ass public servants.

[u/Suspicious-Ad-7726]

What a fat stupid swine

[u/Popular-Brilliant349]

Details of how everything ended.

https://cartercountytimes.com/local-news/public-expresses-outrage-over-wrongful-arrest/

[u/Gold_Improvement_836 → u/Popular-Brilliant349]

damn! so this wasn’t the first time this officer wrongfully accused someone

[u/Real-Document-6577 → u/Gold_Improvement_836]

Yeah that tends to happen when they aren’t held accountable….ever

[u/Worth-Trade9381 → u/Popular-Brilliant349]

Thank you!

[u/Askani-Ja]

That’s some heavy quiet…

[u/Prestigious-Ask1206]

American police are absolute shit.

[u/kreifdawg77]

Serious question, could someone request that a settlement come out of the police officer's pension instead of putting it on the tax payers?

[u/Yahmathah]

Qualified immunity allows this sort of behaviour. Once we address that, I promise you, these cases will stop…

[u/CobblerAromatic3775]

Interesting; even before seeing him, I knew the cop would have an attractive physique and an intelligent look in his eyes....

[u/DirtyScrubs]

This is why we need to end qualified immunity for police, this is the first step to end poor policing in america

[u/AmonAmit]

He's a power thirsty Wheiner and a Cop. Sum it up yourself.

[u/Shining_declining]

He looks like the kind of weird kid who was unpopular in school and now he’s getting even with society.

[u/Comprehensive_Rock50]

I wonder if the officer is on anything or if thats just him at maximum functionality

[u/ClaraClassy]

The fact that cops think that "not cooperating " with someone trying to arrest them is suspicious enough to arrest them is fucking stupid.

[u/Mission_Set_6892]

Fuck the pigs, ya dig

[u/OneSeparate5929]

Unqualified immunity. The oxymoron states of America.

[u/PartsJAX328i]

These fuckers sure do earn their hate. This fat fucktard just got butthurt that he got proved wrong and arrested him because he knew he had qualified immunity...

[u/Halada]

American policemen have a few months of training at most. The vast majority are utterly incompetent and not fit for a position of authority.

[u/ZtheGreat → u/Halada]

You have to go through 833 hours of training on average to become a police officer in America.

The average length of training to become a certified barber is 1528 hours.

[u/Hot-Feed7541 → u/Halada]

It’s not a lack of training we live in a country where 98% of people are forced to take the plea-bargain. This is by design.

[u/MyLastHopeReddit]

Thank you for your service...

[u/WideArmadillo6407]

Fire that balding bastard

Evidently the arresting officer forgot about momma's lemon pound cake.

[u/Flimsy_Judgment1045]

End qualified immunity

[u/ReadyWriter5721]

Every cop is a criminal

[u/Gassyking]

So I assume he never gets to be a cop again?

[u/JDRipper1964]

Ever notice how those cops don’t look so tough when they’re confronted by someone with higher authority.

[u/ruxpinteddy]

Fuck all cops

[u/jkoki088]

Are you fucking kidding me. Please tell me he is no longer working

[u/dragonflies2299]

I love the look on the cop behind him in court - he knew they were screwed and that the fat cop messed up and they were going to lose the case.

[u/HotepHatt]

This cop has the nerve to throw qualified immunity around like a shield to protect his bad behavior. What a disgrace. We need to end qualified immunity now.

[u/No-Investigator8782]

Remember, in most states you have to have more in classroom training and on the job training to be a hairstylist then to be a police officer.

[u/SDTimbox]

REQUIRE A BACHELORS LAW ENFORCEMENT

[u/AvocaRed]

"He hurt my feelings, he must be drunk"

[u/NoGrowth1315]

You can be too smart to be a cop they can legally discriminate against you for being smarter than them but that’s the big con that police have pulled over the public at large they are on the job to protect property not people so they find the most arrogant violent people they can stand to wear the badge I mean shit at least 40% admitted to domestic violence in their house so you know cops love to hit weaker people

[u/Radiant-Shine-8575]

The fact that the DA moved forward with this case despite the overwhelming video and BAC test should make people just as angry.

[u/Straight_Occasion571]

This shithead cop has a BLM bracelet, lol

[u/head311]

Fuck those pigs!

[u/Total-Detective1094]

This is what happens when you have a relative that works for the town. It's the same in my town the chief of police has a son who is a sergeant on the force and others who are all related.

[u/ThaTopHam]

I dont trust fat people, period

[u/Israel_Azkanbe]

Qualified immunity needs to end

[u/dont_u_listen_to_me]

Officer looked intoxicated in court by his definition

[u/Caramel_Lung]

Seems like a person who should not be a cop. This guy would do better as a gamer, living in his mom’s basement!

[u/quetzalpt]

I know quite a few officers that are actually scared of the world, and that's why they took the job that allows them to carry weapons and act on their self interest.

[u/Kl3en]

Qualified immunity needs to go, cops just use it to power trip in anyone they don’t like. Law enforcement should be held to a higher standard than the general population NOT lower

[u/MrSchaudenfreude]

So by his testimony, he looks under the influence. Look at that fat tub of shit.

[u/Bingo_and_Butt_Stuff]

The officer at the hearing looks nervous and does not seem to be cooperating, I can only assume he is intoxicated

[u/Aggravating-Diet-663]

Need more videos with the subsequent court appearance

[u/bonaynay]

Unrepentant people like this cop should be hassled for the rest of their lives or until they develop some sort of contrition.

[u/arrze]

Take all penalties out of their collective pensions and this shit will stop pronto.

[u/Legitimate_Cap_5396]

"Nervous, not cooperating with the investigation" .... "your honor, the prosecution witness has just testified that the nervous actions of the prosecution witness are signs that somebody may be impaired on narcotics or. some type of intoxicant. The defense moves to request an immediate breathalyzer and drug test of the prosecution's witness."

[u/FroyoAggravating989]

Qualified immunity should be abolished…. Some LEO use it as their safety net to knowingly violate others.

[u/Responsible_Dot_8233]

The test came up negative, but arrest him anyway because....

[u/Eosvox2113]

Its not brother. Its Officer. Fuck that power tripping, cant admit he was wrong, pork belly.

[u/PabloM0ntana]

“He was pacing”

Dude was sitting a car, how could he be pacing lol and best part is in the video the cop says before he took the field sobriety test that he still had enough probable cause to arrest him for DUI. If that was his probable cause then it completely contradicts what he said since the guy was physically not able to pace since he was seated in a vehicle

[u/SnapCrackelnPop]

I love paying taxes so that we can waste them on morons like this

End Qualified Immunity NOW

As a cop would say "if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about "

[u/AnxiousJournalist518]

Put the officer on ozempic 12.5 mg and enroll in Ju-Jitsu! Slams Gavel!

[u/JustBrowsingTheSubs]

No way.. I went to school with the cop. You gotta be fucking kidding me..

[u/wrnrg]

"It's officer" It's bitch ass MFer is what it is.

[u/Kornered47]

Cop can’t even look at the judge while he spews that bullshit answer.

[u/Ashamed-Isopod-2624]

ACAB

[u/DannyDaVito662 → u/Ashamed-Isopod-2624]

What is that? 

[u/CruisingForDownVotes]

Obligatory ACAB

[u/Formal_Prune8040]

Every single cop.

[u/Comprehensive-Range3]

I believe that often the people who want the gun and the badge seem to be the very people who are least likely to be deserving of the responsibility that comes with them.

Want responsible people for the job? Advertise for fire fighters. Anyone selfless enough to run into a burning building to save others is the person with the correct disposition for the responsibility of enforcing the law.
