That was … disturbing. Yeah you can get messed up bad with boiling water, but I like to think that I would have baptized her with my pepper spray instead of channeling my inner Sam Jackson and laying down my righteous wrath or whatever.

Fucking tyrant
DA will toss it.
Cop just created another group of hostile jurors.
Concur, but he also shouldn't have a badge. If he is THAT fucking stupid he shouldn't be allowed to patrol a Walmart parking lot with a flashlight, much less the legal authority to take a life. "He just needs retraining" some will say. He put a dude in cuffs for laughing at him. That's not a retraining issue, not something that basic.

Civil rights violation. He'll sue, cop will be fired.
Fired, then rehired by a sketchy small town department nearby that’s desperate for bodies.
Coming soon, to an oak tree near you. Everyone laughs until the acorn falls. It's the Laughing Cop.
And tax payers foot the bill on suit.

You can thank HR and lawyers for that. In many industries (mine) all we can ask a previous employer is "would you rehire this person?" Sometimes if you frame it "is this person eligible for rehire" you can read into it. Also a lot of the suits have attached NDAs, which I hate. I have also dealt with that.
There are a lot of factors at play, not the least of which is the "ACAB/Defund the Police" attitude which is negatively affecting both recruiting and retention.
If you don't have to scrape the bottom of the barrel and/or retain people you'd otherwise weed out, you normally get better results.

There is, depending on the state.

You know, that one time I tried to become a cop they require your DD-214 and your last three evals. Just to make sure you're not a turd. Privates don't get evals. So was he chaptered but still got an honorable discharge?
But I think I didn't have bodycam of the outside of the home in the first video, he put his finger on the eyelet hole so she couldn't see who it was when they kept saying police.
But also she called about a prowler, right? One of the guys could have sat with her and they clear they house room by room and say goodnight. I don't know, just act neighborly and stuff, right?
8 years Ago, the city of Phoenix was 400 officers understrength, but they were hiring 1 officer/month. City of Glendale was hiring 4 officers/month and there were like 400 applicants at the time. Law Enforcement in Arizona at least is highly competitive. But the wages are not like California wages. Starting wages for teachers and cops is barely scraping by around here. The difference is LEOs get overtime and teachers don't.

Back in 2015/2016 we had the Tucson police chief come in and guest lecture. Tucson had cut the entire gang unit down to 4 detectives because they didn't have enough people. Tucson Metro was around 1 million people. At that time, sheriff's deputies were starting out at $21/hr. Also, the county mismanaged the pensions and mandatory contributions were 11% or so.
Heart warming video.
Kristi Noem better avoid that county.

UPDATE: Mayor of Monongah says officer in viral traffic stop video is no longer employed
Must be super easy to become a patrol officer in some locales. Wonder how many other people he did this to.

Gotta love the fat douche with a drop holster!
In my current state, you have to either be in a marked unit or in uniform if in an unmarked to conduct a traffic stop. I suppose what he’s wearing constitutes a uniform. That said, his actions were no where near justified and now his sorry ass is unemployed.
I was rolling in my unmarked ride last week and had what I believe to be a trooper light me up while he was in business attire and driving an unmarked charger. It must not have been that bad because I kept going and he didn’t pursue. All he did was pull up next to me and shake his head. No I didn’t hit my lights.
