WOW just wow.

Please refrain from LEO bashing. However as a former LEO myself this is the kind of thing that is ruining any public trust. First off these guys are clueless about how to properly search a vehicle, you do NOT search with an unsecured person still behind the wheel! Its just stupid. Hell you have a partner, pull em all out pat them down and sit em on the curb for Christ sake. Secondly this guy is wound wayyyyyyyyy to tight to be an LEO, this guys conduct should be cause for immediate termination but it wont get him but a slap on the wrist. However it is obvious to me that the CCW holder was likely involved in something fishy (ie soliciting prostitutes or drugs). Anyway check it out.

Funny, I just got done watching this and I will agree- WOW.
I think what pissed the cop off so much is it dawned on him how stupid he and his partner had been and how close to getting capped had the CCW holder had ill intent.
I am not a LEO but common sense would dictate they secure the occupants before searching the vehicle.
And the statements made to the CCW holder once he is detained by the cop should cost him his job.

Some people should not be cops. This is clear cut example. I thought the common thing to do is to make contact with the driver and move all occupants from the vehicle before searching. And it's clear that they didn't even give the driver an opportunity to state he was carrying. If it were me I would insist that they listen to me and yell "I'm carrying a weapon, what do you want me to do?" I'm glad I haven't dealt with cops like these, and I'm sure if I did have to one day they'd be f***ing mall security by the end of the month.

Bash Bash, God help the township that that happens in. A big lawsuit will follow. A civil servant threatening a private citizen for for (still looking for something)?

The level of unprofessionalism is just mind boggling. How did that man ever pass his psych test?

[Byte Stryke]

why is this person not in prison?

and why is he wearing a badge?


a fine example of why I do not "Blindly trust" PD.

the ratio of shitheads to good guys is not good.

Punks, officers or otherwise.

If he passed his psych test he was probably taught to think that way in the Academy.

I posted this video this morning on the "should you notify police you're carrying" thread!!

Good news is that they guy doesn't need to worry about sweeping parking lots anymore.

this right here is one of the big problems
The police union will back this guy....he's suspended with pay, he'll take some time off, get "training" and be back on the street doing this to the public again in no time

More likely in FTO. Hell I know a guy who is a current DPD officer who I would have sworn had no chance in hell of getting past a psych test. I am certain that one of these days I will see him in the news. Its guys like this that we are breeding in LE these days and one of the reasons I got out.
