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)?

[sniper7]

shouldn't they assume all people have guns? They went into it thinking it was an easy soliciting charge and came up with this.
The cop telling the guy he was going to execute him in the street and not lose any sleep over it needs to be sent straight to prison. That is absolute bullshit. Police should be professionals. They are there to enforce the law, not to become judge and jury on top of it.
Fuck that cop.

I'm going to have to agree that the driver was most likely involved in picking up a prostitute or buying drugs, as you state. The outside male continually lied about his identity throughout the recorded contact.

Having said that, I also agree that the officer's behavior was unprofessional and depending upon their disciplinary system, could be looked at as a terminating offense. It would have been in the agencies I work and have worked at. The officer has some serious anger management issues. Most officers have been that angry at one point or another on a call or traffic stop, but the mark of a professional is, you don't vent at the subject of your frustration. Towards the end of the recording, he was calming down and responding to the driver in a more controlled manner.

The secondary officer should not have searched the vehicle while the driver was still inside; all subjects should have been contained and controlled. Another patrol vehicle drove by shortly after they stopped this vehicle and those officers could have assisted in the controlling of the occupants while the first two handled the vehicle, then each of the occupants one at a time.

This could have been handled better by the officers, no doubt.

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

[airborneranger]

It is one thing to be upset, but to say that he should have executed him for being stupid - wow. He should be fired for just that comment.

[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.
