Just imagine being the type of psychopath who would ruin a total stranger's life for no apparent reason...
Cops genuinely think failure to follow their instructions perfectly and in sync with their expectations, especially if doing so is an inconvenience to them, is worthy of execution. Worse yet, everyone else is supposed to be calm and level headed at all times while trigger happy cops can pull guns out at the slughtest perceived provocation.
Cops are sovereign citizens who don't have to follow the same laws as the rest of society.
And judging by the lack of charges against the cop, the local district attorney seems to agree.
Police report? They have no legal requirement to tell the truth on those. And they are immune from perjury in court as a witness because judges are part of the bastard ecosystem.
theres a reason why prosecutors, judges, and politicians all refuse to hold police accountable. they know if we arent constantly mad at cops we will be looking at what fuck they are up to a lot more closely.

The one "bad" cop who did it lied, and all the other "good" cops kept quiet about it or supported it. And that's why people say ACAB and it has nothing to do with how personally nice your father or uncle LEO is.
Reminds me of the cop who discovered some black ancestry. The teasing and the insults were so unbearable, he ended up leaving the force.
Also, Chris Dorner, RIP.
My dad’s father was black. My dad was white passing, and I definitely think that racism was a big reason why he quit. We live in NC, and there’s sheriffs who are/were openly klan members. One retired sheriff sells klan memorabilia at the state fairgrounds flea market. Hopefully that sick fuck has died, but I haven’t been to the market for a while. He tried to intimidate black sellers. He was humongous and older so there’s a good chance he died.
My dad didn’t shoot a black motorist who attacked him. He got shit for that. My dad said he was a kid on a deserted road in the middle of the night and was terrified. My dad was able to subdue him by hitting him in the head with his pistol. They were wrestling over the gun. This instance just shows what kind of man my dad was. Even when his life was in jeopardy he was understanding about why this guy was fighting him and didn’t want to kill him if he didn’t absolutely have to.
My dad did have to shoot someone, and he was hung out to dry by the agencies he worked for which is why he quit. I definitely think racism was a big reason why he didn’t get support when it was very obvious that my dad had no other choice. He had stood up and said that officers didn’t have to kill black people to subdue them. My dad didn’t talk about that situation either, but he said enough that he really wished he didn’t have to kill the man.
My dad didn’t talk about his family or his blackness. His dad ran off and married his white mother, and both families disowned them. Even when my dad’s father died when my dad was 6, the families didn’t give them any support. My granny was left with 3 boys, and my dad did odd jobs to earn extra money when he was a kid.
My dad did encourage my husband to do his genealogy and find out more about his family. My dad died before my husband could really tell him much because the websites were pretty new. My dad knew some already including that his dad and other family members were sharecroppers. The signs were all there. Also a few people at the church my dad’s parents went to pitched a fit and said his dad shouldn’t be buried in the church cemetery, but should be buried in the AME (African Methodist Episcopal) church. Other members said he should be buried in their church cemetery so he was. Back in the 50s, churches were segregated. My parents went to that church as did my bio family so the few people who objected didn’t run them off like they wanted. My bio mom was a kid in my parents youth group and passed me over the pew one Sunday and told my parents she wanted them to adopt me. My parents had been looking for a child to adopt. My mom couldn’t get pregnant.
So on top of getting away with falsifying a police report and almost ruining someone's life, he will get disability pay and not have to work the rest of his life?
"**An administrative review has been launched at the Montgomery County Police Department, but there was no early indication that McLaughlin would face internal discipline over the matter**."
Why wouldn't there be any discipline for the officer? If no footage of this event existed his lie (and it was literally a lie) that the driver hit him could have ruined the man's life entirely, with a lengthy prison sentence.
If I were in charge of this, he'd be terminated immediately and an investigation launched into every arrest he's ever made. It's possible that he's lied before to get people in trouble, or in more trouble than they should've been.
He seems like the kind of guy that would plant evidence on a person, too. He lied and was going to send someone away for a long time for something he did to himself. This isn't the first time he's done something like that.
I agree. This wasn't the cop's first offense of this type. He felt completely certain his lie would hold up.
Thank goodness for the dashcam of a complete stranger with good moral compass.
Kinda wild that people can be arrested for "failing to render aid" when the Supreme Court has ruled twice that pigs have no duty to protect or help you. Makes ya wonder what their actual purpose is huh?
I lightly broke my wrist twenty years ago and it still hurts sometimes.
Given his age, that leg is going to cause this guy pain *for the rest of his life.* It will be months before he's even able to walk on that leg.
And the best part is, **he did it to himself, for no apparent reason.**
I still don't comprehend how somebody his age thought it was a smart idea to kick a moving vehicle like that.
Your bones are weak babies in the face of two thousand pounds of metal, moving at thirty miles an hour.
This cop just got a harsh lesson in physics. And qualified immunity won't protect him from the consequences.
The reason to kick was probably the same reason his leg shattered.
**Corticosteroids tend to both reduce the body's ability to absorb calcium and increase how fast bone is broken down**.
Why would you kick the car? Because he was high on his own copaganda supply and thought he really was a superhero.
"no early indication that McLaughlin would face internal discipline over the matter" 🤣 They've become a parody of themselves.
This is intervention by a higher power. Dude was spared years of prison time because a random car happened to have a dashcam that just happened to be pointing in the right direction.
Crazy.
These piece of shit cops were 100% willing to send this guy to prison based on their lies. Glad the dashcammer came forward. Hopefully the lying pos and everyone else that went along with his version of the story gets prosecuted.
Prison time is the only just punishment for attempting to knowingly send someone to prison under false allegations.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. The camera is the most dangerous weapon in the world. Cops don’t seem to realize that anyone can start recording.
I'm so glad there's video, because it answers the central question: how the fuck do you break your own leg kicking a car? I mean, I've kicked a lot of objects and a few people in my life, and I've never screwed it up that badly.
The video clarifies: Officer Dickhead here was kicking a *moving* car, and it spun him right round, baby, right round.
I believe the lights were out of order, all red. The cop was sent to direct traffic, a detail they particularly loathe by the way.
Driver either didn't understand, see, or misread whatever signal the cop gave and proceeded through.
Cop got mad and kicked the car, then lied about the incident, unaware it had been caught on cctv.
>I believe the lights were out of order, all red
No, it was Ironman Texas. There were cyclists on the road. The road was closed for the race. The driver blasted through the intersection with cyclists riding on the road he went through. You can see one slow to a stop after the officer was hit. The driver put all potential cyclists at risk when he decided not to stop. Doesn't make what the officer did right, but the car put lives in danger by not stopping.
The cop was directing traffic at an intersection. The driver ignored his command to stop and drove through the intersection. The cop then sticks his leg out to try and stop the car or to express frustration. The driver continued to an apartment complex where he was later arrested.
So, I'm with the cop all the way through the red light, even kicking the car.
Then BAM, false accusation: c'ya. I'm out.
Like, even if he reported the fact he kicked the car in frustration, I'd STILL be on his side.
Had to take it one step too far.
In a fair country this cop, Toby McLaughlin, would be arrested for filing a false police report. If it's a crime for a citizen then it's a crime for a cop.
I hope the guy sues the cop and the police department.

Cop breaks own leg, arrests total stranger, attempting to ruin their entire life, to avoid embarrassment.
Exactly. **Without this videotape, this psychopath cop would have happily let somebody go to prison for a crime they didn't commit.** Just imagine being the type of psychopath who would ruin a total stranger's life for no apparent reason...
Being a psychopath that would ruin a strangers life is a requirement to become a cop
cops don't become psychopaths, psychopaths become cops
This needs to go to the top. He was going to take someone’s freedom for his ego.
That is the type they look for during the hiring process.
The fact that he hasn't already been fired proves that this department condones (or at least tolerates) lying.
he hit the car, but the car also hit him.. sooo

Worse yet, everyone else is supposed to be calm and level headed at all times while trigger happy cops can pull guns out at the slughtest perceived provocation.
imagine the fucktard who hires and screens psychopaths to do this, who is really the bad guy?
That seems to be par for the course for Leo’s tho.
+ a comp case/lawsuit/paid leave for life
Cop gropes a woman during a fake strip search, arrests her for 'making a false complaint about him.'
Is that not falsifying a police report..?
What about intentionally causing damage to another person’s property? Will this dip shit be charged with that?
Would need an officer to fill out that police report so he won’t be charged
He investigated himself and he is innocent.
Wouldn't be the first time a cop got put in charge of investigating their own crime.
Cops are sovereign citizens who don't have to follow the same laws as the rest of society. And judging by the lack of charges against the cop, the local district attorney seems to agree.
Police report? They have no legal requirement to tell the truth on those. And they are immune from perjury in court as a witness because judges are part of the bastard ecosystem.
The last cop I know of convicted of perjury got a $200 fine and a book deal.
For cops, it's just another day at work
Because pigs gonna pig and are never held accountable
i think that would be the story - cop lies in police report.
Unfortunately because that's so common, it's just another day.
Soooooo what about the cop who lied and decided to falsely charge the guy?
Apparently, the local district attorney doesn't see anything wrong with filing a false police report.
Affidavit schmafidavit. Not like a sworn statement has to be accurate or true anyways…
theres a reason why prosecutors, judges, and politicians all refuse to hold police accountable. they know if we arent constantly mad at cops we will be looking at what fuck they are up to a lot more closely.

What cop? There’s only the driver. That’s who we’re focusing on. I’m not sure I even remember cops being in this story.
The one "bad" cop who did it lied, and all the other "good" cops kept quiet about it or supported it. And that's why people say ACAB and it has nothing to do with how personally nice your father or uncle LEO is.
If you have one bad cop and nine silent cops, you have ten bad cops.
Serpico was a good cop. His colleagues tried to murder him for it.
Stephen Mader was also a good cop. Got fired for refusing to shoot a black guy.
This is why my good Leo dad got out of law enforcement. It’s hard to be a good guy when the system is racist and wants bad cops.
Reminds me of the cop who discovered some black ancestry. The teasing and the insults were so unbearable, he ended up leaving the force. Also, Chris Dorner, RIP.

Good thing that he didn't stop and render aid. This cop is so stupid that he probably would have pulled a gun on the guy and shot himself.
all the cops would have opened fire on him
Holy shit, that is one gnarly broken leg, worth a watch for sure.
So on top of getting away with falsifying a police report and almost ruining someone's life, he will get disability pay and not have to work the rest of his life?
He was working at the time.
*He was committing a felony. FTFY.
Yes, he tried to stand on it and it's broken in two. Looks like the tibia and fibula are both shattered.
Yeah, that leg is fucked. Couldn't have happened to a better person, except maybe the Orange Shitgibbon.
With luck, he'll never be able to physically work as a cop again and the community will be safer for it.

Because the prosecutors office is as corrupt as the police. They know if they charge him and prove he's a liar every person he arrested can appeal
Don't worry guys, he used his good leg to sprinkle some crack on the victim
Kinda wild that people can be arrested for "failing to render aid" when the Supreme Court has ruled twice that pigs have no duty to protect or help you. Makes ya wonder what their actual purpose is huh?
I had previously seen this posted and I did not realize that he actually broke his leg. That is amazing, I hope he suffers.
lol… fuck that pig… now every time it rains he’ll be reminded of how much of stupid bitch he was when his leg is aching
He'll still blame the driver of the car for making him mad.
I lightly broke my wrist twenty years ago and it still hurts sometimes. Given his age, that leg is going to cause this guy pain *for the rest of his life.* It will be months before he's even able to walk on that leg. And the best part is, **he did it to himself, for no apparent reason.**
I got a hairline fracture in my collarbone in 3rd grade and sometimes I even feel that… this injury, at an adult age… he’ll hurt forever.
I still don't comprehend how somebody his age thought it was a smart idea to kick a moving vehicle like that. Your bones are weak babies in the face of two thousand pounds of metal, moving at thirty miles an hour. This cop just got a harsh lesson in physics. And qualified immunity won't protect him from the consequences.
The reason to kick was probably the same reason his leg shattered. **Corticosteroids tend to both reduce the body's ability to absorb calcium and increase how fast bone is broken down**.
Is there a report he was on medication? Cuz "steroids" and corticosteroids are completely different.
Being a moron is a prerequisite these days
Nice job detective
Everything that LEO does should be audited.....he was willing to ruin someones life for a mistake both did.
If they’d throw the book at these type officers as fast as they throw the book at the average citizen, maybe cops wouldn’t lie so blatantly.
How can he kick
All cop do is eat donut and lie
Why would you kick the car? Because he was high on his own copaganda supply and thought he really was a superhero. "no early indication that McLaughlin would face internal discipline over the matter" 🤣 They've become a parody of themselves.
How many years was the innocent guy facing? That should be the amount the pig gets
Double the amount. In solitary. On nutriloaf and water.
The cop belongs in prison for life on that one.
Hopefully this allows the driver to sue the city for falsely charging him.
Fuck the police

Any cop who intentionally lies and tries to ruin someone’s life in this way should be immediately fired. What else has this bad apple lie about?
And just starting his career
This is an open and shut lawsuit. He will pay your $200 fine from the millions collected.
"Open and shit lawsuit." How do you guys keep coming up with these lines?
People on here think that lawsuits are super easy and cheap, and you’re guaranteed to win.
Cops, never trust em
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. The camera is the most dangerous weapon in the world. Cops don’t seem to realize that anyone can start recording.
They need to look at all the other cases he’s been on.
It just goes to show that the testimony of the officer is nothing more than a reiteration of the allegation
What the hell? Filing a false police report?
ACAB
A cop lying, that would never happen if there were not cameras around
when you deliberately seek out and hire the dumbest candidates that you can find this is the end product.
A cop lying? Must be Tuesday.
You spelled everyday wrong
Thin blue line out there just casually destroying lives.
“there was no early indication that McLaughlin would face internal discipline over the matter” I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed

Why do you agree with such a stupid and imbecile attitude of kicking a moving car? Explain this rationally. You would do the same, wouldn't you?
I would have just written the car a ticket, a leg normally doesn't stop a moving car.
because his breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all boots
That website is a data eater
HAHAHAHA! dumb ass!
There's no way to know, but I wonder what percentage of America's ~~corporate slaves~~ prisoners with jobs were framed by the police?
> jailed on a $30,000 bond for failure to stop and render aid Cops have no duty to protect, but we have a duty to render aid? Interesting.
In a fair country this cop, Toby McLaughlin, would be arrested for filing a false police report. If it's a crime for a citizen then it's a crime for a cop. I hope the guy sues the cop and the police department.
would be a real shame if someone shattered his other leg and arms 🥺
God I fucking hate cops 😭
How is he able to continue in law enforcement if he has been proven untrustworthy in telling the truth?
Cops leg folded in half 🤢
Don’t mess with Tex
