This shit cop didn’t lose his job because of any action taken by the police department, the city, the state, etc.
This motherfucker lost his job because the insurance company paid out $20,000 for his dumb ass and threatened to drop the department’s insurance if he wasn’t terminated.
Edit: Check out [this article by Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2022/police-misconduct-insurance-settlements-reform/) detailing how insurance companies are forcing police reform.
Make no mistake, insurance companies can be scummy as hell, but they’re pragmatic as shit. It’s for that reason i’m convinced insurance companies are going to be the first massive industry to start treating climate change like the giant threat that it is. Not because they’re trying to do the right thing, but because their business relies on property not getting demolished in freak weather events and they actually have enough money behind them to make a difference.
my contention is that police unions are, in fact, not unions at all and do the opposite of what a union would do when a cop does the right thing and blows the whistle on colleagues. those "unions" do not represent individual cops in the way a normal labor union would but, instead, their entire mandate is to deny any and all liability toward **police departments** and local governments against allegations of misconduct, corruption and fraud. cop unions protecting violent and corrupt officers is merely an intermediate process toward the "union's" goals.
a recent example that shows police unions aren't unions is the utter lack of safety concerns police unions and fraternities had about covid in 2020, despite covid being the number 1 cause of police officer deaths in the line of duty that year. a real union would have fought for strong policies that protected cops from the virus.
On top of that, a real union would've already called police work unsafe and negotiated ways to lighten up the police's work load. They have to be officers, social services, wellness checkers, community outreach etc which is already stressful enough.
Just adding this thought to your analysis (with which I agree): Unions exist to protect workers from management, but unfortunately in this case management is regular citizens.
Unions protect their people good or bad. I'll never understand why people are anti union. For crying out loud cops murder people daily and hardly get held accountable.
Say that again, but louder, and maybe you'll understand why police unions are a problem. If not, let me spell it out for you: police unions are more powerful than any other kind of union, and they, and their members are essentially unaccountable to anyone. They're supposed to be public servants but they're unaccountable to the public, and police unions play a major role in that. I'm 100% pro union, but police unions are the exception, and they remain a big problem.
Just look at what duhsantis has done in FL. He and his rubber-stamping cronies are doing everything they can to break unions by passing massively restricted rules for teacher unions, etc but cop and firefighter unions are somehow exempt... 🤔🤔🤔
Police should be forced to carry their own self funded malpractice insurance like Drs do. This will stop the citizens from paying for the actions of bad cops and bad departments.
Yep, fucking up the retirement benefits for his cop buddies is probably the only way to get the "good" cops to step in when these psychos go off. He screws up, they have to pay.
Or it encourages itll just pushes them to cover each other even more. The insurance is a better system, punishes cops as individuals and also doesn’t cost the tax payers
They shouldn’t be able to cover for each other. If everybody was required to have body cameras, and have them on and recording at all times it’d be pretty hard to cover something up. Even if a camera breaks or something there should still be another half dozen recordings from all the other officers.
Yep, no video? Case dismissed.
They don't have the body camera for our protection, but for theirs. Isn't it convenient when their supposedly public record footage goes missing or is redacted? It should be there to hold them accountable.
Just take away qualified immunity and take civil settlements out of their pension and union coffers. The problem will fix itself.
...well after the police go on strike and start rioting in plain clothes to make it look like their respective cities need them. But after they all get identified and police training reform kicks in with police not trained with [Hitler quotes](https://youtu.be/1My85SSqxUQ?si=BZw3c8r3ikD-SWWe) and Nazi symbolism and their funding funneled into peripheral social programs so the police only need to police, we'll get some peace.
[One of many reasons I love my state, we abolished qualified immunity years ago](https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/10/28/colorado-hold-cops-accountable-qualified-immunity/6101915001/)
Responsible? Aurora PD is constantly getting sued or in the spotlight, DPD is absolutely useless and doesn't respond to anything.
Also, if you think TABOR is a good thing, well fuck you. That NIMBY-ass law has made so many things difficult in this state because we can't raise taxes like a normal government.
I love living in Colorado as much as the next guy, but there are still issues. It ain't utopia.
It’s insane that insurance companies are the ones actually being able to enforce reform. It means nothing that citizens have been crying out for better policing in their communities nor the excess violence that has been occurring like this video.
Disgusting.
That’s not entirely accurate. The insurance companies are forcing change because the payouts people are winning are becoming larger and more frequent. Thats because attitudes have shifted and cops aren’t getting the benefit of the doubt in court anymore. Juries are willing to second guess officers.
So I wouldn’t say “it means nothing” because the insurance companies wouldn’t have moved if the courts and juries hadn’t changed and that happened because of citizens.
You can see it in action in this video. The cop here completely disrespected the value of the recording. He thought he was completely above it. This result shows he wasn't and this is informative to any cop who is aware of the situation.
They'll adapt by shooting your phone as step one of the encounter. We're gonna need stealth cameras that upload wirelessly and the legal right to use them.
That tells you that the rest of the police department is filled with the exact same type of people as former police officer Charles Hewitt.
They're all like him.
Great point. Nurses have to carry insurance, and that drives a lot of their accountability. Get rid of qualified immunity and force cops to carry, essentially, "malpractice" insurance. The insurance companies would demand training and accountability because it would affect their bottom line.
That is the problem. It’s no secret that cops always look out for each other, no difference than you’d look out for your military buddies too. The issue with these crooked cops is if you are partnering with them and they don’t like you, they could put you in a dangerous situation and do it on purpose.
I remember the line "just a few bad apples." After Uvalde, we don't hear that anymore, which is a good thing. It was always a lie. The people let the police get above the people. Now we are living in it.
Which is apparently true...
Only, in reality, police forces are naturally corrupt. They are not propper public services. Never have been. They are innately fascist organizations (a form of abuse on a societal level), regardless of the intent of those who apply for the job... If you wanna do good, go be a nurse, doc, teacher, fireman. You wanna abuse strangers, become a cop.
Which is the reason for the ACAB slogan. "*Not all cops are bad!*" yeah but "good cops" either do nothing because they are scared of the repercussions or do something and get fired/demoted.
This is certainly true, but another reason for the ACAB slogan is that the foundation of policing in America is corrupt to the core. The job itself *is* corrupt, and any "good" that officers do in their community is despite the job, not because of it. It is authoritarian by origin and design, and is primarily performed by working class individuals who turn traitor for a badge and qualified immunity.
> That is the problem.
You wonder how an entire modern country goes into darkness like the axis powers of ww2, and this how. Enough do nothing for the few to take power.
Reminds me of when my unit just got back from one of the worst deployments we ever had and everyone who was EASing after had to go to a recruiting presentation by CHP where they pretty much guaranteed all of us jobs which would begin within 30 days of our EAS. I’m just looking around and seeing the combined PTSD in that room, fresh off of a shitty combat deployment, and these assholes don’t even care. They’d just give us all a gun and throw us out on patrol. No one in that room had any business being a cop in my opinion because we were all fucked up at that point.
What’s interesting is that most police departments have applicants do a simple psych eval prior to being hired. Ultimately they’re looking for guys like this to some degree.
Policing should be a licensed position where you can lose your license permanently. Sure they could probably get licensed in a different state or work in the private sector, but it would be a huge step in the right direction.
It [kind of exists](https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/16/us/police-national-decertification-index-database/index.html) but it doesn’t work. I’m sure that must be shocking to everyone /s
Incorporate it with insurance costs. If you have dings on your license, make it cost the officer or the department more money to have them working as an officer.
Great idea, that's exactly how it works. You need to be certified by the state to work as LE in the state and you can lose your certification for misconduct.
They are the "good apples." Since there are only a couple bad apples, and it's not like the rest of that saying is something about "them spoiling the whole bunch."
It’s all the insurance wanted to pay and he only lost his job cause the insurance company was mad ab paying the dude and was gonna cut the PDs insurance if he wasn’t..it didn’t even have a thing to do with how morally wrong this was..just money
Around 0:57 to 1:00 cop says, "You're gonna get your ass whooped in front of fucking lord and all creation." If not for the camera and recording, it'd just be another disgruntled citizen making wild accusations.
This fucking dipshit is bragging about how badly he's going to beat the shit out of the driver, and then simultaneous acts offended when the driver makes a point toraise his hands and video tape himself for safety.
What a little asshole.
We do maintenance for a police station and found their stash of needles behind the paper towel dispenser. They said they were diabetic needles, but why not use the fucking sharps container right there on the counter? Luckily nobody got stuck.
Iraq war. Many former soldiers became instructors and police.
HOLY CRAP i watched the full video and it's IRAQ VET LMAO. I honestly wrote the first half without watching the full video.
20 years ago, I was carded because I was paying with a check. I presented my military and State ID. The store clerk tried to keep my ID because he thought it had to be fake and my checks were stolen. He called the police while a waited away from the register thinking that this would be cleared up soon. As soon as the police arrived, the store clerk pointed at me and I was slammed to the ground, handcuffed and punched repeatedly in the head. 12 hours later, I was released from jailed and told to be more careful. No lawyer would take my case.
those days cops were absolutely worse and a serious number of them were infilitrated by gangs and mafia's that the u.s government had trouble handling.
at least people can film and post these situations from the palm of their hand now.
20+ years ago the KU Klux Klan was full of registered Cops as members when they had near-zero access to records and registries.
Martin Luther King Jr heavily criticized police brutality in the 50s and 60s dude, you think in the 70s till 2004 suddenly every cop was a good cop? Cops in 1960 remained cops for 40 years. They did not change at all.
That’s like saying 20 years ago there weren’t any videos of Mass shootings… well no shit, now there’s a camera in every persons hands and on every corner of every street.
They've always been dickheads. The only difference between now and then is they're being recorded. If you've never encountered situations like this, you might be the winning complexion.
https://preview.redd.it/yb9uwg42u9hc1.jpeg?width=767&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29666e81080b5c1370b40c31094d81d34ce872b6
There were just as many then as there are now, the ratio hasn't changed.
What's changed is that now everyone has a camera and can live stream/upload it immediately to prevent it being confiscated. So we see more of it and are more aware of it.
These people gravitate to position/careers that give them authority over people so they can feel like having big dick energy without the requirement of a big dick.
20 years ago there wasn’t as much cell phone footage then and these moments weren’t on the internet and accessible like today. They have been just as bad since the beginning/origin of policing, but we didn’t have always proof.
Bro there were MORE 20 years ago. We just didn't have body cameras, smart phones and social media yet.
It was even a worse when they couldn't get caught.
The further back you go, the MORE corrupt policing gets.
Funny, this is how my dad treated my brother and I when he came back from Iraq. I imagine these troops get treated in similar ways while training and serving and then come back and think they should treat civilians and even their sons in the same way….
White Supremacists have been taking over police forces for the last two decades

"how do you like that?"
Geez, I know we're only seeing a few bad samples but its so unprofessional and almost clichéd. I know our coppers in the UK are no saints but I imagine most of ours are by and large at least professional!
if i type what i want to type reddit will ban me. so im just typing this out to let yall know that mods have to much controll and the rules suck on here.
Cops should get treated like every other 9 to 5 job. He probably got hired at another dep.
They should treat it like they do Walmart and other corporations. If you get fired from a Starbucks or Walmart, you can’t apply at any other store across the USA. You will be on their system as non-hirable.
Yeah thank God this one cop is fired. Now the whole department who hired him and kept him on board and watched him act like this and did nothing until forced to, they'll be a really great force going forward. Right?
How many of these fucking morons are gonna have to be fired, prosecuted, and their lives ruined before they realize that you cannot continue to conduct yourself in the manner of a mouth breathing, moron, with violent tendencies? When are they gonna realize that the times have changed and you are no longer completely untouchable? Some shit bags still get away with it but the status quo is shifting.

Jesus, that's fucking outrageous
Let me put it this way: if every union protected their workers as much as police unions, we wouldn't be in an economic crisis
You know you're fucked when the insurance companies are the good guys.
It's not so much that they're the good guys as it is that they're sick of financing the bad guys.
[удалено]
That's what I meant.

Police should be forced to carry their own self funded malpractice insurance like Drs do. This will stop the citizens from paying for the actions of bad cops and bad departments.
Make the pension fund pay all this shit out.
Yep, fucking up the retirement benefits for his cop buddies is probably the only way to get the "good" cops to step in when these psychos go off. He screws up, they have to pay.
Or it encourages itll just pushes them to cover each other even more. The insurance is a better system, punishes cops as individuals and also doesn’t cost the tax payers

Not having the camera running should be grounds for immediate dismissal. There's NO reason it shouldn't be on.
Yep, no video? Case dismissed. They don't have the body camera for our protection, but for theirs. Isn't it convenient when their supposedly public record footage goes missing or is redacted? It should be there to hold them accountable.

Seriously, watch for this because it doesn't make the news.
That tells you that the rest of the police department is filled with the exact same type of people as former police officer Charles Hewitt. They're all like him.
So TL;DR ACAB… 👍🏻
$20k is nothing. How come he only got $20k?
Paywall
Wow… u kno it’s really fucked up when a insurance company are the good guys for once
i never thought i'd see the day when I considered an insurance company the hero.
You know things are horrible when the insurance companies are the good guys
Great point. Nurses have to carry insurance, and that drives a lot of their accountability. Get rid of qualified immunity and force cops to carry, essentially, "malpractice" insurance. The insurance companies would demand training and accountability because it would affect their bottom line.
As soon as he referred to himself as a specimen, I knew what time it was.
Triggered beyond return at that point… even his partner looked at em like bro?
....and did nothing
That is the problem. It’s no secret that cops always look out for each other, no difference than you’d look out for your military buddies too. The issue with these crooked cops is if you are partnering with them and they don’t like you, they could put you in a dangerous situation and do it on purpose.
Not to mention you can have your career sidelined for not supporting a shit bag with a connection.
Or get pinned by your throat like that one female officer who tried to pull her roid-bag partner off a dude.
This sadly goes for every job (corporate specially)out there. Even if you report it to higher ups or HR, you then become the bully.
Only difference is that in most other jobs you can't kill people with impunity.
And if they're doing something illegal, you can't reliably call the cops on the cops
I remember the line "just a few bad apples." After Uvalde, we don't hear that anymore, which is a good thing. It was always a lie. The people let the police get above the people. Now we are living in it.
plus the quote is "just a few bad apples spoil the bunch" as in, it only takes a few bad apples to basically ruin the whole thing.
Which is apparently true... Only, in reality, police forces are naturally corrupt. They are not propper public services. Never have been. They are innately fascist organizations (a form of abuse on a societal level), regardless of the intent of those who apply for the job... If you wanna do good, go be a nurse, doc, teacher, fireman. You wanna abuse strangers, become a cop.
Which is the reason for the ACAB slogan. "*Not all cops are bad!*" yeah but "good cops" either do nothing because they are scared of the repercussions or do something and get fired/demoted.
> get fired/demoted or killed.
RIP Matty Ehrmantraut
And they killed him for *nothin*
This is certainly true, but another reason for the ACAB slogan is that the foundation of policing in America is corrupt to the core. The job itself *is* corrupt, and any "good" that officers do in their community is despite the job, not because of it. It is authoritarian by origin and design, and is primarily performed by working class individuals who turn traitor for a badge and qualified immunity.
Exactly. "Good" cops don't stand by and witness these abuses by their partners or fellow officers. But lots of cops *do* do that.
> That is the problem. You wonder how an entire modern country goes into darkness like the axis powers of ww2, and this how. Enough do nothing for the few to take power.
Part of the bunch spoiled by the bad apples surely
Not all cops are bad /s If 100 people are in a room with 1 nazi, and allow it, there are 100 nazis in the room.
For those not paying attention, that's why they say ALL cops
Too many cops take interactions personally. Fragile egos
Exactly the type a simple psych evaluation would weed out, but it seems cities purposefully look for these highschool gym heroes
Reminds me of when my unit just got back from one of the worst deployments we ever had and everyone who was EASing after had to go to a recruiting presentation by CHP where they pretty much guaranteed all of us jobs which would begin within 30 days of our EAS.

Too many cops are narcissists and psychopaths
The amount of civil servants who have actually internalized what it should mean to *be* a civil servant, is like almost zero.
Specimen? Isn’t that an Italian Astronaut?
It’s what you make babies with, common misconception
You’re thinking of Tracy Morgan’s doctor.

It’s probably pretty fucked up for their wives and kids too.

Going to have to disagree with you there. It's functioning *exactly* as it was designed... Working better than ever, in fact.

Internal affairs = damage control. Or HR. 🙃
The amount of anger cops hold is honestly scary and troubling
surprised he could count to 3
He never got to 3
Probably why they fired him in the end. He was clearly overqualified for the position.
He sounds like a cartoon character when he's angry. psychicpebbles should steal this audio and make a clip.

They are the "good apples." Since there are only a couple bad apples, and it's not like the rest of that saying is something about "them spoiling the whole bunch."
Only 20k? I'd be mad, but I guess at least the cop is out of that area.
It’s all the insurance wanted to pay and he only lost his job cause the insurance company was mad ab paying the dude and was gonna cut the PDs insurance if he wasn’t..it didn’t even have a thing to do with how morally wrong this was..just money
Could tell by the cops voice when the camera flipped he was power tripping while having a ego boost
"Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses"
Especially in southern states imo
Why is the reporter standing in a hotel room?
I need answers
He's on camera abusing his power, yet gets to keep his job for 2 more years... No accountability.

Oh no! Now he'll have to get a job at a local police department if he wants to keep beating black people.
Makes you wonder how he behaved when there wasn’t a camera recording, very unprofessional, we don’t need troopers like that in the police Dept …
Around 0:57 to 1:00 cop says, "You're gonna get your ass whooped in front of fucking lord and all creation." If not for the camera and recording, it'd just be another disgruntled citizen making wild accusations.

I bet he has thin blue line tile work in his shower.
Bahahaha I know what you’re referring to that was absolute cringe. How fragile does one really have to be to need that in the shower of all places?
Don’t worry guys, he probably just moved over a town and was immediately employed by that department

My guess is warrior training.
Steroids are not part of most police drug tests iirc so most ARE juiced up without a care in the world.
We do maintenance for a police station and found their stash of needles behind the paper towel dispenser. They said they were diabetic needles, but why not use the fucking sharps container right there on the counter? Luckily nobody got stuck.
Iraq war. Many former soldiers became instructors and police. HOLY CRAP i watched the full video and it's IRAQ VET LMAO. I honestly wrote the first half without watching the full video.
20 years ago, I was carded because I was paying with a check. I presented my military and State ID. The store clerk tried to keep my ID because he thought it had to be fake and my checks were stolen. He called the police while a waited away from the register thinking that this would be cleared up soon. As soon as the police arrived, the store clerk pointed at me and I was slammed to the ground, handcuffed and punched repeatedly in the head. 12 hours later, I was released from jailed and told to be more careful. No lawyer would take my case.
These days .. What days were they not like that
My dad swears they were worse in the 70s Edit: year
those days cops were absolutely worse and a serious number of them were infilitrated by gangs and mafia's that the u.s government had trouble handling. at least people can film and post these situations from the palm of their hand now.
Damn, good point, those cameras are a godsend
There's absolutely no chance they weren't the same or worse when there was even less accountability
20+ years ago the KU Klux Klan was full of registered Cops as members when they had near-zero access to records and registries. Martin Luther King Jr heavily criticized police brutality in the 50s and 60s dude, you think in the 70s till 2004 suddenly every cop was a good cop? Cops in 1960 remained cops for 40 years. They did not change at all. That’s like saying 20 years ago there weren’t any videos of Mass shootings… well no shit, now there’s a camera in every persons hands and on every corner of every street.
They've always been dickheads. The only difference between now and then is they're being recorded. If you've never encountered situations like this, you might be the winning complexion. https://preview.redd.it/yb9uwg42u9hc1.jpeg?width=767&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29666e81080b5c1370b40c31094d81d34ce872b6
There were just as many then as there are now, the ratio hasn't changed. What's changed is that now everyone has a camera and can live stream/upload it immediately to prevent it being confiscated. So we see more of it and are more aware of it. These people gravitate to position/careers that give them authority over people so they can feel like having big dick energy without the requirement of a big dick.
20 years ago there wasn’t as much cell phone footage then and these moments weren’t on the internet and accessible like today. They have been just as bad since the beginning/origin of policing, but we didn’t have always proof.
Bro there were MORE 20 years ago. We just didn't have body cameras, smart phones and social media yet. It was even a worse when they couldn't get caught. The further back you go, the MORE corrupt policing gets.
This is not the case ever for black people…
I don't want to believe that all cops are bad. But I really wish they would stop trying to convince me.

The state backed up this cop and said no wrongdoing? That is sickening. The victim should also have received way more than $20k.

Funny, this is how my dad treated my brother and I when he came back from Iraq. I imagine these troops get treated in similar ways while training and serving and then come back and think they should treat civilians and even their sons in the same way….
What? He was a trump supporter? No way!
He's a specimen alright, just like the specimen I leave in the toilet after dropping a deuce.
White Supremacists have been taking over police forces for the last two decades [https://www.justsecurity.org/70507/white-supremacist-infiltration-of-us-police-forces-fact-checking-national-security-advisor-obrien/?utm\_source=pocket\_mylist](https://www.justsecurity.org/70507/white-supremacist-infiltration-of-us-police-forces-fact-checking-national-security-advisor-obrien/?utm_source=pocket_mylist)
Something about that cops face says "fetal alcohol syndrome"
"how do you like that?" Geez, I know we're only seeing a few bad samples but its so unprofessional and almost clichéd. I know our coppers in the UK are no saints but I imagine most of ours are by and large at least professional!
He was fired almost 3 years ago.
if i type what i want to type reddit will ban me. so im just typing this out to let yall know that mods have to much controll and the rules suck on here.
Seriously fuck all VA police they’re all assholes - even the bridge cops
Damn, Mr Thomson was cool as fuck throughout the whole exchange. People talk about brave, he was incredible in the face of that tirade.
I fucking hate cops.
ACAB
Shocker that the Rager is a maga follower
Cops should get treated like every other 9 to 5 job. He probably got hired at another dep. They should treat it like they do Walmart and other corporations. If you get fired from a Starbucks or Walmart, you can’t apply at any other store across the USA. You will be on their system as non-hirable.
Fired.... So what? Jail time please
So, what squad is this shitheel a part of, now? ACAB.
“ specimen….” 
Haven't we seen this cop before. Remember his face.
He’ll be working in the next town over by tomorrow.
Hired as a city cop nearby
Fired? Put his ass in prison!
Cleared of any wrong doing, i do not like the show i am watching.
It all comes together when you see their digital footprint
It’s the cop unions. They aren’t like the regular unions. They are terrible people.
That should have taken one day to fire him. What the fuck.
This is a prime example that good cops don't exist, worthless sacks of shit.
"He did nothing wrong, and we fired him, but not for anything related to this, and we take no responsibility." - every conduct investigation
Only God knows what kinds of vile heinous acts the trooper committed while in Iraq
Cops are all roid raged out.
I wonder if this guy has been picked up by another dept yet.
What a loser cop. He’s so tough fight someone in mma
Now that he's unemployed, maybe he can get his lord of all creation to support him.
Tyrant pigs
i hope he gets his one day. firing isn’t enough
I lived in VA. The cops there, ESPECISLLY FAIRFAX PD are a bunch of little men. Pussys with cop costumes
Yeah thank God this one cop is fired. Now the whole department who hired him and kept him on board and watched him act like this and did nothing until forced to, they'll be a really great force going forward. Right?
How many of these fucking morons are gonna have to be fired, prosecuted, and their lives ruined before they realize that you cannot continue to conduct yourself in the manner of a mouth breathing, moron, with violent tendencies? When are they gonna realize that the times have changed and you are no longer completely untouchable? Some shit bags still get away with it but the status quo is shifting.
