Dashcam video shows White County sheriff's deputy lied on arrest report

Video shows why prosecutors lost faith in "bad apple" officer

[@ariefraiser140]

Why didn't the DA also turn around and charge the criminal cop?

It is common place, been going on for quite some time. But now you are able to see because of Technology. Such as body cams,surveillance cameras,social media and the media. (And the Media is 💯 one way, lying,corrupt, and bent on stirring up the situation which is already bad) I do not have any love for the police that’s for damn sure! They have been breaking the law they feel they are above the law and they are right because The Thin Blue Line is just another gang. In my opinion no better than the KKK/BLM/ANTIFA! And they are taught to lie Legally. But it is a complete double standard. Because it is against the law to lie to the police. So how can you be legal for them to lie to you? Our government has grown too large and two corrupt. The government needs to go through a full purge. And I am not meaning killing anyone. Just removal of anyone who is currently in our government at this time and if you have worked for the government ever in your life you should never be able to work in the government again, along with anyone in your family. I can hardly believe that a man with dementia has been elected as president. A man who has been in our government for 48 years and has done nothing but be a bigot used government to make money in back room shady deals with China and Ukraine along with bragging about it! We need term limits not geriatrics running our country. I could go on and on but hopefully people see my point.

You know he has probably been working at another department, since the day he resigned from that one. Departments don't mind hiring cops with shitty records, if they did there wouldn't be many police.

Ticket was dismissed but the 1st cop started rumors about my buddy. Eventually the 1st cop was fired for a negligent discharge into his patrol vehicle and falsifying the report.
