Now these are real Journalists..... I'm proud of these professionals... Keep it up!

[@SirVentofLord]

This happens more then anyone would like to believe. In every state!

[@tookitogo]

Michael C Well, I don’t agree with you about government workers in general (many of them are indifferent, but not dangerous like bad cops), but I absolutely agree with you regarding law enforcement. For a few years now, I’ve been saying that we need to “reboot” law enforcement in USA, with a strict prohibition on any existing LEOs from participating in the new police in any way. Civilians and ex-military only. We deserve to be policed the way we the citizens consider to be reasonable. Sadly, in recent decades, the police have become totally divorced from what civilians consider reasonable.

[@cheeseymccheese7249]

Sates, countries, governments, ect, 99% of people are corrupt.

[@rafaelacosta8822]

I appreciate the tenacity that this reporter and his station have to expose the blatant corruption in one of many agencies in that state.

[@jewishman2687]

THIS is real journalism, like the great papers used to do. Thank You!

[@Watchingyou-daily]

The governor should have been charged also

[@truckingjoeforever7368]

They all need to be in JAIL for at least 20 years!

[@elsanyanyinvengadoryjustic8193]

Lol this commisiner is a real pig.

[@charlesmelonson1912]

Thank You John

[@sweetwarrior4035]

You all did a great job in your year long stake outs and investigating all the parties involved!

[@rebeccaparker1982]

Awesome job by the investigative reporter and the news station .

[@46jazzz]

Awesome Investigative Journalism...

[@executivetravelofnashville8582]

This is a great investigation very entertaining and satisfying knowing that somebody is keeping up with our government officials and our police officers to make sure that they follow the laws that they expect us to

[@santanaduncan9047]

It's less about making sure they follow the laws, n more to do with KUST EXPOSING the violations. The system is too great n corrupted to actually change... these corrupted get replaced w more corruption It's sad... n WE the ppl continue to PAY

thank you for this.. please do more.

[@disturbedlife5691]

The justice system won't let us police because then we'll go higher up the ladder. This went from one cop, to a whole department, to the State Police Commission, to the Govenor....now imagine this is every cop, Dept, commission, and Govenor in every state. That's where we are right now

[@saltymasteratarms8855]

Disturbed Life And if the American people come together and stop paying taxes it will starve them out

[@ALsCatHouse]

Yep it is no state is exempt!

[@roofermarc1]

Of course they fix tickets for themselves. there above us only the poor pay

[@jesusbalderrama2369]

Good job investigators!

[@royhoco5748]

the governor should be forced to resign and the charged for his complicity in this

[@thomasmaughan4798]

This is some excellent investigative journalism.

[@janelis156]

This reporter is no nonsense. Great investigative reporting.

[@phenomagator]

Quality journalism.

[@jonk6137]

I would bet my beating heart this happens every single day for politicians police officers lawyers and judges, ill say it again EVERY SINGLE EFFING DAY

[@armonrakhman3791]

That's why people are calling for reform

[@VMIHATER]

In every effing town in America. This kinda makes me want to live like it was 1770's.

[@huneyboss1672]

Great investigative work by the news team .

[@Steve_Hayden]

To the reporters and staff that did all this, FUCKING GOOD JOB!

[@kellystanley5892]

Great show!

[@sammybubba176]

so instead of going home and setting down the law to his sloppy drunk reckless driving daughter, he attempts to malign and injure the trooper who got her off the road. good daddy.

[@peterpluim7912]

You say ‘professional courtesy’, I say ‘extortion, malfeasance’.

[@roastpork4]

Great job it’s about time we see real journalisms again you sir have restored my faith in human beings !!! Thank you !

[@robinhurni4245]

Great reporting!Watching with great interest from Pittsburgh! Good job on getting this out there

[@raymondburton1838]

Great reporting

[@barksdale69]

Great job on investigating. Superb work! My two cents, NO public official should EVER be allowed to take a government vehicle home. EVER! I wished i had the stats on how much tax payers are paying for gasoline for the public officials to do personal errands in government vehicles.Some cops are commiting crimes in off duty government vehicles.

[@gaylemc2692]

Excellent journalism.

[@johnsweeney6072]

Great job and please watch your backs. You’s hurt some powerful people

[@theprophetez1357]

Kudos for the great investigative journalism.

[@Freddieduda]

Great work from FOX 8. It says a lot when a TV company can do a year long investigation into police corruption and expose the guilty while internal affairs who`s job it is, sit and do absolutely nothing.

[@johnwilliamson2276]

I live in PA and am very interested in your series, so, I am astonished that you only have 60 likes for this segment! What's with the empathy in LA?

[@pinoy44]

these investigators have done a very good job....

[@peggyreely8339]

This is why we need courageous investigative reporters. Much respect!

[@ivypixley7451]

Good job fox 8 need more people watching out for corruption and making them accountable

[@sizier]

Can't say I'm a fan of Fox News, but this is a job well done. Good on you Fox News for investigating and running this story.

[@josephdietz3446]

the local fox news networks are independent of the cable news superstation what happened in 1998 was fox bought a bunch of CBS stations in cities around the country . It kept those reporters on so local Fox Stations generally are pretty good

[@motherhorsefucker]

You can actually find some really good liberal opinion articles on fox News

[@MaaThaRainbowGoddess]

Yeah but of course Fox News would find the one Black guy that's corrupt! Their racist asses been doing shit like this since this country's inception tho!

[@joerob3449]

Ma'aT ThaRainbowGoddess the one black guy 😂😂😂 what about the 2 troopers and damn near every black with any political power lol

[@MaaThaRainbowGoddess]

@@joerob3449 Mah point went deeper than your little peanut!😂 Don't get your circuits blown now🤔

[@mikerentiers]

I realize I am dropping this on a very old video but it perfectly captures what our media should be like. I assume this is a local org? We truly need to stop supporting all nation news and especially cable news and focus all of our support on outlets like this. Truth, facts, holding the powerful to account. This is what this nation needs so badly.

[@scottsmith9192]

So funny how liars and thief's act when shown evidence..... Never can explain their behavior....

[@Ed19601]

And all suddenly have memory lapses

[@reinaldoiturrino1853]

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING LIGHT TO THE DARKNESS

[@Mitch-zr4wb]

This report is why local news is so important

[@patrickshook916]

Good reporting Great job, I hope that you were not harassed after you were exposed these CROOKS !

[@markperkins9437]

These journalist are outstanding!

[@b1sayan]

They spend our tax money this way ALL DAY LONG!

[@jamespelkey8150]

Wow,, the power of the camera, press, and most of all HONEST PROFESSIONAL, AND FEARLESS REPORTERS, If this reporter was a police officer, for the very first time I would say I feel safe and proud of law enforcement, BUT unfortunately he is not, and I can not. Well it sucks to be me.

[@erikarabie]

Great journalism!

[@EGstill85]

I love how they felt the need to hire a Tulane law professor for the entire series to help break down these complex legal issues for us regular folk without years of fancy book learnin’

[@jakesis2525]

Great work!

[@connieeveritt5704]

Professional courtesy would be to treat everyone equally under the one same law. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

[@Emilthehun]

You are the true hero!!!

[@elsabeleroux7896]

LET THE CLEAN UP BEGIN!!!!! I'M WIPING MY HANDS IN GLEE. INVESTIGATING JOURNALISTS, YOU DOING A G.R.E.A.T JOB AND DON'T STOP. KUDOS.

[@danmccollom3938]

Great job of exposing these bunch of thives. Thank you.

[@KristoffRand]

dude this is the kinda stuff that gets reporters hurt... thats one brave man... props.

[@terri1047]

Awesome report.

[@fernandorojas919]

Good job 👍

[@Bonniemish]

How can you resign for corruption and criminal activity!? How can you resign from facing your charges!? What's really criminal is that they collaborate for no criminal charges!

[@jdbreaux8080]

Outstanding investigation! You have produced a true work of art. You need to take this work to Hollywood and give all of these uniformed thugs the notoriety that they all deserve right up to the slimy Governor as he doesn't have the time to be bothered over this. Let me throw out a nice title, "BLAZE2: The Millennial Generation." *WVUE, don't fail us now!* Get all of these thugs on the silver screen so this story lives on until all of these thug pass away. These guys make the Long family look like angles. I would not even feed my gators with this nasty tainted meat. The movie money made from the film should go to charging all of these thugs as the criminals they are and before throwing them in prison they should forfeit every financial account they hold and liquidate every dime of their pension. Typical Louisiana politics. We hang suites on street thugs, get them nice SUVs to drive around in (let them sit in their driveways at home) and they rob the public blind and then turn around and illegally selectively enforce laws on anyone that is not a personal friend or family member. Yeah, great job thugs! You can suck my crawfish head. Resign my ass. Send that lying thug to prison! Oh, but first tase each of them until they drop to the floor, then tase them 17 more times just to show them how it feels when they did it to others.

[@reinaldoiturrino1853]

The members of the same gang will protect themselves.They call it professional courtesy. I call it corruption at its highest level

[@peggyreely8339]

Calvin Braxton deserves the boot for his "suit" alone.

[@my1stytchannel]

This needs so many more views

[@hill2hill4]

OUTSTANDING !!!!

[@oldhick9047]

Huey would be proud, some things never change.

[@bobobrien1304]

Congratulations Louisiana! You edged out Massachusetts for most corrupt state!

[@stevendidline6785]

You guys did a good job on your investigation I hope that all the people that you caught violating the law are arrested and they lost everything that they own and served hard times not this 3 months 18 months in jail that's it I'm talking 20 years I hope they are in jail to this day thanks to your team

[@Platoface]

No wonder I got a speeding ticket in Louisiana even though I’d never been there. True.

[@peterdonnelly4551]

Since the airing of this program and investigation. What has become of the troopers and all involved. And was restitution repaid of those thousands of dollars paid to the fraudsters. Would love to knows the answer.

[@davidhudson5452]

Well done

[@thirdspacemaker9141]

9:14 What did he mean by the East Baton Rouge Parish has joined that investigation and subpoenaed your records? Was there another installment on that?

[@TheRantingCabbie]

The commissioners attitude towards that reporter was basically "fuck you".

[@janekuspaua9580]

I would like to work for you. To help stop the corruption

[@peternorthrup6274]

We got you covered buddy.

[@slikdarelic]

the media will always be the most powerful people in the world.. thank u!

[@darylhoyt5012]

Absolutely superb investigative reporting. Just imagine the nationwide scope of this problem... I believe it stems from the attitude rife within the law enforcement community that those involved in law enforcement are, themselves, exempt from compliance with the statutes they enforce upon others. Handheld cellphone use by officers while operating their vehicles is a common sight. I followed an officer at least 10 minutes through stop and go city traffic and observed him using his computer to visit entertainment sites, watch news, etc., while operating his cruiser. What is sad is that serious issues of fraud and abuse of power, not really that invisible to anyone working closely with the perpetrators, only seem to be “discovered” by governmental officials after some (often) hazardous investigative reporting has brought the abuses out into public awareness.

[@edwardhickey5185]

I had a senior chief in the Navy do the same thing. To me . He would not hold his friends and family accountable. For any thing. So what I did is retired because I couldn't server with people like this. These people have no honor.

[@dr.bherrin]

The balls you have to have to write it down, where you can't deny it later...like wow. Dude just wrote it down like it was okay.

[@SarahDigsHockey]

OK what did I miss. How did this video jump from Braxton resigning to a "side trip" connected to Edmunson. What side trip?

[@hugokatz]

How can the police police themselves when they are this openly corrupt?

[@tonyarellano4194]

Bro, GREAT WORK!! THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO FIND OUT ABOUT OUR FINEST QUALITY OF SERVICE FROM THIS THUGGS!!! CRIMINALS ON DIFFERENT FRONTS..

[@tonyarellano4194]

Why they never get the punishment they deserve?? Anyone of us endup in jail with no way out, this MFRs get one hundred of the punishment, and they come back to their positions clean slate!!! WTF...

[@bobbiehall2705]

Keep on Backing the Blue!!!!

NO COURTESY CALLS - PERIOD! That in itself should be a violation!

[@jennb5884]

Sounds like they need a new governor too..

[@allenjohnsin7712]

They make. Enough money to pay them snall fines

[@Johnmiller-hp4mt]

So what happens to them after they resign. Do you think it's the same as if me or you would resign.

[@murphmurph2124]

Makes me wonder how many innocent citizens these criminals have harmed.

[@chrisfloyd8512]

Did you look into how many of the state's vehicles are bought through Braxton's car dealership?

[@coastalpaladin5024]

Perfect example of corruption in this country. I am Former US Army and it really makes me wonder what I was fighting for. It is sad.

[@reinaldoiturrino1853]

Well sovereign citizens and their families don’t get tickets is that understood? We have our own laws !

[@tonycerino3063]

And these are the a--holes that get to keep their guns?

[@thecurtray]

great job people

[@jimramos2723]

Shows the level of corruption. Go's to the top

[@lucygrace1193]

SO MANY of these troopers AND public officials should be fired & charged!!!

[@timgallagher9229]

Did anyone notice how that law professor kept adding ly at the end of words that it didn't belong on. " they need to be held accountably to their actions" He did it multiple times with different words. Just a little weird

[@richardmcdonald35]

We the people are going to react accordingly

[@slobbertwut4314]

Wut trooper sayed dat?

[@osowers6755]

Years ago I rode with a NM state trooper in his private vehicle. He ran stop signs, sped constantly and even ran stop lights. I asked if he was worried about city police or sheriffs but he said not to worry they all knew him. I also helped a state trooper tow his car to the mechanic and he was breaking the speed limit the whole time and got made at me (in the tow vehicle) for braking.

[@nooopenoway4071]

Corrupt cowards.

[@rongray4118]

If people are unable to understand how these things go on in perpetuity -- look at how many people are in the room while the "commissioners" conduct business...being "too busy to attend" is the wrong way to respond to these guys and what they are up to...

[@user-mi3pv7ql4g]

Do these crooks get to keep their pensions? Poor tax payers

[@donnafancher6969]

This happens everywhere. Sickens me

[@ronaldlombardi8740]

Corruption corruption corruption! People that are in high office expect to do what they want! They need to be voted out!
