Sheriff tells deputies to change their stories about what happened after pursuit

Body camera video from last year appears to show White County's former sheriff telling deputies to lie about what happened following a long pursuit.

[@caucasianafrican1435]

The Sheriff should be charged. The deputy who wouldn't lie should be the Sheriff.

He is still no better. He enforces unconstitutional firearms laws daily. Just like in this case,so what if the man had a weapon? Every free citizen has the right to bear whatever arms they choose. If your job is too dangerous for people to exercise their rights in front of you,then maybe their is a good reason why your job is forbidden by the constitution.

[@eidrahhtarts4102]

Freedom Inc. false. Felons and anyone with a violent criminal history cannot purchase whatever weapon they chose. Even then, the Supreme Court ruled it was constitutional to have limits on the arms that can be purchased such as fully automatic weapons.

[@karfndaltin4652]

Business as usual. First responders help bad cops make up lies to protect them. Synchronized and doctors at ER follow the lead. Do you know what happens when cops abandon illegal false arrest of suspect battered and dumped at the local ER. THE DOCTOR abuses the unresponsive patient stuffing amonia tablets in his nostrils and brags how they usually sit right up when he does this. That signals them that they are now accessories and must maintain the false narrative or they too become criminal elements to the false arrest and torture of an innocent unresponsive patient who doctor want to punish for whatever reason.

So he did his job correctly in the face of extreme lawbreaking. Whoop dee doo. I don't have to respect him. How many times did he let it go? How many disciplinary actions are in his file? I know nothing about him. He may have done what he did as part of a personal vendetta and not out of a desire to uphold the constitution and the law. Until all police departments are made up of people who do not have a gang mentality I will respect none of them.

[@heatherrrenea]

Except he actually turned his camera off and the video we watched came from the deputy that “had” attempted to turn his off but failed to properly turn it off. Meaning both seemed complicit and the only reason this was captured was because the one didn’t operate his camera properly. As for the one writing the report correctly idk maybe he decided later against it or maybe they realized the one camera wasn’t off and decided he’d better cover his tail but either way I would not feel anyone who would appear to be so complicit in such illegal activities should have a place in such a position. That is the reason we have the issues now is because of being complicit not deciding to stand for what is right and follow the law but rather just go along with what they’re told. We need real men with backbones and one of those guys should have stated directly to him that NO that is not what happened and I will not be any part of that.

This video is straight out of one of those movies from the 80's and 90's where sheriffs were the law and nobody dared to question them. They were always older, balding men, dumb, prejudiced, jaded, lazy, overweight, commanding obedience from their underlings and feared by everyone because their willingness to lie was well known. Their orders were followed without question, but then there was always that one officer who rebelled against made up evidence used to send an innocent person to jail. Just imagine how many times this sheriff lied and how much damage he did during his time as a law enforcement officer. His arrogance shows in his body language and his quick, sideways glances at his underlings. There was no doubt in his mind that they would all follow his orders and lie because he said so.

So, can I assume the less money spent on car repair means more budgeted money in the Sherriff's pocket? This seems very odd, "risk your life or take a life before you damage a vehicle... There is money involved with the Sherriff. Saving money on Insurance that went into the Sherriff's pocket?

[@marcosmota1094]

That *was* Alabama, and it was the county prison food budget from which the Sheriff could pocket savings.

[@ramonmirabal101]

Our kids are jeopardize today’s date with all the corruption going on with police departments they can ruin they life very easy for not reason. They are criminals with gun and badges.

[@petesmith9472]

It's why my bucket list of traveling to through the USA has changed. This BS is throughout the internet

[@panam4974]

Very pleased that Sgt. Theiss stood by the oath that he took when sworn in as a Tennessee peace officer. Glad that the s.o.b. "sheriff" no longer holds the office the he besmirched with his lies. If he hasn't been locked up, he should be. Just trash with a badge.

[@happyface2654]

"Thin Blue Liars" like be creating false police reports.

[@OGSAFUNKATEER1901]

I applaud that Sgt. Thank you sir. Serving with honor and integrity.

[@RoadRageLive]

At least there was one good officer on scene.

[@oldhillbilly4246]

Witch one I missed it . the one that didn't hand cuff the dirty sheriff on the spot with criminal offense caught on tape. 😕

[@alyakmi3511]

pa says right!! The one they are referring too turned his body cam off just like the rest of them. Who knows how many crimes he’s turned a blind eye to

[@ronallen6578]

So Shoup is basically allowed to give officers illegal orders and face nothing. Allowed to retire or resign and keep his retirement and or pension. They got this act of deception and I bet the countywoukd like to knowhow many more of this type of order was never reported. This is the norm for law enforcement and not the exception!!!!! 😢😢😢

[@thescrotor]

Funny, I still can't seem to find all those "good cops" people keep talking about

[@Cfomodz]

Yeah, people keep trying to prase the one deputy for not lying in his incident report, but how about his report on the sheriff for his gross miscon.... oh.... he never filed one....... How bizarre...How bizarre.

[@maryann7941]

This sheriff needs to be locked up.

[@TheWhiteAfghan]

The officer who told the truth should have been promoted to chief....

[@brendan8465]

Lol... Guarantee he gets fired.

[@enigmacrk200]

They said the one deputy filed his report with the truth. Guess it goes with out saying the rest of the cops there lied as instructed. Why are they not getting in trouble for filing false reports?

[@bruceday8464]

Nothing unusual here. Just another day in the USSA.

[@ginoyanez2932]

Sheriff: ok guys if you do something wrong,don't worry just change the story and that's it. Bodycam:. hold my beer I'll be right back!!!

[@ginoyanez2932]

Oh come on man are you serious??? Bodycam just drinks beer,!!it doesn't smoke meth pipe !!!

[@deeward729]

Disgraceful

[@lf3566]

Why is this even a story?! Allll police departments are guilty of this, all of them!!!

[@drdeath223]

Citation needed.....

[@ianstafford5996]

This man shouldn't be a cop.. Not surprised anymore with them cops.

[@angelocollins3372]

His cars which us taxpayers cars more worried about them then preserving a life

[@josephjones4620]

I'm glad that there was at least one honest officer on the force.I appreciate that 👨.The others who went with the sheriff's orders should be arrested and fired.

[@epsilonsilver7860]

@1:37, the eyes of a killer. I would bet money he buried bodies somewhere during his career.

[@jc.1191]

Yeah, that was sadistic af!

[@FeverDreamRemix]

They are trained to lie!!!! Why are most people unaware of this?!? Its not against the law for them to lie to you. They encourage it!!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@Tazman1234]

Good job officer, we need more officers like you who won't lie regardless if his chief ask him to....

[@77news97]

I just now left a message on (now CAPTAIN) Nate Theiss's voicemail at the White County Sheriff's office in Tennessee. I told him how great it to have people like him in law enforcement.

[@tigersteele9552]

THE SHERIFF NEEDS PRISON TIME AND LOSE HIS JOB AND RETIREMENT MONEY!!!

[@dianalynn3959]

EXACTLY

[@alanwarner7057]

Ha ha ha ha the cops lie to fit the narrative. The one honest deputy should be promoted to trainer, or Sargent.

[@wavydavy3737]

That sarge was not honest. Why did he turn off his bodycam? Cops should not be able to turn off a bodycam ever, even taking a shit. all bodycams should be uploaded to the city's cloud with no erase function.

[@markford3409]

People like this sheriff should be in jail this is the biggest problem too many get away to this day with lies like this people die and still no jail it's a joke

[@jayjay269]

More deputies need to stand up and do the right thing, especially in the face of a rouge sheriff. Good on the the one deputy who didn’t compromise his integrity for the sake of the Sheriff. Ever one of his colleagues who didn’t report accurately on their report should be terminated and never allowed to be employed as a police or deputy anywhere. Ever.

[@patricialucious7058]

This is the only reason they'd cut off the camera. To hide and change the facts.

[@lindastuart8787]

They are always doing this how many other cases have they lied on. Open up all of their cases how many they done this to. Fire the chief period

[@fragelicious]

Why was he not charged with obstructing justice? BS

[@MrsLars]

Thank you, Sgt Nate Theiss for telling the truth. We need more good men like you in law enforcement.

[@robertireland61]

I want to commend that officer 👍. That's the kind we the people want and need!

[@heatherrrenea]

Robert Ireland, uh you might wanna watch that again. Looks more like he’s complicit with breaking the law along with his boss because he “did” turn off his camera and even stated that to the other one and the other one was also complicit because he tried to turn his camera off but failed to properly turn it off and the only read this came out was because the one didn’t work his camera properly. As for his report it is most likely he found out his partner didn’t turn his camera off properly and decided to cover his tell. If commending someone for being complicit in breaking the law especially those sworn to uphold it is your thing then go right ahead but looks like crooks in the video. Just sayin.

[@robmoney4life]

@@heatherrrenea yup

[@ardvark84]

I'm planning a bank robbery but I can't quite explain to bank security why turning off the cameras for a certain time is a good idea. This guy would help me a lot cause he clearly knows how to do it properly.

[@77news97]
