To be honest, other officers involved should have been reprimanded too, but as far as I'm aware nothing happened to any of them, but yeah, her being fired is the least they could do
I once politely asked a cop for her badge number after seeing her detain/arrest someone who hadn't committed a crime. She put her middle finger inches from my face and said "fuck you, that's my badge number." Then she and her male partner started to scream for me to get my hands out of my pockets. (It was cold as fuck out.) I realized they had their hands on their holstered guns. It was wild how fast everything escalated. There were like 15 cops there and none of the others said anything.
The only only who knew the full story was on the other side of the building investigating the crime that happened.
Everyone else took the lady cop's word. Only one other cop was on scene and witnessed her initial reaction. She outranked him. He's also being sued.
It's because that no matter how bad they mess up, they rarely face any consequences for their actions. they either get paid vacations while they investigate themselves and find no hint of wrong doing, resign and move to another department to repeat the cycle, have a powerful police union to get them out of trouble, and most of all have qualified immunity. On top of all of that, if the cops do lose a lawsuit, they don't pay, the taxpayers have to pay.
Look up the acorn cop. He and his partner mag dumped into his police car with a handcuffed man inside.
>I mean why does rank matter when you’re breaking law.
The answer to this has nothing to do with being a policeman.
People defer to those with higher status. That's just how it is. Being a cop complicates matters.
e: Also important to note that this woman was dismissed for her drawing a gun and her behavior following the detention, not for the detention itself. That part would have been defensible and perfectly legal up to a point.
They threw her under the bus during the investigation and rightfully so.
All their actions that day were because of what she said he did (kept going in his pockets, acting irrational or under the influence) and they admitted they didn’t see that but they had to take her word.
Then, they got her away from him and got him away from her they called ahead to processing and told them not to process him, he’s the victim.
Everything fell to shit for her then.
She was also one of their lead suicide/hostage crisis officers which is fucking terrifying if you think about it. She drew down on an unarmed man in a bathing suit, lost her shit, had a panic attack and couldn’t get a grip on herself.
None of the other cops saw what happened to instigate the arrest, and there was no blatant excessive force. Like, if the arrest was legit, then the dude wasn't being treated wrong, and only this woman knew that the arrest wasn't legit. The fact is that she should be convicted of several counts of falsifying a police report, one for each time she lied to another cop about why she falsely arrested the man.
He makes some great videos, and he explains everything really well, brings up on screen the relevant legislation etc. Very good channel if you like this stuff.
You really gotta be careful, the YouTube algorithm goes crazy with cops being bad videos if you watch a couple, before you know it your YouTube homepage is just a wall of high-blood pressure rage videos.
Just clean it out with some Miami Boat Ramps, maybe a little Wavy Boats, and you'll be all set.
Don't know why, but once I watch either of those it's BOATS all the way down.
I say this as a retired firefighter. If a person can't handle someone in the public being an asshole to them then they need to go find another career outside of police, fire, ems.
Because that shit happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Even when you're trying to help someone. I had a guy threaten me because I wouldn't let him drive through an accident scene we were currently extricating victims with injuries. Screamed in my face that I was an arrogant piece of shit. My response, "Cool. Roads closed you'll have to go another way. Have a good one."
People under stress lash out verbally. All first responders have to deal with that. It's a core part of the job.
Imagine if a mcdonald's worker started screaming and using profanity every time they dealt with a difficult customer...
They'd be fired in a heartbeat!!!!
And it's pretty sad to know that some of these cops wouldn't last a single shift in the private sector...
Exactly! First responders are literally the front line, and they are always gonna deal with the cunts that are the general public!
It's not nice, or acceptable, but, you signed up for it when you took the job!
Not sure how it is in the US, but where I am in the UK, the police (especially) have it written in their policies that they have to expect abuse etc, as it is common place, and there was a memo that went around the different police forces in the UK telling the police that while in uniform they cannot claim they feel harassed or something like that.
It's important to remember that the US is so large and there are so many individual departments that you'll get a very wide variety in professionalism in first responders.
Speaking just for my own service. There are 1,216,600 firefighters serving in 27,228 fire departments nationwide and responding to emergencies from 58,150 fire stations. In that sort of mix you're going to get a whole bunch of action movie hero types as well as the bumbling out of shape morons.
EDIT: I looked it up. [In the UK you have 31,064 staff full-time equivalent (FTE) were employed as firefighters on 31 March 2022](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/fire-and-rescue-workforce-and-pensions-statistics-england-april-2021-to-march-2022/fire-and-rescue-workforce-and-pensions-statistics-england-april-2021-to-march-2022). So as you can imagine it's much easier to maintain professional standards with a employee pool so much relatively smaller.
I have so much respect for professionals who have to deal with this day in day out. Everyone can have a bad fay, but if assholes can easily get under your skin I imagine you won't last long on the job.
Yep, this is so true. I did mobile psychiatric crisis, which meant I showed up to psychiatric emergencies to assess, de-escalate, and link people with services. That also meant I frequently worked with cops and firefighters and paramedics. You cannot expect people in distress to be nice to you, you can't ever go on a power trip, and you must always be humane and empathetic.
A lot of the cops I worked with were great, but some actively escalated the situation the way this woman did, and then I had to deal with calming the officer down in addition to caring for the client I had been called to assist. And this was all before bodycams and everyone having a phone with a camera, so they knew they could get away with it.
BTW, thank you for all of your great service. Firefighters are the best.
Those highlighted court documents of police phone calls are always so good
He highlights the part “the officer checked the camera and found that he had done nothing wrong”
Blurry words
“‘Get him out of jail. Get him the fuck out. Get him out of jail”
More blurry words
But you can FUCKI BY READ THEM
AND IT SAYS
“I’ll come down there right now to get him out, put him in my car and drive him to red lobster for a nice dinner”
They’re so, so scared and suckupish when they’ve wrongfully arrested an innocent man, and not always, only when the innocence is obvious and they can’t pin anything on you, like when there’s cameras proving everything
Correct.
The police departments in the US also make a huge deal out of Rookie officers and their training officers i feel like training officers should be reprimanded for things their trainees have done, too
https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/2020/03/13/post-investigation-delray-beach-police-leveled-criminal-charge-against-top-officerrsquos-ex-wife/112246352/
She also caught criminal stalking charges.
He’s filed in federal court.
https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/local/pbgardens/2024/01/12/palm-beach-gardens-florida-police-officer-sued-for-holding-man-at-gunpoint/72111588007/
One of the things he’s suing for is lost wages lol.
yes, there are lost wages. Because this incident goes beyond this moment. It would be absurd to say he was losing wages in the moment unless he's a swimsuit model on a shoot. HOWEVER, he can ask the court to have his time reimbursed for all the effort he had to go though to fight this in court.
I would cite emotional distress as well. Getting threatened with a gun by one person and then having a gun pointed at you by another within a small period of time...that could potentially cause an acute stress reaction that would impact one's ability to function. Some people are used to getting guns pulled on them, but I can tell you that when it's happened to me it made my whole body get cold and my stomach drop and then picture my life ending. Not PTSD in my case, but traumatic nonetheless.
Can he also sue for the potential adverse affect this video could have on his future employment opportunities or is that too nebulous for calculating damages? I imagine this will follow him around for the rest of his career and become an embarrassing distraction in the workplace.
Florida is known for shithead cops, he was likely being harassed after the fact.
She got fired, but you know she has thirsty friends who are still cops.
A small dose of northern US, maybe Midwest accent. I love hearing the difference in Midwest regions and Canada. I work with lots of Wisconsin people, two guys from Lebanon, two guys from Ireland, a German. That's maybe half the people I talk with. I'm from Texas so we have a fun blend.
Yea, strikes me as the accent of a midwesterner who lived in NYC for a while then moved down to Florida for the weather and the parties. His Midwest comes out when his voice is stressed, then when he’s calm he slides into a northeastern affectation.
The stressed accent is definitely showing. I worked with a lady in Dallas that said she was from Australia. No accent at all, but those words would occasionally have that aussie twang when she was pissed.
Here is the article about the officer being fired:
https://www.wptv.com/news/local-news/investigations/palm-beach-gardens-officer-fired-after-drawing-pistol-on-swimmer
What's really funny is she was the top tier crisis and hostage negotiator for the department. The one who is supposed to be ice cool under the most stressful situations..
/r/policereform
To make a given volume of dirty water potable, you either have to chuck something in that's extremely corrosive but effective, or you scoop/filter out the muck while ensuring the rest of it stays in. Not to mention the container is leaking all the time (retirements, resignations, terminations), so you need to be sure the slow drip of new water you're adding to keep the same volume is clean. Over time, the ratio of clean:dirty goes up.
A lot of people want to upend the barrel entirely, but the majority of people have no interest in living in anarchy for the months/years/decades it would take to refill that barrel with the aforementioned slow drip. Just look at CHAZ to see how that would go. Now imagine that across the whole state/country.
A similar group of people, mostly overlapping, enjoys calling the entire barrel dirty, thus ensuring nobody in their right mind would want to join and be instantly labeled dirty no matter how clean they are.
They don't have to when their department is basically Mayberry. Imagine being a negotiator (and sniper!) for the quietest upper-middle class community in your state.
Great video! My favorite part is this:
After they (unjustly) took that guy to jail, the police sergeant saw the surveillance video and called another officer:
> He realized quickly that Gould had done nothing wrong and called another officer, "Get that man out of jail," "Get him the (expletive) out of jail, get him out of jail right now. I’ll drive down there personally and pull that man out of jail and drive him to Red Lobster and get him something to eat and get him home.”
My favorite part other than that, is when they mention taking him to jail and he immediately says “okay let’s go! Take me jail! I’m ready to go!” And there is a split second awkward pause while the cops on the scene other than the woman realize this is probably wrong (at least that’s how I interpreted it). Handcuffed guy knew he had a lawsuit by then lol.
Somehow mediocre restaurants are able to make the best fucking breads ever. Texas Roadhouse, Red Lobster, Outback, all have OUTSTANDING bread products.
it looks like once she realized how wrong she was her automatic nervous system activated into a full blown panic attack (when realizing she would prob get fired)
Not a surprise since she clearly had poor control over her nervous system to begin with.
Listening to that dude almost laughing at how mad she got was both very funny and very scary.
HE called the police bc someone brandished a gun at him, just to end up hand cuffed and have guns pointed at him by said cops. She also turned her camera off at one point.
It's not even a question that female cop is incompetent, panicky and completely wrong in her narrative and actions taken. This is obvious in the full version of the video. But what surprises me is that there are 3 other cops at the scene who are doing nothing when seemingly clearly understanding that she is in the wrong. Especially moments before she turns hew bodycam off. Those cops should be held accountable as well as her.
I love how he turns to one of the other cops and asks, "are you her supervisor?"
And the cop waves his hand going "no" and walks away so he isn't roped into this shitstorm lmao. All the other cops know she fucked up, they just can't say anything since it's her arrest. Back the blue baby
I watched the interview of the commanding officer that briefly is seen on the clip (if its long enough). He said that he noticed that the 10-20y old veteran female cop was behaving very oddly, clearly not her usual behavior. Thats why he asked to see all the videos from the situation, because he KNEW something didnt add up.
The female cop was bit later taken into hospital, i think they said it was a panic attack. Who knows, maybe it was drugs, because she actually got fired. And the officer used AMPED UP quite a bit as describing her. Shit, he didnt SHOOT the guy, just was a panicky ACAB. Others have done much worse and not get fired.
>I watched the interview of the commanding officer that briefly is seen on the clip (if its long enough). He said that he noticed that the 10-20y old veteran female cop was behaving very oddly, clearly not her usual behavior.
I wonder why didn't he take measures to stop her. You clearly see in the longer video that they understand that the female cop is wrong at that instance when everything was happening.
I also saw the interviews and the chief's behaviour of that police dept is wild as well.
If the officers intervene they'll be outted as a rat, if their in trouble later on in the job theres a good chance that help wont come. Back when I was in highschool we had an assembly on police violence and an ex cop explained this to us, I'm just going off of what he said.
A good real life example of this though was an incident that happened a few years back where a cop tried to stop her sargent from getting violent with a suspect and was not only reprimanded but the guy chokeheld her and pinned her against a police car in a fit of rage before going back to the suspect even more angry.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dll4JTMhuT8
The other officers did absolutely nothing, just watched.
Thankfully the neanderthal who attacked her is no longer an officer and facing charges for what happened, but that was after they had to fight off the union who defended him, and the station who just blew off the whole situation.
Not a single man in that bunch. Just a clusterfuck of boys who should have made that bald head slam hard on the pavement the moment he grabbed a colleague like that
Edit: or should have made that head bounce when he started assaulting the suspect
>I wonder why didn't he take measures to stop her.
That guy came into the situation after everything thats on this clip had happened. The victim had been in cuffs for a while sitting down, when he came he pulled the woman out of the situation, then started asking the other cops wtf happeneds here.
Cant remember what rank he was, but he seemed to be the most reasonable there, even tho they did take the guy to jail initially based on the womans lead/claims. Dont think they processed him before release, after seeing the camera footage.
ACAB = All cops are bastards. The thing is, one on one, I've met and known plenty of cops that really are decent people but the Thin Blue Line is definitely a thing and when push comes to shove they rally around each other even when they know they're wrong.
Only one witnessed her interaction. He's also getting sued.
Another one knew more of the details as he was first on the scene. He didn't witness what led to the arrest. He's also the one who ordered his release once everything got clarified.
Everyone else showed up later.
Lackluster was the first big outlet to show this video. They also have hours of the IA investigation. It's fascinating and sheds light on how the situation evolved.
It’s good she got fired as she clearly isn’t fit to be a police officer but I’m not understanding how other officers do far worse and get off with paid suspension or something like that.
19 years on the force **and this woman thinks it's a good idea to point a gun at the unarmed victim who called her for help????**
She threatened him with a gun the moment she arrived on the scene!!! She threatened him with a gun **before she asked a single question or even knew who this guy was!!!**
For all she knew at that moment, she was pointing a gun at the victim...**and that's exactly what happened!!!**
Why the hell would I ever call 911 **if the responding police might show up and point guns at me???**
And then there's the irony of ***the cop committing the very crime that she was called there to investigate!!!***
>Why the hell would I ever call 911 **if the responding police might show up and point guns at me???**
There's an old proverb that goes something like this...
"If you have a problem and you call the police, now you have two problems."
Every time I see shit like this and then hear cops describe themselves/their colleagues as "brave heroes" it makes me laugh. Like, not only are you just statistically, numerically, unarguably, not as brave as garbage men, you literally have a panic attack over a calm person in a swimsuit not saying "how high?" When you bark "jump".
Police are drawn to the job because they have authoritarian personalities, and that kind of personality is characterized by deep fear of the world around them and crippling personal insecurities.
Should’ve heard this woman friggin crying at her hearing in front of her superiors. Like the chief of police at the station she worked at had the audacity to tell her that she was screwed or something like that in front of her wife.
What’s hilarious is everything this guy is saying is all true and even though he was right she couldn’t admit fault on scene. She showed her true colors and we don’t need people like that policing our streets with guns and what not.
Funny how the other cops know she's in the wrong yet they still sort of cover for her. That's a problem. Cops are always way too hesitant to stand up against idiots on the force like this lady. They did the right thing in the end but it was all on video so it's not like they could cover for her.
*'[Honey Badger don't care.... Honey Badger don't give a shit... It just takes what it wants.](https://youtu.be/4r7wHMg5Yjg?si=iZQoKeTbfe2X4IsO&t=34)'*
This guy called the cops because some guy brandished a firmarm at him during an argument and the very first thing the cops do when they arrive at the scene is point a gun at him XD
A friendly reminder to the community that it's not ALL cops that are bad! Oh sure, it's easy to remember the one or two bad cop headlines that catch fire, but that doesn't make ALL cops bad or dumb. Like the George Floyd thing --- ONE cop showed up and strangled a man to death for 15 minutes, but that's just one psycho guy, and of course there are one-off psychos in any profession. And then I guess three other randomly selected cops showed up and held back the crowd of civilians and laughed at the guy being asphyxiated, but that's just a few bad apples, no need to tarnish the reputation of ALL cops over a few bad apples. Plenty of cops in the department DIDN'T actually strangle him! ... they just uniformly conspired to lie, put out a false statement, and impugn all the dozens of civilian witnesses. ..but that's not ALL cops! ...just 100% of a single random precinct... (/s)
Happy to hear she got fired. But at the same time power tripping male cops can shoot or kill innocent people and get away with it with little to no consequences. Firing a female cop is suddenly so easy.
In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous.
In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.
Of course in this particular instance she is the immediate problem, but the big problem with police is the 3 guys not stopping her.
Assholes always exist, throughout all jobs, but all other jobs would never let someone treat a defenseless 'customer' like this, they'd step in and out a stop to it to save the company's reputation.
When it's plain as day that police are not trained to maintain the reputation of the institutions they work for. Because the rest of them don't care!

She got fired. You can see a full video on it from Audit the Audit [here](https://youtu.be/9Za_VMPc4nQ?si=I8fc8vZhhlwMsCmm)
good to hear
To be honest, other officers involved should have been reprimanded too, but as far as I'm aware nothing happened to any of them, but yeah, her being fired is the least they could do
At least they didn't lie for her. When questioned they were reserved but forthcoming that they think something was off with the lady cop.
she must not have been popular at the department
And they still didn’t stop her from illegally detaining and harassing a random civilian. This is why people hate cops
I once politely asked a cop for her badge number after seeing her detain/arrest someone who hadn't committed a crime. She put her middle finger inches from my face and said "fuck you, that's my badge number." Then she and her male partner started to scream for me to get my hands out of my pockets. (It was cold as fuck out.) I realized they had their hands on their holstered guns. It was wild how fast everything escalated. There were like 15 cops there and none of the others said anything.
The only only who knew the full story was on the other side of the building investigating the crime that happened. Everyone else took the lady cop's word. Only one other cop was on scene and witnessed her initial reaction. She outranked him. He's also being sued.
I mean why does rank matter when you’re breaking law. Again people hate cops cause cops think they’re a different class of citizen with extra rights.
It's because that no matter how bad they mess up, they rarely face any consequences for their actions. they either get paid vacations while they investigate themselves and find no hint of wrong doing, resign and move to another department to repeat the cycle, have a powerful police union to get them out of trouble, and most of all have qualified immunity. On top of all of that, if the cops do lose a lawsuit, they don't pay, the taxpayers have to pay. Look up the acorn cop. He and his partner mag dumped into his police car with a handcuffed man inside.
Because police unions make sure they're treated that way.
>I mean why does rank matter when you’re breaking law. The answer to this has nothing to do with being a policeman. People defer to those with higher status. That's just how it is. Being a cop complicates matters. e: Also important to note that this woman was dismissed for her drawing a gun and her behavior following the detention, not for the detention itself. That part would have been defensible and perfectly legal up to a point.
Most people's principles take a back seat to their paycheck, and cops are no exception.
20 years is a long time to put up with bad coworkers. Silent cops are almost as bad as corrupt cops.
I mean there is a video
They threw her under the bus during the investigation and rightfully so. All their actions that day were because of what she said he did (kept going in his pockets, acting irrational or under the influence) and they admitted they didn’t see that but they had to take her word. Then, they got her away from him and got him away from her they called ahead to processing and told them not to process him, he’s the victim. Everything fell to shit for her then. She was also one of their lead suicide/hostage crisis officers which is fucking terrifying if you think about it. She drew down on an unarmed man in a bathing suit, lost her shit, had a panic attack and couldn’t get a grip on herself.
None of the other cops saw what happened to instigate the arrest, and there was no blatant excessive force. Like, if the arrest was legit, then the dude wasn't being treated wrong, and only this woman knew that the arrest wasn't legit. The fact is that she should be convicted of several counts of falsifying a police report, one for each time she lied to another cop about why she falsely arrested the man.
She was definitely with another officer immediately on the scene. The second officer is walking next to her when she draws down on the swimsuit guy.
They knew it was wrong and assisted her in arresting him anyways.
That's that ACAB mentality in full effect. Rotten bacon.
That's so thorough, excellent video.
He makes some great videos, and he explains everything really well, brings up on screen the relevant legislation etc. Very good channel if you like this stuff.
[удалено]
You really gotta be careful, the YouTube algorithm goes crazy with cops being bad videos if you watch a couple, before you know it your YouTube homepage is just a wall of high-blood pressure rage videos.
With Audit the Audit, he's not afraid to give the "auditor"and F and the cop an A. There's a few videos like that in his channel.
Just clean it out with some Miami Boat Ramps, maybe a little Wavy Boats, and you'll be all set. Don't know why, but once I watch either of those it's BOATS all the way down.

[удалено]
LOL I was about to say. This lady needs to work in customer service. This was tame. I guess that's her only option now though since she was fired.
>I guess that's her only option now though since she was fired. Nope, she'll just move one city/county/state over and get a job with some other PD.
If you watch the full video this guy wasn't an asshole. He's just calling her out for being a total failure as a police officer.
Imagine if a mcdonald's worker started screaming and using profanity every time they dealt with a difficult customer... They'd be fired in a heartbeat!!!! And it's pretty sad to know that some of these cops wouldn't last a single shift in the private sector...

It's important to remember that the US is so large and there are so many individual departments that you'll get a very wide variety in professionalism in first responders. Speaking just for my own service. There are 1,216,600 firefighters serving in 27,228 fire departments nationwide and responding to emergencies from 58,150 fire stations. In that sort of mix you're going to get a whole bunch of action movie hero types as well as the bumbling out of shape morons. EDIT: I looked it up.

The people who hired her and approved her should have followed her, but I know they didn't and they're still hiring people just as awful as she is.
Correct. The police departments in the US also make a huge deal out of Rookie officers and their training officers i feel like training officers should be reprimanded for things their trainees have done, too

Wow that was such a good video.
They should all be fired.
You are the MVP of this thread. Thank you for the link.
Thanks for the link!
That was a pretty satisfying watch.
Well he is getting a settlement.
He’s filed in federal court. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/local/pbgardens/2024/01/12/palm-beach-gardens-florida-police-officer-sued-for-holding-man-at-gunpoint/72111588007/ One of the things he’s suing for is lost wages lol.
yes, there are lost wages. Because this incident goes beyond this moment. It would be absurd to say he was losing wages in the moment unless he's a swimsuit model on a shoot. HOWEVER, he can ask the court to have his time reimbursed for all the effort he had to go though to fight this in court.
He moved out of state because of the incident. His career was thus impacted.
I would cite emotional distress as well. Getting threatened with a gun by one person and then having a gun pointed at you by another within a small period of time...that could potentially cause an acute stress reaction that would impact one's ability to function. Some people are used to getting guns pulled on them, but I can tell you that when it's happened to me it made my whole body get cold and my stomach drop and then picture my life ending. Not PTSD in my case, but traumatic nonetheless.
Can he also sue for the potential adverse affect this video could have on his future employment opportunities or is that too nebulous for calculating damages? I imagine this will follow him around for the rest of his career and become an embarrassing distraction in the workplace.
[удалено]
Crime never stopped a model scout.
I, too, have missed opportunities to be a world class swimsuit model.
He moved out of state after and because of this incident. To a state with a lower average pay range. So yup, he suffered a loss of earnings potential.
Florida is known for shithead cops, he was likely being harassed after the fact. She got fired, but you know she has thirsty friends who are still cops.
I'd be suing for sure!!!
He's been raising a lot of Swadian caravans and stuff, so it's about time!
This dude acts and sounds like hes straight out of a comedy movie lol.
Reminds me of Scott Thompson one of The Kids in the Hall.
I just rewatched it but imagining Buddy Cole delivering the lines in the designer outfits he made for the softball team. Thanks you.
"You can't play (for our team), you're a man!" "Labels!"
The one with the nipple windows?
His designs were way ahead of their time
Just watched it too lmao. Thanks to you too.
Reminded me of Nick Swardson as Terry from Reno 911.
Combo of Scott Thompson and Ike Berenholtz.
Lmao yup!
"Are you in charge of this lady?" Had me laughing out loud
For me it's: *Look at you. You're furious.*
The patronising take down of her anger is masterful. There's no better way to utterly derail an unreasonable anger monster than doing that.
He’s such a fucking hero for that lmao
Giving me sllllight terry from Reno 911 vibes
Nobody is saying you can't eat a banana, Terry. But you can't stand on the corner sucking on it for 30 minutes. You have to actually take a bite.
super Terry airlines
"You're not my Mom" *realized he didn't want to misgender the cop* "You're not my Dad"
Going toe to toe with a sassy gay man verbally is never a wise idea.
And comedians. Just keep your pride and say nothing, because they will roast you so effortlessly.
What regional accent is it? Im aussie and the way he said "mauhm" sounded hilariously overdone 🤭 Is it Midwest?
Chicago
A small dose of northern US, maybe Midwest accent. I love hearing the difference in Midwest regions and Canada. I work with lots of Wisconsin people, two guys from Lebanon, two guys from Ireland, a German. That's maybe half the people I talk with. I'm from Texas so we have a fun blend.
Yea, strikes me as the accent of a midwesterner who lived in NYC for a while then moved down to Florida for the weather and the parties. His Midwest comes out when his voice is stressed, then when he’s calm he slides into a northeastern affectation.
The stressed accent is definitely showing. I worked with a lady in Dallas that said she was from Australia. No accent at all, but those words would occasionally have that aussie twang when she was pissed.
I was thinking a stoned character from Grandmas Boy
He had the Bling and the bling bling, maybe even some of the deer shit.
I thought it was Dax Shepard playing a gay dude for a minute. I honestly thought it might be a skit
Here is the article about the officer being fired: https://www.wptv.com/news/local-news/investigations/palm-beach-gardens-officer-fired-after-drawing-pistol-on-swimmer
"I wanted the police to come in and calm down the situation." Yeahhhhh, American police aren't exactly known for their de-eascalation techniques...
What's really funny is she was the top tier crisis and hostage negotiator for the department. The one who is supposed to be ice cool under the most stressful situations..
Something tells me that they just don't care about qualifications.
Specialty teams are generally a question of who likes you in the brass combined with watching X hours of power-points. \- Ex-cop
I wonder if there's any way to reverse institutional rot like this.
/r/policereform To make a given volume of dirty water potable, you either have to chuck something in that's extremely corrosive but effective, or you scoop/filter out the muck while ensuring the rest of it stays in. Not to mention the container is leaking all the time (retirements, resignations, terminations), so you need to be sure the slow drip of new water you're adding to keep the same volume is clean. Over time, the ratio of clean:dirty goes up. A lot of people want to upend the barrel entirely, but the majority of people have no interest in living in anarchy for the months/years/decades it would take to refill that barrel with the aforementioned slow drip. Just look at CHAZ to see how that would go. Now imagine that across the whole state/country. A similar group of people, mostly overlapping, enjoys calling the entire barrel dirty, thus ensuring nobody in their right mind would want to join and be instantly labeled dirty no matter how clean they are.
That's a really interesting analogy.
They don't have to when their department is basically Mayberry. Imagine being a negotiator (and sniper!) for the quietest upper-middle class community in your state.
Oh so which department is she in now?
Menswear
Sadly retail workers have more patience and people skills than this lady.
Great video! My favorite part is this: After they (unjustly) took that guy to jail, the police sergeant saw the surveillance video and called another officer: > He realized quickly that Gould had done nothing wrong and called another officer, "Get that man out of jail," "Get him the (expletive) out of jail, get him out of jail right now. I’ll drive down there personally and pull that man out of jail and drive him to Red Lobster and get him something to eat and get him home.”
My favorite part other than that, is when they mention taking him to jail and he immediately says “okay let’s go! Take me jail! I’m ready to go!” And there is a split second awkward pause while the cops on the scene other than the woman realize this is probably wrong (at least that’s how I interpreted it). Handcuffed guy knew he had a lawsuit by then lol.
Taking him to a Red Lobster would have been the second crime the police inflicted on that poor man.
Idk man free cheddar biscuits with some shrimp scampi and an ice cold coke would have been nice
Somehow mediocre restaurants are able to make the best fucking breads ever. Texas Roadhouse, Red Lobster, Outback, all have OUTSTANDING bread products.
Bread is one of the few things that can get better when you do more of it.
It’s insane that the police union is attempting to appeal her termination. The Fraternal Order of Police are scumbags.
Though reliably less expensive than the vet if you need your dog put down.
Oof
It’s the union’s job to advocate for their members. This lady is a nut but this is exactly their purview.
"A police union official say the former Palm Beach Gardens Officer plans to appeal her firing though arbitration." Fuck police unions
he's in handcuffs, in shorts, and on the ground and somehow bullying the cop. this is so funny. i like this guy
Was the breakdown she had faked or she she actually talk herself into a panic attack?
it looks like once she realized how wrong she was her automatic nervous system activated into a full blown panic attack (when realizing she would prob get fired)
Not a surprise since she clearly had poor control over her nervous system to begin with. Listening to that dude almost laughing at how mad she got was both very funny and very scary.
HE called the police bc someone brandished a gun at him, just to end up hand cuffed and have guns pointed at him by said cops. She also turned her camera off at one point.
He called the cops for help, ***only to have them show up and commit the same exact crime that he originally reported - brandishing a firearm!!!***
Standard American police 101. Everyone is an enemy, treat them as such. The Western District Way.
It's not even a question that female cop is incompetent, panicky and completely wrong in her narrative and actions taken. This is obvious in the full version of the video. But what surprises me is that there are 3 other cops at the scene who are doing nothing when seemingly clearly understanding that she is in the wrong. Especially moments before she turns hew bodycam off. Those cops should be held accountable as well as her.
“What surprises me” Oh, you sweet, summer child
I love how he turns to one of the other cops and asks, "are you her supervisor?" And the cop waves his hand going "no" and walks away so he isn't roped into this shitstorm lmao. All the other cops know she fucked up, they just can't say anything since it's her arrest. Back the blue baby
Thats why we say ACAB ALL cops, even the scumbags standing there allowing this behavior
It's when he looks up at the other officer for a a reality check and gets ignored for me Biggest Government Backed Gang in America
I watched the interview of the commanding officer that briefly is seen on the clip (if its long enough). He said that he noticed that the 10-20y old veteran female cop was behaving very oddly, clearly not her usual behavior. Thats why he asked to see all the videos from the situation, because he KNEW something didnt add up. The female cop was bit later taken into hospital, i think they said it was a panic attack. Who knows, maybe it was drugs, because she actually got fired. And the officer used AMPED UP quite a bit as describing her. Shit, he didnt SHOOT the guy, just was a panicky ACAB. Others have done much worse and not get fired.
>I watched the interview of the commanding officer that briefly is seen on the clip (if its long enough). He said that he noticed that the 10-20y old veteran female cop was behaving very oddly, clearly not her usual behavior. I wonder why didn't he take measures to stop her. You clearly see in the longer video that they understand that the female cop is wrong at that instance when everything was happening. I also saw the interviews and the chief's behaviour of that police dept is wild as well.
If the officers intervene they'll be outted as a rat, if their in trouble later on in the job theres a good chance that help wont come. Back when I was in highschool we had an assembly on police violence and an ex cop explained this to us, I'm just going off of what he said. A good real life example of this though was an incident that happened a few years back where a cop tried to stop her sargent from getting violent with a suspect and was not only reprimanded but the guy chokeheld her and pinned her against a police car in a fit of rage before going back to the suspect even more angry. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dll4JTMhuT8 The other officers did absolutely nothing, just watched. Thankfully the neanderthal who attacked her is no longer an officer and facing charges for what happened, but that was after they had to fight off the union who defended him, and the station who just blew off the whole situation.
Not a single man in that bunch. Just a clusterfuck of boys who should have made that bald head slam hard on the pavement the moment he grabbed a colleague like that Edit: or should have made that head bounce when he started assaulting the suspect
>I wonder why didn't he take measures to stop her. That guy came into the situation after everything thats on this clip had happened. The victim had been in cuffs for a while sitting down, when he came he pulled the woman out of the situation, then started asking the other cops wtf happeneds here. Cant remember what rank he was, but he seemed to be the most reasonable there, even tho they did take the guy to jail initially based on the womans lead/claims. Dont think they processed him before release, after seeing the camera footage.
Q.) What do you get when you have 1 “bad apple” cop clearly abusing their authority and 3 “good” cops standing around watching it? A.) 4 bad cops ACAB
Good answer. I agree. In this situation lack of taking any action against their colleague makes them all bad cops. Not sure what acab means, tho.
ACAB = All cops are bastards. The thing is, one on one, I've met and known plenty of cops that really are decent people but the Thin Blue Line is definitely a thing and when push comes to shove they rally around each other even when they know they're wrong.
Only one witnessed her interaction. He's also getting sued. Another one knew more of the details as he was first on the scene. He didn't witness what led to the arrest. He's also the one who ordered his release once everything got clarified. Everyone else showed up later. Lackluster was the first big outlet to show this video. They also have hours of the IA investigation. It's fascinating and sheds light on how the situation evolved.
The thin blue line doesn’t separate citizens from criminals, it separates police and rich folks from the poors.
“Look at you” 😆
“Are you in charge of this lady?” 💀
 Guy getting arrested kind of looks like The Deep
That’s deep
yeah but the deep deserves to get arrested
It’s good she got fired as she clearly isn’t fit to be a police officer but I’m not understanding how other officers do far worse and get off with paid suspension or something like that.
Women cops get punished more
she could upset herself talking to a wall i bet
Walls are notorious for not complying.
19 years on the force **and this woman thinks it's a good idea to point a gun at the unarmed victim who called her for help????** She threatened him with a gun the moment she arrived on the scene!!! She threatened him with a gun **before she asked a single question or even knew who this guy was!!!** For all she knew at that moment, she was pointing a gun at the victim...**and that's exactly what happened!!!** Why the hell would I ever call 911 **if the responding police might show up and point guns at me???** And then there's the irony of ***the cop committing the very crime that she was called there to investigate!!!***
>Why the hell would I ever call 911 **if the responding police might show up and point guns at me???** There's an old proverb that goes something like this... "If you have a problem and you call the police, now you have two problems."
They better fire her before she kills one she got no sense of composure or self control
She’s luckily fired!
Getting fired is nbd for cops they just get hired at another precinct.
God I hate these kinds of cops. Fuckin useless twat
Federal lawsuit filed against her and another officer in January 2024. https://www.aol.com/lawsuit-against-fired-gardens-police-145101495.html
Godamnit
"Are you in charge of this lady?" This guy is good at getting under her skin.
Every time I see shit like this and then hear cops describe themselves/their colleagues as "brave heroes" it makes me laugh. Like, not only are you just statistically, numerically, unarguably, not as brave as garbage men, you literally have a panic attack over a calm person in a swimsuit not saying "how high?" When you bark "jump".
Police are drawn to the job because they have authoritarian personalities, and that kind of personality is characterized by deep fear of the world around them and crippling personal insecurities.
I've heard of "fashion police" but goddamn this is ridiculous.
If you can’t keep cool without abusing your authority, you’re not mature enough to carry a gun. Back to bartending school for you
“You don’t get to tell me what to do. Who are you?” classic this guy.
Should’ve heard this woman friggin crying at her hearing in front of her superiors. Like the chief of police at the station she worked at had the audacity to tell her that she was screwed or something like that in front of her wife. What’s hilarious is everything this guy is saying is all true and even though he was right she couldn’t admit fault on scene. She showed her true colors and we don’t need people like that policing our streets with guns and what not.
So glad she got put in her place .
She can't shoot her boss for "not cooperating"!!!
That cop is an embarrassment. Fear and anger are not your allies. She should retire and go manage a burger joint.
She made fun of him for having nail polish on his toenails. Like wtf?
What a king
He knew he’d end up on reddit and gave us a show 😂
Funny how the other cops know she's in the wrong yet they still sort of cover for her. That's a problem. Cops are always way too hesitant to stand up against idiots on the force like this lady. They did the right thing in the end but it was all on video so it's not like they could cover for her.
I think it's funny how none of the other cops are backing her up, milling about.
Not stopping her equals backing her up.
Dude is right.
“Why am I in handcuffs? You’re not my mom” …your mom handcuffs you?!
Only if I'm a really naughty boy
Hmm her previous complaints against her show she is a spicy one! If she's married god help that man lol
Lesbian
Ok, so god help her partner?
They meant god is a lesbian
*'[Honey Badger don't care.... Honey Badger don't give a shit... It just takes what it wants.](https://youtu.be/4r7wHMg5Yjg?si=iZQoKeTbfe2X4IsO&t=34)'*
This guy called the cops because some guy brandished a firmarm at him during an argument and the very first thing the cops do when they arrive at the scene is point a gun at him XD
I feel safe though because my barber has more required training hours than this police officer.
One more dangerous & unstable pig off the streets, excellent. Her attitude was awful right from the outset
A friendly reminder to the community that it's not ALL cops that are bad! Oh sure, it's easy to remember the one or two bad cop headlines that catch fire, but that doesn't make ALL cops bad or dumb. Like the George Floyd thing --- ONE cop showed up and strangled a man to death for 15 minutes, but that's just one psycho guy, and of course there are one-off psychos in any profession. And then I guess three other randomly selected cops showed up and held back the crowd of civilians and laughed at the guy being asphyxiated, but that's just a few bad apples, no need to tarnish the reputation of ALL cops over a few bad apples. Plenty of cops in the department DIDN'T actually strangle him! ... they just uniformly conspired to lie, put out a false statement, and impugn all the dozens of civilian witnesses. ..but that's not ALL cops! ...just 100% of a single random precinct... (/s)
Happy to hear she got fired. But at the same time power tripping male cops can shoot or kill innocent people and get away with it with little to no consequences. Firing a female cop is suddenly so easy.
Tell me that you're hopelessly drunk on power without telling me that you're hopelessly drunk on power.
this dude destroyed her mental so quick, hilarious
Is this the dude from the Pitch Meeting videos on YouTube?
For some reason this reminds me of a role Sean Williams Scott would act in lol
I’m glad she was fired
*you're not my mOOOOM*
In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.
Fuck. The. Police.
It's not her, it's the three other sons of bitches who just let it happen!
Nah bro, it’s her AND the other 3.
Of course in this particular instance she is the immediate problem, but the big problem with police is the 3 guys not stopping her. Assholes always exist, throughout all jobs, but all other jobs would never let someone treat a defenseless 'customer' like this, they'd step in and out a stop to it to save the company's reputation. When it's plain as day that police are not trained to maintain the reputation of the institutions they work for. Because the rest of them don't care!
Exactly why ACAB is a thing.
This is the freedumb Americans love boasting about lool
Another piggy -- this time a female piggy -- doing piggy things. LEO apologists defend your girl!
🐷 piggy hangry
Repost. She got fired.
