Good Cop, Bad Cop

Hidden camera of a guy going to various police stations and asking for a form to file a complaint against a police officer. Some of them aren't so bad; the officers are polite, but their departments don't use complaint forms.

Others, however, are shocking.

Amazing.
The first cop who threatened him with his gun and the 2 who were harrassing him in his car should be immediately suspended and possibly fired(first guy in particular). I know in either situation I would be absolutely fuming over that kind of treatment.

Not really surprising.

Wow... I guess they stumbled into a few of those rotten apples. At least they weren't treated that badly everywhere, but three place were quite bad.

(CBS4 News) FT. LAUDERDALE After CBS4's Mike Kirsch aired a piece where several South Florida police officers were caught on camera intimidating would-be complainants against their police departments, one officer has taken action against the station in court.

Sergeant Peter Schumanich, of the Lauderhill Police Department, filed an injunction in a Broward County court to stop the airing of the story where he appears on the air and online.

Schumanich was caught on camera cursing and screaming at a member of a police watchdog group who went to his department asking to file a complaint against an unspecified officer. The officer was caught on camera literally chasing down the man out of the police station and off the block, after he did not act the way Schumanich wanted him to.

Judge Goldstein denied the temporary injunction.

that one officer has got to learn to control his anger, maybe turn down pantera a bit.

Gotta love the press sometimes. A bunch of self-indulgent, self-righteous, holier-than-thou elitists, but they do run interference between Joe Lunchbox and the powers-that-be.

Judge Goldstein denied the temporary injunction.

Good. Like I said, he should at least be suspended for that behavior.

Yes, occasionally they do get it right. But, keep in mind that this story fell in their lap and all they had to do was air it. The watchdog group provided the video footage.
