Via Uncle we have a perfect example of why I run the this thing.
Yes that is the same Daniel Harless, Officer Roid Rage, that can be seen in the count at #7. This man had a history of behaving like this and it was documented on video in at least three separate incidents. Even with that behavior though he is attempting to be reinstated as a police officer.
Here’s what this whole roid-rage incident teaches the public. This behavior is acceptable as long as it does not end up being distributed to the public. Don’t believe me? If OCC had not obtained a copy of the video and released it do you think anything would have happened to officer roid-rage? He had two previously documented incidents and nothing happened. There was a city councilman that attempted to come to his defense trying to justify his behavior.
His argument to the arbitrator is going to center around the fact that his dismissal was due to public pressure, not because he did anything wrong. Think about that for a second. The fact we found this piece of black toxic mold and shined a heavy UV light on him is a reason for him to remain. For you see if it hadn’t been for that UV light he would have never been dismissed. Never mind the following fact:
If you or I had done anything like that we would have gone to jail and spent a bunch of time in front of a judge. If we escaped without jail time it would have been miraculous given the fact that we threatened and intimidated and individual, while armed. The only difference between him and us is the fact that he is sponsored by the state.
Still think the majority of police departments want to weed out the bad eggs? For the most part they’re forced into retaining them, because unless you do something really egregious, you’re just a state hired thug.
TMM is the owner, editor, and principal author at The Minuteman, a competitive shooter, and staff member for Boomershoot. Even in his free time he’s merging his love and knowledge of computers and technology with his love of firearms.
Many know his private name and information however due to the current political climate, many are distancing themselves due to the abandonment of Due Process.
I don’t see how you can get fired for doing something like that, and have it not warrant charges. Was there enough evidence to fire but not prosecute?
I think the argument of the prosecutor was that there was no “criminal intent” behind the officers actions.
I find it hard to believe that out of all the incidents they caught on film, he did nothing criminal. I can’t say to someone, “I could shoot you right now and I’d go home and sleep like a baby” and not end up in jail for it. That is a threat and intimidation. Well since he is an “officer of the law” they could argue he was informing the man of the dangers of what he was doing.
Never mind the fact he kept trying to inform Harless and officer roid rage kept cutting him off.
