About 7 months ago, I posted a video about a West Virginia police officer, Everette Maynard, formerly of the Logan, WV Police Department who was found guilty by a federal jury of violating an arrestee’s civil rights by using excessive force. This was caught on video. This is the one where the officer was caught by a surveillance camera flipping the bird to the camera.

First video I did on this: https://youtu.be/ZJz9d_rOfOI
If a citizen did this to a cop would the consequences have been the same? Nope.
What is it with West Virginia police? They all stoopeed violent thugs?
Just imagine before body cams how much BS the cops got away with.
When top cops like garland and wray set the tone ,lower level cops think they can do the same.
Excellent point @ 1:00. Especially for the layman.
If you are unsure of what a statute or crime is. The jury instructions will explain the elements of the crime perfectly: "If you believe he did this, and this, and he meant to do it, you MUST find him guilty."
You can literally just search for "(crime name) jury instructions" and learn all about it.
Especially in my state (Michigan) because a bunch of judges got together and wrote "model jury instructions" for courts to use, in my state.
Example jury instructions for pretty much every crime, which several experienced judges agreed were good.
I have seen plenty of videos of officers doing the same thing. So they arrest one and prosecuted one and the jury convicted one in the past 3 years. Well that's really not going to solve the problem now is it?!
Film The Police, always!
But how long will he actually serve?
You are so right on the money, lol. But hell yeah, when will the law see as equal, no matter the occupation.
Cop showing his IQ.
Flipping off the camera, huh? I bet he lost some of that sass when he got behind bars.
Just 9 years! What a crock!
Hey piggy, when are visiting hours?
Attorney Bryan is getting a lot of calls. That means there're so many cops who don't care about the Constitution and your rights
WV again! Well this pig is going to have flashbacks about his father slapping him around as a kid everyday for the next 9 yrs
Good that he will be in jail!
Jail justice is coming 😊
I’m so grateful that justice is served
What if the whistleblower had never come forward?
Thank GOD .
Retired. Although I am a crime free person.. and not beligerent, I fear these guys hurting me for no reason !!!
but.. but..what about his job ?
A similar physical punishment should be included besides the time in jail.
Keep up the great work! I've just watched 3 videos of the police violating someone's rights from W VA. What's up with the cops there? Are they just that ignorant of people's rights?
😂😂😂😂 He will be so popular in prison. 😂😂😂
Goody goody, officer Maynard gets to meet the mule!!!
He should have gotten 27 years behind bars! Triple sentence for law enforcement!!!
This case should be viewed as part of the Police Academy syllabus.
Sorry, but nine years isn't nearly enough for what he did 🤬
Trump needs to hire him to take over the civil rights division at d o j
I wasn't in the courtroom but I'm guessing that Maynard did not give the judge 'the finger' at sentencing like he gave it to the video camera
in this video. BYE BYE 9 years of your life. BYE BYE pension. HELLO massive civil judgement.
In qualified immunity!
Yes great job prison sentence
Is there a freeze on this video's like button? I can't like it.
Even better, he'll be in solitary confinement, because he was a cop.
ACAB
The cop should have got 20 years WOP and life on probation.
Ahoukd be minimum 25 years as the police are willfully and deliberately criminal
🤣🤣🤣
I’ll bet the jury was aghast at what they saw. Most people don’t think there are cops like this because fellow cops won’t speak out.
It's extremely rare when a bad cop gets sentenced to prison.
Piece oh s*** corrupt cops
Many thanks for justice.Nobody is above the law
Man these kind of cops need to go to prison not just fired but jail time also
Finally some Justice.
He will appeal to the supreme court and Uncle Clarence will let him go.
