Jury finds Cop Guilty of Civil Rights Violation after he flips the bird to the camera

1. So you put cuffs on someone and they beat the hell out of you how is this aloud in this country of ours ohhh yeah it's currupt from the top down

2. This is why I'm afraid of the police. I'm bed bound & only go out for doctor appointments so I should be safe. But I don't feel safe. Every time I need an ambulance the cops show up too along with the ambulance & fire department. Why? They make me anxious, have no function during a medical emergency & just crowd into our home & stand around getting in the way. We feel like they're looking for a reason to arrest my husband or me (for being "ill"?). We're middle-class, not criminals, don't break laws so why?

3. How do you say "I went too far." And then when you get charged say you tripped !!!!

4. I bet tons of these guys go on to join domestic terrorist groups.

5. 6:21;
   Did he clean up the crime scene?

6. Maybe if the money did start coming out of the police officers fundage, they would act with more tact!

7. His large ass moved a human violently thru a narrow doorway in a continuous motion that was indicative of forward physical force in motion with regard to inertia and its impact with the totally INNOCENT DOORFRAME,THE INNOCENT METAL DOORWAY. Use of force was not reasonable the assault unwarranted as the officer had clear physical control over the victim as he seemingly waltzed across the room manhandling him the entire time,no resistance ,he knew he was in a police station in an area with multiple security measures: HE WAS NOT RESISTING ACTIVELY NOR TRYING TO FLEE.

8. Just another one them good cops the boot lickers like to tell us about.

9. and why would the damn sadist force him in front of him like that? clearly he used too much force.

10. Vegas Odds have that it was not the Cop's First Rodeo!

11. Thank you for helping people.

12. More like you’re civil rights lawyer Adam Driver, you handsome sonofagun!

13. I'm just happy that liberal Democrats see what we all been complaining, put the words out there mouth,is cops are good people they say 😊

14. Bet you LOVE watching your own videos over and over again with the amount of face time you give yourself. What we have here is 13 minutes of your talking head, with 30 seconds of photos of interest to us, the viewers.

15. I was wondering do you still represent people. I had a bank steal my house I took them to court the judge would not allow me to present evidence of fraud forgery manufacturer documents and that they own my home and no capacity also had a professional witness. I wasn't allowed to show any evidence so I asked the judge to have the improve the old my house he said they don't have to someone does and he gave it to them then gave us three days to move out. I feel my constitutional rights have been violated not allowed to defend my property not allowed to present evidence not allowed to color of law and not allowed a judgment in my favor when they failed to respond to my legal action.

16. “Fīat jūstitia ruat cælum”
    
    "Let justice be done though the heavens fall."

17. "So basically the jurors do not need an expert witness to tell them what they see on the video when they're perfectly capable of seeing the video themselves and analyzing what happened."

    Buh-buh-butt, the video doesn't show everything! 🙄

18. Professor Lockhart should not be allowed to testify as an expert ever again and he should be investigated as to what financial benefit he rec'd for his testimony.

19. So the so called expert want me not to believe my eyes but the EQUUS CABALLUS EXCREMENT (Horse Sh_t) coming out his mouth

20. End qualified immunity, make them carry their own insurance or have the police union cover the cost.

21. The only criminals I have had real problems with were wearing badges.

22. Is it ironic that the man’s blood pool looked crazily like the shape of the state of West Virginia

23. We need a major overhaul of the expert witness system. Far too many of them are just guns for hire who will say whatever is needed to help their client.

    I understand that in England, the experts work for the court, not for the prosecutor or the defense. That seems to me to be an imperfect, but far better solution than what we are doing now.

24. I think the officer tripped on his own gunt.

25. DO YOU HELP PEOPLE IN WASHIBGTON STATE? I AM SLEEPING IN MY CAR, AND HAVE PROOF OF INCREDIBLE CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, BY POLICE, SHERIFFS, STATE PATROL, CITY GOVT., BUSINESSES, VIGILANTE CITIZENS..

26. Wife beaters gotta stay sharp.

27. The officer is definitely guilty as charged. RW is being manhandled from the very start and doesn't appear to be resisting – only awkward movements directly attributable to said manhandling. It doesn't matter if the officer had dealt with RW twenty dozen times (which is the impression I got – too many contacts with the same person over the same issue), causing the officer to decide "enough is enough". What matters is RW was in the station under the control of the officer. As such, the officer is now required to be courteous even though determined to get to the truth of everything.
    One commenter said, "Not his first rodeo." I'd agree with that. This officer has definitely done something similar in the past ("I went too far" – is a rather telling statement).
    It's also irrelevant if the officer has a "Sterling Record" otherwise. His anger trigger was tripped, and he took that anger out on RW – something that EVERY officer KNOWS isn't allowed.

28. Government is force, that’s its defining characteristic. It will therefore tend to attract a certain kind of person. And, because it’s a monopoly, it will be resistant to change.

29. How much time did the former officer receive as his sentence?

30. He got nine years… https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-west-virginia-police-officer-sentenced-using-excessive-force

31. Does the actual video of the incident exist for public viewing? I can not seem to find it with the search terms I am using.

32. The police academy should be held accountable for their bad training their bad cops!

33. The FBI should look at all his other use-of-force arrests. I'm sure this isn't his first 'slip and fall'.

34. How do the insurance premiums rise and fall? I suspect that it's for the department and not the individual officer.

35. And the cop cleaning the blood so it's tempering evidence, or is it?

36. The arrogance of that cop giving the finger to the security camera. Does anybody know how much jail time this idiot cop received?

37. 6:23 forward fall accident …. and the victim head butted the door frame.

38. This video has aged extremely well 👍

39. What the heck is this cops priblem besides over ego.

40. Even in the still shots, it looks like Maynard accelerated the victim into the door frame.

41. If he can get 9 years. Imagine what would happen to some of these other awful cops.

42. This is an expert saying this how dumb is he just like the cops stupid as hell to stupid to have a gun

43. Officer Sentenced to 9 Years. Ha Ha.

44. My father grew up in Logan. I spent alot of time there too. The whole county is corrupt as fuck. Top to bottom.

45. Why is there only pictures when they are obviously from a cctv? Because he would have gotten 20 years busting rocks.

46. Where's the video?

47. He freely says "I went too far" to another officer. Which is evidence that all cops are bad, just that most of them don't "go too far". Just "normal abuse". If this behavior was culturally unacceptable at the department, he would never have phrased it like that.

48. Having knocked a suspect out cold, their first priority was to move and handcuff the inert, unconscious person before summoning medical assistance?
