Officer Loses It and Costs the City Thousands

1. Thanks for joining us. I hope you enjoyed the video!

2. When someone applies to be a police officer it needs to be determined are they in it to help people or bully people. At this point the bad ones can be weeded out. This cop is clearly a bully.

3. Shocked to read this! However, we should remember not all officers behave this way. Praying for better training & standards.

4. That cop is full of cocky! He realized he made a mistake and says “I’m going to let you go”. Lol so transparent!

5. This cop is an example of why people say "Fuck the Police".

6. What happened here is simple

   Tl:dr: The cop decided to exercise his training on a citizen

   THATS why they defended him, because they only care about “officer safety”

   Give up your freedom for security, youll get neither because you deserve neither

   The long of it….

   Cops are trained with scenarios exactly like this where the trainer will randomly say shit exactly like this guy did

   “No I belong here – I can prove it. Lemme show you something” they turn to the back of the truck and pull out a dummy shotgun and shoot the trainee

   They do this repeatedly till the cop has ptsd – they’ll start seeing malice in ordinary behavior because he was trained to expect malice after ordinary behavior. Cops are trained to prevent bad behavior, to do so they’re trained to expect bad behavior from ordinary people.

   That said, the training doesn’t teach them how to deescalate – it only teaches a “ladder” approach where they’re expected to be one rung up the ladder higher than everyone they encounter

   It means the cop will “close the gap” before there’s a fight so they’re ready for it, it means they’ll put hands on someone first, it means they’ll draw before someone gets a chance to even “reach for it”

   If they see a weapon, a cop pulls theirs out before the other person can reach for theirs. Awful training

   It escalates. The correct step is to put hand on weapon, not draw.

   The correct step is to walk back and put hands up saying “let’s not fight,” not put hands on someone first (hands up is a way to ready your hands for a fight)

   The correct step is to fix posture and lean on correct side to ready for a fight, not “close the gap”

7. You know the chief knows his officer did everything wrong. The fact that he refuses to show anyone the footage and tells them go FOIA it proves it. If they were in the right they would be so happy to show the proof.

8. I have searched high and low. Why is there no photo of this lousy cop to be found?

9. this feels like a really low payout for the hands on of the first incident and the retaliatory nature of issuing citations after. $57k

10. They retaliated because he was going to hold the cop accountable.
    Defund the police! Trust no government!

11. Most district attorneys are stupid, ours is some dumb inbred that couldn't make it as a real attorney

12. California law does require the police to verbalize the reason for the stop at the beginning of the stop. Every state should adopt this law.

13. This whole police office is totally unhinged, which shows the arrogance of the first officer. .

14. the original officer was in the army. I'm thinking he had ptsd — whereby normal gestures are misinterpreted because of heightened anxiety.

15. The man shouldn’t have settled (I don’t mean the legal term) for only about $58,000. The man who was assaulted should have got millions.

16. Retailiation

17. What a jerk

18. Wow cop is off his rocker

19. But he has told him nothing he has only escalated this stop

20. Somewhere I read this whole situation actually destroyed this man's personal life/marriage

21. The whole police department should be sued

22. Aaaaand thats why people hate cops.

28. Earning the hate daily

29. 1A frauditor had NO business there filming a person's worst moment in life!!
    I hate 1A frauditors!!

30. Infuriating! The chief needs to be investigated!

31. Dumb cop…he did not tell Mr. Finley to remove his hands from his pockets, did not say anything about him moving towards the open door vehicle….this cop focused on all the wrong things, and made up some…good that he was fired before he did any further damage.

32. Guys probably chief son-in-law that’s the reason he did what he did

33. Was this officer's first career as a Marine Corps drill sergeant? Heck, even Army drill sergeant did go off on me like this.

34. The absolute entitlement of that stupid cop. He says he's talking to him man to man but speaks to him in a condescending and berating manner!

35. Cheif needs to go!! Its clear he is where the problem comes from. What a slimy pos.
