A West Virginia Deputy has been indicted by the feds. It just hit the news a few days ago. I figured there must be body cam footage of the incident, so I sent a FOIA request to the employer. I was holding off on discussing the case until I saw the footage. I’ve now received a response, and you’re not going to like it. Here’s what we know right now. Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Lance Kuretza has been indicted in federal court for a felony civil rights violation after allegedly punching and pepper spraying a handcuffed suspect, as well as for attempting to cover-it-up by filing a false police report.

A waste of time? I’ll have you know that because of your videos my fiancé, a new public defender and attorney, have learned a nuance that could be used in her job in at least 2 different occasions.
So, what happened? In too many of your videos, no resolution occurs. In effect, you prefer to waste our time by presenting interesting cases while ultimately disappointing subscribers by ignoring outcomes.
This cop is taking steroids. Look at him roid rage. Exmilitary

Has case been tried ? what is current status ?
The "state" refusing to prosecute is what I find particularly disturbing.
My GOD! What is wrong with these cops!?
Good put him in prison where he belongs by Felicia 🤬
West Virginia police lie about body camera footage in most every case. I know of 3 personally where they said no body cameras in the report but photos taken by bystanders or the defendants clearly show the officers have them on. So they’re either lying of course or not turning them on so they don’t record themselves breaking the law and violating people’s rights. I still STRONGLY AGREE that if officers turn off or don’t turn on their body cameras then they’re at fault. That’s why the body cameras are there to protect everyone. Therefore not using them is clearly to avoid being caught in their own criminal behavior and or activity. Period!!!
found not guilty
They don't get around it, they just lie, take you to jail, and you you get released and nothing happens to them, they don't care.
Told yall he's a beast💪🏿
Not Guilty. why? Seemed cut-and-dried.
No I can tell you why the state prosecutor didn’t indiet he/she is also a goon squad member. State sponsored gang members aka law enforcement.
I am anxiously waiting on your follow-up! THANK-YOU!!!
Thank you for your work.
Psychological warfare: The FBI and police used a myriad of "dirty tricks" to undermine movements. They planted false media stories and published bogus leaflets and other publications in the name of targeted groups. They forged correspondence, sent anonymous letters, and made anonymous telephone calls.

Six responders, sounds like six bodycams you should be asking for footage from.
Because the system is corrupt .
How the fuck did this clown get off
Their's only one reason why
the police department won't release the body cameras
….pretty much common sense…..They know their going to get sued….nobody will be held accountable..except the police officers involved in the incident…..4 to 5yrs later
Absolutely stunning
And it appears he was acquitted, found not guilty. ?????
Looks to me like a ROID rage kinda guy.
I just looked to see if there was any further information on this case, and it looks like he was acquitted by a jury. I guess it was lucky for him that somehow his body cam shut off while he was beating a handcufffed person
Go get them!
Sheriff and his dept should be charged and office closed until the case is finilized in court. Jail time for all involved in coverup!
State is implicit correption coverup!
Never wasted time! Education is priceless.
Damn! That picture, that was flashed, of the cop, is steroids on the hoof.
So is there an update?
Kuretza was found not guilty
Roid rage? Blow?
Please show me your lamps. They fascinate me.
Please please tell me about your lamps and show them. They fascinate me .
I read that the jury found the officer not guilty in federal court.
No bigger, or more frequent liar than a cop.
These corrupt individuals must be exposed
Must’ve been from roid rage.
That cop is on steroids
Why has he not been pissed tested for steroids.. he obviously uses illegal drugs to pump up?
We as citizens have a RIGHT to see the video! Thanks for having our back.
Of course, all the good cops just stood around and watched this guy get his ass beat by this meathead cop even when he was handcuffed the cops just sit and watched so someone please explain to me, especially you, Mr. Lawyer how there is the thing called good cops were they at?
this could be solved quickly if it would be held as assumed that the "missing" or "unavailable" bodycam footage in fact shows the misconduct the police deny exists and is accepted as part of the lawsuit.
It has already been 6 years and we haven't seen this body cam footage but the fed has. Where's the accountability and transparency? I want to see this body cam footage just like any cop wants to see a person's ID for no reason. So much injustice right here in our own back yards.
That officer looks like a steroid raging monster. In other words, an accident waiting to happen. LEO's need to start being tested for steroids whenever there's a complaint or misconduct.
John I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm positing that there is an awful lot of steroid abuse in police forces, I've had a couple of interactions with some poor over here that I strongly suspect they were using steroids. It can and does make you likely to look for conflict.
Civil rights lawyer for president 🥴👋
THe deputy was found no guilty
