The misconduct committed by one officer was deemed “outrageous” by his department, forced a prosecutor’s office to stop pursuing a case and cost the officer his badge. Just not for very long.
Second chances? He had three disciplinary problems in three years prior to this. “Second chances” is why a woman is dead in Springfield when a psychopath deputy was given a job after being discharged from the Army for serious misconduct, two DUI convictions and six law enforcement jobs in four years. This has to stop but won’t as long a there is no national database, no consequences other than slaps on the wrists or firings (e.g. criminal charges, decertification), and departments hire known bad officers and don’t care.
There is a national database ordered by Pres Biden after he tried to remove Qualified Immunity three years ago but the republicans' majority in congress voted it down. (google) Police unions are pushing back HARD against it.
True. But We the People are going to be who puts a stop to this. We have to stop entrusting people we put in power to do the right thing when we have decades of proof that the system keeps repeating the same problems.
TAXPAYERS BESEECH A NATIONAL SAFETY NET FROM PREDATORS OF THE STATE ... Taxpayers implore a transparent "NATIONAL REGISTRY" with "ADDRESSES" of fired, quit, and transferred (BAD-APPLE) police officers! National registration is mandated for "THE SEX OFFENDER" so shouldn't the list extend to BAD-APPLE police officers!

These small town departments hire bad cops because they've already been through a police academy. That way the department doesn't have to pay for their training. If they later do something that costs the town a ton of money (which most of them do), well it doesn't come out of the police budget, so in the chief's mind he's "saved money."

Well, not that I support the conduct but there's difference between criminal charges and being fired. If there was willingness to participate in the messages from two consenting adults imo it's not criminal regardless of employment.
@@JohnDoe-bo3ziExcept it wasn’t, he has power over her. He wouldn’t have her information or leverage against her if he never stopped her as a police officer, weird that you think it’s consensual between them.
@@Tortilla.Reform sexting usually isn't forced? I imagine it got to a point where she wanted to terminate contact which is fine at that point it's still not rape that's harassment different crime, very different.
Because they just as broken as he is wake up y we need so meany cops they are servents not soldiers...stop trying fix them cops making crimes not solving any wake up
By sicking Quackanon on other people (democrats) as a smoke screen to cover and allow them to commit those crimes. Its the old repuke playbook...EVERY ACCUSATION THEY MAKE IS ACTUALLY A CONFESSION.
Well if the WaPo is reporting this, ya might want to check for them having any integrity to report such a thing. I am sure you got this right, but c'mon, WaPo is just as terrible as these gang law enforcement officers.
Absolutely!! As laid back and nonchalant as they were, it's abundantly clear that they have absolutely ZERO issues with any of his previous bad behavior! I'm super curious about the history of all the other officers in this department if they clearly have no problem with this guys history! How horrific is that department?!?!
Sending a woman he doesn't even know a picture of his genitals which were unasked for, is much more than trying to get a date It's a perverted crime and disgusting and belittled the victim 😢
@@JohnDoe-bo3ziManufactured culture wars have control over your brain 😂 what news source do you trust if you’re going to be dismissive of any reporting that doesn’t fit your own personal narrative, without any proof that it’s false 😂
So he hired him because he didn't get a charge ? Even tho cops usually don't get any changes put on them. This system is so f-ed up. That's the only job in America where u can commit crimes and still keep your job. Unbelievable.
That always pisses me off, we’re paying their wages and the public deserves complete transparency-none of this “ no comment” or heavily redacted documents
They’re saying that the reactivation shouldn’t have happened, but if his license was supposed to be deactivated and wasn’t, the the easy way to correct the “mistake” would be to deactivate it now…
how much you want to be Ashley didn't "forget" to give back the lady's license. He did it on purpose for an excuse to go to her house. No one want to see a cop's p.....s.
Did the investigative reporting include the CAD report and the other officer's BWC to corroborate Ofc. Ashley's assertion he turned off his BWC because he thought the stop was over? What is equally disturbing is his statement about "evil in this world". This means to this day he believes he did nothing wrong; that using the power imbalance of his position was no big deal and he was just the victim of some evil in the world. Does anyone know what it takes for a prosecutor to drop a case? We have hundreds of court cam footage where a prosecutor fails to drop charges out of fear of retaliation by the law enforcement officers they depend on every day. Last, but not least, the redacted report makes the case to always record interactions with police and consider checking out an app like Attorney Shield. This encounter might have ended differently had Ofc. Ashley been forced to deal with an attorney at original incident location.
The village manager says he believes everyone deserves a second chance, was the lady with the traffic violation going to get a second chance when going into court for her ticket? Short answer NO. She doesn't get a second chance on something as small as a traffic violation so why in the hell would you think something as egregious as what the officer did deserve a second chance? People like him are the reason why cops get to go from department to department with no repercussions for their actions.
This dude got a lot of felony charges on other people shady cop and a pervert come to find out everybody he came in contact with should get charges dropped and exspongments
Well hell they get away with murder just as easy, this here they don't even bat an eye to, anyone with a free pass to get away with murder has a free pass to do about anything there is out there that's against the law, they're above the law if they wear badges or have you noticed ?
"When you're a policeman you get waay more than just a second chance because we aren't held to any standards at all, well maybe one standard, DON'T GET CAUGHT on camera!"
We need a law where once a cop is fired, resigns in lieu of being fired, or resigns while under investigation, he can never work in law enforcement in any capacity anywhere ever again. It should be a 10 year prison sentence for one to even apply for another law enforcement job. It should also be 10 years for any police chief who hires or recruits a banned cop.
While the officer's behaviour may have been unethical, the suspect's behaviour was irresponsible with the potential to put the public in harm's way, physically and potentially fatally. Therefore, I think some perspective is important. The implications that this officer should never work again in law enforcement is so reductive and simplistic to the point that it's ludicrous.
They always talk about people deserve a second chance but these are officers of the law that are supposed to be held to a much higher standard. Standards that they are well aware of when they take that job.
To be fair, if the Dundee in the US is anything like the city it’s named after here in Scotland, just being sent there is more than punishment enough It’s the only place I’ve ever seen a pregnant woman chase a Doberman Pincher with a hammer
Two sides to a story. This pathetic on both ends. She knew and she manipulated to get to an end point…he knew and he manipulated. Shame on both ends. Disgusting world we live in now
