It was a crisp fall day in Williams, a small city near Flagstaff, when police arrested a man named Brian Lopez for allegedly stealing a can of beer from a local gas station. “I heard a noise that I’ve never heard before. The sound I heard was his cranium, his skull hitting the sidewalk,” said former Williams police officer Nicole White as she described what happened to the man. White made the arrest in the middle of the afternoon on Oct. 20, 2022, not far from Historic Route 66 in downtown Williams, according to police records.

Police are the biggest criminal gang in the country and you did it to yourselves by continuing to vote in Republican lawmakers at the local level who determine local police chiefs who then remove good cops and promote corrupt cops. If you have not noticed already, there are no good cops left in the US. They all at one stage or another witnessed police brutality, abuse, evidence planting, false police reports, and purgery and have looked away making them just as complicit.

This so often happens when a chief of police is ( allegedly ) running an illegal private security business. These illegal businesses use our tax payer equipment, desks, lights, telephones, cop man power and in many cases double bill the city and bill the paying customer that needs the private security services. The cop then pays the button nose chief of police a bit something something.. This is called RACKETEERING. 3 OF the criteria for RACKETEERING is hierarchy, intimidation, and fraud. There is no time off for bad cops. To the public it looks like they are on paid vacation, but mostly the cops work this illegal private security business. The only one fooled here is YOU!!!!!! The Chief of police needs a bad cop to work an illegal private security business. It's a kind of brotherhood. " Hay bro we have something on each other", a mutual agreement. Also, most cops drink vodka to sleep at night. An alcoholic cop may have pulled you over and you would never know. Or could you? The big giveaway is the menacing, belligerent, confrontational, aggressive dangerous grainy VODKA VOICE. When you get pulled over , make as little contact with an alcoholic cop. Like any alcoholic, they are dangerous with a license to carry a gun and kill. They will testilie against you and get away with it. You are dealing with a gang with a badge.. Sometimes , with corrupt judges there are many conflicts of interest, but you will never know. Sink your teeth into this and pass it on....And please, learn some law because obviously, the cops follow protocol and not the Constitution.. Get Constitutional Law for dummies or any book. Cops don't have continuing education. Because of the rampant alcoholism, they should be breathalyzed after every incident and before they can start our tax payer police cars.. Many of these guys are void of empathy and murder people without a second thought. We the People need to enforce the Constitutional Law.

Getting rid of qualified immunity would have no effect on this. It doesn't cover excessive use of force anyway. It only covers ACCIDENTAL or INCIDENTAL injury or death. When it's determined that excessive force was used QI is out the window, and criminal charges are filed. QI is still NECESSARY to protect HONEST officers simply doing their jobs, and getting rid of it will only mean that they will STOP doing their job.

This is why there's so many bad cops. The good decent ones get punished and the bad one's don't. Its a job that attracts bullies. They know that, for the most part, even if they get caught doing something wrong worst case scenario they might get a few days paid leave and the can claim qualified immunity. Even if they get fired they just go to the next town or county and carry on like nothing happened. Fortunately, more and more these interactions are caught on camera.

Actually the report shown is a self-reported use of force incident by Romero. Romero says he “lost his grip” and that’s why he got away with his crime. Self-reported so he can add in whatever information to keep him from getting in trouble like a child
