@lol bad kid and he's the "Golden Boy". The way he acts on the job.......I would not be surprised if he hits his kids and his wife. I wish there were a way to insist the prison fire him. He's dangerous and is there for the wrong reasons.

Mister Jayy, OC spray isn’t the topic of my original comment. It’s the fact that he says, “Please do it” in context of referencing inmates who say they’re going to hurt themselves. If you go further into the video, then yes, the spray is mentioned - regardless of it being lethal or not, you shouldn’t be saying stuff like this. If you wish people would harm themselves so you can gas them and stop the situation, find a different job.

@@eaglesfly1320 let me educate a few of those 10 braincells of yours. COs make 40-60 thousand dollars a year. This, is not good pay. A CO is constantly around murderers, drug runners, rapists, ect, making it one of the most dangerous jobs in the USA. The way this officer is acting (and the higher ups know it) it completely wrong and he will not last long with this kind of behavior. His job is not sturdy, and like you assumed SiM's, I'm sure yours is even worse.
"First thing that comes to my mind when an inmate is threatening to arm themselves, the first thing that comes to my mind is: *Please* do it. I would love to come in there and just gas you." 😂wait a minute he said that on camera
Just give us a new season of this show already......
“I watched the show cops....I knew I had to be a CO” No, you wanted to be a cop. The question is, why aren’t you? That’s also the wrong reason to get into enforcement. He gets off on the power, id bet. At minimum, it’s the persona of being in charge regardless. It should be to help people, improve your community, help rehabilitate inmates....but, like that’ll happen.
When he said “please do it😂”
so humble. walks 10 feet to a van . "mission complete huge success " most of the day this guy is bsing, looking for issues so he can tell his gf and family that he got in on the action when 97% of the day was spent on his cell phone sitting. 3% spent doing cell 'checks' . dudes a straight weiner .
