That could only be done in Federal court and they don't have civil lawsuits at the federal level. It's reasonable that any employee on any job has protection from frivolous lawsuits. The problem isn't immunity. It's the unions that protect the cops from having their immunity waived when they do something illegal. It should be simple. Cop breaks the law and goes to trial. If found guilty, immunity is waived and the victim can sue the cop directly without the tax payer footing the bill. But since immunity is rarely waived, everyone sues the city and the tax payer is the victim.

People hate the cops because they can put you in jail or write you a ticket. People don’t like to be held accountable. Yes this officer needs to be held accountable because he has been given the trust of the community. Two wrongs don’t make a right a right.

@@smokewagon47 "People don’t like to be held accountable." Really? Perhaps, we should debase the currency even more so that crime will increase magnificently and profoundly. It's clever when a currency is debased crime inevitably escalates. When it's monetary policy to increase crime and instability moreover social decay and moral degradation, etc... Who should be held accountable for this? You? Well, you did vote for it and pay taxes blindly to fund and support it all. You're right that people don't like to be held accountable for their choices.

The only difference between him and many other cops is that they haven't been caught yet. Keep those cameras rolling, and never hesitate to speak out when you see a corrupt cop.

"I asked him to resign but I put he did nothing wrong on paper BEFORE I found out he tampered with body cam footage." Make that make sense chief 🤣🤣

He’s got the complexion for the protection and the connection. No melanated person would get away with being required so many times.

"Abusing his authority. Violating public trust and Lying repeatedly" Sounds like 3 great qualifications for public office.

Unless cops like this are charged with violation of oath of office, they can just keep getting another job in the next town over. End qualified immunity now and hold bad cops like these accountable.

This has nothing to do with qualified immunity. Most of that stuff happened when he was off duty and is a part of his record. You should know exactly what "qualified immunity" means before you start just throwing around random phrases that sound good. If you did, you'd know that that isn't what happened here- what happened here is simply the next department either ignoring or not caring about his record, which actually contained all of these infractions.

I'm going to disagree with you. Most public servants are NOT corrupt. The reason this is a story at all is that this corrupt dishonest cop is quite rare. If they were more common then this wouldn't be a story, right?? I wish corruption among gov't officials was extinct, but it's not. I know this disrupts your narrative of "all gov't is corrupt" but you're wrong, thankfully.

Rotten fish float to the top of the lake. This guy had no business in a police uniform. He should be in jail. The chief should be removed.

It happen all across this country, not just Michigan. Keep up the good work in reporting this corruption.

100% why police departments should not investigate themselves. When a bad cop or even something a bad cop does on their own time gets caught doing something illegal that cop's history should be documented in a nationwide data base like your driver's license history is.
