You forgot his 2009 felony arrest for 'felony menacing '(the same charges he's facing now). Apparently, he pointed his gun at his roommate. But, the charges were later dismissed.
Let them enjoy some pro so on time. Please.
Get your $$ whipped by police for trespassing. Amazing
melmeldc It should be a federal mandate that cops have body cams recording every encounter they have with arresting suspects. If not they should be automatically terminated, no excuses..
Making hard to settle in a state 🙃 everybody wildin 🙃 😂 cant have sh*t
Another case of KKKops doing their job in Aurora CO: beating and killing black people. That’s what they’re hired to do.

Sick of these monsters
coward cops EmptyBadges BothBreakers CowardCops it is time to change at the very core how police are trained educated and especially disciplined in this country it is time for civilian review boards to take over the police they cannot be trusted to police themselves any longer
In the gang world, you can be assured of three outcomes: incarceration, serious bodily injury or death. I have yet to see a successful gang member who stayed in the game.
These two guys need to be kicked off the force and never allowed to be cops again, anywhere in the world. They probably had records when they were hired!
Let's see the video. If it is what is said no one will object to his hanging however let's see the video as we knew npr and most people grossly misrepresent to straight up lie about these incidents.
The other cop probably didn't do anything because scared of losing his job if he spoke up. Normalize calling out your coworkers and normalize not being fired for telling them to stop!
Another 'rotten apple'? Time to clean-out those 'barrels.' 😡 (On average, US POLICE KILL 1000 citizens each year.)
Face of evil - god awful male!
You should not break a law to enforce a law.. Its common sense..
clean up the police force pls
There is no reforming this.
Pig face
Was the bloke getting bashed a long term criminal CUSHITE, like THE FAKE $20 criminal CUSHITE, RESISTING ARREST was
lewishardy Psychological evaluations should be mandatory nationally. Arming mentally unfit individuals to determine life and death sentences is atrocious!
No good cops. 🐷 ACAB
🐷🐷🐷
🍕💩
Putt him in prison with the same people He did wrong I'm sure He will receive the respect that He gave them
Another 'hero' exposed for his normal behavior. Business As Usual.
this is only a crime if the suspect is black. if the suspect is white this is encouraged.
Good . Let’s get rid and bad cops, I have no problem with that.
🇺🇸’s 1,000,000,000th bad seed.
The whole damn tree is rotten
This needs to happen more often.
So what!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🌵🏜
Failing to intervene. What did you want him to do, shoot the officer? The retaliation he would face, and expose his family to, would be severe. LEO's are la cosa nostra. Families that swear the omerta code. Best to just get fired.
I wish every civilian had to police the community for a month. Let them see the BS an officer puts up with on a daily basis.
...and *that's* his wedding photo!
Take. Their. Pensions.
Interestingly enough, both Denver and Aurora have reported they have to many openings on their police departments.
Now a quality DA is needed
When cops become just another street gang, they must be held accountable.
Aurora CO has a problem within their Police Force.
Protect and serve.
Abuse of authority? Should not be paid to protect and serve or somehow that was missing from his mission’s understanding. Temper tantrum?
A step in the right direction…but anyone who talks about “bad apples” needs to address why the “good apples” never speak up or intervene. The rest of the saying is pertinent, “spoil the barrel.”
Thank goodness video caught it. Can't believe it's still happening.
If this is policing, criminals are therefore also police officers, and no distinction between the two. Really, is this law enforcement? Enough!!!
ACAB
Tip of the iceberg.
Where’s Adam Schiff?
Apologies to the know criminal for what? Getting caught? Excessive force, perhaps, resisting arrest, perhaps. Never say your sorry to a criminal, it’s a sign of weakness! Criminal’s attitude, commit crime, she will say we’re sorry.
Remember folks, this 'bad apple' was not exposed because good cops intervened, it took cameras! Something, we sorely could have used in the last 60 years. Bodycams protect the people and officers. It's a common sense policy that should be mandatory
'The man was hospitalized after he was arrested on suspicion of trespassing' 🤦 seriously. So the suspect wasn't even some Hannibal Lecter serial killer type? He was suspected of trespassing?!
PIG
Interesting. So if the perpetrators refuse to be arrested what is the fall back position for the police. I understand it’s wrong just curious.
Daily dose of police wusses
He was great in 'Full Metal Jacket.'
From the article: ''This is not the Aurora police department,' Wilson said. 'This was criminal.'' Clearly, the two are not mutually exclusive. This sort of accountability - AND NOTHING ELSE - will change police culture and behavior.
Gomer!
A few bad apples... SPOIL THE BATCH. ACAB BLM
GAF
Good, American policing is in crisis
Well, he just looks friendly, ya know?
Lock them up. These are not police officers they are criminals.
Small dick energy runs rampant thru police officer agencies
what the eff is aurora's problem?
MonsterMash
Great, the more they charge the bystander cops, the more their toxic culture can be disrupted.
CarolYMorrisse1 PoliceThePolice
Take their badges away as well as any right to obtain police job anywhere in the U.S. after they serve time in prison.
WhiteSupremacy is alive and well in coloradogov AuroraPD
Gotta say...I'm not 100% sure u can always automatically blame the second cop. In these situations, instigator is ALWAYS their superior. How does second cop know there wasn't a legit reason they missed? How do they know other cop won't shoot them in rage, or something?
Oh yeah.. Cops in prison to taste the real medicine. It will be soon enough where he will be getting a good azz kickn and a nice poke in the gut or face.. Its real!
Even when you comply with AuroraPD you are beaten bloody and nearly shot. I grew up in Aurora, and the lot of you are rotten.
So, he took his anger out on the guy who didn’t run from him. What’s the lesson here? Run from the cops!
What is it gonna take for people to finally realize how out of control police are in this country?
Get your act together Aurora, theater mass shootings, police department is a bunch of thugs. Is it the water?
jengrimes8 '𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙰𝚞𝚛𝚘𝚛𝚊 𝚙𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚍𝚎𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝,' 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚜𝚘𝚗 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍. Oh, but it is.
ACAB
Another out of control animal on the force.
Poor cops ☹☹
It's like the CO police wants to fire themselves & beg for the public to judge them harshly. What is wrong w these ppl? We want & need them to protect us but we don't need brutality & unnecessary force from them either. SMH.
Good
Wrong job....
End qualified immunity. It’s nothing but a license to kill.
Lock Him UP!
Disgusting.
“The man was hospitalized after he was arrested on suspicion of trespassing.” This thug beat him so bad he was hospitalized. You cannot reform this behavior.
Disgusting disgraceful!
I'll have a liter of cola
Coulda just posted his pic and I'd be like 'oh, police misconduct'
You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but holy shit, that cover screams 'Private Pyle.'
More of the same from the place that murdered Elijah McClain and brought the movie theater mass shooter in alive.
