- BRISTOL, TN (WJHL) - A Bristol, Tennessee police officer is out of a job after speaking his mind on camera about a controversial department policy and Sen. Jon Lundberg (R), District 4, told us he shoulders some of the burden.

Shouldn’t matter to who she is. If she’s wrong she’s wrong.
She had tinted windows
You clearly don't know how it works. Power=you can do anything you want.
That's called power
You clearly live under a rock
@@GrabbaBeer another liberal. Y’all are broken records going round and round. Hypocrisy. All of you.
Good to know, if you’re a political figure you can get away with crimes.
Is he above the law.sack his ass.
@@thelastdracolich1237 the pig made it seem like he was so there's that dumbass 🙄
I mean police main job and creation was to protect the interests of white men. And who are the political office full of ya enough said. The plantation owners just moved up and made states there plantations.
You clearly don't know what a crime is
@@gregorywright9971 wow you are stupid lol
Senator should not call the police chief about his daughter or any other relative. Chief should not talk to senator. Chief should resign😡😠
Funny that a senator can change laws, but can't get an officer's job back.
its the senator bro...trump can cause a riot
If you are an elected official you have ZERO right to call anyone for ANY favors nor anything else! The corruption in this country between law enforcement and elected officials has NEVER gone away.
You didn't watch the video...
@@applejacks971 yes we did, the senator was clearly trying to get his daughter out of a ticket. He can try and spin it however he wants, that's what happened.
@@noc4265 ya idiot, the officer wants the daughter to call his father to ask for a favor stpid idiot
Probably all Trump supporters. The corrupt cop will get his job back. The corruption will continue when he is reinstated.
And have the audacity to call to others countries corrupts...shaking my head!!
UPDATE: The officer has now been hired by Sullivan County Sherrifs Office
how do you know.? if so im happy for him.
Awesome!
Bullshit! He’s permanently off the job!
Bullshit he’s in jail
So happy he got a job.. it's always the hard-working people who suffer at the hands of these seat warmers...
They fire someone for this but won’t do so for taking a life or some other form of real abuse? Ridiculous.
If he had killed an unarmed man/ women he would still have his job. The levels of right and wrong is sick. Ticket for tint and asking someone to ask Sen L to get involved (PUT YOUR BAGDE ON MY DESK) (KILL UNARMED MAN/ WOMEN LEAVE WITH PAY/ STILL EMPLOYEE)
@@KIMBTS5813 Y’all really don’t understand that this is a completely different agency than those. And again every shooting or incident needs to have and investigation first before you just go ahead and fire someone.
@angel diaz Your second comment makes more sense, this one is just dumb. This happens for Asian, Black etc. senators as well. It's abuse of power, not privilege of skin color. I am not even American and even I can tell you that.
Black and white lives matter, but white feelings matter more.
@@SamuraiKage-iv3ow How dare you hurt my feelings!
Damm, if only I wasn't a middleclass white man, I could have canceled you ;(
As a citizen I feel much safer having a cop talk to me like a human and understand the depth of such situations than to have a cop treat me like Im walking machine gun who happened to drive a car
hes only doing it because he know the woman and her father is in this senate. you think hes treating anybody else this way? you think hell cover up the mic and instruct random civilians on how to get out of a ticket? quit it
The Senator 100% called the Police Chief being pissed off.
At least initially.
Cop kills guy for reaching for wallet
*GETS PAID VACATION*
@500thou You can't even spell. Shut up
i made the comment 667 from 666 . say thanks .
*Black man reaches for wallet after being asked for I’d shot 7500 times they had the whole force force because he was reaching for something.
Depends on totality of the circumstances. Officers tell you to not reach for anything and to see your hands, then don't reach for it like a dumbass. Thats enough for officers to believe you might be reaching for a weapon instead of a wallet, and many officers are not gonna take the chance to find out what he/she is pulling out. Dont be a dumbass and argue with an officer and just follow simple orders. Take it to court.
Thats how criminal investigations work. Please stop talking.
Imagine how corrupt this family is that the daughter's immediate response to getting pulled over is to call her corrupt politician father.
My thoughts exactly
If my dad was the senator, you bet your ass I’m calling him lol
@@nthnprice Why? Because you are more of human being than everybody else and you are above the law?
@@nthnprice ooof really though? I mean likely you have the money to pay the ticket, why would you involve your dad. Almost feels like involving him would potentially cause something like what happened here not to mention it iw corrupt as all heck. I am not sure that you would if you were in the same socioeconomic reality my man..
The cop literally told her to call her dad wtf lol
How sad! She's breaking the law, yet he suffers her consequences!
he had laws he broke on his own.
Yeah I think his actions by themselves wouldn’t have been too bad but within the context of a traffic stop where he stated that the cops,were specifically looking for her to pull over, it’s pretty bad.
she didnt ask him to cover for her, what are you on about? also, you think tinted windows are worse than corruption in our law enforce? you people live on a different planet
@@tramarthomas6105 I had to lower my iq to read your comment.
That corrupt politician is the one who should get fired. Less corrupt politicians means better for America.
The fact that he called the Chief shows the Senator is full of crap.
Yes, the senator engaged in public corruption by calling the chief and discussing his ticket in the first place. The daughter felt bad because the cop was her childhood friend probably and told daddy to get him his job back.
He was on speaker phone when the officer told his daughter they were on the lookout for her because they know she have dark tint. The senator did what and man would do by having a sit down with the chief and see why they're targeting his family.
Wtf? He asked her to have his dad call about the window tinting enforcement. Your comment makes no sense.
@@Hello-zf5lq I'm pretty sure she is the one who got him involved. Little two face snake
@Eddy Love L comment
This is what you called privilege
It’s disgusting to me. This stuff happens all the time.
EXACTLY, THE FACT THAT HER DAD IS A SENATOR AND WAS PERSONALLY INVITED TO THE STATION FOR A WINDOW TICKET. I GET YOUR COMMENT
um she got a ticket, he got fired and tax dollars were wasted, what privilege ?
What if it was Obamas daughter no ticket and damn look at that privilege
Theres black and Mexican senators I wonder if they have privalage..it has existed in family's through out time but not one certain race
Once again, “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM”. Why do they think they’re better than everybody else.
And these are your so called politicians?
I call BS on the senator! He definitely called to get out of tickets but it backfired on him.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Wrong, the officer admits they are stalking his family i think u guys didn't see footage
The only reason the senator is trying to help the officers out because he looks bad out in the public eye 👁
That’s exactly right she had no business calling her D A D D Y!!!
Willie Deval Parker I agree ...
yup that's about it.
Senator is part of collusion to rob the people. And to violate privacy and the bill of rights at all sister states bill of rights. That are in harmony.
even so, an officer should never, never ever "disable his audio" under any circumstance
Politicians and family members can break the law and get away with things like this!!!!! I hope their community holds them accountable
Just goes to show how CROOKED some people can be.
This bothers me, on a deep level. This shows that some people really are above the law. I have always respected law enforcement, but don't ever ask me to believe that is impartial.
Stop typing shit. Obviously many people are above the law. We all know that. Police are also above the laws
What does this comment even mean in English? "but don't ever ask me to believe that is impartial"?
Civilian comments are so funny to me you guys actually know nothing 😂
Please, you have all been indoctrinated to believe law is for everyone. But in reality it's just as corrupt as third world countries. There is corruption all the way up and including at the presidential level. Just cause you refuse to take in the evidence does not make any less true..
The officer did break the law tho, he cover his microphone and told the woman to call his father… that was pretty stupid.
If disabling your body cam is an action that can cause you to get fired then half the police officers in this country should be terminated.
Public officials should be out of office for being above the law!
Any cop that covers their microphone is obviously up to no good
@@raversfantasy In this case he actually and objectively wasn't "up to no good". The problem is, that didn't stop him from covering it up anyway.
@@andyfletcher3561 still tried to cover, aka not good. Moreover pigs must know not everyone is average Joe.
Anyway Spectacle whale is out, So why so bother lol
@@kkit8629 I've said on every comments thread I've replied to concerning this incident firing the officer was the right outcome. I would extend that to every LEO that was on the scene. I actually believe it should be a felony...His motives were actually good, moral in fact, however, if he was willing to cover it up in this case, what about when he is actually compromised.
Looks like all the people involved including the cops , the senator, his daughter all need to be in prison.
Are we talking Death Row?
This is criminal. The senator should be arrested for corruption.
It wasn't the senator's fault you idiot! Watch it again and pay attention
You didnt even watch the video did you?
@@stefansibbes2440 Senator is full of shit. He called in a favor and got caught. So now he's backpedaling hard.
So this just proves how power gets you out of anything
And it should
@@kylereese4542 spotted the privileged kid
@@pengic5456 Not even close.
@Tyrone Shoelaces Yer delusional. They fired the cop because senator daddy called. Then he got caught and did what every politician does: Lie. Savvy?
That’s the point of getting power. Nothing wrong with it. Perks of being on top.
They were classmates. He was being a little childish.
Did not deserve to be sacked. Period 💯
100 percent agree. He should not have lost his job.
They’re practically friends so..
@@andrewkim9769 I thought the same at first..but everything deserves a second look. Opinion: She is the problem here!!! Please believe soon as she drove off, she called daddy and played "victim". Even after smiling in her so called classmate's face. She dramatically magnified the situation and made it seem like she was targeted and her life was in danger for being his daughter. So he called and used his power to escalate the situation. Only after he was granted the video evidence did he see that his POS daughter was being overdramatic and a decent cop loss his livelihood.
@@Stradagee you do not know how to assess a situation at all. First off they are friends, former classmate. Second she didn’t call her dad afterward, he was already on the phone on speakers, she was pulled over while having a phone call with him. Third he wasn’t fired for giving her a citation, he was fired for violating a policy (covering mic) and scrutinizing a law (tinted windows). You can argue the punishment being too harsh but he was clearly in the wrong. Please have less of an opinion.
@@Stradagee dude you really suck at comprehending what happened lol. They tell you everything that happened, and you’re making up fake scenarios 😂. Super ignorant of you to make assumptions when the facts are literally spoonfed to you. Ppl like that are the problem 🤦🏽
Im anti tinted windows. Really dark windows is a scary thing when its on a car that look...shady and undoubtedly suspicious.
This is disgusting. No one is above the law. It's ridiculous that she believes she's entitled and not susceptible to the same laws as everyone else. It's just gross! I'm tired of seeing this type of behavior from these kinds of people!
The cop did this to himself, back in my time I heard that "you know who i'm" crap too many times, I just ignore the asshat comments, and continue doing what I was doing, and also things that started out simple, ended up like huge mess for the person that just kept spitting bullsht...
It's almost as if you didn't watch the video. She didn’t ask for special treatment.
Yes. Just like my violent terrorist employee and his family did to me and now they bullied me out of my position becaUe NOONE punishes then but instead rewards it!!!!! Well good luck with that Terrorist family Pentagon and Royalty!!!!!!
The cop clearly pressured her to use her dad to get out of it. I think if he hadn't pulled that shady BS, she would've just dealt with it normally
The cop said the whole department was targeting her, and she still defended him. I agree this video shows how missed up the system is, but she was the victim. Open your eyes and ears wider than your preconceived assumptions.
Politics at its finest.

he's probably working for Bluff City PD, if not then Waste Management picking up trash.
Thanks to her White Daddy Senator privilege an officer lost his job.
What about them?
its fake news... no republican would do this, its the liberals who hate cops not us
Manny B. Coronado JT
Her window tint is to dark! She broke the law. Give her a ticket her dad is rich he can afford it.
Stfu u socialist broke piece of shit, when I’m rich in future I’m not gonna give u shit cause I worked for it.
Wow, I feel sorry for you
@@sparten11742 for whom?
Thats not the point of the story. The cop got fired bc he told the girl to get her dad to change the law. Not bc they dont wanna pay a ticket.
He didn’t get fired because her told the spoiled girl to talk to her dad.
When someone goes against company policy, even a police officer, they are asking for trouble. Covering the microphone and asking the woman to have her dad get involved probably made the chief pretty mad because his officer was circumventing the normal channels of authority. Dumb move on the officer's part.
He called in and dry snitched. 😂😂😂
This goes to show how corrupt some of our police departments really are.
Correction...the senator is

*Kill an unarmed person: Suspended with pay*
*Cover up your mic during a traffic stop: Fired*
Yeah, that's balanced.
Thats because one of those is an embarrassment to the police department and the other one is just killing an unarmed black man.
@@seanewing845 They didn't specify the unarmed person's race in that comment.
@@AGooeyMass I am not talking about this case specifically. I am talking about thousamds of othwr cases in 🇺🇸.
Ok?
I was going to type this
This stuff happens all the time. Make a call and it's brushed under the rug. The father made the call to complain and it got the cop fired solely because of the call, not like he explained it , or he never would have made the call. Officers are fired for stupid reasons like this, but never for the horrible stuff the bad cops do.
There's a big difference between a cop voicing his opinion to a childhood friend and to a random stranger
I bet he called rather pissed. Got the guy fired, and now he knows it was a bad looking situation, now trying to act like the hero..
exactly.
Jeffrey Layman Exaaaaactly
Nah, if that were the case then why would police officer friend of the daughter be so eager to help her in the first place? If the Senator was such an asshole, then the cop would probably have been happy to give his daughter a ticket.
Jeffrey Layman BET
That argument is shaky. The cop was friends with the Senator's daughter.
So the senator’s old friend the chief invited him on over to the station where they together viewed the video footage of his daughter’s case in the chief’s private office. So what would happen if a father, an ordinary citizen called up or went over to view his daughter’s video? “We can’t show you that sir.”
IKR and wow and he feels so bad about it too. SMH
Umm anyone can view body cams if you file the request it's not only for rich or politician
I don't know if anyone has the right to get a copy of the video from someone else's case even if it's her father as she is an adult. If they did, it would go through "official channels" and take time. Here none of that happened anyway. No one made a written or even verbal request. The senator just called his pal the chief and went over and viewed the video in the chief's office and had a great friendly chat. So any citizen can do this? Try doing it. Try even calling the chief. I'm sure he'll invite you right over to his private office and watch the video with you right away.
Anyone else then the footage would be part of an investigation, and thus, cannot be viewed at this time while we edit and doctor the footage to put us in a better light
Rick rick so this senator snitched on his friend huh.
Ain't this corruption?
Wow, I’m very impressed that the senator is paying for his attorney.
Yeah senator it's hilarious. Now a police officer is out of a job for no reason.
It's not the senators fault tho lmao, it's honestly the chiefs fault and the officers. As much as I disagree with him being fired I see why
Nexus Customs xx CX xz h.
It's the cops fault for opening his mouth how can u say everyone down at the station said we would all give u a ticket Haha come on he pretty much told her right there we all talk about u down at the office I'm glad I got u first Haha he a dumb ass talk to much
No reason? Guess u werent listening.
He was a bad cop. Now he's flipping burgers
The title is confusing, the officer did not get fired for pulling the senator’s daughter over, it is what he did and said (covering his microphone and telling her to tell her dad to make a call to clear her off) is what got him fired.
Clickbait
Corruption can come in many forms and when a state senator gets involved with a city police department enforcing a law and then the officer covers his mic to try and withhold his comment from the official record of the stop is never going to be a good thing. We are all equal under the law, or so they say. But this right here speaks to the power and influence politicians and their families hold in the judicial system. This is what needs to be addressed, among many other things within judicial law enforcement. If her dad was not a sitting senator, she would of faced a hefty fine and court costs and surcharges. But because her father sat in a seat of power, her charge will and probably was dismissed without a single secondary thought.
Jurnalism
It exactly according to the title
He wasn't trying to get her to have her father get her out of the ticket as much as he was trying to bring to light a law that he didn't agree with but still upheld by giving her the ticket. At least that how I understood this report
Cops do ten times worse and aren't fired.
CSM1470 trust me I know plenty
100 times worse.
CSM1470 Or at worst they lose their job but get it back on appeal. This guy couldn't even do that.
Don’t reach when they say don’t reach, especially with the climate “ACAB, pigs in a blanket” they know there are people who want to kill cops. So they are being very careful cause they want to go home to their families at night, if you don’t reach for things they tell you not to reach for. You don’t get shot, I don’t think a cop wants to wait for you to reach for something before shooting. Cause this might happen.
“Oh he must be reaching for his wallet cause he said so, and of course this person is telling the tru- **Bang bang, cop is dead**
A thousand times. How many times do body cam "malfunctions" happen at the exact same time as an excessive force complaint? Also notice that in this case, the Police Union left this officer twisting slowly in the wind. Because that's how public employee unions work.
the cop got fired for exposing their quota system
uncleD departments don’t use quota systems that’s a myth
they are also known lairs, theives and will make up false police reports just to secure a conviction
He admitted they are being told to ticket tint violators. He also told her she was being targeted, then right after that tries to deny it. Cops are trained to lie, prosecutors suppress evidence in order to get convictions, they are there to fuck anyone that ends up in their path.
+ZIPPER978 They do have quotas lol.
ZIPPER978 What! Police departments don't use quotas? Yes they do, what world do you live in. They have been for decades.
the way she get away from a compromise...its a nice way to teell she was raised well
The senator believes that not only is he above the law, but his family is included in that assumption! Boy, how do you need to vote that went out of office ASAP.
the senator should resign and the chief should get fired
Joe N why would the senator resign
Idiot!
Andrew Horner It shows how privilege political people are. The cop did his job and tried to give her slack
@@andrew.cash13 becuSe he’s a corrupt piece of trash.
@@ibmsst Do you have proof? I’m glad you’re not a judge or you would be handing life sentences to people without a shred of evidence.
The police chief should be fired immediately
One of my friends fathers is a Cop. He said one bad thing about body cams is it makes difficult for police to let people off with a break. For Ex: pre body cam era kid with a small bag of weed gets told to get lost. Post body cam gotta follow through with the arrest. Officers have very little discretion now. However with all of the police brutality I think it’s necessary and if you don’t break the law you don’t have to worry about catching a break.
Jessica McBrearty that’s not true even with body cam officers can still use discretion.
@@jessicamcbrearty5862 those bodycam files always get checked and saved permanently?
@@victorpena3129 not if its drug related like he said
You have a vagina.
The Chief should have given the cop a raise for doing his duty. Something stinks 😷
The Officer should have treated her the same as anyone else!
The senator complained that his wife and daughter were pulled over and now he's trying to cover his butt with the voters.
Exactly!
Boy, that privilege.
It’s insane 💆🏾♂️
If they can do that to them, sit down and watch the violation.
Why can’t they do that for us?
what???? how is this okay?
Yeah, I'm sure the sanator called the police chief after 2 of his family members received citations that day so that he could joke around with him about it.
Not every realistic, is it?
They fired him for a cause. If i would have my car windows tinted that way I would get a ticket and a court day. She is no different from me.
She did get a ticket.
The whole point was the officers felt the focus on window tint was a metric goal (as in, trying to drum up ticket numbers) and this particular officer was trying to use the Senator's daughter to ease up the policy.
It wasn't about getting her off, it was about getting her dad to call the Chief, and get him to stop hounding them for window tint tickets. You don't sign up to be a cop so that you can milk your community for money with bullshit tickets.
Kyle Rae BOOM, first comment I read that got it, the people in this comment section are playing mental gymnastics trying to stay within their echo chamber using all different reasoning to be for or against the action of the chief or the senator, how about the cop that didn't want to spend his career ticketing non-criminals for a victimless crime lol, you're awesome and I love the way you think 😁👍
@@kylerae9196 Cops are revenue collectors dude.
MY problem is he is trying to obscure his microphone/block his body cam footage. That is grounds for termination. What other instances has this officer done that? I wonder if there are criminal cases, he applied this tactic to get someone convicted.
Just how he raised her to embarrass him.....
THERE'S NO EXCUSE CHILDREN
Corrupt & desgusting cops and politicians!!!
That officer clearly wasn't popular with the other officers/chief.
That cop didn't deserve to be fired he saw an unjust law and he was trying to inform somebody who had the power to change it
Well said.
No, I'm a goat.
Jerry Hill so because her father could get her out the ticket he should right
The cop broke the law by saying that her father is above the law that was the problem here
Jerry Hill I'm sure the intent of the police officer here was not to change a law, but I'm sure it was to get senators daughter and he's old school friend out of a ticket, so yes it is a fireable offense. Would he of told you that? Ask yourself that...
The police officers job is to enforce laws, not make them. He deserved to be sacked
Some people are above the law. Amazing
Yup, he was punished for it. 😢. That’s unfortunate. Smh.
Ya tint is too dark, I don't care WHO you are, here's your ticket and I DARE yo daddy to take my job.
Gary Miller bet ?
Triggered!
Gary Miller kill me , meet me at Fullerton High School , Fullerton CA at 3:00 pm I'll be at the red poles waiting
gomphrena triggered is a bitch made word, dumb bitch
Gary Miller That’s a threat, you ignorant, violent assfuck.
She’s so privileged
Realms - On what are you basing this? The little bit we saw here showed her as polite and accepting of the cop's decision to pull her over for the tint violation.
The cop deserved to get fired... Was this malicious intent?... No, but there NEEDS to be ZERO tolerance for ANY cop that interferes with audio/video evidence of an interaction. COPS can't decide when, and when not to record their own actions... How can you argue otherwise?
This cop covered his mike for a silly reason, but he did it. He also knew he was breaking policy or he would NOT have thought to cover it. He paid the price and got fired, but the "entitled" girl didn't wish it upon him.
i don't think the cop deserved to be fired...
to those who didn't understand, the cop pulled her over and tried to convince her to talk with her dad, try to mute the microphone is wrong? hell yeah.
but if you pay attention, the cop in this case is unbeliavable good! he says he don't agree with the chief policy, which is "STOP EVERYONE AND BRING THEIR DAMM MONEY", if a chief is stupid enough to make all his subordinates to go out there and instead of protect, just charge them, how many illegal stops and tickets you guys think this chief makes them do?
far from me defending police, but remember, not all cops are corrupt, but the system is. the superiors always cover for them and always teach them to do bad things, even when they don't wanna do, that is why god cops are rare nowdays, the entire system is bad. which makes even the "good" cops bad, because its really rare see they turn over the corrupt ones (like the case of that girl who charge another police guy for drunking and high speed and got harassed, the entire system is shit)
so when i see a cop saying he would rather do his job instead of being out there just ticketing everyone? ofc i agree with him. his job includes issuing tickets? yes, but that is the ONLY FUCKING THING chiefs makes them do, for good officers, that wasn't why they signed for.
and remember, he could easily said "yeah guys, i was wrong, i'm learned my lesson blablabla" and get his job back, but instead he said "yeah, i did wrong trying to mute the microphone, but i don't regret the things i talked, i don't agree with the chief policy"
but i agree with Common logic about the audio thing... but by the way he tried to do, makes me think he isn't good at that, which relieves me.
Ladod Draran - We get your point, but what you need to take into consideration is that (as you said) the cop covered his microphone.
It was more an act of subordination this time (still wrong), and not trying to cover a human rights violation, but WHO gets to decide that? Do we let the COPS decide when it's OK to mute the equipment?...
Do we let the police agencies decide when it's ok to mask or with-hold what's happening during citizen interactions, in essence, "policing themselves"?... Do we let a local government official Who's friends with the Police Chief decide whether a cop can be fired or retained after stopping his daughter?
The above scenarios are the exact reason why things are like they are today. The only system everybody (except the corrupt) can agree on is digital documentation of police interactions where the officer and dept. do not have the capability to pause, alter or lose the files before trial dates.
We all see what this cop did and most of us would be tempted to do the same, but ZERO tolerance is the only way. This was an unfortunate example that hopefully makes the other cops in that town think twice before taking "creative liberties" with equipment bought by us to protect us.
Ladod - Yeah I wish we could depend on each cop's interpretation of what his "Job" is. We've seen that it's not a perfect world and that cops need to be trained and TOLD what their job is as each officer seems to have a different approach to "law enforcement".
Realistically, as well as literally speaking we do not hire scholars to be cops. Generally, no college education is required.
Signing up for law enforcement is like signing up for the military. There are tiers of Superiors, authority, and bureaucratic bullshit to answer to and uphold whether you think it is right or not.
I couldn't do it, but I expect the people we pay to take orders to do just that. We pay others at higher levels a higher wage to make the decisions. Not every soldier is a General. When we lose subordination among the troops, we lose the war.
It really is a joke that with all of the blatant infractions we see perpetrated by rogue cops with NO disciplinary action that THIS guy would be made the example... But I have to stick with my opinion.
Now the officer should run against him.
In America you can get fired over anything! It's truly disgusting how in this country people lack so much empathy!
U think in only in America this happens??
This happens in Canada and all around the world. 😊
@akumarvilla14 More in America and other Western society because people lack empathy. They are merciless, no such thing here as second chance.
Exactly no empathy
Doesn't this officer know that politicians are Gods and you shall not dare mess with them.
ChucoTownElPasoTX V I’m just commenting because you’re from El Paso lol.
ChucoTownElPasoTX V What does this have to do with her dad? He got himself into the situation, the senator didn’t fire him. If anything you would think deep down the senator would like the cop for doing that cause it was his daughter. You guys that keep making statements like that are beyond stupid!
I believe some of you people didn't watch or understand the video. The police chief was the bad guy, everyone else was the good guy.
Her dad didnt try to get him fired though, did you even watch the video or commented based on the title of the video
Would the cop do that for you.
Do what exactly he didn't do anything?
what are your talking about. the senators wife and daughter both were issued tickets and both paid them
yes, he would have... he literally said that he has to give tickets to everyone. He was unbiased toward the kid of someone with power in the state he works in so yeah, he would have.
sam drucker actually yes.All I had to do was kiss a cop to get out of a ticket
Aria Major he tols her that one call would let her off the hook. pigs only do this for the powerful
runaway abuse of power to get a family out of a ticket by fring the officer.
well i hope the senate hire him
WHy does she get special treatment? Law should be unbiased! UNBIASED.
She still got fined, I feel the officer actually wanted the policy changed he wasn't suggesting they just write forget it. If he was genuinely corrupt he could have just let the daughter off without a fine.
dale osborne I see your stance, but if there really was no level of corruption here then there would not have been this dialogue at all. Just a situation as everyone else would have received. Keep in mind, being biased to any degree, including harboring any level of favoritism, is not what any individual that takes an oath to uphold the law should posses as a trait. Think and say what you may, but the fact that remains....this is complete bullshit. Choose when and to whom to exercise the law. Nice
I dont consider an officer actively trying to issue a person a fine to draw attention to an issue corrupt, back-channel and not by the book sure but the officer was not seeking any personal gain.
John Smith very true. I like how this Senator uses this as a publicity ploy to increase his likeability to the public. So transparent. Typical scumbag politician.
Is a human unbiased? No. You wanna get policed unbiased? Well, lets upload Skynet.
Machines are unbiased towards humans.
I love stupid people. STUPID PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
That cop deserves to lose his job. He would have treated any one of us common folk differently.
how? he still wrote her a ticket. he just said her father could get rid of it, but he didnt do anything himself to get rid of it or give her a pass.
He would have treated anyone else differently.
sure he may not have been as friendly to a stranger, but he would've issued us a ticket just like he did to her
He deserves to be fired
haha youre crazy, It was a punishable(teachable) moment, Its not like this resulted in any loss of life. Good on the officer for writing the ticket even though he didnt agree. A stern talking to and he'll be ready for a promotion in a month. Hope to talk to you when you grow up, Square Bear ;)
That sure sent a message to all cops that may pull over any of his family members in the future
Should of given her a warning period. Officer has discretion
When you think of all the truly heinous things that cops have done to innocent people and never even received a slap on the wrist, firing this guy for nothing important is insane. My country has officially lost its damn fool mind. 😞
its quite well known in departments that you DO NOT arrest big shot’s or their family members, even if you’re right it’s usually way way more trouble then its worth even if its for something minor…..well unless you like being demoted, forced out or having your worklife be a living hell
@@nathan-ls8yw how is that fair? The whole system is rigged. Crimes are crimes regardless of who you are
@@E_Rico 🤷🏻♂️ it is what it is i guess..nobody wants to jeopardise their jobs to speak up cause we all have families to look after
He got fired because he tried to cover his words by whispering. He told the girl to just call her dad and it will all be done. He was basically encouraging that fact that they should use their power over the law. Worth firing as well as other things cops do.

They knew each other from high school. If trying to fix a little something for a former classmate is a firing offense, we wouldn't have a cop left on any police force in the country. Let's have perspective here. In the grand scheme of things, cops have killed innocent people and kept their jobs.
This guy: Covers his microphone, and gives a ticket - looses badge
Other police officers: strangles a kid and drops bodycam - gets off with a warning/suspension
Ok and which officer?
Usually PAID leave
Cop choke a cop recently Nd just get desk duty
I’m totally fine with an officer being shitcanned for covering up their mic and/or body cam. You disagree?
@@CallMeUbba I’m taking a shit
ABSOLUTELY NOT , I was just callin’ my ol’ kin folk 😉
Easy to tell the senator's been a politician a long time.. He's smooth as silk with his lies.
A genuine cop that speaks to you like a human being while giving you a fine. That'd be nice! Guy should be on every force
He knew who's daughter he was talking to for one, and two she was his classmate, mate.
@@alexandercotard2425 That's not the point lol
Cops in USA are not genuine so long the rules will not be changed
Yeah only if your yt and your dads a senator 😂
Unprofessional cop fired, good riddance
His crime is he exposed the Quotas to target certain crimes during the week.
BigD Travels negative. His policy offense is that he covered his mic. If he did it for something he thought was wrong, but minor, what if it were something wrong in a major way. He lost public confidence and put the credibility of every officer in his department, and really, locale, on the table.
He also suggested a violator use political and personal ties to subvert and supplant department policy. And he did it on audio and video recording.
I commend the department for self policing, no pun intended.
BigD Travels Basically.
Exactly!
Crazy how he still wrote the ticket and it ended up getting tossed out by a judge anyways, and then the cop gets fired too.
Like there is something virtuous about his arrogance in trying to fix his arrogance.
Dismiss why? Just because she removed the tint from a car with gov. plates when she doesn't work for the gov doesn't mean she's innocent. When he wrote the ticket, the tint was too dark. Guilty. Her father is also guilty of interfering by calling the chief. Don't care what he says, he was absolutely trying to get his daughter and wife out of the tickets. Hope that state votes him out for the obvious corruption.
White Privilege,Daddy government position privilege. Her tints were illegally dark,she deserved the ticket. Anyone with pitch dark tints have sometimes to illegal or immoral they want to hide. Cops are the only ones who should have pitch dark tints for security and undercover reasons. Those dark tints are also a driving hazard at night. I use to have mild tints and that alone made it difficult to see out windows while driving in nighttime.
Chad, many states have what is commonly called a "Fix It Ticket" (or something like that)... where if you get a ticket for some equipment-related infractions, such as broken headlight, tail-lamp, cracked windshied, tinted windows, etc, etc, etc, you are generally allowed a certain time period to get the denoted equipment repaired prior to the court date and the ticket will be dismissed by the court.
flowergirlDeb of course. I am well aware. If i didn't say this before, then i made the wrong argument. My real question is why is she driving a gov vehicle with gov plates, illegally tinted windows when SHE does not work for the gov. And don't say "well she could" because very few gov workers actually get those vehicles. So her daddy gave her a vehicle, illegally, and then attempted to fix a ticket for her. If his intent was not to fix the ticket, why call the chief? He can't do anything about the tint laws, he would have to call the state house of reps and get THEM to change the law. My issue is more with him than her. But her situation shows the gross double standard that applys to thise in power and those close to them versus the rest of us. Do you think the cop would have told you that one call to a senator could get this fixed? Especially if your dad isn't a senator?
castletriglav do you really think the chief would have fired him if daddy senator hadn't called? Really?? If you do, you're the dumbass.
Keepskatin this has nothing to do with skin color. Its all to do with corruption and abuse of power. There are plenty of black officers, politicians and judges getting away with some shady shit to
You murder someone on the side of the road you get two weeks off with pay you give a senator's daughter a ticket you get fired. Sick
Soldier For God exactly! Cops murder people and get time off with pay.
You should watch the complete video then comment.
They're not going on vacation during the administrative leave. They're being investigated that entire time.
R u deaf
That is because he did it all wrong. He should have beat her unmercifully and tazed then finally fatally shot her. What the heck was he thinking?
He deserved to lose his job for not following protical and established procedures.
I hear he had a new police gig. Bet he shoots first and adds questions later.
I've seen people drag out of there car for way less then that like a animal. Which I don't recommend either 😮How sweet😅
Keep in mind, beating people is routinely considered "within policy" but criticizing the policy with a whisper is what gets you fired. Just get out there and beat people and DO NOT QUESTION it.
People in position of power and authority cannot have such fragile egos.
Shouldnt *
Ok i felt bad for the officer until he started involving her dad and not treating her like a norma person ... smh
WINSTON MOSCOW So if a cop pulls you over, but says he’s just gonna give you a warning and not write you a ticket, are you gonna demand a ticket because you think its wrong for cops to give breaks? Not talking about who you know, cops do give breaks to regular people who don’t know anyone in politics or law enforcement.
zonex productions theirs also discretion amongst police. Not every law needs to be enforced
zonex productions Can’t really take you seriously when you’re not objective and refer to cops as pigs.
Exactly
@@BIGDROC99 I was once in a similar situation. The cop gave me a ticket for moving violation where I hit a parked car, but he told me not to worry about since he wouldnt show up in court and it would thus go away.
Really his wife and daughter in tears. What a croc. That guy is 100% no different than any other politician and is an example of how entitled this generation thinks they are. Let’s just call daddy when there’s a problem.
That’s so scary and make’s paranoia non existence and actually real . Saying they know her car is dark tinted and waiting for her is disturbing.
Hey 👋
How is your day going
But the microphone was NOT fully covered?
Finally a cop sides with a citizen and he gets fired over it. This is absolutely ridiculous to lose a job over that.
He sides with a politician, they never would side with a citizen.
@@EnclosedPoolArea People are let off with warnings ALL the time.
@@triple7marc except he told her to call her dad and the charges would be dropped. If it was just a warning then that is different
"sides with a citizen" lmao he didn't do his job, it's not about sides
He didn't side with a citizen, he sided with a politician's daughter
Senator privilege....
Yup
So a casual conversation between friends was BLOWN WAY UP
How about the senator just calls his chief "friend" and ask him to hire the cop back?
He gets fired for messing with his body cam but other officers body cam footage goes completely missing and they get away with a crime that was recorded on the missing footage
Because they are not filming a senator's daughter. 🤣
It's funny to know there cops that do kill people yet still have there job
The cop was in a lose lose situation or so he thought. The surprising thing is is that the Republican lawmaker is a fair-minded righteous guy which is unusual for today’s Republicans. Maybe because he’s older.
Sen. should have butted out in the first place. Doesn't matter if he had a "Personal" relationship with the chief. He showed the two tiered system. Maybe he should focus on that injustice as well.
I’m starting to question if anyone in the comments watched the video lmao, the officer didn’t get fired because he pulled over the senator’s daughter it was because he covered up his mic when talking to her and was trying to give her special treatment. If he didn’t cover his mic and treated her like she was just another ordinary person who had their windows too tinted, then he wouldn’t have gotten fired. Sheesh
Oh! As long as you record killing an unarmed subject out of fear your job security is secured
That's probably the"official" reason, meaning it's a technicality they can use.
He didnt give her special treatment tf he asked her can she talk to her dad about getting rid of the tint law. Did we even watch the same video lol cause im sure i heard him say “im gonna give you a citation” then he gave her the ticket.
The only way he could have not been fired would be to give you her a verbal warning about the tint. Why do you think the senator called the chief of police? "fire that cop, make it look legit".
Thank you, James!
That is corruption on the cop's part.
Corrupt
Neil Sparrow most definitely cause now we know what we've known all along that they can do what they want plain simple
Blocking your mic is instant grounds for removal period. Body cam and microphones are good for the future. Hopefully technology will improve this further. We need honest officers. However, I don't think he should lose his job for suggesting she take it up with her father if she wants it to change.
