    The person who hired him needs to be fired and held accountable for this guy’s actions.

    You can't get a job as an Uber driver with a DUI on your record, but you can get a job as a cop??? Why are cops held to a lower standard than Uber drivers???

    This is what a barbaric beast looks like.

    If 6 agencies in 4 years isn't a red flag then i don't know what is
  • @Shreeree441
    The way he spoke to her is something a PEACE office shouldn’t be speaking. What a joke! Hope he goes to cell block 1 Real justice would be served then
  • @jasonmilner679
    Illinois! This trainwreck of an officer shouldnt be able to get a job in law enforcement in ANY state @ any level.
  • @Mike-gc9ih
    They are doing nothing it's hard to find a psychopath to hire
  • 2 DUIs and the third is a felon how in the hell did they hire him embarrassing.
  • @ranman54
    The people responsible for hiring this guy definitely need to be held accountable
  • @d4mdcykey
    That man is a danger to society, lock him up...that's how it's supposed to work, correct?
  • @smulin01
    This is why they need to make the wearing of body cameras by ALL law enforcement officers mandatory. If it was not for the video footage, they would have fabricated a story to make her the aggressor. May God give the strength to her family and friends to go through these hard times. RIP. Sonya Massey...🙏🙏🙏

    See here's the thing - if you guys found all this stuff then they DO have the means to check it. They're SAYING they don't do to cover that thin blue line, but that doesn't mean they don't. You've already proven that they do. They just don't care.

    His whole demeanor and attitude was absolute garbage from the minute he got on her doorstep.
