    The worst part about this case was Jeffrey had a dead body in his bedroom when the cops went into his apartment to bring the boy back.Just awful
  • @roc2028
    As horrible as the Dhamer tragedy was this was probably the most heartbreaking. Incompetent police resulted in more deaths 😢
  • The fact these officers were rehired and back paid $55,000 and worked for the organization until 2017 is disgusting complete incompetence
  • If the victim was in that bad of shape, which he was, those police officers should have called an ambulance on that young man's behalf! He may still be alive today, and other victims as well. Smh. Makes me sad.
  • What the actual heck. Even if he were 19, still not of legal age to drink. He was naked on the street! Even if he were actually drunk, why wasn't he taken into custody?! Why wasn't Dahmer taken for underage drinking also and supplying alcohol to a minor.
  • His neighbor complained about smells coming from his apartment, And he went to the apartment and didn’t smell anything ,yeah right!
  • @faffinoodle
    Balcerzak reeks of arrogance. Such a liar, trying to save his own hide because he knew they did wrong.
  • @Jelaniwaters
    Its not incompetence , they just plain didn’t Give a F**k
  • @HELIOSXXI
    “Naked man and badly beaten” and you STILL LET HIM GO WITH DAHMER why???
  • Roommate???? This was a 14 year old BOY!!!!! NOT A MAN. This totally incompetent excuse for a police officer should have been fired and lost his pension. Insane that he was able to keep this job.
  • @kymfjohnson1
    That poor young man's blood is on those cops hands. The cop doesn't even seem remorseful at all. Very hard to look at without being emotional. 😡🤬😢😥
  • He’s so arrogant for a man who blatantly disregarded the multiple complaint calls.
  • @zakkxx1
    They are also murderers. Totally defiled their profession. Shame on them! They saw a young Asian boy they labeled as gay with an older blond guy so they totally dismissed him! So outrageous.
  • I’m sorry, but charges need to be brought up on the officers who ignored the signs that child was in distress.
  • This is one of the clowns that helped Dahmer lead his 14 year old victim back to his apartment. I hope he’s spent the last few decades losing sleep over how he contributed to the murder of that child and the other men that Dahmer killed because of his negligence in thoroughly investigating this situation. Shame on all of these officers.
  • @justyna365
    Asian man, oriental man? What about some respect and call him by his name! Also it was a child!
  • I was 22 when this happened.I remember being so disturbed by the fact the ball was dropped sooo many times, molestation charges against Dahmer against this boys brother,Dahmer serving probation for it still when he murdered this young man.....years later it still hurts to think of these victims and their families.Pray for their peace.
