What bothers me about the video is that he's being charged with what he did to another officer but no one comments on how he was speaking to the person that was arrested.

Turning off body cams should carry an immediate charge of "destroying evidence." Where's the 3 strikes on that?
isaidsomethingcool
Is demanding the other to switch iff their cameras illegal? If not, shouldnt it be?

Par 4 the course in S.FL. Sheriff, State Police and locals, it’s like a Mafia down here of ignorant white cops whose only goal is 2 bully.

Media groups have to use "allegedly" because if by some twisted stroke of luck he's found "not guilty" he can sue the fuck out of them.

other officers (perhaps caught off guard) practically not flinching. That guy needs to hear/accept feedback and work on himself cop or not

She's got more balls than any of those cowards there. Sergent needs to smoke a fatty and chill the fuck out.
Yakofalltrades
Well, put him down like a dog.

This is a good story. Body cams for the win.

Check on that female officer in a year or so and I'm betting she will either be dead or no longer an officer
ayayrontaco
He felt threatened!!!

Defuck the police
JeanClaudeVanDom
According to the article I read he is being charged with assaulting a civilian too
Hyzenthlay021
And tampering with evidence?
JeanClaudeVanDom
Yes I think he tried to delete something

Since Yahoo blocks countries including Canada from the video, here's the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aNtxvoBXR4

Seeing a "expert" excuse this as poor training, as it so often is, is goddamn infuriating. No amount of training fixes this person.

ACAB. No exceptions.

The officer who pulled him away from the suspect might be a good one
LerryV2
There is not good. Everyone is bad. /s
LocalUnassumingGuy
Or just wanted to make sure they didn't all end up on charges. I mean if you watch the video, right after he chokes her they say "let it be"

A cop attacking a female to show how big and strong he is...

"Grabbing"?
AnxiaTeaDD
Wow, he’s a real tough guy to a handcuffed person and a female police officer who is a 1/3 his size. He’s a psycho bully.
Cilvaa
Bullies with badges.
dandanthedrywallman
He’s wearing a cop uniform, so…yeah.

And not one of the male cops jumped in to assist her. Cowards.

people like that are completely emotionally unstable. its just a matter of time before they kill someone because they get too angry.
badbmc
Matter of time? Have you seen the news lately?
Nunyajonesinc
They probably kill people all the time
thatsbadmmkay
That's on purpose no matter how much the higher ups say it isn't.
CelestialSea
It's entitlement mostly. They don't NEED to control anger because they're shielded & only when this shit happens do they see consequences.

Men will literally become part of a violent police state instead of going to therapy

Therapy? That's for pussies! * Beats defenceless wife, screams at innocent kids *

That's probably why they became a cop.

"Everybody turn off your fucking cameras" was his immediate reaction.
idrinkcheapbeer
It's a split second but it looks like everyone in that particular portion of the video immediately reached for the body camera and complied.
JackieTreehornProductions
Which should be charged as destruction of evidence.
RCSpotz
Should be immediate termination
Frederf
"I never said fired."
thedarkcanuck
I'm a trucker and the company I work for has remote access dash cams in the trucks. Drivers can't turn off the camera, so why can the cops?
BBQatCirces
I'll grant that there's a difference between a camera in a vehicle and a camera on a person since a person can enter into sensitive 1/
RespectfullyDisagreee
Agree with the sentiment but *significant* difference in battery needs for body worn camera and truck mounted camera.
BBQatCirces
situations (like needing to use the bathroom). However, I think those instance should still be handled remotely. LEO needs to take a 2/
BBQatCirces
leak? Report that you need a personal break for X minutes and have the cam turned off remotely. Is there still room for abuse? Yep, but 3/
BBQatCirces
I still think it would be better than just letting them turn them off whenever they feel like it. 4/4

This phrase alone should be interpreted as an automatic admission of guilt.
BBQatCirces
Every. Single. Time.
mrthewhitee
Yup. You've got no defense for whatever happens next. It's premeditated as well imo cause you had the presence of mind to prevent evidence.
Nunyajonesinc
I don't understand why the fuck they have the option to turn them off
mohavewolfpup
Their union and lobbying efforts most likely. “What if I gotta use teh potty?”
zFUBARz
There are legitimate reasons, like helping vulnerable people, when just canvasing the neighbourhood. but getting permission to do it (1/2)
zFUBARz
should be an effort and if the reason doesn't match the situation later, then presumed as guilt. (2/2)

I disagree. Your hypothetical case should still be recorded. If nothing of consequence happened, it will be purged per retention policy
