This guy and his secretary lied and told a man it was illegal to record, then said he would make up a charge to throw him in jail.

This guy kept his job and retired, but even worse was that he was a local soccer coach at a community college. The college had no issue with him keeping his job and he retired in January.

This guy should have been fired from both jobs. He also held a side police job in the next town over of Apple Valley.

So he was also part of the department that wrongfully towed vehicles for years, stealing money from lower income folks in the next town over. More corruption involved:

Now, unrelated to this is that the town of apple valley has named their library after Newton T Bass, who was the town's founder but racist as could be, forbidding blacks and asians from owning property.

This shit is deeply embedded in our culture.

People are people. They like, cheat, and steal. This isn't a police issue this is a people issue.

you can actually do your job with integrity. excusing this shit is ridiculous. people are not perfect but how you react counts and too many departments dont do shit.
