I'm in no way trying to justify this power-tripping jerk's actions, but...
Was Harless soliciting prostitutes at the time, or what? __________________________________________________________________ Cross-platform gun database/electronic bound book (v1.2) (and the original thread). «nolite confidere in principibus, in filiis hominum quibus non est salus» |

Quoted:
My prediction? He'll get hired by another PD within a month. Never could understand that. In corrections you are usually blackballed if you are fired. At least if they know you were fired. They hardly ever hire someone that has been fired from another corrections dept. |

If the ccw holder was or was not soliciting has no bearinv on the actions of the ex-police officer. If you have watchedthe original video you may remember that the ccw holder tried on several occasskons to state he was carrying and was told in no uncertain terms to stfu or violence would be visited upon him..... |

Quoted:
Wait! WAIT! WE HAVE TO GET BOTH SIDES OF THE STORYYYYyyyyyyyyyyy... We had both sides. We had video. Pretty much everybody called it as a dude who didn't need to be on the street because he sucked at tactics and instead of being mad at himself for being an epic douchebag and overall shitty cop, he decided to take it out on the guy with the permit. |

Not good enough. There must be outrage and fingerpointing at computer monitors and whispering of "that's right motherfucker" to no one in particular. |

Quoted:
My prediction? He'll get hired by another PD within a month. Not likely, since he's claiming a medical disability (PTSD). If the do manage to fire him, no department is going to touch him with a 10 foot pole because of that. ETA: he's appealing the decision, so the fat lady hasn't sung yet... |

I wonder under what conditions he got PTSD. They keep saying he's had it for 8 years but not what caused it, like a shooting or something. I mean if I was a cop in Canton I'd probably get PTSD about 30 seconds after they pinned the little badge on my chest, but I'm not sure about this guys story really. |

The article I read mentioned that he had been in an incident where a suspect was grabbing his gun and had almost bitten his finger off. Or the former officer could just be an asshole. Quoted:
I don't think guys diagnosed with PTSD should be in high stress jobs like LE work. JMO. 100% agreed. It's not good for the employee (officer) or the customer (public). |

Not very good at reading this morning I guess. |
Harless is a fucking scumbag.

As in the other threads that I remember participating in, no professional law enforcement officer would justify this person's behavior. This guy was a douche and was way out of line on more than a few occasions. This video series (he was caught several times) was very famous and I doubt he'll be rehired anytime soon. Too bad the internal investigation took so long. No officer or deputy I know supports his actions. He can go flip burgers somewhere. Maybe a down and out security firm will hire him to patrol Walmart parking lots if he's lucky.

Considerations should be made! Carrying a gun and using authority over others are huge responsibilities. If someone can't hack it, no matter the reason, they have NO BUSINESS doing it. |

Why are you rolling your eyes at that? Nearly getting your finger bitten off while fighting for your life might have an impact on somebody. I don't think that's illegitimate. Wait... let me guess... you're too tough for that "PTSD crap." ETA: or are you saying he shouldn't be working if that's the case? Because I've gotta be honest... that finger-biting day is probably etched into his memory pretty deeply. I've seen people have psychological problems over less. |

If this guy had PTSD, he needed to see the crisis team and get help. Every agency has them. We even have full fledged doctors working for us to assist. He fucked up, it was a pattern of behavior and no future LEA would be willing to hire him out of liability concerns. You should have gotten help way before this point.

| Its about time people be held accountable. I personally believe that assholes happen in all walks of life. Some times they happen to get jobs in law enforcement. Thoose persons clearly do more harm than good. An interaction with a true professional can change opinions in entire communitys over a long period of time. One non professional who acts in such a way can burn bridges for decades. |

Rouge-Sasquatch got confused and thought this was a cop bashing thread... |
