Maybe Harless should charge Police Chief Dean McKimm with wiretapping.

Harless is such a slimeball... I've mentioned it before, but man I really hate this guy!

"December 7th...a date which will live...in infamy..."

:)

Sorry. Had to go there.

Threatening to kill citizens who posed no threat to him at least three times? Bare minimum, he should be fired immediately. His conduct would be considered unprofessional even if they'd all whipped out pistols against him, and is grossly so because of the innocence of those whom he's threatened.

Yeah... if a citizen, while armed, said to another citizen "if you scratch you balls wrong, I’m going to pull my gun and I am going to shoot you,” I'd expect them to be arrested for menacing, assault, or something similar. It would certainly put fear for my life and safety if someone did that to me.

If a citizen did it 3 times, I'd demand it.

But, when the citizen wears a blue suit and a gold-plated pin, all of a sudden it's potentially OK?

If Harliss isn't put on trial for his actions, it's a good example of the "laws for YOU are different from laws for ME" attitude of law enforcement. And a good reason for the citizens of Canton, Ohio, to mistrust their police force even more.

What do you expect from morons with single digit I.Q.'s. They were called PIGS in the sixties for a reason. But as a society it is our responsibility to demand more professionalism and respect from our public servants, until then don't be surprised by these MORONS.

This is a great reason to abolish police departments. Let's replace them with nothing. Private individuals can handle their own security needs by themselves or by hiring private security companies. I know for a fact if a private security guard behaved in this manner, he would be fired immediately

There are individuals who get excited by being cruel to others. They could find other ways to get their thrills, but becoming a cop makes their life a pleasure cruise. :(

The lesson here is how important it is for us citizens to video record police interactions and publicize wrongdoing as widely as possible. When people are shown the truth, they react and real change can happen (such the firing of a douche bag like Harless). If we stop shining the light even for a moment, the status quo will return.

I think JL and Bart should attend the hearing and defend this guy.

He is really inflammatory and doesn't get any results. Well that's not exactly true, he pisses people off all the time, that's the result he gets.

Time to find a new line of work. Maybe in shipping where you only deal with cardboard.

This guy is a moron and a loose cannon. He needs to lose his job. There is a time and place for making threats but he just seems to love to threaten to shoot people.

Hopefully they will get rid of him.

Not only does he need to lose his job, but he needs to be prosecuted just like every other civilian would if they made death threats.

Just curious, when exactly is the proper time and place for an officer to make threats?

Perhaps the only way to get this potential killer off of the street is to get pulled over by him and when he threatens to kill you --- kill him instead.

What do you think he would do if things were reversed?

The "legal" system will never dispense any justice for this scum bag. We all know that. Justice will only come from us... the sovereigns.

This thug was argumentative and confrontational from the very beginning of the "stop". He went over the line well before his threats. By abusing the public trust as he did, I would not be surprised if someone puts him in his "grave" (his word). Disgusting...

I can't believe 18 IA's and he isn't a problem. That's a loose cannon and a lawsuit waiting to happen. He is either related to someone or has something on someone.

Sounds like he is one of those kids who grew up and was always bullied. So, to get even he goes into LE. That way, with the power of the badge, he can be the bully.

One day someone is going to remind him that the badge is just a piece of tin on a shirt. It doesn't act as a shield to physically protect you. Obvioulsy Harless has not learned this!

first things first, the people pulled over did not assert their rights, they willfully ceded them of there own free will. They did not know there rights therefore they did not have them. SO the first problem here is the people.Did they file a complaint? Did they record the encounter.

So they get what they get. A sociopath with a gun and a badge in my opinion.

Because the people are too dam lazy to even properly educate themselves as to what there rights are. How to properly assert them peacefully with common sense. The Servants in charge do not have any problems with sociopaths threatening to kill, until it goes viral. Viral enough to reach enough people who actually know there rights and who have had enough.
The Sociopath cop is a symptom of a lazy uneducated population.

Here, Folks, send the City Council your thoughts:

Mr. Schulman is a lawyer, and pres. of the council, and is defending Officer Harless, and attacking the sanity of concealed carry. Feel free to give him as much scatological upbraiding as you feel necessary.

Johnny Law,

Just curious, when will be the right time for citizent to make a threat to LEO?

That's been asked and answered twice already. Try reading the comments before you post.
