Cop on tape admits to Quotas, Falsifying Charges, & Extorting the Poor

[Garion_55]

and he's a real shit head to boot.

“We don’t have a quota. We have expectations. And what that means is, you will make so many arrests a month, you should write so many tickets a month, and you should haul so many dumbasses to jail a month. If we’re gonna pay you $100,000 a year, we should expect something back from you, shouldn’t we?” says the officer.


The officer replies, “Yeah, but you know what? I’m the guy that can make that record look dirty.”

“You are a guy that’s gonna end up giving the city a lot of money,” says the officer explaining how the state aggressively pursues poor people to pay their exorbitant salaries.




The officer in the video has been identified as Glenn Ball. After this article went live, the Kennewick Police department issued a statement decrying the officer’s actions.

Summary of Incident: Kennewick, Wa. The Kennewick Police were made aware late last week of a video of one of our officers on a traffic stop interacting with the driver and passenger. One of the citizens present at the traffic stop was recording the officer.
Since being made aware of the video, the Kennewick Police Department initiated an internal investigation of the officer involved in the incident. The video was posted on social media and we have viewed the video The officer involved is positively identified as Glenn Ball.
He is a 21 year veteran of the Kennewick Police He is still on active duty during this investigation.
Based on what we have seen in the video, the officer’s comments are not consistent with our values and are not consistent with our expectations of how our officers should interact with the public.

and people wonder why americans more and more hate the cops more than the criminals.

1. Justices

would be for someone making 100K going to no job or pension.

[1StrongBlackMan]

6. No job, I'm okay with ...

even pursuing criminal charges; but, taking his pension? That would not be justice.

[tularetom]

12. Why not, the pension won't be of much use to him

when his ass is sitting in jail.

[1StrongBlackMan]

13. He, likely, won't/wouldn't be in jail for the rest of his life. n/t

[gregcrawford]

2. Yeah. Right.

"Based on what we have seen in the video, the officer’s comments are not consistent with our values and are not consistent with our expectations of how our officers should interact with the public."

We were born at night, but not LAST night! Assholes.

5. you took the words right off my keyboard

[rurallib]

7. my first reaction also

if that cop's attitude were out of alignment with his department's somebody would have seen it and changed it over 20+ years.

Nope, nice try PR department, but face it the cop reflects his department

[valerief]

10. And yet it doesn't matter. They'll go on doing this shit and go on saying, "Whoops, not us,"

when caught.

Plunder and whoops. Plunder and whoops.

That's what government is.

[KeepItReal]

3. See how the cop can take a moving violation and turn it into an arrest?

All over what he perceives as disrespect by these young people.

[zeemike]

4. Well he is telling the truth.

They have the power and can use it any way they want, and no one dares say no to them.
A perfect job for the authoritarian personality.

[VanillaRhapsody]

8. many of them are in the job for power

they want the ability to demand the public kiss their asses...they think they are somehow superior to everyone else...

[valerief]

9. You couldn't write a more ridiculous character than this corrupt bully. nt

[Dustlawyer]

11. Cops down here see this they are all moving up there!

Most here make $40-$60k a year, but they have the attitude to fit in. They had to pass a law that cities and municipalities can only recover up to a certain percentage of the city budget from traffic stops/tickets. We had one horse towns where the only cop they had would sit on the highway and pull over anyone going 1 or 2 miles over the speed limit. In Ames, Texas the officer there would ALWAYS be hiding somewhere along his 1 mile stretch of highway. The more he brought in, the more he made!

14. "Shut up and show some respect!" Physician, heal thyself...

I wonder if these guys might cringe if they saw themselves acting like this. I suppose if they have any inherent decency left, they might, but those who don't would be saying to themselves, "Yeah, boy! You go!"

Time to rethink our criminal justice system from the bottom up and the top down. It's broken.

[Snoopy 7]

15. Lucky

These kids are lucky they were not "BLACK" I don't think this cop would have been using "words" he would have been using handcuffs...

[midnight]

16. Kick

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. It's not just this little town called Kennewick. The entire system nationally is like this.

[Jefferson23]

18. An approach that is widespread..ugh. n/t

[rizlaplus]

19. Every police/incident report and arrest

this 'dumbass' police officer has filed or made should now be looked into.
