Brent Raban no longer patrols the streets of Belle Glade as a sergeant with the sheriff's office after his superiors learned he was posting messages bragging about how he beat up people he arrested, according to internal documents obtained by WPBF News 25 on Tuesday.

Internal Affairs investigators said Raban's Facebook page included comments that said, "It's not crime fighting. It's dealing out punishment."

Following an arrest in which a suspect was roughed up, investigators said, Raban posted, "But like a good batterer, I know the areas that hide the marks well."

Raban was demoted to deputy sheriff and two deputies who worked with him lost their jobs.

Why just a demotion and why did the other 2 deputies lose their jobs? Did they cover for him or were they involved?
