Never shot an unarmed person, Never took bribes, perfect record
Thank you for your service sir, good luck on your retirement
Lmao police don’t take bribes 😂😂
Too soon......
Can’t have a perfect record for a career that never started lol

@@wesleytwiggs7687Shortest employment duration.
when my academy class graduated one guy had a graduation party put together that night by his friends and family, the party got loud, the police arrived, one of the graduates friends called the responding officers " pigs", the officers made a phone call to the graduates potential Captain to tell him about the incident, graduate was notified that he was fired...4 hours after graduating

Spot on! 😂😂😂
That happened to some dude that was supposed to be in my academy. He got the call that he was selected on Thursday, went out Friday night to celebrate, and got a DUI. We found out on Monday that he had gotten kicked out before the academy even started.
That happened to an old coworker. He got the letter and academy start date, got busted that night then got kicked out the academy before he started. That was one of two DUI’s he had
your classes are all stupid
@@gioruiz89 at least he didn't go through the work and time commitment like Officer Graduation.

And I bet he was only in it for the power, right? Nobody who puts their community in danger by drinking and driving has any intentions of serving and protecting. He woulda fallen right in with the corrupt pieces of shit that give cops a bad name.
Literally took the meaning of record breaking to the next level.
His career was short but full of spirit...
😂

Hard to get fired before your first day on the job. This guy was like challenge accepted.

I'm a former deputy sheriff and I had a BRUTAL academy. Guys from the SWAT team were our instructor staff. They beat the f out of us. 64 started, 32 graduated. I can't imagine going through all if that and getting fired/locked up before the first shift.
I know Leo,s that have 2 even 3 dui s. The trick is too get in trouble after your first year probation. Lol
Figuratively beat you guys? Can never tell with cops, swat especially.
Yeah, sure. What's all that laughter I hear in the distance...every Marine that ever went through Parris Island. I bet it was real tough. You probably had to run a whole half mile and do 10 push-ups and stuff, huh? 😂😂😂
Easiest 6 weeks of my life...
What, all 6-8 weeks of it? 😂. In the E.U and UK it’s 2-3 years of training, then 2 years of probation. To be an armed response officer (in the UK), it’s 12 additional months of training, and that’s after a MINIMUM of being in the job for 5 years with a clean record. And if you fail the course? Well, you can never be an armed response officer… at all. Ohhh and every 12 months you have to be recertified, which takes 2 weeks of practical, written and psychological testing; again, if you fail then you can’t be an armed response officer. So yeah, I bet your train was “brutal” 😂🤣☠️.
Guy forgot he has to wait until he clocks in before he starts breaking laws.
I dont think he was black, but nice try buddy.
Detached moment

Beautiful quote!
Good post.
Also a lot of random sh*t happens. Chance occurrences etc. Especially when alcohol is involved. And alcohol is socially acceptable to consume. Especially when celebrating life achievements or milestones. Many of us have driven under the influence (to some degree) but since we didn’t get caught we are better than those that do.
Does that make it right for this guy to drink and drive? No it does not but he wasn’t on the clock. What would be so wrong about letting him serve his time without further punishment? It’s ironic for a “correctional” institution to assume people cannot change.
@@orangedrone - Nope! As a police officer, he has to be held to a higher standard. If he is let off with a slap on the wrists, what message does that send to the rest of the population.
He knew better; they taught him better at the police academy. And now he showed that he was not actually fit for the job.
I feel bad for him and can't imagine what he is going through right now, but it's his own fault.
The one good thing about this incident is that maybe others will learn from it.
@@David_K_pi hopefully this is his "come to Jesus" moment. I've had a few of those myself. Actually it was literally Jesus who saved me. I dont think its too late for this man at all, he just has to keep walking with God, one day at a time and he will find redemption.
He celebrated his graduation really well. How unfortunate.. well, life goes on, you learn and you live
How did someone that out of shape pass the academy?
He's not out of shape just because he's got a round jawline lmao.
Fired on your day off??? PURE GOLD 😂😂😭

No!!! graduated the academy on Friday, got drunk and arrested on Saturday, for DUI ,after wreaking several cars, and fired before starting his first day on the job, which would of been Sunday!
Just graduated and immediately assumed he was above the law.
Likely, he was just a run of the mill alcoholic
LOL. I get your joke, but DUIs don't think they're above the law. They show bad judgment. He was celebrating his graduation with one too many beers and screwed up his life.

Neither will the internet

He was drunk. Unless you mean his character of being an alcoholic? But we don't know that from this single report.
He just graduated and celebrated his graduation by drinking too much and he’s driving under the influence. What a smart man! Thanks God he revealed himself earlier before he’s on duty. Imagine if we had a drunk driver wearing the uniform.
NO UNION PROTECTION EVERYTHING HE WORKED SO HARD FOR GONE LMAO
Good doesn't care so quit it
I’ve never known a cop to be drunk on duty, but I’ve known several that are major alcoholics off duty and drive drunk often.
But where are his friends or family that let him drive?
Look up Officer David Mascarella
Before anyone uses the “bad apple” excuse, the rest of his department helped cover up his drunk crash for him. That’s a rotten tree, just like Uvalde PD
Then look up “Cariol Horne”. They made a law after what happened with her
This happened in my hometown with a young man who landed his first position as a doctor at Kaiser. He went out to celebrate, got drunk, crashed his car while DUI on the way home, and he unfortunately ended up dying.
This is lowkey one of my biggest fears. Getting a decent job then losing it immediately.
Idk it's pretty easy to hold down a good job when you're not a total idiot like this guy was.
I feel for his family. What an embarrassment.
i feel for him too. I wonder if he's an alcoholic. Might be an assumption but sometimes it takes alcoholics to hit rock bottom and ruin their lives before they turn things around. Hope he gets his shi together
Yeah it's super embarrassing he got caught doing something we all do.
Maybe they hadn’t had a chance to have the celebration party.
Deport

Thsts the cleanest police career I've ever seen, he didnt violate a single person's rights while in uniform.
LOL! Too funny.

FANTASTIC! Glad he was fired and not allowed to quit. Now, if only all other law breaking 🐷s were treated the same.
im not even mad just honestly impressed he got fired before he even started
There sure are dumb people in this world, just went through all that schooling and training to be a policeman and gets fired on the first day , driving drunk. Wow. Glad no one got hurt.Very sad.
Not even the first day!!..😂😂😂 it's like buying a brand new car and totalling it before the paperwork is completely done😂😂
I knew this guy who got hired at the post office and was following his trainer on what would become his route. Immediately rear ended him while texting with his wife...fired on the spot 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
All he’s gotta do is lay low for a couple of months then move to and apply to be a cop out of some podunk town
Have to wonder how and if he was background checked. Texas and Wisconsin want to hire him!
He never got to his first day.
I graduated from a federal agency, and on the day of graduation, one of my female classmates, unholsters her duty weapon, flashing it around for a photo op with her family. She was fired the next day, as she should've been.
that can happen in the forest service
I just saw a video where apparently an officer was training people on the safety of guns walked away from them after a photoshoot turn pointed his gun and shot and killed one of the people.
Where's the video I saw cuts out but you see the moment he points the gun.
Horrible! And that was the TRAINER!
@@jerseyjoyride1316Yea, I saw that one too
Yep...
No she shouldn’t… if you know how to use firearms and know how to unload it properly a gun with no bullets in it is less dangerous than a baseball bat… should she be fired for holding a baseball bat too?
Our book keeper a freshly graduated and gorgeous puerto rican chick, was hired at my company, a 350 employee medical manufacturer company, on her first paycheck she went out to celebrate with her boyfriend and friends, got stopped by trooper police for speeding, they were intoxicated, got a DUI and also police found a few grams of illegal substances on the car and all of them were arrested. When she called HR manager on monday to request a loan to pay for her bail bond, she was terminated immediately.
So was a "No" on the loan?🤣
Oh man... that must have been one rough hangover the next day.
That’s impressive. It’s like in that episode of American Dad where Roger becomes a cop and he’s already taking bribes literally minutes after the graduation ceremony ends.
I like when brian the dog becomes an airport sniffer dog. 😂
Yes I know they're different shows but are they, really. Hailey's voice is in both of them😂😂 I think it's seth's sister.

No it isn't. They yanked a recruit out of my class for felony check fraud before we graduated. (1990s.....different agency).

After a full day of training at the Baltimore City Police Academy (back in 1974) just days before graduation, I stood at an open window and was looking outside. Suddenly I noticed a classmate standing to my rear with his service weapon pointed at my temple. He had a crazed look in his eyes. I calmly persuaded him to put the weapon down while others looked on in amazement. He then appeared to come out of his trance. Next day I reported the incident and he was immediately terminated. Prior to entering the Academy, he had completed service in the Vietnam War and was suffering from that experience.
He was not appropriate for the job.

I have a cousin who is a cop. Dude has a alcohol problem. Met his buddies which are all cops too. They all have an ego that comes out when they drink most people can’t tolerate it. I honestly try to avoid them as I’ve heard them talk about things that have disgusted me.
sounds like typical cops to me.
s5484 probably someone whose brother-in-law or whatever is a cop, so therefore all cops are good, upstanding people. Wrong.

He was charged with misdemeanor dui and First degree stupidity.
This makes me believe that it's too difficult to fire an officer for misconduct once they're on the force and in the union. With this guy, they took the opportunity to not wait and see what else he was capable of and just got rid of him since there was no union to fight for him just yet.
This guy was still on probationary status. Pretty much every police dept in the country will fire a rookie who gets arrested while they are still a probie.

Great job in losing your career and embarrassing the badge. You can dwell on it for the rest of your life at your old job. "What could have been." Every time you see an officer out in public, you can say to yourself, "That was my dream job. I had it, I graduated from the academy, and I was ready to serve." But then you will wake up and realize you really messed up. Literally threw away a career, benefits, camaraderie, and a nice nice nice pension.
shut up you idiot. you don’t know what this man went throw. You’re all quick to judge without knowing anything
Their pensions are that nice?
He just didn't make it long enough to fuck up and be covered. Plenty of cops out there flipping their cruisers drunk out of their minds and beating up innocent, polite people for no reason who don't receive a single charge. Hard to imagine that this cop is in the one county in America where the DA isn't on thr union's payroll.
He didn't throw nothing away, they'll hire convicted DUI cops here in my county. There's at least one working there now.
Relax
And you have to imagine how many officers like this are still on the force.
Plenty . Have to be high or intoxicated to do this job , what job you ask

He needs to take this and turn it into something positive, like return to school and become a bar tender.
He was partying so hard after graduation and he thought he could getaway from drinking and drive.

After throwing that all away, he now has a good reason to get drunk and act stupid. Mistake of a lifetime.
He is merely a reflection of all Police Officers.
This speaks more to the Academy's selection process.
They are trained and get pay to to protect and serve the public and to enforce the law . Excellent job by the Chief to fired him.
According to the Court, they have "NO DUTY TO PROTECT" anyone. We are on our own, and you have a "DUTY TO PROTECT" yourself and your family. Warren v. District of Columbia... The trial judges held, "that the police were under no specific legal duty to provide protection."
“Protect and Serve” was made up by a PR team.
They literally aren't and don't do any of that. Tell me you have your head in the sand.

This is the quickest speedrun of getting fired I've seen.
Getting fired before your first shift is insane 😭
He went to a graduation party sanctioned by his graduating academy class. He is a victim
Crazy thing I was told in the academy by my instructor was the sheer number of officers fired after graduation but before work. Cadets graduate and go out drinking to celebrate, get DUIs and are fired. This is a very frequent thing apparently . lol

His career will always be remembered.
You know exactly how this happened, too. Guy probably out celebrating his graduation, got drunk, made the big mistake of trying to drive home, and now he's paying for it. Remember kids, never go out drinking somewhere that is too far to walk home or without a plan to get home. Dude is just lucky parked cars are all he hit.
With how easy and cheap it is today to call an Uber or Lyft, there is no excuse to drive drunk. Just leave your car and pick it up the next day. Most rides across town cost like $20 to $30 bucks with tip. People spend that much on 2 drinks nowadays.
@@SilencedByUA-camis not cheap for some of us out here. At this point in my life $30.00 is like $500. My 10 year old son and I recently lost everything to a house fire so $30 would be a blessing right about now. At least that would make for some kind of Christmas
Kids shouldn't go out drinking it's illegal.....Naked owl 🤡🤡🤡
All his fellow cop buddies allowed him to drive drunk.
@beepbop6697 I mean, we don't know that. No idea who was with him that night or what transpired, just that he drove drunk and got the consequences deserving of it.
