Like you can get flagged a dozen times for abuse of force and get IA reports generated on you for sexual assault and still be back on the job though frankly it's fucking insane you can just sit there and get paid to go home for a week.

    The police system in America really needs a serious overhaul. It's overdue if you have an out of date and don't even do basic background checks! Above all, there is no single federal system to do this. A bad cop can easily get a job with another county state: a very unsafe system. You need to administer basic personality tests to weed out the weirdos! The fact that half the man's application form was incomplete is a clear indication of how unwieldy the system is!

    I work in Healthcare and have seen hiring like this. Hiring people who are just after the money and don't care about the people in their care. I have reported abuse to the right overseeing department. They actually refused to order a machine that he needed to breathe ( a C-Pap). Without it if he was laid down flat for more than a minute he would turn blue. If it was any longer he would suffocate to death. Well some aide went in to change him and left him laying flat. He died because of the nurses and administration negligence. When I told DHEC the truth during the investigation meeting, I looked at my bosses and knew I would be fired over made up reasons. This is just one example. Just because someone has been employed does not mean they are qualified for it.

      I know a creepy psychopath in a position of power: Rachel Porter from Redwood Falls, MN, but now working ,
      if you can call it that, in Northfield, as an administrator of an assisted living.
      If a psychopath is clever enough, they can make positive and misleading impressions on people. The aforementioned Rachel Porter is simply a con woman, a sadistic betrayer of trusts, a pathological liar, a DARVO deploying perpetrator of abuse.
      She is a bad actor and a criminal who has not YET been convicted in a court of law, at least not for her con job and abuses at Valley View.
      It is like she exists for the sake of the cons she perpetrates, since I have seen her grin with glee, sadistic glee, a few times when she is abusing her power.
      Her intentions are evil, she is two-faced and hypocritical, cons the owner, cons some--at least--of the newer employees.
      She is very pathological, as well as pathogenic.
      She intentionally traumatizes people there for the sadistic thrill she gets by invalidating people.
      Sometimes a psychopath goes undetected in society, as do their crimes and abuses. Even psychiatrists are sometimes conned by their truly psychopathic patients. It can require a fairly long and close association to see them for what they actually are, sometimes.
      Evil intent, hypocrisy, selfishness, arrogance. . .malignancy power games.
      Puppeteering others. Misleading others and taking secret pleasure in doing so.
      Rachel Porter is a real nutball--a toxic, noxious nutball.
      Imo, the book should have been thrown at her long ago, for the sake of
      society and people's human and legal rights.
      Imo, justice would be served when she ends up in a long term secured residence for many years--such is the egregiousness of her predations. . .
      She runs a SCAM on everyone, through her pathological lying modus operandi and dom. tw-t personality.
      She is just a FRAUD without a conscience. . . self-serving AF.

    Love your videos doc, you have a great sense of humor, add that humor to your ad reads. The companies obviously dont care as i see other creators go crazy on reads. It would make them less robotic and like a hostage video. Love ya!

    Since the 2020 riots and "the de-fund the police" movement police departments across the country have had trouble finding new candidates and lost seasoned officers who chose to retire early. It is possible that was why Austin was pushed through the process. One of my kids is a recruiter for the military and they have had the same problem also.

      It's why it's so dangerous to let rotten apples stay, pushes out the quality and scares away good candidates. Happens in hospitals too. If word gets out it is a toxic environment they will forever be critically short staffed and desperate.
