Refusing to violate citizen rights instead of blinding following orders of the city? A cop doing this? Of course he got fired! We need more citizen checks and balances on our government by the citizens
There seems to be a lot of boucing the story from one person to another, with no one seeming to know anything that's going on. I've never seen people shake in their boots so before in my life! Get 'em Jody!
Never should a government council be allowed to convene behind closed doors. Furthermore they should be video/audio recorded and available to the general public for view at any time. Anything less is not transparency.
When a person is King of a town about the size of the date on a dime, he/she can do as they dern well please. It's the old tale of the Big Fish in a small pond.
That administrator is clearly corrupt. The chief investigated a judge’s relative dropped DUI charge and refused to indulge in cronyism. The mayor and council are running from accountability
Thank you Jody for being one of the few, like this police Chief, who has honor, morals and values. That has been lost in public life for a very long time.
This is the exact type of chief needed in every town across America. The citizens of this town should stand up to that corrupt city council and demand their resignations
For what I'm seeing the chief is holding himself to a higher standard and honoring his oath of service to the letter of Law and being transparent about it.
His deputy hit and killed 2 teenage girls on their way to school. The chief stood behind his deputy, and took up for him. The deputy “forgot his coffee cup at home” and decided he needed to drive 82 miles per hour back home with no lights or sirens. Yea this chief is really holding up a higher standard banner for all of law enforcement. He sounds like a real stand up guy, a real man of his word and standards that not many will ever reach. If this is the type of chief that your town needs I pray you don’t have many loved ones on the road in that town but if you do may god bless you.
They have a chief that knows the constitution and is willing to uphold it unlike the mayor. This is absolutely disgusting. If he had just licked the mayor’s boots, he wouldn’t have any worries. I’m sure he could have been a complete thug to citizens and the mayor and council would have had his back.
@@Taffy044 Doesn't matter how soft he speaks. I am dead on target. Didn't even have to dig. It is not his job to hinder the free travel of his employers, without probable cause of a crime, to make revenue. How does it feel to be 100% incorrect?
I transplanted away from SC for lots reasons, but the corruption of small town government was one of many. How can you trust the law of the land when all the city employees are related and looking out for each other?
Yes there are good people in law enforcement but. I speak as some one who lives in SC in this state it is truly rare to find a public servant who will do what is truly morally right Even in the particular county I live in We have... ... ... 1. Corrupt judges (who will let those on their death beds be thrown from there homes on another's word) 2. Corrupt cops who (will know) from past encounters when a subject is lying and because of either who they personally know or are related to the cops run like cowards 3. Corrupt hiring standards (let me explain) I tried to get a law enforcement officer's job here in SC and I think one of the people who worked in the front lobby of the PD either was aware of who I was or my family ties so I didn't have any chance of getting hired and I applied almost 18 times 4. No oversight of how our police agencies are being both ran and how the standards are (if at all) being applied and or maintained In short any government officials here is SC really hate it when they're actions are brought into question on any level and ALL OF THE POLITICIANS hate not being able to abuse there authority against any other officials they see as both competitors and outright threats to there continued re elections. 6:11
I want to say great reporting. I hope that is what this is because this crime needs to be told to the public. The voters need to know. Thanks for posting
Any payouts need to come from the council and the administrator personally. They tried to do a hit job on the police chief and are getting exposed. The citizens shouldn't have to pay for their vendetta.
Whenever a cop violates civil rights, unlawfully arrests someone, excessive force, and is sued. Guess what!!! The tax payer pays for it! Instead of the corrupt officer or officers!
The citizens got what they voted for. I don’t have any problems for them paying for the behavior of their employees, just like any employer. You don’t want to be responsible for the costs, don’t vote for idiots. Don’t hire unqualified people. Don’t hire vindictive assholes. You get what you vote for.
Government wonders why policing has such a bad reputation? This is why there are no good officers in policing. If you’re willing to be transparent and accountable to the people they will punish or get rid of you. Thank you Jody Barr.
The government doest wonder about that, they are the ones doing it. Do you know government means? Ridiculous this comment has any upvotes. It just shows how naive the public is.

A police officer of 23 years who has no complaints is amazing. I wish he was the Chief of Police in my town. I hope the good people take a stand and get rid of these officials who show every sign of being corrupt.
When Mr. Jodi Barr comes a knocking, you better have your ducks in a row and not fumble the ball as the elected Mayor did. Sir, you sound like a bafoon and you are clearly being led around by your nose by your city administrator. This looks like Chief is not playing ball and is being penalized for it.
You know how difficult is to find a decent cop let alone a great one????!!!!!! AND THEY WANT TO GET RID OF HIM !!!!!!! . This corrupted S.O.B'S. Jesus christ it makes my blood boil.
Jody , why is it that local tv station reporters do not look into local political corruption n nepotism in a local level?? We all know it’s there but local news always shy on reporting !
Wanting the fruits is why they have those positions. Wonder if they are corrupt or just want to flex their authority? When people get these positions they get the mindset of knowing things which turns to all-knowing. Leading to they know what is better for the city than others. They feel like the local government should blindly allow them to do what they want.
This sounds like the city was breaking the Sunshine Law and this chief did not go along with it. This is what happens when you work for criminals, you become a criminal or you are fired.
So he respected the citizens constitutional right to be in the public meeting and so therefore the council wants to get rid of him? So you’re telling me there’s an actual police chief who actually honors his oath to the Constitution?
This is outrageous. Seems when civil servants are bad and commit corruption they're praised for it and hardly disciplined for their actions. And this poor civil servant who is one of the few good officers we have is getting railroaded for doing thing by the books. Seems like they should be investigating the judge his family member the arresting officer and the board
Wow one of the few police departments that has few youtube videos about the police and he is under attack We need to call city hall and tell them to keep this man bennettsville sc police
This administrator is breaking the law period! Look at the state constitution, they are violating the fundamental law, the supreme, highest law in the state is the state constitution!! They both swore an oath to obey, uphold, honor that constitution!!
As an employee who has faced retaliation and bullying for simply doing my job, I stand in solidarity with my fellow employee in this case. I have successfully sued employers twice, and my experiences have shown me that many employers behave predictably. It's crucial to document every incident meticulously, using the appropriate legal terminology in your complaints to make them official. Be prepared for retaliation, as it's a common response, and you can use this to strengthen your case. Meanwhile, seek other opportunities, save all relevant emails, and record interactions if it's legal in your state. If I'm on the jury, I will fight for justice. Many hope for the downfall of certain individuals, but here, I see an employee enduring what many of us have faced. A drop in evaluation from over 8.0 to 2.9 is highly suspicious. Make it make sense.
Correction plain and simple corruption. How can that city administrator on one side claim that the chief is unworthy but at the same time have wanted him to give a letter of support for his fraternity brother to be chief of police of some of the city. A man that was described as I’m qualified for the job?
Of this whole thing - the Administrator and especially that Mayor.... To take such steps to destroy a man's career and have absolutely nothing to say for yourself when confronted - is despicable!!! Over a judges son in law - they should all be brought up on corruption charges and this is literally what racketeering charges were designed for (as they were working in lock step w one another for a soul goal).
They total retaliated towards him for talking to a reporter. This is the type of government behavior shouldn’t be allowed the hide everything from the public view.
He will win the lawsuit. The got no cause. 2.9 my toucas. What a joke these politicians are. Too bad the settlement won't come out of their pockets. This interview helps the chief exponentially,
I instinctively distrust police, but the council telling him he wasn't allowed to talk to the media immediately shows who the corrupt ones are. Blatant violation of his first ammendment rights.
Imagine this ,,,,,, a police chief not this chief lies and manufactures lies and false charges on an innocent person and sends that person to jail for 20 years
Sounds like this Police Chief needs to start an investigation of these political operators, starting with the city administrator. I'm going out on a limb here but this is really a severe response to the chief, so I am figuring this set of politicians are in fact committing crimes, serious severe crimes, they have a new chief that will not "play ball" and the criminals in the city offices want him gone so they not only don't get caught in their grift, but can continue to steal. Think Dolton people, you really think that is an anomaly? This is FAR more common than anyone is willing to admit.
Looks like the Chief isn't willing to 'go along' with their system of 'self help'. They are helping themselves to a lot of 'perks' the Chief won't abide, so they get rid of him. This happens a lot in any kind of 'business'. Force out the good ones so the bad ones can do what they want.
So look at what was done to the Chief in this instance and then in the next breath tell me that you can expect a fair trial when you contest a traffic violation when the Chief, Judge, Mayor, City Administrator and Clerk are all conspiring against you. Don't worry though they'll investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing.
So, let me get this straight, the Chief was given a terrible evaluation by the Administrator AFTER the Administrator asked the Chief to write a recommendation for the Administrator's fraternity brother? I thought you only asked for a recommendation from someone who is well-respected, not from someone who is performing poorly in their job. Well, Mr. Obvious, the Administrator's thinking changed after the Chief refused to lie for the Administrator and the Administrator got angry and chose to retaliate. What a puppet of a Mayor they have in Bennettsville. (Isn't this the same Administrator who failed to keep track of the ARPA spending and then had to cook the books later?)

@@theturkish180 well..... he didn't really save the city from civil litigation, because he's suing them now, and rightfully so might I add.
Lawfare
Looks like the city counsel is corrupt and the Chief won’t tolerate it. Kicking out the public from a public meeting, that’s unlawful in most states.
Never should a government council be allowed to convene behind closed doors.

Sounds like Utah. Everybody in public service is seemingly related.
Every now and then we witness a good cop and we also witness what the system does to them.
A chief that won't play the game with corrupt politicians, judges , and prosecutors. So surprising coming from South Carolina.

The facial expression on the mayor shows that he knows he messed up. Shame on these people for defaming this honest chief, God bless and protect him
Did he follow the constitution and his subordinates felt he was limiting their bullying?
