In unclassified memos, The DOJ , sets an actual guideline, to target lower IQ Humans , to become cops, with the mindset, they are more prone to following orders without questioning the person, giving orders. Similar to the DOJ financed show, from the 90s, "Cops." Show was mostly produced to make the public , submit to police. Ppl need to question motives.

That power I'm referring to is your phone. Your phone and words om UA-cam, dont make who younarr as a person. Well, words do some what. If going thru and checking ppls grammar , does, then u have the right one baby! I own two companies, help my community DAILY and love life. I dont have to get on UA-cam, check ppls grammar, abbreviations, etc., harp on them , just to make myself feel better.

@@georgehawkins858 that's my point. Just the fact they have the chance is completely incomprehensible. We wouldn't give child molesters another chance around kids.

I want to talk with him because I had a trooper lie and said he gave me a ticket but he didn't I found out through my insurance that he gave me a ticket when he said know body was at fault I was hit by someone else.
When I went to Radar school which was 40 hours. You had no online exam. Every test was in a classroom on paper with the instructors constantly looking at every student’s performance . In Radar school you learned the use of Radar the law and courtroom testimony. This is a total embarrassment for the Georgia Patrol.
Only an embarrassment if there were no consequences to the cheating (looking the other way or hiding it). Georgia Patrol did the right thing by firing the troopers. No embarrassment in doing the right thing and making it public
James Velvet Oh Col McDonough is pissed yes but there has to be some embarrassment there. I believe he saw no other alternative action in order to maintain the integrity of the department.
Some of this doesn't add up. A "civilian" was able to pass a test that required 7 months of class, who by definition as a civilian couldn't take the class, yet the two studs of the class failed? And the ENTIRE class cheated?
That particular test isn't very hard. They didn't cheat because it was a hard test they cheated because they didn't want to take the time to take the test.
For me the most worrying aspect of this is that out of an original class of 33 cadets, 30 were willingly prepared to cheat. The issue is not that the online method of examination enabled them to do so, but that dishonesty was already inherent within virtually all of them. For law enforcement in general this should be an extremely concerning indicator.
DopeAMean Your reply is a complete symbol of what is wrong with society which by the way leads to this type of behavior. So does that mean you are also part of the problem? Yes, clearly. Stupid leftist propaganda has eaten away with moral and upstanding thinking and behavior. No God, no judgement, no rules, do what you want. Why even the U.S. Constitution is a “living” document, able to be changed in a whim as to what it means. It really does not advocate for freedom of speech, especially if I don’t like what you said! Why that must be Hate Speech! (No such animal). Absolute rubbish. Add to that the idea everything that goes wrong in some one’s life is because of somebody else’s fault and based on the color if their skin. Nothing is due to their own actions. So I wonder if you like playing or doing anything that has rules and in the middle of the game the rules are changed just so you lose and the other side wins? Cool thought eh? Love how America and western civilization is falling into this lazy mentality.
maddad621 The fact that your so offended makes me understand; in your heart, you know I’m right. Instead of ask why I feel the way I do, a sentiment that would actually require you to care. You chose to go on a character assault, biased on your opinions of my opinion, infringing upon my constitution rights to freedom of speech, that I happily served to protect. That my fellow citizen, is what’s wrong with America. No civil rights bill can change the heart of a people. The Bible says “ out of the abundance of a mans heart, the mouth speaks.”
@@DopeAMean So do you hate white people and believe only minorities don't cheat...or do you believe that the minorities cheated but not held accountable?
Vicky Lawrence First, I don’t hate anyone. Second, I’m not saying minorities don’t cheat. What I’m saying is minorities don’t cheat in groups as largest 30. What I’m also saying is that anytime white people are getting an advantage they don’t include minorities. My conversation isn’t about race it’s about social habits. My other asportation, If 30 minorities cheated and it made the news they would make sure you knew that minorities did it.
I have never ever seen any online test taken at any level of government service that wasn't 100% Googled or otherwise cheated on. EVER, the atitude is if the information is of such a low priority that they don't want a salaried government employee to give the training or the test the material being taught isn't a high priority. OMG it was a take home online exam the lowest of the low bar for testing! This is like the old school tests with the answers printed in the back of the book but bont look ROFL!

It’s not just the $50k for the investigation. It’s the recruiting costs and training costs and salaries for the cadets and instructors over at least seven months. North of $1m for sure.
@Just Sarah Wow, you are dumb. UCMJ has no bearing over a non title 10 (reservist) regarding civilian employment. What do you have against people who have done something with their lives? You're a worthless mess.
There is supposed to be integrity and honesty in Law Enforcement. We all know that's not true anymore. Bruise a cop's ego and your in for a really hard time. Maybe a beating for "resisting" + a zillion other charges. They don't have to stick, it just that have you in their control and cost you a lot of money for court.
This is the sort of decisive action which puts credibility and professionalism back into policing. Honest, transparent actions restore public confidence in police forces. We don't expect cops to be perfect, but we do expect them to be honest and professional. Tip of the hat to you, Colonel.
Mark Mcdonough is the perfect guy to be handing this (based on watching this video). He has a great attitude and extremely patient and most importantly Honest. Very impressed.!
This person has done his homework and is answering the questions very well. Good job with getting on the situation and doing a complete and full investigation.
MEC4LIFE Smiley you need more reading and listening comprehension skill courses he over 5 times that this was an online exam which means derived from the computer. If you can fill charges on a computer & get a conviction I will like to meet you. With that being said we will never meet.
As a citizen, it is refreshing and reassuring to see a law-enforcement official using words like integrity and values and meeting them. I am sorry for these individuals, but I think this was a big step for the Georgia patrol, and needs to be modeled nationwide.
An entire class cheated. This absolutely shows where the hiring practices of the police has taken itself. And also the calibre of today's police officers.
Col. McDonough, I am sorry you were betrayed by an entire class. I congratulate you on the swift action in resolving this matter. Moving forward, YOU sir are NOT responsible for another individuals actions. You cannot control someone's actions and you certainly have proven what YOU stand for. YOUR control strictly involves what the outcome of their actions would be and to that, you Sir have handled this brilliantly, maintaining the core values the GA. State Troopers stand for, while at the same time keeping public interest as the main priority! Well done Sir. To cheat in earning a law enforcement badge, I cannot imagine how much any one of those troopers WOULD HAVE cheated the citizens, and they absolutely would have, had they NOT been caught. An entire class of dishonest trainees who lacked the main core value of character & integrity. Complete disappointment.

If an entire class was able to cheat a couple of things come to mind. #1- Its happened before, an entire class doesnt cheat unless they know they can get away with it and know that it will be ok. #2- Will they investigate the other recent graduating classes. #3- How far up did it go, we can assume the instructor was in on it but who past him was involved. #4- Do they expect to fire the other two cadets, their on leave but do they expect to be terminated upon return from leave. #5- Every citizen that has received a ticket from one of these 30 officers, potentially 33 officers now have a case to sue the state and argue they were ticketed improperly for speeding by someone who wasn't actually certified on radar equipment and infact cheated to graduate and how is the state preparing to deal with a potentially massive class action lawsuit or a thousand individual cases?
Valid questions and Re #5, this has been touched on in an article in our city paper, the AJC, stating that their cases are all in jeopardy of being tossed.
Makes you wonder how many decades this has been going on. My guess is almost forever. The gentleman was very informative and certainly takes his job seriously.
The larger issue is as a police officer you have to be able to do the correct thing even when you are not being watched. They should have been fired. This on the post makes extremely difficult to get hired elsewhere.
@@2777green Understood and agree with your comment. The Colonel was asked how they would correct it. My response was to that end. A simple correction that doesn't change the entire design of the course. The only thing changed is the testing phase, which is of minimal impact to the current program design.
A proper investigation would also include determining WHERE ELSE cheating has occurred and taking appropriate action. A scandal this large with MULTIPLE methods of cheating suggests SYSTEMIC FAILURES of leadership, and a much larger problem than merely one class of “bad apples.”
They already had the job. This test was to get certified in only one area of their job duties. This isn't sad. It's maddening! This is a prime example of the failure of law enforcement agencies to properly screen potential hires for morals, integrity, and psychological well being. These cheaters represent what's happening all over our country. Think about it. It makes me angry and frustrated, and very frightened.
It is an entitlement that the police all seem to believe they just these people ran into a boss who stood up although the rat might have acted if he didn’t so I wouldn’t give his too much respect for it.

I went to high school with Mark. Knowing him as I do, this is something that he would never stand for. Kudos Colonel for your swift and decisive action.
He seems to be a man of integrity. Too bad he is not in Washington, DC.
Good to hear that he's a good guy... Beyond being where the buck stops.
Urbicide Ha! He wouldn’t put up with the bs. His head would probably explode.
Well since you went to high school with him why don't you tell him for the rest of us that he looks like a goddamn dictator of a third world country dressed up in all that military garbage he has on
I’m not “gung-ho” about police in any fashion but I respect this Colonel. He’s totally transparent and respects all the reporters. True leader. Much respect.
I can sense the unbridled rage in his speech. This is a believes in integrity, and this dishonest act that occurred, he is sees it as a personal insult to him. Cheaters never prosper.
He probably has been praying to clean up things
and this is why we have idiot cops on duty country wide. these guys happen to get caught. how many more did not get caught.
In unclassified memos, The DOJ , sets an actual guideline, to target lower IQ Humans , to become cops, with the mindset, they are more prone to following orders without questioning the person, giving orders. Similar to the DOJ financed show, from the 90s, "Cops." Show was mostly produced to make the public , submit to police. Ppl need to question motives.

I'm actually replying to another lady on UA-cam with a Similar IQ as you. With that said , I see you're a drummer.

Ya know, its ppl like you, that are bullied and just quite dont have the intelligence to make something of themselves, so they go to the thing that gives them power. That power I'm referring to is your phone. Your phone and words om UA-cam, dont make who younarr as a person. Well, words do some what. If going thru and checking ppls grammar , does, then u have the right one baby! I own two companies, help my community DAILY and love life. I dont have to get on UA-cam, check ppls grammar, abbreviations, etc., harp on them , just to make myself feel better. If that's how you choose to live , then that's drummer boy Jacobs decision or whatever your name is.

They might get a second chance. The people they lie about don't get a second chance. The insurance companies don't give a second chance when a cop says you were speeding no matter if they lied or not. The people don't get a second chance if a cop lies in court. The public doesn't get a second chance neither should cops
What second chance? They were all fired for cheating and being fired for cheating will not allow them to be hired by any other department.
@@georgehawkins858 you obviously didn't listen to his news press conference where the commander actually said they will be able to get hired with another department just not ga state patrol
@@screwyou30 Only thing I head was at 13:30 they asked this very question and he said this cheating would become part of their law enforcement certification file. Nothing about getting hired with another agency. I guess anything is possible but I don't see another department picking any of them up.
Ok 25:50 he said 2nd chance but that's messed up if some one is dumb enough to hire them!
@@georgehawkins858 that's my point. Just the fact they have the chance is completely incomprehensible. We wouldn't give child molesters another chance around kids. They have way to much power to affect people's lives as it is. Abuse of power and corruption is overwhelming in the profession as it is. Let alone have ones who have done it encouraged or participated in something like this to ever have any type of control over others ever again
Cheating is so widespread by these cops. I'm sure that this happened before in prior classes.
I wanted someone in the press to ask the policeman on camera if he cheated in his test
To all those claiming that cops hired these days are low IQ, your claim has been validated. Couldn't pass an online exam...
Wow just wow...And these people are on the streets "serving and protecting"? These are truly the last days
Yep
The girlfriend is the only one qualified to be a police officer. Lol
She broke THE CODE. Right?
Men let this be a lesson not to cheat and a bigger lesson not to tell a broad that you cheated.
Looks like it right
@@reignlove8741 darkness can't hide
I want to talk with him because I had a trooper lie and said he gave me a ticket but he didn't I found out through my insurance that he gave me a ticket when he said know body was at fault I was hit by someone else.
When I went to Radar school which was 40 hours. You had no online exam. Every test was in a classroom on paper with the instructors constantly looking at every student’s performance . In Radar school you learned the use of Radar the law and courtroom testimony. This is a total embarrassment for the Georgia Patrol.
Only an embarrassment if there were no consequences to the cheating (looking the other way or hiding it). Georgia Patrol did the right thing by firing the troopers. No embarrassment in doing the right thing and making it public
James Velvet Oh Col McDonough is pissed yes but there has to be some embarrassment there. I believe he saw no other alternative action in order to maintain the integrity of the department.
Some of this doesn't add up. A "civilian" was able to pass a test that required 7 months of class, who by definition as a civilian couldn't take the class, yet the two studs of the class failed? And the ENTIRE class cheated?
You realize that most cops are pretty dumb, right?
@@themosh54 Yes
That particular test isn't very hard. They didn't cheat because it was a hard test they cheated because they didn't want to take the time to take the test.
Predictable: many more of these occurrences in America, not only police.
Since no one in management caught it, fire all of them.
This is an ignorant comment. Don't be ignorant
For me the most worrying aspect of this is that out of an original class of 33 cadets, 30 were willingly prepared to cheat. The issue is not that the online method of examination enabled them to do so, but that dishonesty was already inherent within virtually all of them. For law enforcement in general this should be an extremely concerning indicator.
Grumpy Cat the other 3 were probably minorities.
DopeAMean Your reply is a complete symbol of what is wrong with society which by the way leads to this type of behavior. So does that mean you are also part of the problem? Yes, clearly. Stupid leftist propaganda has eaten away with moral and upstanding thinking and behavior. No God, no judgement, no rules, do what you want. Why even the U.S. Constitution is a “living” document, able to be changed in a whim as to what it means. It really does not advocate for freedom of speech, especially if I don’t like what you said! Why that must be Hate Speech! (No such animal). Absolute rubbish. Add to that the idea everything that goes wrong in some one’s life is because of somebody else’s fault and based on the color if their skin. Nothing is due to their own actions. So I wonder if you like playing or doing anything that has rules and in the middle of the game the rules are changed just so you lose and the other side wins? Cool thought eh? Love how America and western civilization is falling into this lazy mentality.
maddad621 The fact that your so offended makes me understand; in your heart, you know I’m right. Instead of ask why I feel the way I do, a sentiment that would actually require you to care. You chose to go on a character assault, biased on your opinions of my opinion, infringing upon my constitution rights to freedom of speech, that I happily served to protect. That my fellow citizen, is what’s wrong with America. No civil rights bill can change the heart of a people. The Bible says “ out of the abundance of a mans heart, the mouth speaks.”
@@DopeAMean So do you hate white people and believe only minorities don't cheat...or do you believe that the minorities cheated but not held accountable?
Vicky Lawrence
First, I don’t hate anyone. Second, I’m not saying minorities don’t cheat. What I’m saying is minorities don’t cheat in groups as largest 30. What I’m also saying is that anytime white people are getting an advantage they don’t include minorities. My conversation isn’t about race it’s about social habits. My other asportation, If 30 minorities cheated and it made the news they would make sure you knew that minorities did it.
You should do an investigation on Monroe County, Georgia as a whole.
I have never ever seen any online test taken at any level of government service that wasn't 100% Googled or otherwise cheated on. EVER, the atitude is if the information is of such a low priority that they don't want a salaried government employee to give the training or the test the material being taught isn't a high priority.
OMG it was a take home online exam the lowest of the low bar for testing! This is like the old school tests with the answers printed in the back of the book but bont look ROFL!
Why is it so hard to educate yourself and pass the test on your own?

Maybe a beating for "resisting" + a zillion other charges. They don't have to stick, it just that have you in their control and cost you a lot of money for court.

This is the sort of decisive action which puts credibility and professionalism back into policing. Honest, transparent actions restore public confidence in police forces. We don't expect cops to be perfect, but we do expect them to be honest and professional. Tip of the hat to you, Colonel.
If this were in New York State, they all would have been promoted. It's nice to see that some states still hold their state troopers accountable.
Most of us could take that test without studying and would pass... And the law enforcement community wonders why the public does not respect police...
Mark Mcdonough is the perfect guy to be handing this (based on watching this video). He has a great attitude and extremely patient and most importantly Honest. Very impressed.!
This person has done his homework and is answering the questions very well. Good job with getting on the situation and doing a complete and full investigation.

As a citizen, it is refreshing and reassuring to see a law-enforcement official using words like integrity and values and meeting them. I am sorry for these individuals, but I think this was a big step for the Georgia patrol, and needs to be modeled nationwide.
Commendable job by Col. McDonough....
He should resign. He may be a good cop but this is like the Titanic, Exxon Valez. 🚨
An entire class cheated. This absolutely shows where the hiring practices of the police has taken itself. And also the calibre of today's police officers.

These are just the ones that got caught.. Imagine who all has gotten by with it..
Col. McDonough, I am sorry you were betrayed by an entire class. I congratulate you on the swift action in resolving this matter. Moving forward, YOU sir are NOT responsible for another individuals actions. You cannot control someone's actions and you certainly have proven what YOU stand for. YOUR control strictly involves what the outcome of their actions would be and to that, you Sir have handled this brilliantly, maintaining the core values the GA. State Troopers stand for, while at the same time keeping public interest as the main priority! Well done Sir. To cheat in earning a law enforcement badge, I cannot imagine how much any one of those troopers WOULD HAVE cheated the citizens, and they absolutely would have, had they NOT been caught. An entire class of dishonest trainees who lacked the main core value of character & integrity. Complete disappointment.
So do these type of things explain why cops never seem to know the laws anymore?
This is the kind of person copshops attract. Is it any wonder there’s so much corruption?
It's not so much the kind of person they are attracting as much as it is what they are left with. The workforce in general is dealing with a lot of really bad people, the result of bad parenting.

If an entire class was able to cheat a couple of things come to mind.
#1- Its happened before, an entire class doesnt cheat unless they know they can get away with it and know that it will be ok.
#2- Will they investigate the other recent graduating classes.
#3- How far up did it go, we can assume the instructor was in on it but who past him was involved.
#4- Do they expect to fire the other two cadets, their on leave but do they expect to be terminated upon return from leave.
#5- Every citizen that has received a ticket from one of these 30 officers, potentially 33 officers now have a case to sue the state and argue they were ticketed improperly for speeding by someone who wasn't actually certified on radar equipment and infact cheated to graduate and how is the state preparing to deal with a potentially massive class action lawsuit or a thousand individual cases?
All really good questions that need to be addressed.
Valid questions and Re #5, this has been touched on in an article in our city paper, the AJC, stating that their cases are all in jeopardy of being tossed.
Makes you wonder how many decades this has been going on. My guess is almost forever. The gentleman was very informative and certainly takes his job seriously.
Thank You for trying to maintain credibility and honesty
Keep the course online, set a mandatory course completion date, and make the testing in-person under a state protector. No way to cheat then. Simple.
AD1VET That’s the way many online Universities do it.
The larger issue is as a police officer you have to be able to do the correct thing even when you are not being watched. They should have been fired. This on the post makes extremely difficult to get hired elsewhere.
@@2777green Understood and agree with your comment. The Colonel was asked how they would correct it. My response was to that end. A simple correction that doesn't change the entire design of the course. The only thing changed is the testing phase, which is of minimal impact to the current program design.
A proper investigation would also include determining WHERE ELSE cheating has occurred and taking appropriate action. A scandal this large with MULTIPLE methods of cheating suggests SYSTEMIC FAILURES of leadership, and a much larger problem than merely one class of “bad apples.”
That is hysterical. Shows the true character of Law enforcement.
There was'nt one good guy among them.
0 out of 30.
Our future is doomed.
So sad that they felt that they needed to do this in order to get a good job.
They already had the job. This test was to get certified in only one area of their job duties. This isn't sad. It's maddening! This is a prime example of the failure of law enforcement agencies to properly screen potential hires for morals, integrity, and psychological well being. These cheaters represent what's happening all over our country. Think about it. It makes me angry and frustrated, and very frightened.
It is an entitlement that the police all seem to believe they just these people ran into a boss who stood up although the rat might have acted if he didn’t so I wouldn’t give his too much respect for it.
What scares me isn't these who got caught. It's those who get away with it!
I think it goes on alot in high school and colleges.This is a man of charecter and morals.
