Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams announces firing of Officer Christopher Meyer, who was involved in a shoplifting incident that received national attention.
That's not enough. This officer and the others involved in this bullying of innocent black civilians need to be arrested and charged with assault and battery under color of authority.
Yeah, they need to treat cops who point guns at people and threaten to kill them when they pose no risk like the criminals they are. Cops also need to stop going to bat for these assholes, they make they rest of your look bad.
Police unions across the country lie about the conduct of their officers. Even when there cameras reveal them abusing their authority. Today everyone carries a cell phone with a camera, yet cops still argue they did nothing wrong. How stupid can they be, knowing that someone is taking a video.
This doesn't change anything. They need to be in prison. The PHX police kill around 50 citizens every year since 2016 and that number never dropped below 50
Should have been charged criminally. There's no other way to slice it: you point firearms at unthreatening people and threaten to kill them, you're a criminal.
Now this lady is handle this type of good situation that needs to be handled that some of these bad cops are out of control and they need to put remove or other cops will be put in a bad situation like them.
Do you even know what Qualified immunity is? It isn't what you have been told it is and so eagerly accepted....It doesn't shield government employees from all law suits..If the officer has done wrong. He can still be sued! Stop watching your liberal TV networks and listening to jail house lawyers...Why don't you do research instead of listening to propaganda...
Thank you, Chief..You have made an inroad into an area that should have been done a LONG TIME AGO. I was expecting suspensions and retraining, and the proverbial slap on the wrist for most all of these cops. with this may there be a spectre of fear that follow all police officers, during the course of their work...In other words: You will be held accountable For your Eff-ups..not just swept under the rug, like most all times before...Maybe THIS will be the process that weeds out all ANGRY "I am the cop, and YOU will do EXACTLY as I say" blowhards.
Them she claims that their officers are dispatched 1800 times per day. That's 657,000 dispatches per year. Of the 657,000 dispatches per year, they get 6,570 of those wrong. That's 6,570 too many to get wrong.
Before you comment please watch the video !!!!... It isn't just his language, the guy is cuffed and legs spread and the cop about breaks his leg by sweeping it out from under him...
The thing that bothers me is they're firing one officer. The chief said she learned about the incident from social media videos. How many cops were there? Every single one of them kept their mouths shut and she learned about this the same way the rest of us did. If they really wanted to build trust then every officer there that stayed quite should be fired. I'm not saying they should have or could have stopped the incident but to not bring it to your superiors at the end of the day is unacceptable. Her officers disrespected her and allowed her to be blindsided when the videos came out and apparently shes okay with that
Respectful and courteous are easy. Anybody can have good manners. But those two cops had no restraint. Kudos to the chief for letting them go. You can't risk sinking the department's image over loyalty.
I agree with how she's handling this incident but she said they 'get it right' 99% of the time. I don't buy that. No police agency gets it right 99% of the time. Arizona, in particular, has a horrible pattern of rights violations.
She seems to be the right person in the right job. Ask the FBI. for assistance that will keep them from raiding an ex president's home. SAVE THE REPUBLIC
My god chiefy your finally doing your job. Somebody must of reminded you that if you dont charge your corrupt tyrant cops that you would fall under the accomplice to crimes . No more immunity for cops. That means you to chief. We are watchin!!!
Maybe we have one police chief here that's finally waking up and seeing what's going on in the real world,,,I wish we could say that about all off ALL of them !
TRUE!!! Thank you for taking the time to care and take a stand. But right now, too many are asking, who are they serving? It doesn't look like the public, anymore!!! Talking about civil service rights, what about other civil service rights... Besides police officers? The punishment seems really light, from the public's point of view... Not necessarily the paid media point of view, these are not our elected officials, not do they seem to bring to the table, the public's issues or concerns...!!! The public is wondering why officers given psychological evaluations every six months to check if officers are fit for purpose, or a public safety hazard to themselves and others? Are officers checked for contradictions to safety, peace, and protection for the communities they are assigned to serve? For example if an officer agrees with the KKK it other White Supremacist groups, are they still employed there, or sent to minority it mixed neighborhoods?
We had already seen the George Floyd incident so apparently these cops thought it was all alright. There is something wrong with the way police perceive things. We need a different criteria for applicants for the job. I blame the top of the executive branch the mayors.
This just plain doggone stupid all the store employee failed to do was to verify if the family purchased the doll, thank God the family was awarded a financial lawsuit and the cop was fired.
That all need to be fired because if I would have done that in my job I would have been completely terminated so what gives them the right to be still in the force if they can't even control their actions against human beings
99% of the time you get in right. You mean 99% the police/public interactions do not result in national headlines. How many of these interactions result in arrests that lead to drop charges, unnecessary escalated charges, plea bargains?? Y'all ain't here to protect and serve, it should be arrest, charge, and convict at all costs. How many unsolved rape cases do Y'all have on the books?? Missing people?? Sex trafficking?? Unsolved murders??
I'm 55 years old I seen 50 years of backsliding you got a lot of work ahead of you dear right now you're just dumping water out of the boat it ain't even repaired yet

Why do we never see these 'Police Chiefs of Color' in any of Spanky's rallies?
The police officer had me Once he started Cussing the people out there were children present but he didn't care. He felt in power behind his Badge. Good Job Chief
At least they are trying to do something about it. It would be much better if it didn't happen. It's just making all policing business looking really really bad.
@Garry Ellison No, it is not her business. For a short time, anyway, this is still the US and people have a right to free speech and that does include police officers. Being "woke" IS the problem now and YOU are part of the problem.
What did they post? If they posted something realy screwed up there are consequences. Freedom of speach you can say what you want , but does not mean there are no consequences.
You should make one police force for the whole country this different police force for each state is part of the problem people are wicked in there nature don't trust people
What they always get fired they should lose there police licence s u are not fixing the problem the police officers will just go to another department also they keep there pensions that's wrong
Note: the scum police union tried to remove this chief for daring to hold this cop accountable.
Police unions are scum
@@michaelminniefield2959 They are actually the most anti-union union around.
She is just as bad as the union. Stop it.
Some of these cops are literally doing steroids the standard test they administrator doesn't pick it up
@@SirNic4180 well she’s not, so stfu 😂
Just imagine if that person didn't video this encounter. Then they wouldn't have been doing this
That's not enough. This officer and the others involved in this bullying of innocent black civilians need to be arrested and charged with assault and battery under color of authority.
Minorities cops have to realize when you become police chiefs you're just escape goats
With a RACIAL enhancement !
cops if fire should be sue personally and let the union pay for it
Yeah, they need to treat cops who point guns at people and threaten to kill them when they pose no risk like the criminals they are. Cops also need to stop going to bat for these assholes, they make they rest of your look bad.
And Then, over to General Population when they're found guilty! NOT protective custody !!
Lose their jobs? They need to be in jail.
Those officers had an extreme amount of anger, to the point they should be ordered to a mental health facility and kept away from society.
ABSOLUTELY, AND THEN THEY SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO BE EMPLOYED AT ANY POLICE DEPT. FOR ANY JOB EVER!
They ALL have some form of mental health issue mostly NARCISSISM
Police unions across the country lie about the conduct of their officers. Even when there cameras reveal them abusing their authority. Today everyone carries a cell phone with a camera, yet cops still argue they did nothing wrong. How stupid can they be, knowing that someone is taking a video.
The police union it just a stay out of jail card
They have qualified immunity that allows you to be stupid and keep a job
The police department doesn't hire people for their intelligence.
Wow im proud of our police chief good job ma'am
Absolutely!
Police chief here is much more humane and fair compared to the former sheriff Arpio.
Now this is a true leader! This is a General! Thank You! Live well and prosper. May other Police Chief's follow her lead.
This doesn't change anything. They need to be in prison. The PHX police kill around 50 citizens every year since 2016 and that number never dropped below 50
She's a lying rat the Phoenix police are terrorist and all need to be jailed. There murderers and rapist and some drug addicts
AMEN
Watch the comminity meeting she held a year prior, she blamed the community.
Should have been charged criminally. There's no other way to slice it: you point firearms at unthreatening people and threaten to kill them, you're a criminal.
Facts.
thank you very much police chief,you are the chosen few
Now this lady is handle this type of good situation that needs to be handled that some of these bad cops are out of control and they need to put remove or other cops will be put in a bad situation like them.
@Joe Jolly why
Chief Williams has the right to fire. Good job Chief
Now, remove qualified immunity, and loose the blue line gang symbol and you will gain respect!
Don't forget the re- training which they need !
Do you even know what Qualified immunity is? It isn't what you have been told it is and so eagerly accepted....It doesn't shield government employees from all law suits..If the officer has done wrong. He can still be sued! Stop watching your liberal TV networks and listening to jail house lawyers...Why don't you do research instead of listening to propaganda...
That is a brave courageous police chief there that is trying to do the right thing, we need more police chief with that type of courage and integrity
Thank you, Chief..You have made an inroad into an area that should have been done a LONG TIME AGO. I was expecting suspensions and retraining, and the proverbial slap on the wrist
for most all of these cops. with this may there be a spectre of fear that follow all police officers, during the course of their work...In other words: You will be held accountable
For your Eff-ups..not just swept under the rug, like most all times before...Maybe THIS will be the process that weeds out all ANGRY "I am the cop, and YOU will do EXACTLY as I say" blowhards.
Continuing to pray for the Chief Jerry Williams. Thank you🙏
I wish Seattle had leadership like her.😑
bless her heart she trying.
Them she claims that their officers are dispatched 1800 times per day. That's 657,000 dispatches per year. Of the 657,000 dispatches per year, they get 6,570 of those wrong. That's 6,570 too many to get wrong.
16 union members disliked this
Boohoo let the union pay for there offences quick they would change attitude
REBUKE!
She's doing an excellent job 😁
Before you comment please watch the video !!!!... It isn't just his language, the guy is cuffed and legs spread and the cop about breaks his leg by sweeping it out from under him...

High stander . you guys shot my 17year old friend at a warhouse party 😡
Imagine the trauma for the little girl who took the doll! Omg they don’t know how bad they have scared the little girl and her family!
Stealing is stealing
@@shawne02 im pretty sure that you wouldn't deserve to get shot over stealing a $1 doll
Wow you got a huge number of cops that are dangerous.
Thank you. Clearly he needs rehab. Or more.
I trust the chief! she is genuine and compassionate about this community and her position!
I can't believe how much s*** can come out of one person's mouth.
72 more police officers from the same department defended their actions, but it’s just a few bad apples
What’s the entire saying… “A few bad apples SPOIL THE BUNCH!”
He needed to be fired but you "brand" been tarnished.....
Both fired. Absolutely should be no tolerance for that emotional behaviour.
They all need to go. They are all dirty...actively or passively.
It's rotten to the core.
THIS WOMAN CHIEF , ITS WHAT ALL DO WE NEED, A RIGHTEOUS MY RESPECTS. GOOD JOB THANK YOU.
They both deserved to not only be fired but charged convicted and jailed.
Some of these disciplinary measures were just days off or vacations for these police officers.
Those that got fired can probably carpool to Mesa and get jobs at that police department
All that BS for a child taking something
Respectful and courteous are easy. Anybody can have good manners. But those two cops had no restraint. Kudos to the chief for letting them go. You can't risk sinking the department's image over loyalty.
These officers need to be re investigated since she's gone
I agree with how she's handling this incident but she said they 'get it right' 99% of the time. I don't buy that. No police agency gets it right 99% of the time. Arizona, in particular, has a horrible pattern of rights violations.
Get rid of that damn corrupt Police Union.
And she is under investigation for other events.....
They need to be in jail so they can be as tough as they want to everyday
She grew some balls so she wouldn't lose her job !
Your fired have your attorney call our attorney...
She seems to be the right person in the right job. Ask the FBI. for assistance that will keep them from raiding an ex president's home. SAVE THE REPUBLIC
My god chiefy your finally doing your job. Somebody must of reminded you that if you dont charge your corrupt tyrant cops that you would fall under the accomplice to crimes . No more immunity for cops. That means you to chief. We are watchin!!!
Why do they get warned that they will be terminated
every single cop involved with the arrest and the Facebook post that kept their jobs should have to go through a yearly psych evaluation.
Maybe we have one police chief here that's finally waking up and seeing what's going on in the real world,,,I wish we could say that about all off ALL of them !
She not playing about her staff...
Can we really believe they get it right 99% of the time?????????
TRUE!!!
Thank you for taking the time to care and take a stand.
But right now, too many are asking, who are they serving? It doesn't look like the public, anymore!!!
Talking about civil service
rights, what about other civil service rights... Besides police officers?
The punishment seems really light, from the public's
point of view... Not necessarily the paid media point of view, these are not our elected officials, not do they seem to bring to the table, the public's issues or concerns...!!!
The public is wondering why officers given psychological evaluations every six months to check if officers are fit for purpose,
or a public safety hazard to themselves and others?
Are officers checked for contradictions to safety, peace, and protection for the communities they are assigned to serve? For example if an officer agrees with the KKK it other White Supremacist groups, are they still employed there, or sent to minority it mixed neighborhoods?
Accountability fire those Rouge Officers YES... take a stance Chief 👍🏿
We had already seen the George Floyd incident so apparently these cops thought it was all alright. There is something wrong with the way police perceive things. We need a different criteria for applicants for the job. I blame the top of the executive branch the mayors.
This just plain doggone stupid all the store employee failed to do was to verify if the family purchased the doll, thank God the family was awarded a financial lawsuit and the cop was fired.
Why do any of these situations have other police determining the outcome no other police should be allowed to weigh in
She can talk but out the side of her neck, what rights do the public have when things happen to them?
SHE'S got my support.
This police chief has courage. She will take not crap from her employees. I pray she can straighten up those crooked cops.
That all need to be fired because if I would have done that in my job I would have been completely terminated so what gives them the right to be still in the force if they can't even control their actions against human beings
How do police officers get superego as soon as they get a badge and a gun? How?
WRONG IS WRONG , CALL IT OUT! HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.
Are you enjoying DOJ oversight?
99% of the time you get in right. You mean 99% the police/public interactions do not result in national headlines. How many of these interactions result in arrests that lead to drop charges, unnecessary escalated charges, plea bargains?? Y'all ain't here to protect and serve, it should be arrest, charge, and convict at all costs. How many unsolved rape cases do Y'all have on the books?? Missing people?? Sex trafficking?? Unsolved murders??
99% right .... the funniest thing I've ever heard
But she still do what is a 40 hour without pay or a 24 hour without pay put they still on the force!???
I'm 55 years old I seen 50 years of backsliding you got a lot of work ahead of you dear right now you're just dumping water out of the boat it ain't even repaired yet
Why do we never see these 'Police Chiefs of Color' in any of Spanky's rallies?
MAYBE THEY NEED A NEW CHIEF AS WELL
What? Attempt to de-escalate?
The police officer had me Once he started Cussing the people out there were children present but he didn't care. He felt in power behind his Badge. Good Job Chief
That Myers should be locked up..he has issues..he's a time bomb waiting to happen..
i just watch this and I am so mad and scare that there are peoplein this role who could have so muc angeer in there hearts and where a badge.
Well done chief,the future for the black people are getting better,when more like this young lady is taken on.keep up the good work
Honorable police chief
she gave them a few weeks off
They’ll be hired someone else take their license
At least they are trying to do something about it. It would be much better if it didn't happen. It's just making all policing business looking really really bad.
Blah blah blah that does fix the fact that the couple were afraid scared and this was more than brutality
Serve and protect
Abuse and violence
They beat Rodney king and they still kept there jobs and that was on camera what was it about 12 cops
He gotta be kidding...
What are you doing snooping through their social media? DAMN! It is none of your business!
@Garry Ellison No, it is not her business. For a short time, anyway, this is still the US and people have a right to free speech and that does include police officers. Being "woke" IS the problem now and YOU are part of the problem.
@Garry Ellison Yep, you are woke. I have no use for you.
What did they post? If they posted something realy screwed up there are consequences. Freedom of speach you can say what you want , but does not mean there are no consequences.
He better be put on the Brady list along with the other officers who were put on leave
Wow so they can go work at another department.. wow people lives was horrifically changed but hey it’s the regular rite smh
You should make one police force for the whole country this different police force for each state is part of the problem people are wicked in there nature don't trust people
What they always get fired they should lose there police licence s u are not fixing the problem the police officers will just go to another department also they keep there pensions that's wrong
