- A local police officer has been fired after video of a shocking traffic stop with a teenager.
Social Circle Police Chief Tyrone Oliver said, along with threatening and cursing out a 17-year-old boy during a traffic stop on November 23, former Officer James Sanders violated policies. Oliver decided to fire Sanders, an 8-year-veteran on the force, Thursday.
Oliver said an anonymous woman called asking him to investigate, after she said, Sanders pulled over a car and "cussed out" teenagers. The Chief reviewed body camera and dash cam video from the incident.
He said it showed Sanders at a traffic stop with another officer when a black Jeep rode by. Sanders heard one of the four passengers in the Jeep yell, "F---- the Police." At that point, he followed the car and pulled it over on North Cherokee Road, according to Oliver.
In the footage, Sanders can be seen yelling at the occupants. He also singled out the teenager who admitted to yelling the profanity-laced remark. Oliver said Sanders also urged the teenager to fight him.
"The teen kept saying, 'No, I don't want to do it.' And he's like, 'No, you're a tough guy...,'" Oliver said.
Oliver told FOX 5's Marissa Mitchell the video also shows Sanders threatening to search the Jeep and its passengers to see if they had marijuana.
"He did state that he pulled them over for failure to maintain lane. When you look at the video, the vehicle did hit the white line but it was after he was coming up on them with a high rate of speed," Oliver insisted.
Oliver added Sanders has three other disciplinary actions on his record, including a written reprimand in 2014 for allegedly threatening staff at a high school while on duty. Oliver said school officials weren't happy with
security Sanders provided and wanted to talk with him before paying him. In turn, Sanders threatened to mail anthrax to the school and "blow up" the building, according to the police chief. Oliver also said Sanders received an oral warning in 2013 for refusing to transport money from municipal court to the city hall and he was given a written warning for failing to turn in activity sheets in January 2016.
"In this profession, we have to have tough skin. People say stuff to us all the time and you got to let it roll off your back and do your job and do it right," Oliver said.
Kid yells "F the police!"
Cop retroactively justifies it.
Yeah but how bout that guy who may have gotten off on a ticket before him 🏆
@@roscoep4850 there were two cops on the initial stop. Im sure they got the revenue
ja ja ja good one
Justified it? He freakin manifested it. Sumbitches takin requests now!
The feelings police . His feelings are above the law. Wait and see this cop will be back on the force with a huge sum of back pay and cussing out and threatening more teens in about 18 months i garenty it and it'll all be kept secret from the tax payers who pay for his 18 monthes of paid vacation
I can’t believe this, finally a peaceful end to a tyrant, but how many are out there ⁉️🧐🤔
Yea dude is a time bomb 💣 glad he’s been terminated
Is makes no difference he'll go somewhere else
We need more police chiefs with integrity like him.
And the kid didn't even have to die for justice to be served...
I'm very happy to know, you removed this man's man's badge from him. Terminated, this man has no business being a police officer.
This is one Chief of Police I have a lot of love and respect for.
I'd bet 1,000 to one that same chief has covered for dirty cops. He only fired this one for getting caught on camera. No camera = no discipline for dirty cops.
Max Brazil Well you kind of have to have proof the officer did wrong...so ofc he'd get fired after being caught on camera...
Thank you Chief. I commend you for doing the right thing. This clown didn’t need to be around the public
He should of been arrested and fired when he threatened to blow up the building
Love to see this guy make it through a week as a retail employee
One down, plenty more to go.
yeah....sure
Tru dat
Yes ! 95% of all police officers.
It's ridiculous how many times a cop can be reprimanded for this kind of stuff before they fire them, and usually nothing does happen. How many cops out there just have the wrong mentality for that job, how many cops abuse their power and mistreat people every day and get away with it...
So glad the chief did the right thing.
He had NO LEGAL RIGHT to pull that jeep over. He threatened, intimidated and violated the Constitutional rights of these young men.
He should have charges filed against him for all the obvious violations he committed in addition to the kids father beating his ass.
Agreed. But they should have gotten rid of him earlier, when they knew before he had a problem with his temper.
People like you are the reason our society is so fucked up. Not to mention you have no idea what you're talking about............ as is the case with 99.5% of you jailhouse lawyers blabbermouths.
falcondriver100 And yet the police chief himself disagrees with you. Could it be that you are in fact the problem with this country? When people like you refuse to hold cops accountable for their own actions, the problem continues to grow.
Your name fits you well. I see nobody on this thread saying anything about the loud mouthed/disrespectful teenagers yelling "fuck the police". SMFH. In my day cops didn't have to act like this b/c the parents would beat the shit out of me if I'd have done this, AFTER the cop beat my ass & wrote me up for disorderly conduct. Now, thanks to tube steaks like yourself kids are out of control crybabies needing 'safe places' and unable to cope with real life and riot when they don't get their way. And don't talk to me about the cops cursing when every rap song they listen to or movie they watch has much worse in it. Our society has gone to shit thanks to chumps like you.
falcondriver100 It's good to know that you have zero desire when it comes to cops acting professional. And once again this cop's own "boss" disagrees with you. It doesn't matter what you think of me, I didn't fire this cop his chief did. Try to pay attention more to the story in question and less to me.
I could only imagine the things cops used to get away with before body cams
Stop hiring and promoting reactive people, and start hiring and promoting responsive ones.
Chief Tyrone Oliver is one of the few cop heroes in my book.
Someone in Atlanta should do a follow up on this thug to see what happens after he is fired. Where does he go, what does he do? Does he get another job in law enforcement or Mickey D's???
Glad he got fired
striker titan They are always reinstated after the news has cooled down a bit.
The teens had their rights to confront the officer and tell the officer:"I exercised my Freedom of Speech!"
But because they are teens and not fully studied about such things is a shame.
He got fired because he was too thin skinned to handle teens saying "F--- the police!"
That's sad!
Imagine abusing your power and proving to the teens that their opinion of F the Police is pretty warranted when directed at him
if they act like this with cameras rolling imagine what pigs are doing when there are no cameras.
Sounds like 8 years on the force was 8 years too long.Got to have a tough skin and deal with personal insults if you going to be in that line of work.Time for a new career
He got fired because he had 3 other issues on his record. I don't think the chief would take the heat for that.
The teen boy can sue the cop for harassment & take all cop's belonging
Ha Ha ok UA-cam lawyer
Always tough when a suspect is unarmed
Police chief may no longer be on the force after so many years now, but he is one of the most fair I’ve seen so far. Godbless him 🙏🏽
Can’t believe he got fired for this, cops have been caught doing sooooooo much worse and get suspended WITH pay.
"if i find one ounce of weed" I dont think this dude realizes how much an ounce of weed is. I highly doubt them kids have that much even if they are smoking it
Don’t doubt that... you would be surprised.
Should NOT have been fired.
The doofus provided the evidence to show just how correct the kid was.
Ya gotta love irony.
Thanks, Chief for doing the right thing.
perfect example of a "Feelings Enforcement Officer"
If youre ego is so fragile that you get offended by profanity, you need serious mental help! Seek a psychiatrist and/or a therapist
That's what police good at now a days threatening people.VERY SAD
These are the type of cops we in America need to start hanging on live PPV and help pay off some of the national debt.
Only in USA is 8 years a veteran.
What a joke of a country.!!
If you cant take someone talking to you wrong how can you handle yourself in deadly situations? You cant, you get too emotional, you misjudge and you kill innocent people.
Can you imagine if he talks to a kid he doesn't know this way he must be a real POS with his own family.
"Cursing" is a fireable offense now? Give me a fucking break.
These cops need to be addressed. Fired is NOT enough. Pathetic
Pity they don’t have to pass a physical to keep the job.
Well he was due to get fired. Looks like he no longer respected the position he was in. He was turning into a mad max.
God bless Chief Tyrone Oliver for standing up for civil rights vs the 'Thin Blue Line' brotherhood!
Another win for the bad guys. Respect is not given, it is earned. Punks driving by yelling obscenities at police officers don’t deserve any. When I was a kid, this situation would have been handled a totally different way. It was not only accepted, it was expected. Our Country is going to hell!
I wish someone would make a compilation of cops getting fired. These are the most feel good videos on youtube.
He forgot that he was on the job . He thought he was at home talking to his wife and kids .
What do cops not work out anymore? I thought PT was required?
It's not a win till his certification is revoked. He'll just go to work for another department.
Good thing he got fired, god only knows who he would have shot out of rage had he stayed in the police force.
Very unprofessional, maybe he skipped
All the trainings, and went straight to patrolling.
Imagine how many lives hes ruined
The US Supreme Court has ruled that public officials are not protected from 1st Amendment by citizens calling them names. Lucky cop that was not my kid cuz he and the city would have been totally sued. I believe see Texas v. Hill is one of the case laws.
He is your typical American cop. He was only out of work for 2 days as he was hired as a captain in the closest town.
If firing a cop was always that easy.
He seemed a little long in the tooth to be only on the force for 8 years, wonder what the last police department fired him for ..? I'll bet. The same thing that scumbag will get his job back, or be on another department in less than 6 months. What a disgrace
He got fired for yelling...?? they get paid vacation for shooting us....smh
This is no justice
“He pulled him over for failure to maintain” when show me the video where this kid is all over the lane. This cop pulled him over to harass him for exercising his 1st amendment right and then threatened to fight him a teenager.
Good job Bossman you are one of the good officers
They need to be charged, they just go to another police force.
Good need to fire more
1:30. And they keep telling us they don't hire or keep cops with a history. Smh.
It's about time, seen this video awhile ago, and thought what a jerk. Hold cops accountable for their actions. He thought he was above the law, guess not.
Pulling a car off for gently swerving??? Are you fkn me
he was bullied in school.
I think he was right.
Young dudes need some manners to be taught these days, as parents have seemingly given up on this task a long time ago.....
Kid probably needed a good tune up tho
Wooooooow. He needs anger management.
This Cop is the type we need and if we continue to allow anyone to disrespect Cops for no reasons God help us.
Guess Mr. Big Bad Police Man wasn't wearing his big boy pants that day.
He will have another job in a week .Doing the same thing.
Kindness in America would really go a long way. Y'all just too roudy
Bully with a badge, glad they fired him hopefully he will not be able to just go somewhere else and get a job as a police officer.
Everybody gets some criticism, whether you are a plumber,mechanic or whatever. This guy is just a bully
Funny isn't it?
Killing a man and yet still get to keeps their job but yet cussing out someone is firing offense.
Oh no what did the police officer do we’ll keep an eye out
They just join another department in another county.
Did she drag out the word.... "out"?
It doesn’t matter the pig will get hired at another department because other departments aren’t allowed to look at their past work violations. Thats why pigs at like pigs.
I seen this when it was posted. So glad to see he is off the force. Hes a bad cop. An was a danger to the public he served. Again hooe your familys proud of you.
he hadn't had his morning cheeseburgers yet
While I don't condone yelling something like that at the police, we do have a right in this country to freedom of speech. Seems to me that this falls under the umbrella of the US Constitution.
I’m sure he is just living in his mothers basement now.
“It’s only one bad apple” All the good apples have been leaving, scared of disciplinary action if they speak up. Meanwhile this guy gets 4 write ups and news stories, his punishment? Continued employment, ZERO consequence for on duty actions through Qualified Immunity, and paid fucking leave.
Public sector incompetence is rewarded, but he would’ve been fired in the private sector.
NO THE BAD COP STARTED HIS CHASE WAY BEFORE THAT.
What about the other officer? He let it happen too.
8yrs isn't a veteran of anything.
Police please be fair like constitution says
Glad they took his badge away.
So they finally fired the walking donut.
hes probably the Chief now
People yell at me from their cars all the time... imagine getting this upswt
Ik the cop is in the wrong but it is still funny how scared the kid is and how he won’t back up his talk
Imagine being on the force for 8 years and then getting fired because some kid hurt your feelings.
But somehow not get fired for making threats to mail anthrax to and blow up a school?? Wtf???
@@LeverPhile EXACTLY!!!
LeverPhile dude i read that and was like wtf?
Always think with your head,not that thing in your chest,now he's got some explaining to do with the wife and kids.
@Adelaide Trinity Maybe, but you would not need video if a common citizen had made threats like that. Police brutality is not simply a race issue, although that does play a part. It's as much about absolute power unchecked.
Any bets that this guy after being fired by one police department just moved on down the road to only be hired by another department?
More likely that he went to another state
No bet.
Yep! there's a podunk police chief somewhere just waiting to hire him.
That's how it works but only if they resigned first. The cop in Pittsburgh that shot a kid in the back was fired from a different Dept just months prior to blasting the kid in the back as he was running.
Probably a security officer now
and he was hired 20 minutes later 2 towns over.
Its a joke. It seems too easy to get in there and become a police.
I wouldn’t doubt it
That loophole is under scrutiny now and is soon to close.
Probably
yeah hear that all the time, rehired, bloody joke
8 year veteran- what a joke. I remember when 'veteran' used to actually mean something.
@Tabora it can also be used to describe someone who's served in a job for a really long time, like cops. But I don't think 8 years is a long enough time to call someone a veteran when there are a lot of cops who have served longer than this guy has been alive.
@@kerrytusc No it doesn't, a veteran is anyone who has done something for a long time
Your comment is not very bright and sounds like an intentional swipe at the military, you probably have no respect for authority or even pride in yourself.
@@PETERJOHN101 well you sound like a bitch. This isn't anything to do with the military, I didn't even reference them at all. I was clearly referencing how the word veteran was usually someone who served longer than 8 years, as a cop, as the video was about cops. Dickhead.
@Tabora You're Absolutely right I'm a Veteran and I was never deployed.
The bully cop got what he deserved he's just been getting away with it too long!
Tiberiu Farcas that cop was a big bully🤣his karma caught up to him that’s about it
@@michaelgonzalez215 no he wasn't watch full video on police activity. The cop did what the teens parents should have done.
@Tiberiu Farcas you must live in a different world to the rest of us.
If that cop had ignored the comment it would have taught the youths much more.... and meat-head would still have his job and a modicum of respect. He showed his colours and got what he deserved.
I wonder how brave the cop is with real criminals.. (or do I)
@sierra 117 no he wasn't . Watch police activity video.
I have felt like doing this to teens many times. But I didn’t. A man has to have self control.
And you know how many times people feel like doing the same things to police that the police do to people and they also have self control? Ain't nothing special you did by doing the right thing in the first place.
You don't deserve the badge if you cannot act like a professional AT ALL TIMES. We expect you to be better than the criminals, not sink to their level.
With a police chief like that, they might earn enough respect that folks will stop calling them assholes as they drive past.
If you can't handle a little bit of name-calling don't be a police officer.
Really...when you think about what an idiot the fool is that's calling you that actually is...just Chuckle away!!! He's probably a felon, or will be soon enough...
In Australia it is actually an offence to call a cop something they deem offensive, Australia is one big police state much so more than America and our cops are a bunch of pansies
Hell, you can't even be on the internet.
I agre, but why poke the leopard with a short stick?
@@jeffdarnell7942 You just because, dont try to become a police officer, it shows you couldn't handle it.
This needs to happen more often - Fire bad police officers.

First--thanks for your service I salute you. I had a gun rammed into my head, balls grabbed and squeezed, everything you can imagine to try to get me to take a swing at them so they could beat me half to death and then charge me with assault to justify the beating, which they would have won in court as 'everyone believes a cop in court' and the only witnesses were other cops. What saved me was knowing their MO and (childish as it sounds) repeating to myself over and over: "Not now, don't fight them now, come back tomorrow or next week and blow the whole station to pieces if your going to take them on." I knew far worse outcomes then mine. My "crime"?....resisting arrest via running from them, there was no reason for the arrest given other than that. That was in the early '80's, some things never seem to change.
Or hang them, either way works well!
Bill Conley .... WORD. ✊
They keep saying its just a few bad apples. The proverb actually states that one bad apple will spoil the whole barrel of apples.
Bill Conley. Are there any good
cops. None of them obey their
oaths. None of them obey the
Constition. None of them know
the law. None of them know our
rights, and they dont care. Not
enough of them have been taught
a lesson yet. What is it going to
take? WAR AGAINST COPS
thats what.
