‘Brady’ list officer changed name to infamous movie gangster
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- When Officer James Beasley resigned from the Phoenix Police Department, his history of misconduct didn’t follow him to his new agency. His subsequent name change - the same as an infamous movie gangster - only further obscured his record. James Beasley is now Michael Corleone. While his identity change is attention-grabbing, an ABC15 investigation found his record on Maricopa County’s ‘Brady’ list was never disclosed to defendants in dozens, and likely hundreds, of cases after went to work for the Pascua Yaqui Police Department.

@ABC15 Arizona, you should start a new segment called The Brady Bunch and highlight the misconduct with an investigative report for each officer. I mean, that's a big list of content right there!
THIS!
they would need a whole new news team and channel for that!
I would be more interested in those that were involved in serious crimes investigation and the such. How many were convicted on faulse info from the officers.
PLEASE!!!
Thank you for all of your investigating,please keep exposing these tyrants. I don't live in Arizona,but enjoy seeing someone reporting on these outrageous injustices in America. It gives us hope for tomorrow. ❤️🙏🇺🇸
How could he testify in a trial? Wouldn't any decent defense attorney do some digging into his name off the bat and find out about his past?
Yes there is even a list for lying employees.
I don't know the
"official" name.
🤺💐
And people are supposed to trust the Police department?
In their eyes, yes lol
There's a system of political connections with influence in public law enforcement agencies at the local and county levels that's pretty much the reason that 'Brady Lists' exist, and AZ probably gives a start or second chance to a disproportionate number of the individuals on that list, US-wide. It's a minority of Agencies and a small plurality of LEOs, but if anyone remembers how powerful Joe Arpaio was as Maricopa County Sheriff and some of the Scandals he and his Deputies suppressed, none of this would be shocking.
Isn't the Phoenix PD under a federal consent decree? That means even other law enforcement doesn't trust them.
AZ has some bad cops. Seems like anytime police brutality hits the news it's either Southern California police (Kern country Sheriff's, LAPD or LASD) or the Phoenix PD.
@@thesun6211 JOE APRAIO WORKED FOR CARTELS
You better trust them, or they'll arrest/attack/kill you until you do.
1:10 I missed it. Did you ask the DA's office why this officer wasn't prosecuted for perjury? Lying in a police report is a felony. I must have overlooked that part.
The constitution mandates laws be applied equally. So if a regular citizen would be prosecuted for let's say perjury, theft or obstructing an investigation then a DA should apply the law equally to a law enforcement officer and prosecute them for the same crimes as well.
Is there a reason the DA is not applying the law equally? 🤔 Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Regular citizens don't get the luxury of only being placed on a Brady list for crimes, they get prosecuted.
INEQUALITY and Prosecutorial Misconduct.. Seems to be the normal way our Government continues to do their ongoing and acceptable Misconduct.. They have immunity, while you and I get Prosecuted and jailed...
An officer could change their name if they ever chose to, but are their social security numbers not added to this data base system?? If so, a name or past aliases should be automatically updated.
You cant lie in a police report if you never did one. He only lied to his boss about being up to date with them.
Records show Michael Corleone is no longer an officer. Yeah right ,he might be the chief of police under a different name in some other town.
They are the biggest criminals in our streets and they have qualified immunity
go to heII
@@EveryoneIsStupidButMe no thank you. Jesus saved me. Praise Him
MODERN COPS CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS THAN THEY SOLVE . COPS CREATE THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE THAT COMES AROUND TO KILL THEM .
His “retirement” pay is higher than the median household income in America.
Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again, ever. ...
Don't ask me about my business.
This is a really good new report and investigation.
So if a simple name change can hide a bad cops history, shouldn’t that name change also negate his law enforcement certification?
Wouldn’t he have to register his new name to the certification board? And then, the new name should transfer to his previous permanent record and Brady list.
Imagine that. A felon could just do a name change and magically qualify to enter a police academy training program?
Seriously, I went thru more strenuous background checks when I adopted my own granddaughter.
Try telling me that law enforcement agencies don’t know about, and are choosing not to do anything about this?
Accountability? Where? Law enforcement- the biggest violators of laws.
Gotta love how youtube killed the feed right as he was giving the url for that braidy list
NATIONAL REGISTRY FOR ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT. COPS, JUDGES, LAWYERS. THREE BAD INSTANCES WILL GET YOU ONE YEAR SUSPENSION. JUST LIKE A TRUCK DRIVER.
MONTHLY MANDATORY DRUG TESTS FOR ALL COPS , JUDGES AND LAWYERS RESULTS POSTED ONLINE . THE LAWS MUST BE MADE TO PROTECT CIVILIANS FROM CRIMINAL COPS WHO ARE ON DRUGS .......... COPS ON DRUGS SHOULD BE IN JAIL OR PRISON , JUST LIKE CIVILIANS , NOT PROTECT BY THIS EVIL IMMORAL SYSTEM .
How's about making them an adjunct of the military? You know court martial, firing squad for unconstitutional acts?
@hughgordon6435 I absolutely agree. You violate the US constitution, it's one of the highest forms of treason in my eyes.
You must be one of them because they deserve to go to prison anybody that has no qualms falsifying a document to send an innocent person to be incarcerated they don't deserve to get written up they deserve to be in jail themselves
@@davidhathcox573 This guy gets it. "3 strikes and you get a 1 year suspension" Yeah, @#$% that. When police screw up, it costs people their dignity, their freedom, and possibly their lives. Cops shouldn't get 3 chances and the consequences shouldn't just be job-related, they should come in the form of criminal charges.
You all deserve the Edward R. Murrow award for journalism.
Guys put this on National television.
This is to important to just be shown to people in Arizona.
Nah, wrong, this knucklehead can go to another state... so...
This is exactly why the Integrity of law-enforcement is on hand, and we have an issue with accountability exposing the truth behind policing in the United States.
Brady list ? It should be assigned they can never change their names period.
WE NEED A NATIONAL REGISTRATION FOR COPS JUST LIKE TRUCK DRIVERS HAVE IN OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA.
Inexcusable cops... Inexcusable Police Departments ...
Inexcusable citizens.
par for the course? how many crooked cops are out there? pathetic.
Yes
The fact that he did his crimes against native Americans is even so much more disturbing and disgusting
Why?
Employment Question: Have you ever been on the Brady list? The should solve this employment issue.
After all these investigations...
What is being done to hold the accountable
ACCOUNTABLE?
Welcome to the circus show.
Why finger printing and facial recognition for law enforcement and political office should be mandatory.
I can't see how the tribal leaders will allow an outsider to be a police officer for their tribe
PROSECUTE THIS MAN. HE IS A FELON! WHY HASNT THE DA PROSECUTED HIM FOR FALSIFYING RECORDS! THIS IS A FELONY!!!!!!!
@longwildernesswalks Right‼️ That's what I said when the Prosecution supplied Police Body Cam Video with the Date & Time Stamp Information Redacted to the Public Defenders Office.
"Evidence Tampering" obviously hiding something. Possibly how long their body cams were turned off against Policy.
So I was deemed Incompetent to Stand Trial.
Just the thing a sociopath would do
All police should insist on an explicit declaration when hiring. Are you, or have you ever, been on a brady list. that means when caught later, you can dismiss, cancel pensions etc.
They might end up on the Brady list so they'll never do that, job protection in job #1
We got ur back big time great investigation
If your on the Brady list you shouldn’t be allowed to go to the different unit
Secretive Brady List??!!! Bullshit!! Brady List is not to be Secretive!!
We need a Federal list to track rogue and killer cops. My playlists have almost a thousand videos of people dying at the hands of police and in jail/prison from violence and restraints. The murderers often avoid accountability and many keep their jobs. Some have killed more than once! When police accountability is so bad, people are in grave danger. No matter their alleged crimes, when people are in custody, it is legally required that they are safe. 🤬🤬🤬
The Phoenix police department is notorious for inadequate regulations. DECADES worth. Rotten to the core. and NO END IN SIGHT.
Let's understand that even if they are stripped of their law enforcement most of these corrupt individuals turn to private investigation and abused that power friends in law enforcement.
A dirty copy by any other name would smell as rank?
I am surprised it is on ABC
Whoa! You can't even make this up...
I hope the fingerprints of the disgraced officers are also on the Brady List. Can not change fingers.
@abc15 the phoenix police charged with me armed robbery when i ordered a sandwich at jersey mikes, the employee grabbed me and wouldn't let go, then i pepper sprayed the employee to get them off me, i even yelled let go of me and they wouldn't, i had no choice. the phoenix prosecutor has video evidence and will not release it to my lawyer, they are charging me solely on the police report. the police report doesn't say anything about the employee grabbing me and not letting go of me. i did not leave the store with anything, my meal was ruined and the sandwich was ripped out of my hand by the employee. they sent a fugitive task force team to my apartment, they tackled me and shoved my head into the ground. i was in jail for 3 days, sleep deprived, they didn't let me sleep. there were a few good cops but some police are straight psychopaths. judge bingert signed a warrant over a sandwich, probably didn't even look at the video and believed the false police report. my lawyer said police don't lie on police reports and to just take a plea. video doesn't lie and they won't bring it forth as evidence.
These kind of pernicious psychopath and lunatic kops should get life in prison.. Bottom line.
O no its JUST A FEW BAD APPLES RIGHT ?
Baker’s dozen
They look after each other a legal gang of crooks
brady listed officer, fed, state, local... should bar them for life from LEO work nation wide.
The 'Brady' aka James Beasley list scandal is generally very embarrassing for all levels of police in the country.
Ironically, the police are responsible for the security of the US state.
The 'Brady' list scandal is a small example but showing the world how ( fundamentally ) weak and corrupt US national security is.
Maybe, reform is needed to prevent long-term impacts.
You are clearly ignorant of how government is structured in the U.S. If you are a U.S. citizen, this is reprehensible. You can start correcting this deficiency by studying the U.S. Constitution, paying particular attention to the 10th amendment.
In any case, you should cease criticizing the structure when you do not understand the structure. Go ahead and offer your opinion on police misconduct-that’s easy for anyone to understand. But you’re embarrassing yourself when you describe police duties and responsibilities for national security.
It’s funny how you newscasters keep claiming that you’re the one that broke the story you’re not
Shameful.
AND PAID FOR BY EVERY TAX PAYER ................ ALL GOVERNMENT CRIMES AND CRIMINALS ARE PAID FOR BY CIVILIANS , WHICH IS ALSO SHAMEFUL . EVERYONE DOES EVIL WHO WILLINGLY PARTICIPATES IN THIS COMPLETELY CORRUPT SYSTEM .
Good luck taxpayers. Corruption and crimes which leads to retirement or resigning and you pay the bill.
good reporting
Wow. Just wow.
what?? he's not ACTUALLY a gangster from a movie, and all he did was not file paperweork in a timely manner. Wow what??
@@EveryoneIsStupidButMe I never thought he was actually a gangster WTH 😆😆😆😆
@@EveryoneIsStupidButMe wow at the fact that as a citizen I'm supposed to take law enforcement seriously. Not that I had to explain my comment but there you go ! 😁
Justice system??? Hahahahahaha!!!!!!! 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
so anyone convicted where he was involved in the case now has a grounds for appeal as the prosecution did not disclose all exculpatory evidence, why don't ABC 15 track them down, inform them and report on the fall out this breach of procedure results in? really hold a magnifying glass up to police/da misconduct???
Arizona has a proud history of the dirtiest cops in the world.
Shouldn't all his arrest's be thrown out? Wannabe gangster was essentially out the terrorizing people/minorities. There are many more like him out there.
imho, more appropriate to have changed his name to "McCloskey".
Good job Dave
As a former LEO, I believe that if someone is on the Brady list. AZ POST should be notified and a certification review performed.
Luke 8:17 NKJV - For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.
That is the problem when cops police themselves!
I don’t understand how he got his name changed without disclosing the Brady violation in court to the judge. You have to reveal things to the judge when you change your name and apparently he didn’t.
Real investigative journalism!!!
What they need is many more laws so that the slipshod activities of the police authorities in failing to investigate this officer will not happen again. HA, HA, HA. There's no law that will supplement governmental misconduct or inactivity or outright failure to do their jobs.
Gangster, Gangster, Gangster, Gangster always into something. Keystone 007 double agent corleone.
Sure the prosecuter is going to torpedo his weak case..to keep their succesful court case numbers up ...immunity is just a way to lie and not get disbarred. Meanwhile people spend decades in jail for no reason😮
Typical police misconduct. of course it's a "game." Only the most naive would not expect this.
What, They’re supposed to tell his NEW job HIS past record? Give me a Break??????!!!!
Are you serious? If an officer has a misconduct history, of course, the file should follow them. What an ignorant comment.
As a lifelong resident of Arizona here's the truth this is how you get doctors and nurses and teachers and cops into the rural areas short of you killing a person or I guess raping them are assaulting them they need a warm body to fill a position so they'll nearly ignore anything when I was a child my mother used to work at a clinic the running joke was what did your doctor do to get sent here so instead of them losing their license practice they'd send them to the rural areas as penance unfortunately
Infuriating
These are the activities of a corrupt person who should not wear a badge
Should have choosen Micky Mouse.
Ths would not happen if the people higher up would stop covering up fir them . How can these people look in the mirror .
Because they are leaders,they aren't concerned with citizens.
Nothing to see here United States law enforcement serving and protecting our communities keeping criminals off the streets.
3:17
Michale corleone 😳
Original. Not.
🤺💐
Maybe he has a new name.
GOD calls them loney toons...HE LITERALLY TOLD us(2 servants) do not fear them for they are loney toons... peacemakerservant1
I swear it seems like every cop is a failed criminal !
FTP!
Only trust your self you would have a wild bear sleeping in your home
Literally proves that they go into the job wanting to be criminals with badges..
Why not them be able to get a fingerprint clearance card up-to-date and they’re background check investigated by the FBI
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TALK TO HIM , HES A LIAR .
They shouldn’t be able to get their pension
Arizona lies it’s a red state lol! Lie and go high
Th people of Arizona... and the rest of the country for that matter... are operating under a flawed premise.
We all still believe that police officers... actually everyone associated with law enforcement... are the undeniably 'Good Guys'... the heroes.
It isn't always true... but police are still afforded special consideration... even when it isn't deserved.
Like all cops dont lie.
Nothing wierd about changing your name to Michael Corleone 😐...Psycho
Im changing my name to Donald Trump
😂😂😂😂😂
Yawn! Who cares!! Blah blah blah
Yawn, yawn, don't fall off the rocker.
