HOLDING POLICE ACCOUNTABLE: Officer hopped to multiple departments after reported issues, lawsuits

Рет қаралды 281,555

13 күн бұрын

Not long after a Frankfort police detective’s reported warrantless entry into a home led to dismissed charges and strong words from a judge last summer, he was able to get a job at a different agency in another county. It wasn’t the first time he was accused of similar behavior.
Larry “Guss” Curtis worked at the Frankfort Police Department for five years, and his personnel file there shows his supervisor reported a number of issues. But, the incidents that led to two federal lawsuits against Curtis don’t appear to be among the issues documented in the file.

Ending qualified immunity is useless unless we also prohibit indemnification. Ending qualified immunity will just make it easier to sue in civil court, but what good is that if the city/town always indemnifies them anyway?

If I were an officer that had to constantly worry about my good faith efforts resulting in jail/prison or a lawsuit, I would think twice before risking my life or endangering myself to get a violent criminal off the street, narcan a drug overdose, risk breaking ribs giving someone cpr…. There are bad actors in every single profession. Officers aren’t paid an exorbitant salary that could justify the danger/risk. I absolutely think those that abuse their power should be punished but I can’t even fathom how many criminals would file Lawsuits anytime they were arrested.

Absolutely! Had the representative from DCF just barged in and the cops came, that person would most likely have been arrested and charged with home invasion. This ID10T was armed when he did it so he should be charged with armed home invasion. But no, he's a cop, he did 6 months of academy training so we'll protect him as hard as we can. The covering up of these bad cops makes it harder on all good cops and is exactly why no one respects any of them anymore. Criminals are rampant in their ranks.

The Federal government needs to step in and try to prevent this type of police abuse!

@newton.whippleberry 11 күн бұрын

So the federal government is benevolent and will clean up corruption? The more you consolidate authority and power, the more you'll see abuses of power. The answer is for citizens to know their rights, video everything, and have the backbone to expose abuses. The federal government is not the solution. Giving them more power will backfire badly, as it has in every other example in history.

Citizens should have the legal rights to defend themselves from unlawful entry by way of right to bare arms.

A couple years ago we just got rid of a cop like this in Pinal County that have gone from six different agencies before he was fired and arrested for assault.

They could easily stop bad cops from skipping from one station to another by permanently removing their certification and barring them from obtaining certification ever again. Also, make these bad cops pay the lawsuits themselves taking the burden off the taxpayer. The officer in question here is a habitual offender and surely would, and possibly be, end up eventually in prison.

Somebody in his Chain of command was protecting him. That's why he was not reported. They'll hide behind "Ongoing Litigation" or "Ongoing Investigation"" until they settle the lawsuits. DO NOT forget this story. Follow up on it, regularly. This guy is a Rogue Cop and should never work in Policing again. Keep him in the spotlight and maybe he won't be.

@cotycampbell7239 11 күн бұрын

They won't comment due to ongoing litigation, but when it's over, they still don't answer questions. And if they do at all, it's just copslaining, half-truths, and shifting blame.

I love when lawyers representing cops say that you just saw a video but what you saw isn't real

The other officer "felt" uncomfortable, but not enough to arrest the officer trying to extort the boat repair guy. Take note people, they protect each other even when one is committing crimes in their presence. There's a video of cops raiding a home, with a cop who's clearly tripping on some high potency drugs and not one of 5 cops wants to acknowledge it. It's called a pattern of practice, and it's been built into their toxic sub culture. The solution is easy, elected officials need to start being removed for allowing attorney generals and district attorneys to not prosecute title 18 section 242, then start removing prosecutors who fail to charge police in criminal matters. Then go after the individual departments. Elected officials also need to add legislation that removes qualified immunity, and criminalized unionization of government jobs. Then these cops will start following the law. It's only once their legal protections are removed will any incentive to improve begin, body cameras have only made the issue more viewable. Chiefs still aren't firing bad cops, prosecutors aren't charging, the FBI isn't investigating, attorney generals don't care, and it starts from the top down.
