"I want to assure our citizens that the behavior, as demonstrated in this video, is wholly unacceptable and in complete contradiction to the professional standards we demand of our officers. As such, appropriate steps were placed in motion as dictated by our standards, policies and contractual obligations. Those steps included: The officer immediately being relieved of all duty. The incident has been referred to the Internal Affairs Bureau for what will be a complete and thorough investigation. As bad as the video indicates our officer's actions were, there is a due process procedure to follow. That process is designed in the best interest of both our employees and the citizens at large. That process will be followed in this case as in all others. Anyone shown to be in violation of our rules and regulations will be help appropriately responsible as dictated by all the facts. ~Chief Dean McKimm"

There was TWO officers involved but only one relieved of duty. The second officer although not the main aggressor is still at fault, he did nothing to defuse the situation.

I used to do ride along with a couple LEOs and could not believe the trash the had to put up with but they still maintain a professional demeanor. I believe this is true with the vast majority of LEOs but these two will make other LEO's job so much harder.
