Tampa Police Chief says officer heard in profanity laced video will remain on the job

he is trying to pick fights with people on the street acting like he is tough. He knows he can punch citizens and if they hit back they go to jail. they don't have the right to even defend themselves against and assault by police. a written reprimand is a joke.

Why would you fire an officer for that? Honestly.

I am all for getting bad cops off the streets, but a cop fired for swearing? Shouldn't we pick our battles?

Let him do what he does and give the man a raise these scum suckers only understand their way of talking not educated talking!!!!

NAACP wants all cops fired but refuses to help the community out with anything positive or uplifting. Wait till around March 2024 the democratic party always donations to them so they can spread their hatred

Other people have bad days also and what happens, they are still put in jail. The chief of police should be replaced with his white supremacist remark, bad day.

Why SHOULD HE BE FIRED???? You mean to tell me that these people who are criticizing him have never use profanity before? Plus we can’t even hear what was said. I want to see the whole story before I make judgment calls.

Nice try, WFLA, but the fact you won't even play the video tells us everything we need to know. Officer is innocent and probably should have used more aggression and possibly force against the unruly mob.

This is what strong labor unions get you… hothead cops transferred to abuse others where they haven't been caught abusing their power yet, instead of what is best for the community.

The courts have held that cops are paid liars. Forgive me if I don't believe that your tyrant is "remorseful" about anything other than being caught.

and you wonder why people want to defund these jack boot thugs

That's bullshit, just one tyrant covering for another, don't be surprised if something bad happens to that domestic terrorists, then see what the head tyrant jas to say.
We're not going to take that anymore.

That is the standard way the TPD and the HCSO speak to the public,. If any officer manages to speak a single sentence without dropping the F-bomb, they slipped up.

Ask judge Rick Howard how a citrus co, fl sex crime detective repeatedly raped a 7 year old child & got away with it!!! Yes they had collected his semen from child victim. Lynn Tabb sex crime detective citrus county FL

He's Human,I don't know how the heck these cops deal with these AHoles.

That’s a hard job yes he’s human with the way things are now how can we keep sane there’s good and bad where just hearing a little about this person one incident I wouldn’t do that job would you

Almost all cop's cuss.

Now he gets to terrorize the white people for a while. At least he didn't pull a Elijah McClain on them.

These cops are mostly dealing with scum that would kill and lie , they should be lucky that cursing is all he did. NAACP should be focused on cleaning up their own people and stop blaming others

He should be terminated they were in my day
… no excuses

.

As a black person I can say the NAACP is bunch of grifter. That crowd don't respect kind words or gentle talking but they shouldn't be taunted either.

BS just aother bad apple

Why are cops allowed to be insane? Imagine a firefighter showing up to save you and every other word is the f word. Imagine your home inspector casually being racist. Cops have no home training.

Yeah bad cop.

I mean, he didn't violate constitutional rights like other cops. Don't forget they are people too and you really don't know what kind of day they are having.

Regardless, this is why anger management training should be part of the base training though. So it doesn't blow up and become something more than just words.

He is a good chief. He is a professional "COPSPLAINER". That's why they hired him. Remorseful my ass. 👎🐷👎

Of course they did not fire him they really do protect their own The Thin Blue Line is definitely real that's why as a normal law-abiding 61 year old Caucasian male I have no trust in our Police Department whatsoever it's a crooked system run by crooked people

The cop did nothing wrong. He should be promoted.

Fair enough, it’s not a crime
