In this video, the aggressive officer can be heard saying that he will ensure all the "transients" are brought to this hospitals ED since they won't cooperate after being told the administrators and privacy officer are on their way.

Original Crash (graphic):

Interesting note about Alex, she was a 2x Olympian, US Ski Team member, and national champion is Slalom and GS.

Wait until you lose an immediate family member who was an LEO to on-the-job gun violence before you tell me I'm overreacting. The statement was an extremely insensitive thing to say about the people who risk their lives on a daily basis to make sure you stay safe.

Sorry this happened to you. I agree the above comment was delivered poorly. However, I think they just wanted to share the strange article.

Very interesting read. These are the documents from the investigative panel for the SLPD that found both officers had violated policy.

I'd like to see what was redacted.

So they were in violation of policy.

Now what, a slap on the wrist? í ½í¹ƒ
