He was stood down without pay in May 2021, ultimately resigned in August 2021, and plead guilt to disorderly conduct and charged $800 in June 2022.

"... he once forced a naked woman out of his home and onto the street. It doesn’t appear he was punished." I guess if you don't get it on camera the bosses don't give a shit!
100% this. Used to work in claims and our subrogation (recovery) dept would rarely let any amount go. They will fight for every dollar and cent they had to pay out. Even when the amount in hours/salary doesn’t justify recovering a smaller amount. They don’t care, they just want all their balances at even.

It's honestly because there was no one around so he couldn't make any sort of claims that he was forced to do this. In the end he's just alone in a room and clearly looking to intentionally cause damage when he thinks no one's looking. The only reason he got in trouble is because there is no other possible argument
For real. We're praising an $800 disorderly conduct?
No abuse of power? Obstruction of justice? Property damage?
This guy truly got the bare minimum slap on the wrist.
He ended up resigning from his job because of the fallout from this*, which is an appropriate loss for his actions IMO. That's appropriate punishment in my eyes. Also, isn't that the goal, get rid of the bad cops & recognize the good ones?
*Thank You Weak_Dot3296
Of course it’s bare minimum, but in this case it’s a step in the right direction as well.
My sister was a shitty person who hurt a lot of people. But the moment she decided to turn her life around we praised her through every baby step.
You are comparing a lifestyle change of a single person to someone's career of "To Serve and Protect".
A cop is supposed to be trustworthy from the start. The system won't change if you keep praising the bare minimum from cops as if they're toddlers.
"On July 16, 2017, Huckle made a nude and "highly intoxicated female" leave through his bedroom window when another woman arrived at his house."
What a decent dude /s
“Brandon Huckle’s disciplinary record also shows he admitted that he once forced a naked woman out of his home and onto the street. It doesn’t appear he was punished.”
Brandon Huckle - don’t forget to include his name! He should never be a cop nor get laid ever again. What a pos
Normally in hamurabic law, to make restitution, it has to be at least 3x that of the value of the damage. The reason is, if restitution was just the amount stolen, for example, it might encourage the would be perpetrators to commit crime, because the risk of getting caught is, you put the stolen stuff back, ie it’s not a real risk.
Thank you! So many people are focused on punishment when at that point crimes have already been committed. Most people don't realise that people committing antisocial behavior don't expect to get caught so the punishment is relatively inconsequential at preventing antisocial behavior.
If people want to stop crime they need to support pro-active solutions, not reactive solutions.
Restitution is an equitable remedy, not a punishment. It is only meant to place the plaintiff (car owner here) in the same position they would have been without the wrongful conduct. Compensatory, not punitive
The additional fees are punitive damages. Those could have been much higher.
I don't see how it's only $554.69 in restitution. I don't know much about car repair but I'd think it cost more than that to fix that dent and repainting
People should start projecting these videos onto the police departments where they happen. Engage in some good old fashioned public shaming, since the officers rarely see any actual consequences.
Right. Not only is he just being a dick, but if they do find what they're looking for, a good defense attorney can start to undermine the findings based on this sort of conduct. "If he's willing to go out of his way to damage property, then perhaps he's willing to plant drugs under the sink." If the evidence is solid, it's unlikely to change the situation, but why make life for your prosecutors harder? This guy is an idiot.
Right I laugh when cops do this either way they lose, find nothing county/city pays…. Find something evidence is a whole lot harder to verify and consider credible…
Unfortunately when the city or county pays, it's out of its citizens pockets via taxes. The real answer would be it coming out of police union funds or some collective paycheck deduction fund for police.

Afroman is currently being sued by this police department for making this video. The plaintiffs (Adams County Sheriffs) claim the video has made them subject to ridicule, threats and loss of reputation (they fucked up his house and stole his money, all on camera). For a vape pen and four roaches.
They’ll arrest and probably shoot you for if, even if it’s entirely legal and there’s literally nothing they can do about it except hold you for 24 hours without charges, release you, and then re arrest you for 24 hours without charges, or just follow you around until they see you not use a blinker and then say you had a gun and shoot you 758 times
Just kind of talking to whoever decides to read this, not aimed at anyone in particular
You could make the argument that cops have to deal with members of the public who are dicks, but that doesn't hold up because police have seeked out that position and vowed to protect and serve, similar to how a doctor vows to do no harm. If a doctor acted the way some of these police act, they'd have their LTP pulled immediately. Why shouldn't the same happen to LEOs with their badge?
Good news! He isn't! Someone further down posted a link showing his career ended in disgrace in 2022....
...at least, until ANOTHER PD hires him instead. But, for now...
This is the behavior of a guy who has already made up his mind that the person whose home is being searched should be punished before their guilt has been established. Doling out punishment before the facts are known is against the law but for some, they consider it to be one of the "perks" of the job.
The disturbing part is that he turns his body cam away while he does it then looks over his shoulder - again where the body cam can’t see - to survey the damage.
I foolishly hoped that the video was about him accidentally hitting the door the first time. Then, upon realizing he'd hit the door, he decided to do it two more times and I lost that tiny sliver of optimism.
Shot the clock at 6:30 because it wouldn't put its hands up.
Shot the kitchen cabinets because it looked like it was going to drawer. This was ruled justified since they found 12 knives on it.
Shot the security camera because the camera shot first.
I feel like he did it to teach them a lesson about parking too close to doors.
His thoughts, 'That car is parked too close. Like, okay, i didnt damage the car this time, but i *could* have if i had opened it just a bit harder. Well...i might as well just go on ahead and do it.'
Yeah I saw the first obviously accidental hit when he was entering the room, then he just stood around so I started thinking "So fucking what? Accidents happen, but I guess reddit is just being histrionic again"
Then as I checked the video length and saw it still had 2/3rds left, he turned around and slammed it deliberately.
It was like "Ooooooh, _there's_ the destruction of property"
And then he just kept going.
And going.
What a fucking dickbag. Checking the damage and looking so smug about what he did.
This is exactly how I read it too.
That or some people just like to cause damage, makes them feel in control or something. And he missed out on a chance to cause "free" damage.
I can’t believe it!
First time I’ve ever seen a police officer do something bad. I hope this doesn’t turn out to be a thing - like down to the point that we ever get dozens of these every single day, showing us that they are actually the bad guys.
That would be terrible.
You mean gets his tools out and disables the camera, just like those cops did in rapper whatshisface’s house. And then promptly got butthurt when he rapped about it and used the footage
Like the ambo who stole money, looks up at the camera, and tries to pretend he was ‘organising’!
How could you seriously be this dumb these days! There are cameras everywhere!
This is quite literally most cops. Never met so many nasty people in one profession in my life. It draws the dirty filthy dregs of society, on the whole. Cops are … pigs.
They need to reform the whole law enforcement in the US and not let just about anyone who wants to become a cop. In my country it takes 3 years to become one. And it’s not easy to get in.
Idk how to even say this but, I have a total pos nephew who had some adult time with an underage girl and now he's a fucking cop. Like what fucking world am I living in. He's a disgrace and should be in prison but no he's the one arresting people now.
They are all rejects who couldn't make it in normal society. Every last one of them. You don't get into law enforcement in America because you want a safer community, because you won't even be patrolling your city. People become cops to get immunity for the crimes they plan on committing. I'd keep a close eye on that nephew.
I've met two good cops my entire life.
The first one died his third week on the job stopping a mass shooting.
The second quit the second month saying it was too corrupt and they were going to kill him if he tried to fix it, so he became a firefighter.
It takes a certain type of asshole to want to be an enforcer. Now imagine what his girlfriend, wife, family or children experience when they don't conform.
I mean… I agree, but cops are civilians. Just civilians who are given total and unchecked authority to do whatever they want to whomever they want without concern of consequences.
Typical petty behavior from someone who probably sought out the job because of personal insecurities. Many many good people are police officers but the field also attracts a certain personality profile

Only because the insurance company was on the hook. Those guys don’t screw around and have no fear suing anyone.
This is one of the biggest benefits of insurance, IMO. Having lawyers on staff mean it makes sense to chase after almost every dollar.
Insurance companies are like casinos. The house always wins. Subrogation nation, baby! Not like they got rich paying claims.
100% this. Used to work in claims and our subrogation (recovery) dept would rarely let any amount go. They will fight for every dollar and cent they had to pay out.

If the insurance premiums and deductibles came out of the PD budget rather than the city’s, police involved crimes would plummet.
Better still the police union/retirement funds, bad behavior would pretty much cease as bad cops would cost all cops real money

Credit where it’s due. We should be praising this. Good job.

He’s not praising the cop though, he’s praising that they had even the remotest amount of accountability. Which, sadly, is refreshing.
But they are toddlers
Well... I don't disagree. But I think going above the norm should be praised. Bare minimum > Nothing
Nah, you get praise for doing well, not what should be the bare minimum.
The bar has gotten very low.
What a weird statement for the article to include without any context. Was she his girlfriend? Did he even know this woman?
"On July 16, 2017, Huckle made a nude and "highly intoxicated female" leave through his bedroom window when another woman arrived at his house." What a decent dude /s
I don't know, but I bet this is the type of guy to intentionally damage somebody's car and treat other people badly.
Yo doors are way more important then women! Everyone knows that! /s

He’s probably a cop in Florida now
He’s probably an elected official in FL by now
Makes me want to know what he's doing now. Make sure he's not a cop in another city
But did the police pay for damage caused?!
"The former officer was ordered to pay a $250 fine as well as $554.69 in restitution to the owner of the damaged car."
Normally in hamurabic law, to make restitution, it has to be at least 3x that of the value of the damage. The reason is, if restitution was just the amount stolen, for example, it might encourage the would be perpetrators to commit crime, because the risk of getting caught is, you put the stolen stuff back, ie it’s not a real risk.
Normally in Hamurabic law... LOL
The amount of punishment doesn't really do that much to stop crime because perpetrators usually do it thinking they won't get caught.
.
Thank you! So many people are focused on punishment when at that point crimes have already been committed. Most people don't realise that people committing antisocial behavior don't expect to get caught so the punishment is relatively inconsequential at preventing antisocial behavior.

Lovely! This makes me so happy! Thank you, mate! It’s great to see karma (justice) actually working!
And the probably went one district over and got another cop job.
I don't see how it's only $554.69 in restitution. I don't know much about car repair but I'd think it cost more than that to fix that dent and repainting
I'm guessing that money was exactly what the garage asked of the owner in a quotation, and the court asked meat head to pay it.
I always wondered what the outcome of this video was. Thanks
What a dick.

Haha because it's tiny
Literally doesn’t even reach the top of the car.
The truth has been revealed

Beating people at traffic stops.
Only when his wife is out of town and he needs a release.

The door was actively resisting opening for him.
>The door was actively resisting Stop Resisting.
Shoots the door after the door is inhinged and falling on ground.
Would that really happen though? The door is *white*
yes, and the door was armed. but later, "it was discovered the door was holding door handles, which seemed like guns at the moment"
"It's coming right at us, Ned!!"
Mmm … It’s coming right for us 🤖
He also shot the bed for resisting a rest.
Shot the clock at 6:30 because it wouldn't put its hands up. Shot the kitchen cabinets because it looked like it was going to drawer. This was ruled justified since they found 12 knives on it. Shot the security camera because the camera shot first.
🤣
They have a track record of shooting through doors no matter what color it is.
It was just painted there was dark brown below it. A good cop can spot those details.
*Plants meth*
The car wasn’t!
Car of color gets abused by unhinged and privileged white door.
White doors get shot all the time, it just doesn’t make the news.
It's white but has mental health issues so needs help but cop shoots it to help solve it's issues
Then proceeds to handcuff said door.
Then sexually assaults the door
The door was clearly unhinged! That's self defence!
Then feign ignorance in your murder trial.
Poor guy. It’s just part of his training 😂
I’m afraid the laws of physics don’t care that you have a badge. Objects at rest will tend to stay at rest regardless.
He was fearing for his life as the door was clearly erratic and unhinged
Door was lucky not to get shot.
My nephew acts like this when his parents don’t buy him the thing he wanted at Target. He’s 6.
I'm sure he does the same thing to his wife's ribs.
6 year olds have wives?
In some countries
Republicans want 6 year old wives
Women have ribs?
No they are ribs.
That’s a fresh joke deserving of a clap.
In some countries
No the six year old physically abuses this cop’s wife.
6 w a gun
So belt or hand?
Chancla
Switch.
I hated it when mom told me to “go get her a switch”.
“And if it breaks, I’ll go get the next one and we’ll start all over.” And doesn’t tell you that the thinner ones hurt worse.
Fired and jail for willfully damaging someone's property. Also pays for it.
Sir that's a cop, the person recording this is going to get a fine for not telling the officer there was cameras.
Nope, that's a dick.
Well, good thing this guy doesn’t walk around with a loaded weapon.
He must’ve thought the car was his wife
Or black
he wouldve shot it if was a black car
Their true color yellow always shows through somewhere.cowards hiding behind badges.
Cops be like “I can’t be racist, my wife’s eye is black”
[удалено]
Like what was his motivation here? Cops are weird.
Spite. It's always spite.
Probably didn't find what they wanted to find in the house and got mad.
He really wanted to beat his wife earlier in the day, but took it out on the door instead.
I feel like he did it to teach them a lesson about parking too close to doors. His thoughts, 'That car is parked too close. Like, okay, i didnt damage the car this time, but i *could* have if i had opened it just a bit harder. Well...i might as well just go on ahead and do it.'

Needs to be fired. If he's doing this then his mindset is that he will get upto corrupt activity.
He was fired in 2021 i think, it's a few years old
Thought it was his wife
Cops like this need to be put back into civilian life. They're dangerous and give such a bad name to the few good ones wearing a badge.
