Officer "with PTSD" fired....

I wonder what would happen if Joe Citizen exhibited the same behavior towards a police officer? Where are the criminal charges?

I wondered that myself. After all he did threaten to kill the man.

I hate to say this, but some of the cops in Canton, Ohio live by a different code of ethics. A few years back we had an incident here that I think made the national news because of the circumstances surrounding it. It involved Canton Police Officer Bobby Cutts. Thousands of people around here took place in combing the area for his girlfriends body. You can read about it here. Disappearance and murder of Jessie Davis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It has made me wonder about the Canton PD since. I live near there in the next county, but I work in that country.

THIS IS FROM BUCKEYE FIREARMS ASSOCIATION:


Given the fact that The Repository has uncovered numerous complaints against Officer Harless dating back to 2000, it is difficult to reconcile the union president's attempts to claim the problem started in 2003, and it is even more of a stretch to claim that "nobody realized" the problems with Harless.

Adams also did not attempt to explain how Harless, who in September was deemed by the union to be so mentally "disabled" that he was unable to attend his own disciplinary hearing, and who also failed to attend a rescheduled hearing in December, was competent enough to testify at a murder trial on November 29, in which the accused was ultimately convicted.

Disgraced former police officer Daniel Harless can't have it both ways.

If he is well-enough to testify in a murder trial, in which the defendant was ultimately convicted, he was certainly well-enough to show up to his hearing a week later, and certainly not eligible for an appeal based on a supposed disability.

On the other hand, if Harless continues to claim that he is mentally disabled by PTSD, one wonders how long it will take for the convicted killer's attorney to file an appeal based on Harless' self-admitted incompetence and possibly get his client's conviction overturned.
