CRAZY COP IN CANTON, OHIO

[Curtis]

That's a good question eye shot.  About 35 years ago when I was a young "long hair" I got the quote "we were looking for another vehicle that matched your vehicles description" as the reason they stopped me.  I always wondered if that was legit, but I'll never know for sure.

From hanging out with LEOs at the range and BSing with them, 99 44/100s are legit.

What surprises me about Ohio cop is how old he is and how long he has been a cop.  Usually, from what I have seen, by that point in their career they have mellowed out and learned to exercise, if not common sense, at least self control.

The Ca policeman almost looks fake or for the camera . But I hope not.

I think he was just a veteran cop who knew how to read people and size up situations.  He knows himself, he doesn't have to prove anything to himself or anyone else.  I've known a lot of cops like that.

I hope you are right , I would like to think he was that good.

Here is another example of this psychopath in action. Granted the situation is somewhat different but he still displays the same high standards of "profesional" behaviour.  I have no doubt this thug will keep his job.

Canton will be safer if this officer is fired, or - should he remain in city employ? - moved to a position where he does not have access to firearms or arrest powers.

He's rude. He is contemptuous & condescening. He is insulting. He acts the way he acts because he's pretty much been able to do it with impunity. The people he's dealing with are sufficiently intimidated - they're got a weapon pointed at them? - that they make the mistake of even answering his questions. The shouldn't answer. They shouldn't even look at him. ON THE OTHER HAND... refusing to answer this cretin's questions might have gotten them killed (or tazed, if they were lucky?)

Dan Harless behaves this way - in large part, I'll guess - because he has a pretty well-founded expectation of getting away with it.

If ever a thug with severe mental issues were given free reign to a gun, over innocent people. This would surely be it.
This man should be in a mental institution undergoing treatment. The fools that put him in the position he holds should be stomped to a greasy spot. 
Across the Nation. This is average.

you  really brought out the bigger  issue


the fact  he remains  on the job  is a more serious problem than he is


he is just a thug  nutcase....at the tax payers expence
my  apology  to you thugs out there for that comparison
when  cops like that verstep the law....some one else  will  overstep the law

Apparently the police don't want to release their video of homeless man beaten to death by Fullerton police.

Perhaps they're hoping this will die down, and back to business as usual?

My best guess. Taxpayer funds will be used to buy off the city council and the pyre of injustice will receive the videos. (Union)
Usually when a man in the position of the Chief refuses to cooperate with those above him he has already received their blessings. (Union)
Only a long sustained fight by the citizens, seeking justice, will sometimes prevail.

I'll bet you all the money I have and don't have, if it weren't filmed and if it weren't posted on youtube, Officer Harless would get away with it (again?) and we would never have heard about it. Believe it.

Not only are you right but Harless was in trouble before for ----NOT HAVING THE DASH CAM ON DURNING A STOP!
Makes you wonder how many people are walking around with some lumps on their head or tazed and maced with nothing but their word against a COPS!

  It's like that on the tv show cops. Put your hands on your head, your hands behind your back, your hands on the car. It's like Simon says do this do that. OH don't talk, I said don't talk- whats your name- don't talk, then five cops jump on him.

This is so true. The TV Show COPS is an archive of footage that is showing where are "protect and serve" guys are heading.  I cant watch that show.  An even better one are these cop shows that feature lady cops.  There is a good looking blonde on one of these shows that clearly has her power meter maxed out.
 
The funny thing is, americans watch this show (including the criminals- its a highly watched show in our prison) and think of it as prime time entertaiment.  Do you not realize peopel that this sh*t is real?  Im not talking baout the raids where scumbags are getting face planted on the floor, im talking baout the every day joe that gets exposed to the BS the police are giving them.

FYI - Officer Dan Harless, the LEO who threatened to kill a citizen, and cussed him out and abused the man - his union has ridden to his rescue. They wanted an indefinite delay of investigation, saying that Officer Dan was suffering from PTSD.

One wonders - is the citizen who was threatened with summary execution in the middle of the night, DID HE suffer from PTSD as a result?

Would any of us even be ALIVE if we'd talked to 'Officer' Harless, the way he talked to the CCW?

City has agreed to a 90 day delay, to help 'Officer' Harless get better so that he can try to wiggle his way out of a situation that would have gotten any of us imprisoned, if we'd survived the encounter.

the voters should be the only union  the government employees need


cops like this pose a bigger threat to the community than drug dealers


its clear that  HARLESS  well being is placed ahead of the citizens


its clear  HARLESS  is a liability not an asset


HARLESS  is  not OWED a job just because he has problems
if  he is  OWED a job,,,,then let him be a garbage collector
dog catcher would even been too good for him
