I can’t tell if this was a cunning plan that might actually work, or if he’s just an idiot who thinks people will believe this.<\/p>\n

Recall that Daniel Harless is the Canton, OH [now former] police officer who lost his job after video evidence of him being, well, a loose cannon. After not allowing a motorist to speak, he goes berserk when the motorist finally interrupts him to inform the officer that he has a carry permit and is armed. Officer Roid Rage then lets off a litany of expletives and threats, including:<\/p>\n

\u201cas soon as I felt your gun, I should have took two steps back, pulled my Glock 40 and just put 10 bullets in your ass and let you drop. And I wouldn\u2019t have lost any sleep. Do you understand me?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was determined that he “violated rules”<\/a> and got a paid vacation until his hearing. Just before his hearing, he claimed he had PTSD<\/a> so it was postponed. His brother officers were so shocked by his behavior that they gave up their own sick time so he could be paid while waiting to be fired<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When he finally was fired<\/a>, he complained that he shouldn’t be fired just because he threatened to kill a guy for kicks.<\/p>\n

The latest on this guy is that he’s filed a series of complaints about his unfair treatment<\/a>, including a worker’s comp claim and that the city owes him money for accrued vacation and sick pay. I wonder how the officers that donated their sick time to him feel about that?<\/p>\n

Here was what really<\/i> stuck out in this article. You should really read the whole thing, but check this out:<\/p>\n

[The Arbitrator] said he believes that \u201cin comparison with other officers, the treatment of officer Harless was discriminatory.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You mean that there are other officers on the Canton Police force who 1)have acted this way, 2)have been reported\/investigated, and 3)are still on the force<\/i>? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?<\/p>\n

Some other officers have been found guilty of more serious conduct in the past and they retained their jobs, said [the arbitrator], who is on the staff of the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do believe that there is a clear hierarchy to the discipline issued in Canton (by the Police Department) and that the Harless discipline was far outside the scale,\u201d he wrote in an email.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently, no. They are not kidding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
