WHAT HAPPENS TO COPS AFTER THEY GET FIRED GETTING CAUGHT
SLEEPING WITH PROSTITUTES WHILE THEY ARE ON THE CLOCK, OR
REFUSING TO RESPOND TO CALLS WHEN THEIR OTHER OFFICERS ARE AT
RISK?
WELL, THEY GET FIRED, AND THEN LATER HIRED AT OTHER,
SMALLER DEPARTMENTS.
AT LEAST THOSE WERE THE FINDINGS OF AN
EXPOSÉ DONE BY THE WASHINGTON POST, WHICH WAS EXCELLENT IN
TERMS OF INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING, AND FOUND THAT COPS
WHO WERE FIRED FROM THE NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENT WERE
LATER HIRED AT SMALLER DEPARTMENTS NEARBY.
HERE IS WHAT THEY FOUND --
>>MIND YOU THAT OUT OF THOSE 53 THERE HAVE BEEN CASES OF POLICE
OFFICERS WHO THEN GOT FIRED AT OTHER DEPARTMENTS, AND THEN
REHIRED AT OTHER DEPARTMENTS, AND THEN FIRED AGAIN, AND HIRED
AGAIN -- IT'S INSANE.
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE DETAILS, AND
THEY DID PROFILE A COUPLE OF THE OFFICERS, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO
GET INTO EVERY SINGLE ONE THEY PROFILE BUT THE OFFICER THAT
STOOD OUT THE MOST TO ME WAS CAREY DYKES, AND WHEN I TELL YOU
HIS STORY, IT'S JUST UNBELIEVABLE --
>>ANOTHER FINDING THROUGH THIS REPORT IS THAT SMALLER
DEPARTMENTS USUALLY DON'T, OR SAY THEY DON'T, HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO TRAIN NEW POLICE OFFICERS, AND IT'S CHEAPER TO
HIRE PEOPLE WHO'VE ALREADY BEEN TRAINED.
SO THAT GOES TO THE
POINT THAT KEEPS COMING UP AGAIN WHEN POLICE BRUTALITY STORIES
MAKE HEADLINES, THERE ARE ISSUES WITH TRAINING AND IN SOME CASES
POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAVE BEEN FIRED BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN
FOLLOWING GUIDELINES OR IN SOME CASES HAVE BROKEN LAWS GET
REHIRED BECAUSE SMALLER DEPARTMENT ARE LIKE, OH, HE WAS
TRAINED AT SOME POINT LONG AGO.
>>WHEN THEY SAY POLITICAL THEY DON'T MEAN SOMEONE WAS FERVENTLY
REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT.
SURE THERE COULD BE A COUPLE OF CASES
OF OFFICE POLITICS, BUT LARGELY THEY MEAN THIS GUY BEAT THE
LIVING CRAP OUT OF SOMEONE AND I GUESS HE GOT CAUGHT AND IT GOT
IN THE MEDIA, SO IT GOT ALL POLITICAL AND THEY HAD TO LET
HIM GO, BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO LET HIM BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF PEOPLE
IN OUR DEPARTMENT.
>>LET'S TALK ABOUT CAREY DYKES, THE OFFICER I TALKED ABOUT
EARLIER.
HE HAD BEEN FIRED BY THE DEPARTMENT IN NEW ORLEANS
BECAUSE HE WAS CAUGHT UP IN A STING OPERATION, THEY HAD REASON
TO SUSPECT THAT HE WAS USING HIS TIME AS A COP TO SLEEP WITH
PROSTITUTES --
>>NOW, THOSE WERE SOME OF THE INITIAL ISSUES THAT THE
DEPARTMENT EXPERIENCED WITH HIM --
>>SO THE
DEPARTMENT DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE THIS, TO THEIR
CREDIT.
AND THROUGH THEIR INVESTIGATION, THEY ACTUALLY
FOUND THAT --
>>THAT WAS EVIDENCE THAT ESSENTIALLY REINFORCED WHAT THE
WOMAN CAME FORWARD WITH.
THEN FROM THE STING OPERATION THEY
FOUND THAT, YES, HE WAS INDEED USING THAT TIME TO SLEEP WITH
PROSTITUTES, AND --
>>SO HE WAS CALLED IMMEDIATELY TO COME HELP, HE IGNORED THAT
CALL.
THEN GUNFIRE BROKE OUT, HE IGNORED THAT CALL AS WELL.
THINGS GOT SO BAD THAT SOME OF THE POLICE OFFICERS WERE
ACTUALLY CONCERNED THAT MAYBE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM, LIKE
LET'S GO CHECK IN, WHY ISN'T HE RESPONDING TO THE CALLS?
THEY GO
TO HIS CAR AND THEY FIND THAT HE'S ASLEEP.
>>THERE'S A HOST OF ISSUES HERE.
THE MOST MINOR ONE WAS ONE
WE HAVEN'T EVEN DISCUSSED HERE BUT I'M SAYING MINOR IN TERMS OF
THE TREATMENT IT'S GOTTEN, BUT IN REALITY IT'S PERHAPS THE MOST
IMPORTANT ONE, IS THAT HE WAS SUED FOR ASSAULTING PEOPLE
SEVERAL TIMES.
FOR BRUTALITY.
ONE TIME HE ASSAULTED A PREGNANT
WOMAN, THEY DID A SMALL PAYOUT FOR HER, AND ANOTHER TIME HE
BRUTALLY BEAT A MAN WITH NIGHTSTICKS.
SO THAT THESE DAYS
HAS BECOME A MINOR PROBLEM, HE BEATS THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF
PEOPLE, AND AS A COP WE'VE EMPOWERED HIM WITH A GUN AND A
BADGE, ETC., BUT IT'S EASIER TO CATCH HIM ON THE OTHER STUFF.
BECAUSE FOR COPS, THEY ARE LIKE, THE PREGNANT WOMAN SEEMED A
LITTLE UNRULY, THAT'S WHY I KICKED HER ASS.
BUT IT'S HARDER
TO MAKE EXCUSES WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING IN YOUR PATROL CAR AND
ANOTHER COP TAKES A PICTURE OF IT WHILE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE
HELPING OTHER COPS WHO ARE GETTING SHOT AT. AND BY THE WAY,
ONE OF THE REASONS THIS GUY IS KICKED OUT WHERE AS OTHERS ARE
PROTECTED IS YOU ARE ENDANGERING FELLOW COPS' LIVES, AND THAT
THEY HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR.
>>EXACTLY, AND KEEP IN MIND THIS IS SOMEONE USING HIS TIME
GETTING PAID BY TAXPAYER MONEY TO BREAK THE LAW.
I THINK
PROSTITUTION SHOULD BE LEGAL BUT KEEP IN MIND HE SLEEPING WITH
PROSTITUTES, WHICH IS A CRIME.
HE IS CLEARLY BREAKING THE LAW,
AND YOU WOULD THINK HE'S GOTTEN FIRED, AND THAT'S IT, HIS POLICE
CAREER IS OVER.
BUT NO, IT WASN'T OVER, HE GOT HIRED BY A
DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT --
>>SO HE GOT
HIRED AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
>>THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND SHERIFF DEPARTMENTS HIRE
PEOPLE FOR TWO REASONS.
ONE ANA TOLD YOU ABOUT AT LENGTH,
BECAUSE IT'S EASIER AND THEY ARE ALREADY CERTIFIED, ANOTHER ONE
IS THERE WILLING TO TAKE A PAY CUT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET HIRED
ANYWHERE ELSE.
OH, YOU ARE GOING TO WORK FOR CHEAP BECAUSE HE
USED TO BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF PEOPLE AND SLEEP WITH
PROSTITUTES, AND BY THE WAY NOT HAVE THE DECENCY TO PAY THEM,
WELL YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE COMMITTEE.
BUT HIM
I'M KIND OF GLAD HE WASN'T ON THE BEACH, I'D RATHER HAVE HIM
SLEEPING IN HIS CAR THAN PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY.
BUT
COME ON, WHEN PEOPLE ARE GETTING SHOT AT, ESPECIALLY FELLOW
OFFICERS, GET UP ALREADY.
JESUS CHRIST.
>>SO HE GETS HIRED AT THIS COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND ACTUALLY
APPLIES FOR A SECOND POLICING JOB --
>>SO THAT
IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT HAPPENS.
AND IN LOUISIANA THEY
HAVE A CERTIFICATION PROGRAM, IF YOU WANT TO BE A COP YOU HAVE TO
HAVE CERTAIN CREDENTIALS, YOU HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED TO BE A
COP.
IF YOU DO ANYTHING WRONG, IF YOU DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL, YOU
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DECERTIFIED, THAT WAY YOU DON'T GET HIRED AT
OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
THE WASHINGTON POST FOUND THAT IN
THE LAST DECADE NOT A SINGLE COP HAS BEEN DECERTIFIED.
>>OF COURSE, BECAUSE THEY PROTECT THEIR OWN, RIGHT OR
WRONG.
LAST THING ON THIS IS POLICE UNIONS ARE AN EXCELLENT
CASE FOR AND AGAINST UNIONS.
MAN, THAT UNION PROTECTS ITS OWN
MORE THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
IF YOU ARE IN THAT UNION,
YOU ARE MADE FOR LIFE.
YOU KNOW MANY TIMES THIS GUY, DYKES,
VIOLATED POLICE DEPARTMENT RULES?
17 TIMES.
AND THEY STILL
COULDN'T FIRE HIM.
THEY HAD TO GO INTO A STING IN KETCHUM AT
THE MOTEL WITH THE HOOKERS AND SLEEPING, THEY HAD TO DO ALL THE
STUFF TO FINALLY FIRE HIM.
SO UNIONS DO PROTECT YOU.
ON THE
OTHER HAND SOMETIMES THEY PROTECT THESE COPS ON THE
EXPENSE OF EVERYONE ELSE.
UPSIDE AND DOWNSIDE.
BUT THEY ARE
STRONG, AND WHEN YOU HAVE A STRONG UNION IT PROTECTS THE
WORKERS.
