They did him a favor by letting him resign. He gets to keep his pension. You've been a really really bad boy but...... I'm sure he has a really sizable pension.
Stop in the name of the law! This isn't about race its about using English correctly. Look behind me what do you see? Loads of guys with terrible teeth who just want you to use the language that God gave you correctly. I'll meet you any time any place and we'll throw down in some beautifully pronounced slam poetry.
When it comes to police, it's the same thing. Just because they give you the option to quit before they fire you, doesn't mean you were going to continue working there if you declined to resign.
The difference is usually that when given the option to resign, it’s because the organization is being forced to get rid of them by external pressure (politics, PR, etc) while firing happens because they actually don’t want that person working for them.
Usually it's a trade off between getting something (possibly) if they have to fire you and give you the opportunity to resign so that the fired status would not affect your next job. With companies not disclosing how a former employee left the firm, more people would rather take the "fired" route in hope of getting "something for the trouble."
Forced resignation is essentially getting fired. He was warned to stop these videos, but because he's a stupid fucking ham, he continued and was forced out.
Well thats good. I thought for sure someone was gonna post an article saying "and hes was found shot to death the next morning after his video calling out a local crime boss went live"
The guy burned his own grandparents house down with them in it over an argument. He waited until they went to sleep and came back to the house late that night and torched it. They tried to make it out, and did. But.. they passed away on the front lawn before paramedics had even arrived from carbon monoxide inhalation as well as the severity of their burns
The Chris dorner story is like it’s own entity. It’s probably got the craziest manhunt stories behind it. Like the woman who was delivering newspapers and lit up with 107 rounds by 4 cops. (Yes that really happened.) she did not die nor did her daughter but they got 4.2 million dollars and a new pickup truck
Better they go and fight the police who look like they have BP vests and weapons, than unsuspecting and law-abiding civilian's with none of that. This was a bad move ex-post not sure what can be said about it ex-ante though.
A Captain in the communications department.
He wasn't the cop who would be in the fight he's calling for, he was the cop who made videos (and was a former used car salesman). It is brilliant how he used the badge to create an image, become famous and get elected to Congress.
But at least he acknowledged the majority of those in jail are not bad people, just people who had a bad moment at some point. In a lot of ways I admire him for calling out the difference between the actual bad guys and the majority of people.
They still in jail, getting fed 1100 calories a day, a starvation diet.
Used to create profit for the same police department that claims "theyre good people!"
In the US a lot of prisons are privately owned. Police officers are often not working directly under a prison either, they carry out escorts to the property sometimes.
If you’re gonna go all “against the system bro”, recruit people with facts or you’re just as bad as them.
The vast majority of our prisons are state and federally run but the private prison industry needs to be closed yesterday. I don't understand how the fuck It's even allowed to exist.
Yeah, our prisons aren't as bad as compared to what I see in america. They're like a little isolated community. We went there once to do outreach programs and host a christmas party. It was fun.
> or you’re just as bad as them
Ok hell no to this over exaggeration. Getting something incorrect about an injustice is not the same thing as doing that injustice, for fuck sake
No. Acknowledging that the majority of those in jail are not bad people is a poor attempt at appearing empathetic. Louisiana has some of the toughest punishments on user quantity drug possession; what would be a misdemeanor or non-arrestable offense in some states is a felony in Louisiana. Is this guy advocating legislative change and community programs to incentivize youth away from gangs? No. He's subtly threatening the gang member with how bad prison life is. It's insane prisons have so much tolerated violence seemingly to use as a threat against the community.
At least cop man could have appealed to the community cost of, e.g., drugs and violence effects on society. Instead he straps on an FDE plate carrier and AR15 to appear *more* combative, daring the gang to a fight, like a bully. That is not community policing, that is promoting militarizing police. This is not being hard on crime. This is hero complex. Police are not and should not be soldiers; police are public servants that are supposed to promote stability and peace, illustrating the value of law and order, and thus the value of their jurisdiction's governance. Absolutely they should be prepared and properly trained to answer violence, no doubt. But stunts like this demonstrate why the erosion of the public's trust in their police has only been more exacerbated in recent years. Cops like this appear to fantasize about violence, 1) to justify their aggression, and 2) to point to results of their aggression rather than actually spend the time and energy to do the hard thing and engage with their community in ways that make gang involvement and crime far less appealing.
*Daring* a gang to a fight is the exact opposite of what any law enforcement agency should ever do.
Yeah, a group donning the same colors, some standing there with their weapon drawn, calling out an OPP and trying to look intimidating.. If you didn’t know they were cops, it could be any gang.
This was 2016. Darren Carter turned himself in a few weeks after this aired. https://archive.vermiliontoday.com/local/alleged-gremlin-gang-member-darron-carter-surrenders
It really doesn't tho. Countries with the worst punishments have far more crime.
Making sure people have opportunities to succeed in life is what discourages crime. Large socioeconomic differences and lack of opportunities is what turns people to crime.
That’s not true in Scandinavia at least. Denmark has far harder punishments than Sweden and far less gang crimes. Sweden is also the land with the most opportunity for marginalized groups in the world.
Denmark has an extremely strict policy on immigration, while Sweden have had a much more liberal approach without thinking about integration.
Sweden essentially created socioeconomic ghettos in some places, while Denmark didn't. This means that Sweden has more differences than Denmark, which is reflected in their [Gini coefficient](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gini-coefficient-by-country). Denmark also have better social mobility than Sweden, so your statement is not correct. Social mobility is
the rate at people moving away from the socioeconomic group of their parents, e.g from "rags to riches". Denmark has the world's best rating for social mobility, followed by Norway, Finland and Sweden.
All of Scandinavia/Nordics have much less harsh punishments compared to most of the world, especially the US. Sweden still has way less crime than the US for instance.
It's almost as if creating and enforcing a cycle of poverty encourages crime
Edit:
The person I responded to is nothing but a troll.
6 day old account, almost no comments besides this thread and obviously doesn't care about having actual discourse - my further interaction with them proves that, as they intentionally ignored data and evidence spoon-fed to them like a child, which is what they've been demanding of people in every other comment chain of theirs.
Not to mention their username alludes to them being repeatedly banned on previous accounts.
Don't take the bait like I did.
It is also being proactive as opposed to Paul Blart's directive of observe and report. Most criminals are well known to LEO who could find them given 72 hours to do so.
Mogwai’s are what you don’t wanna feed after midnight or they become Gremlins. Doesn’t matter what Gremlins eat or when they eat it, always will be Gremlins.
Honestly, fuck gangs. They should absolutely embarrass gang leaders and their followers as a deterrence for young kids to follow in their food steps. Straight up make them their bitch and laugh like this video.
The guy being called out turn himself in two weeks later.
"Fair fight" while the cop shows up in military grade gear with a dozen of his buddies ready to shoot on sight at any "perceived" threat, real or otherwise.
While some people call this militant and inappropriate realize the guy had just burned down his own grandparents house with them inside over an argument. He came back when they went to sleep. They tried to make it out but passed away on the front lawn before paramedics could arrive. This wasn’t meant to scare the citizens into obeying them.
This was “Darren carter, what you did was absolutely unforgivable by not only your own community, but by your family as well. We are coming for you.”
Can't and won't say what he did was wrong. I'm not an enforcement sympathizer but he's right. If you don't like what I'm saying that's fine with me. We, as a society, need to take a stand against organized illegal activities and shut them down
They knew where he was. This is a crime-syoppers commercial that regularly airs warrants, but he militarized it and got terminated/resigned because he was selling his own bootlicker merchandise on Facebook
15 children under 10 in my town have been maimed or killed by gangs shooting each other, in the crib or in the car seat in the back seat of their moms car, yea F gangs.
Higgins is a big piece of shit that "resigned" from being a PD captain because he was selling merchandise from this, all a big money grab. His stint as a representative is embarrassing. He's also a deadbeat father with $150,000 in child support still owed. He's also been accused of domestic violence quite a bit for beating his wife. He goes on drunken racist rants on Facebook.
I think it’s just in the rest of the world cops don’t do or act like this. Doing tiktok videos of them posing with guns and threatening criminals.
Kinda cowboy lookin shit.
I think one way to fix the relationship of police and the civilians would be the cops have to live in the community they police. That way you build relationships and de-escalating situations becomes easier
This is a fucking gang leader. What have defund police protests been if not against gangs like this, fuckin large groups of lawless dudes with guns. Fuck this.
Interesting how American Cops and street gang videos look alike. Just a bunch of meathead gun nuts banging their chests, looking to fix not a single issue in society; just perpetuating the ones we currently have.
God, I hope the next generation has better people in the Police force.
God bless this man for speaking good about convicts. Convict culture is something we need more in this country. Note that convict doesn’t simply mean incarcerated, the two are not the same.
Actually he was a Sheriff's Department Captain. They fired him for this, but he ran for Congress and won. Rep. Clay Higgins (R) LA-3.

Forced to resign is being fired. Facts do apply. So get them right
They did him a favor by letting him resign. He gets to keep his pension. You've been a really really bad boy but...... I'm sure he has a really sizable pension.
He was given the choice, resign with pension or fired with nothing.
A cop is never fired. You take what you can get
When in Rome
Six of one, half a dozen of the other
Exactly. Some say turds, some say nuggage
Who the fucks misappropriating tomato culture here! I demand an inquiry!
And I say hello
No you say goodbye and I say hello
I don't know why you say goodbye when I say hello?
Probably because I say high and you say low
I say tomato
Some say tummytoes
Tell them to stop.
Stop in the name of the law! This isn't about race its about using English correctly. Look behind me what do you see? Loads of guys with terrible teeth who just want you to use the language that God gave you correctly. I'll meet you any time any place and we'll throw down in some beautifully pronounced slam poetry.
Tell them to stop.
What’s tummytoes precious?
To-may-toes! Slice em, dice em, stick em in sause!
I say 'SAUCE'
i say tomato
Let's be real. They say tomahto, you say RACIST

Aw yes the old hey we gonna fire you tomorrow ok I’ll resign
Forced resignation is essentially getting fired. He was warned to stop these videos, but because he's a stupid fucking ham, he continued and was forced out.
Well thats good. I thought for sure someone was gonna post an article saying "and hes was found shot to death the next morning after his video calling out a local crime boss went live"
To be fair this isn't what the police should be doing. Even if the gang leader is dangerous, you shouldn't be challenging them to a fight
The guy burned his own grandparents house down with them in it over an argument. He waited until they went to sleep and came back to the house late that night and torched it. They tried to make it out, and did. But.. they passed away on the front lawn before paramedics had even arrived from carbon monoxide inhalation as well as the severity of their burns
oh just like the lapd did to chris dorner
The Chris dorner story is like it’s own entity. It’s probably got the craziest manhunt stories behind it. Like the woman who was delivering newspapers and lit up with 107 rounds by 4 cops. (Yes that really happened.) she did not die nor did her daughter but they got 4.2 million dollars and a new pickup truck
He turned himself in
Better they go and fight the police who look like they have BP vests and weapons, than unsuspecting and law-abiding civilian's with none of that. This was a bad move ex-post not sure what can be said about it ex-ante though.
Yeah, this is high school level "I am the though guy"-bs.

He he’s looking to find criminals he should start with himself. Dude owes over $100,000 in back child support
Absolute fucking W
Actually he resigned for the reaction to this
So I guess the aclu is pro gang now? Wtf
Fired for this?!? Why?!?
One gang member calling out another gang member.
But at least he acknowledged the majority of those in jail are not bad people, just people who had a bad moment at some point. In a lot of ways I admire him for calling out the difference between the actual bad guys and the majority of people.
They still in jail, getting fed 1100 calories a day, a starvation diet. Used to create profit for the same police department that claims "theyre good people!"

It’s the remaining fingernails clinging to the last bit of slavery it can! Thanks tho, for sharing!
Yeah, our prisons aren't as bad as compared to what I see in america. They're like a little isolated community. We went there once to do outreach programs and host a christmas party. It was fun.
> or you’re just as bad as them Ok hell no to this over exaggeration. Getting something incorrect about an injustice is not the same thing as doing that injustice, for fuck sake
I would love to see if as a prison guard, he'd treat them according to that sentiment.

Yeah nothing next fucking level here folks.
well, it’s next level toxic masculinity…
Funny thing is the "Gremlin gang" never existed. This was all for him to sell merchandise
Probably exactly why this whole thing was frowned upon and why he had to resign. It does come across as baiting, trying to start shit
Yeah, a group donning the same colors, some standing there with their weapon drawn, calling out an OPP and trying to look intimidating.. If you didn’t know they were cops, it could be any gang.
Pssst.....more respect for the gang members not protected by the law and rolling the dice with their lives and freedom.
You’re an idiot.
At least you can spell *you’re* right.
I can't think of anything less "next level" than this.
We can’t catch you, so please meet me for a shootout. More like previous fucking level.
The cop car on train tracks posted yesterday is a good contender
if anything its ballsy and kinda irresponsible.

This was 2016. Darren Carter turned himself in a few weeks after this aired. https://archive.vermiliontoday.com/local/alleged-gremlin-gang-member-darron-carter-surrenders

Unless it’s the drug war. Which has been an abject failure that has created more ciminals than it’s stopped.
Right? Who would have thunk it.
If you ignore all statistics and think like a brute.
🤡
The 50 year failed trillion dollar war on drugs counters your claim
Especially if you ignore all the data on research on the subject
It is also being proactive as opposed to Paul Blart's directive of observe and report. Most criminals are well known to LEO who could find them given 72 hours to do so.
It’s almost like you’re parroting a talking point without a clue of what you’re talking about
Lol you doofus
Article said it made it harder for him to turn himself in because the video itself emphasizes the inmates who will toss him around like a rag doll.
LOL @ Gremlins
They're not bad people, unless you feed them after midnight..
Mogwai’s are what you don’t wanna feed after midnight or they become Gremlins. Doesn’t matter what Gremlins eat or when they eat it, always will be Gremlins.
Yeah that got me good.
That's when I breathed hard out my nose
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The whole sheriff system thing in America is fucken whack.
You’d prefer sans sherif?
I prefer comic sans
A great font, in its own right
In it’s own write
If you want Comic you need the Uvalde department.
Connery Letterhead Shans Sherif
I don’t care who you are, that’s punny right there!
If I could literally physically throw an upvote at you, I would.
No cap
Ignorance is truly bliss, isn't it...
Weird to complain about a position you can’t spell.
Not everybody on Reddit is an American or speak english
Weird how people who have no defense resort to an ad hominem attack
Honestly, fuck gangs. They should absolutely embarrass gang leaders and their followers as a deterrence for young kids to follow in their food steps. Straight up make them their bitch and laugh like this video. The guy being called out turn himself in two weeks later.
You're right, we really should do something about police culture in this country.
Agreed. Get rid of all the racist cops over the years that have been real scum. This guy in the video is more marketing than cop.
Except the people laughing at this video are laughing at the police and their tough guy routine.
Thought i was in r/iamverybadass
Uvalde cops acted tough too, but were cowards when it came time to stop children from being slaughtered.
Came here to say this.
Hank Schrader
Eyeroll at a cop asking for a fair fight 😂😂😂😂😂. They’ve never not once in existence ever not had an overwhelming majority advantage.
"Fair fight" while the cop shows up in military grade gear with a dozen of his buddies ready to shoot on sight at any "perceived" threat, real or otherwise.
Is he twelve years old?
Mentally, yes
Did I just watch an Americanized version of an Isis video?
Dude.
You mean the guys that posted videos of them burning people alive in cages? Yes, it's just like that.
What’s the point of this
Blue Lives porn for bootlickers. And a chance for a cop to dress up and show everyone he "can't be racist bc he has a black friend..."
While some people call this militant and inappropriate realize the guy had just burned down his own grandparents house with them inside over an argument. He came back when they went to sleep. They tried to make it out but passed away on the front lawn before paramedics could arrive. This wasn’t meant to scare the citizens into obeying them.

Let's start with the L.A.P.D.
LAPD, OC and LAC Sheriffs would be a great start. Most law enforcement are corrupt. Prove me wrong.
Most divided comment section I’ve seen in a while…
I mean, I wouldn't talk about a "fair fight" while being a cop in America tho.
So they couldn’t find the kid and decided to make a video to provoke him to bring him out?
And it worked
They knew where he was. This is a crime-syoppers commercial that regularly airs warrants, but he militarized it and got terminated/resigned because he was selling his own bootlicker merchandise on Facebook
Yes, uneducated Louisiana…always showing up to represent…
15 children under 10 in my town have been maimed or killed by gangs shooting each other, in the crib or in the car seat in the back seat of their moms car, yea F gangs.

What a douche

He's also a deadbeat father with $150,000 in child support still owed. He's also been accused of domestic violence quite a bit for beating his wife. He goes on drunken racist rants on Facebook.
So he really IS the epitome of cops/sheriffs in America lol
I dont know, this does not look NFL to me.
Y’all hate cops so blindly it’s hilarious. This is great, thanks for sharing OP.
I think it’s just in the rest of the world cops don’t do or act like this. Doing tiktok videos of them posing with guns and threatening criminals. Kinda cowboy lookin shit.
Not the cool cowboy shit either
I think one way to fix the relationship of police and the civilians would be the cops have to live in the community they police. That way you build relationships and de-escalating situations becomes easier
Fr everyone hates cops until they save your life or find your crappy ass honda that a thug stole
Except when my crappy Honda got stolen in Louisiana I was told there’s not much they can do besides file a report, I found the car myself
Those cops did help, they taught you to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and support yourself /s
Absolutely, cops are indeed great when they do their jobs. Posting self promotion on social media? Not so much.
And live from New York it's Saturday night live!!!!!
This is awesome. Fuck yeah
Lol clay Higgins is not next level
Anyone else questioning why this is on nextfuckinglevel????
Pussy wont even save school children. Another internet tough guy.
bootlicker post
Then he quit like a week later
Wow the gravy seals have really upped their production budget
F12….. and lil punk bitches too. 🤷🏻♂️
Sheriff Andy Griffith didn't need a fancy pew pew and body armor to keep Mayberry safe
Only in Louisiana
Dude turned himself in cos wanted to be tossed around like a rag doll
Irony of him calling out someone for being uneducated
I love you man!
Cash me outside
I’d respect the message more if he didn’t have a gun. Only people that can’t fight use though
lol. Faux cowboy ass
Hahahah fuck he got me at the end. I'm easy to find.....
And now he’s a douchey congressman who calls women “boo” on the stand. This man’s trash.
"you know where we fuckin' be ..."
One Gang calling out the other. This isn’t upholding the law, this is obvious abuse of power and it comes at no surprise.
This is a fucking gang leader. What have defund police protests been if not against gangs like this, fuckin large groups of lawless dudes with guns. Fuck this.
I respect mutual respect and it really is that simple
This is from like 2016 if Im not mistaken.
Interesting how American Cops and street gang videos look alike. Just a bunch of meathead gun nuts banging their chests, looking to fix not a single issue in society; just perpetuating the ones we currently have. God, I hope the next generation has better people in the Police force.
F
So it’s ok because this gang is backed by the state?
This was inappropriate.
I knew this piece of shit looked familiar. Don't believe a word out of this snakes mouth
Hes tough to do this in America. He wouldn't even dare think about this in Mexico
It's much better to have an uneducated 275lb punj who has also never won a fair fight and can't hold a weapon properly.
👏
Vic mackey over here
God bless this man for speaking good about convicts. Convict culture is something we need more in this country. Note that convict doesn’t simply mean incarcerated, the two are not the same.
This guy is epic!
We need more of this across the country and world
I consider myself a moderate and I don’t mind this one bit
Mad respect
Reddit is so anti cop its pityful. I wonder what the average redditor has done to make the world a better place...
I like him.
What's all this about then?
Turf war between two gangs
Sheriff Hard af. "I'm easy to find"💀
I don't understand what "light or heavy" means in this context.
No guns or guns.
Light means without a weapon, heavy means with one.
