Recently, Deputy John Braman of the Volusia County Sheriff's Office in Florida resigned from his 10 year veteran job. His motives were caused by an alleged body cam video that shows the deputy stealing money from a DUI suspect. Apparently, there were "multiple" allegations of the deputy stealing money from wallets. At first, he was placed on paid administrative leave. Later he decided to resign completely.
This story makes me slightly worried for this country's protection. I definitely understand that this is the only widespread case that we're aware of right now. However, this act is just intolerable. Though I am curious whether the officer will be punished for these actions or will just be let off scott-free.

Seeing corrupt law enforcement is always disheartening. They're the ones that are supposed to be protecting us.
ReplyDeleteI hate when the ones enforcing the laws fail to follow the laws they enforce.
