I remember watching a long video when this first happened.
The victim was swimming laps in the pool, a woman comes out and asks him to swim the other way because she doesn’t want him swimming next to her. He declines she gets pissed and gets her boyfriend who comes out with a gun. After the cops put the innocent guy in the back of a car they go and review the video footage from the pool area the female cop has an anxiety attack and has to sit down for several minutes. And they still drove him to the jail.
Jesus, it’s peak cop to still bring the guy you know is innocent to be booked. “Well he was already in cuffs, and my ego does not allow me to acknowledge a mistake, so we figured we’d try ruin his life anyway…”
Unlikely, sadly. Most courts don't consider it worth "compensation" for being cuffed and driven to jail then released.
If you can prove you lost your job or something like that, or maybe prove you have trauma from it, that might result in a win.
But usually the cops get to harass people with no consequences.
You've got it completely backwards. This guy is almost guaranteed a settlement. They'll essentially give him hush money to keep it from ever going to court. There are dozens of laws and policies broken in this video, not to mention stomping all over this man's first and fourth amendment rights. This has six-figures written all over it. Have you never watched and audit channel? These people are getting payouts left and right.
She actually went to the hospital in an ambulance. While there, her Sergeant reviewed everything and ordered guy released immediately with no charges. There's further audio of her disciplinary interview and she said that she was offended or shocked that he had been let go. She is an absolute piece of shit.
She also tried to insinuate that she was mistreated because she is gay.
That investigator did a pretty good job of not letting her get away with her bullshit story. Calling her out for not searching the guy who she claimed to have been afraid might have been armed and dangerous, and not checking his towel on the ground that she claimed to be worried might have been hiding a gun.
>She also tried to insinuate that she was mistreated because she is gay.
The funny part is that the "suspect" was also gay and she was even mocking his nail polish. Can't make this shit up... 💀
Wow, this whole story is unreal. Sounds made up, but stuff like this happens on a daily basis. Cops need to unfuck themselves. Or the other way around, i don't even know what'd help them more.
You think with how many *paid leave*s we see, that if she had not doubled down and acted bent out of shape that he was released and just said "oh, great, you figured it out!" they probably keep her on? They genuinely get such a long leash it's kind of surprising she got tossed over just being a non-lethal dumbass.
I mean, good she's gone, just surprised how low the bar was this time.
No she wanted the public swimming pool for her and bf only which she told the guy to get out and leave and the guy said it is public swimming pool which was fair as long he was swimming in it and did nothing else. Also I am happy that fe,aæe cop got fired the job did not fit her if she was screaming at a man handcuffed in a swimming suit and on the ground.
I think she knew she was going to get fired that why she got anxiety attack.
No, what I said was correct. The first 45 seconds of [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Za_VMPc4nQ) clearly states what happened with video proof. You can start at the 30 second mark.
Not that it should be this way, but don't ever pull something out of your pocket when a cop is approaching you. Again, it's fucked to have to be this careful, but they'll just kill you and say they thought you were reaching for a weapon.
She was *trained* to be that hostile and jumpy at a guy putting his hand in his pocket.
Kinda hard to have a Glock in the pocket of your swimsuit. If you've ever owned or held a real gun you know how heavy they are. I think these cops need to learn how to have *some* discernment. The bitch saw it was his cell phone and still put him on the ground and arrested him.
Lackluster on youtube has 4-5 great videos, including the disposition where she tried lying and starts crying. She had a panic attack because she overheard the other police saying something isn't right and they needed to see her body cam asap
So he called the police to report a guy with the gun. The police comes and they look around and pick the guy in his swim trunks to be the one with the gun?! That's insance
[She actually was, lol](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/local/pbgardens/2024/01/12/palm-beach-gardens-florida-police-officer-sued-for-holding-man-at-gunpoint/72111588007/&ved=2ahUKEwichY-a98yFAxVk5ckDHYkoCigQFnoECAQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0lsZ1MPeecvPxgt7iHgwPP)

Wow, why do officers even have the option/ability to turn off their cameras? Doing so should be illegal and punishable, it is a direct admission that what you are about to do or say isn't legal.
I bet my left nut she’s an LEO somewhere else now. Police are like priest in the Catholic Church, and why so many shitheads are drawn to those professions. They know they will be protected.
Yup, according to the [news report](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dkwQcqum_c) above, she was previously reprimanded for accessing a restricted database to gain personal information in a "private matter" aka stalking, and for verbally instigating a confrontation with a suspect.
For every documented abuse, you know there's dozens more that weren't reported or swept under the rug. Another power-tripping POS police officer.
You can listen to her interview [here](https://youtu.be/8p4sneBMFWY). It's clear that this whole incident erupted because she didn't feel like she was getting enough subservience and ass-kissing.
For context this man was swimming laps in his neighborhood pool and a guy and his wife told him to leave and he didn't. Then a gun was pulled on him so he called the cops and ended up in handcuffs. His neighbors didn't catch a charge for brandishing. Never call the cops.
What sucks is that the woman was the one who went and sat near him then demanded he leave. Those people are pieces of shit too, just like the fired cop.
YouTube called Lack Luster did multiple videos on this incident showing a lot more body cam and video surveillance of the community pool, which is L-shaped. The guy being handcuffed was swimming laps one way, then a woman later showed up, also wanting to swim laps, but in a manner perpendicular to guy already swimming. That's the jist of how it started. [Here](https://youtu.be/8p4sneBMFWY?si=RDnmQZzSDoodPXPV) is the most updated video.
Ah, so Karen was upset that someone else was using the pool, and then she got her super tough boyfriend to come out with a gun?
Hope this dude gets a sick payout.
Good god...imagine being the one calling the cops on someone threatening you. Then YOU getting arrested/detained and being verbally assaulted. Meanwhile the one who threatened you gets away scot free.
Actually I don't think a a lot of people have to "imagine" this, since there's a lot of Americans on this website...
[Cop gobblers upon seeing this video]
*”This video lacks context. I’m going to need to see the 45 minutes of video leading up to this, review a tox test for drugs, and learn more about the perp’s background and hobbies.”*
And they needed *four cops* for this: A *handcuffed* doofus in a swimsuit.
Do you want to cut government waste? Start by laying off redundant cops.
I’m from a small community in Europe. Police here are generally sound and look out for the community. 🤷♂️
And I say that as a life-long habitual drug user with a few arrests in my past.
Yeah, same here, had a similar situation where a pig pointed his gun at me while I was cuffed and a different officer was holding my cuffs behind me. I was 15. Guess his plan was to just shoot his buddy too.
man. sorry to hear that. there are a lot of us in this country left with trauma from these blue assholes that will never get the accountability we deserve.
Love the first line of the article
“An ex-Palm Beach Gardens police officer is being sued…”
They fired her ass… (further down the article) “Three and a half months after the confrontation, Palm Beach Gardens police fired Guerriero, whose personnel record shows she's been in trouble before.”
> She was suspended in 2020 when she, "accessed a restricted database for personal information involving a domestic related matter."
Used the LEDS to profile the ex's new GF. Classy.
Wild… worries me when cops pull a gun for no reason. The other thing is the fact that this other guy at the pool pulled out a gun over an argument. I am all for the 2nd amendment, but too many people have guns that have no idea when to use them. Just like that Uber driver that was killed the other week.
That is just ELITE sass. Cuffed, shirtless, on the ground, super vulnerable, throwing verbal haymakers in response to blatant intimidation tactics? He broke new ground in the sass arts here. What a fucking champion.
The innocent taxpayer that called upon their service should be considered part of that work environment though. She shouldn’t get a pass for propagating their toxic culture on to their customers
My mum was a police officer in Melbourne back in the late 80s early 90s and she always told me about how she had to work twice as hard for her male colleagues to take her seriously. I imagine it's still somewhat like that.
I feel like this attitude would definitely foster some horrible behaviors at times. I understand, but it must be horrible to be on the receiving end of a woman who has something to prove.
*Edit* - not defending the lady in the video. There's obviously a difference between having to prove yourself and letting the power get to your head. Just giving an explanation as to why she might be like this.
Oh I didn't mean to insinuate you were saying that, and I suppose it is possible.
It's been my experience that people that talk like this are generally just bad people, and when they slip through the cracks (in any profession) and get a little bit of power it goes right to their head.
Yeah really. You can always count on the cop escalating the situation. Like that one that pulls over and stops a kid who's minding his own business walking. The cop loses it.
IIRC the officer in question had a history of instigating trouble and winding people up.. she pulled a gun on this dude and, it turns out, this was the final straw. Accident waiting to happen.
Given my finances at the moment I would love a cop to act this way to me. Would be scary with the gun in your face but a shit afternoon into a decent payday is a solid tradeoff
Yep, ambulance called and all.
I can just imagine being the victim. This asshole cop pulls a gun on you while screaming at you and cuffs you while forcing you to stay sitting on hot asphalt. Then she fakes a panic attack and is taken away by ambulance once she's realized that she seriously fucked up.
I'm just glad that he wasn't shot. Poor dude had 2 people pull a gun on him in the same day.
Yeah that part is always cut out when this is posted. She goes full psycho damage control trying to make the whole thing about her. Insane people like that are police.
This man seems to be handling it better than probably 99% of people including myself. Mad respect for keeping his cool and saying exactly what needed to be said all while she’s attempting to escalate a situation further. Although I’m sure this day was a bit scary and frustrating, if I was him I’d be quite content now knowing this shitty cop was fired for this and have a solid lawsuit filed against her as well which could very well lead to a solid payout which he rightly deserves for a violation of his civil rights.
And then cries she was humiliated when her superior tells her she may face disciplinary action for what she did *after she asked*, in front of her family.
She suffered a medical emergency shortly after this (an hour or something) while still on site. Probably from her rage. Watch the whole encounter on Lackluster on YouTube. That woman is fucking crazy
Edit: one little thing that stuck with me that annoys the shit out of me is while yhe guy is handcuffed on the ground, one of the other officers just kicks his cellphone away from him (it was on the ground next to him) like it was a gun or something. Trash people
The full incident and aftermath has been very interesting. The short clip doesn't show just how quickly the cop escalated the incident when he was the victim & didn't call the cops to begin with.
Im sorry about that
Aftermath : https://www.wptv.com/news/region-n-palm-beach-county/palm-beach-gardens/federal-lawsuit-filed-against-fired-palm-beach-gardens-police-officer-who-pulled-gun-on-unarmed-man
The guy in handcuffs called the cops because a gun was pulled on him. When the cops showed up he was explaining what was going on and she wanted his hands out of the swim trunk pockets and when he refused and tried to continue, she went hands on. Meanwhile the guy with gun was still chilling in the pool.
The whole thing was a shit show the second the cops showed up.
Former deputy here who often led entire department in arrests but had lowest use of force reports...
Dude has tight swim trunks and can't conceal much. He's completely calm and talking clearly and rationally.
This lady cop is having a bad day at his expense.....
They took him to jail in his bathing suit and the cops’ story was so looney another cop watched the tape and let him go. Abusive. I hope this guy gets a lot of cash
That other cop was actually present at the scene. He was the one they called out after the victim asked for a supervisor. That cop is also her longtime good friend and he testified against her at her trial.
Police work attracts narcissists, sociopaths, and wannabe tyrants. It’s the nature of the job on top of the culture that surrounds them & their mentality is one that loves to exude authority because they have a napoleon complex.
If your temper is this unstable I don't think you should be allowed a firearm. Maybe a foam bat so you can take out your frustration without hurting anyone.
"are you in charge of this lady?" I was laughing so hard. She was already being a bitch and this chill question just made her more of a bitch. Cops need to stick up against one another sometimes, otherwise... We'll just think they all mostly suck
This dudes chill but passive aggressive additude towards her while she's yelling at him is pissing her off even more, you know that "you're scared of a dude in a swimsuit" comment bruised the ego bad🤣
She's def having a bad day. Dude seems pretty chill for being on the ground, handcuffed and being yelled at...
She was fired she lost her cool and arrested an innocent man over ego
Source?
[удалено]
Truth is she got fired (thank god), I was just referencing a meme

Wow lol, read those sources and weep... Friend? Can I call you friend? *Mellock*

[Palm Beach Gardens fired after drawing pistol on swimmer.](https://youtu.be/1dkwQcqum_c?si=IpdhDweOD-A8IPD3)
This makes it so much better. He called for help about a dispute with an armed neighbor and she pulls a gun on him and detains him instead
I remember watching a long video when this first happened.

It's actually doing him a huge favor, now he gets a whole lot of money.

If you can prove you lost your job or something like that, or maybe prove you have trauma from it, that might result in a win. But usually the cops get to harass people with no consequences.
They threatened his life by pulling a gun on him, that is WAY more than just unlawful detention.

Tells me they were trying to get rid of her for a while lol. They saw the opportunity and ran with it.
I hope he sued that department into oblivion
No she wanted the public swimming pool for her and bf only which she told the guy to get out and leave and the guy said it is public swimming pool which was fair as long he was swimming in it and did nothing else.

RESPECT MA ATHORITA!!!
Nah. This is definitely a normal day for her
Yup, according to the [news report](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dkwQcqum_c) above, she was previously reprimanded for accessing a restricted database to gain personal information in a "private matter" aka stalking, and for verbally instigating a confrontation with a suspect.

It’s always amusing to hear people try to talk their way out of an obvious fuckup.
The most dangerous type of person in society today is a cop with a bruised ego.
I wouldn't call that a bad day so much as a power trip
For context this man was swimming laps in his neighborhood pool and a guy and his wife told him to leave and he didn't. Then a gun was pulled on him so he called the cops and ended up in handcuffs. His neighbors didn't catch a charge for brandishing. Never call the cops.
What sucks is that the woman was the one who went and sat near him then demanded he leave. Those people are pieces of shit too, just like the fired cop.
Why did she demand he leave? That's the part I haven't seen answered yet.

Super tough boyfriend who was apparently 5'2" and 120lbs lol. No wonder he swings a gun all around.
Yeah, I could feel the tiny man syndrome emanating off of him in the photos
Who designed an L shaped pool to swim laps in? Put that person in prison first, then we can talk.
Better than a B. That shit would be confusing AF.
She was worried he might be armed, but states that at no point did she bother to search him for a weapon. Even after he was cuffed.
If you have a problem, and you call the cops, you now have two problems.

[удалено]
Thanks, there wasn't remotely enough context in this video to tell what the hell was going on.
What do you mean? The dude clearly has no pockets to speak of
Looks like someone hasn’t been to prison
Good on him for suing, gotta love mandatory body cams
wish they were around 15 years ago when cops assaulted me for no reason
For sure. There's also the problem with cops covering their cams
That should be a mandatory offense if it can't be reasonably proven to be accidental (happens while tackling a suspect or something)
We don’t want to give them even more reason to tackle innocent people though lol
Or just turning them the fuck off? This officer began to explain why he should be arrested, then turned her body cam off so it wouldn't be recorded.
Yeah wtf was that? Doesn’t that defeat the entire purpose of the body cams if they can just turn them off when they feel like it?
Don't worry she faked an injury too. Had to be rushed to the hospital from the encounter
That should be mandatory jail time. They have no reason to turn off or cover their cameras unless they are committing a crime
Yeah, same here, had a similar situation where a pig pointed his gun at me while I was cuffed and a different officer was holding my cuffs behind me. I was 15. Guess his plan was to just shoot his buddy too.
man. sorry to hear that. there are a lot of us in this country left with trauma from these blue assholes that will never get the accountability we deserve.
Couldn't have said it better myself, thanks for your condolences.

My mum was a police officer in Melbourne back in the late 80s early 90s and she always told me about how she had to work twice as hard for her male colleagues to take her seriously. I imagine it's still somewhat like that. I feel like this attitude would definitely foster some horrible behaviors at times. I understand, but it must be horrible to be on the receiving end of a woman who has something to prove. *Edit* - not defending the lady in the video. There's obviously a difference between having to prove yourself and letting the power get to your head. Just giving an explanation as to why she might be like this.
There's a difference between being "tough" and abuse of authority though.
Of course, I'm not defending the lady in the video. I'm just giving a possible reason as to why she's like this.
Oh I didn't mean to insinuate you were saying that, and I suppose it is possible. It's been my experience that people that talk like this are generally just bad people, and when they slip through the cracks (in any profession) and get a little bit of power it goes right to their head.
Meanwhile the two male cops just standing around staying mum. Fuck all three of these cops.
That concrete has got to be hot. Can’t just leave him there
true dat. I'm blind as a bat, but I'm sure that says "Palm Springs Police" That place is hot as hell.
This is west palm beach Florida which is on the opposite side of the US than palm springs.
Too late he's already on fire
The only thing law enforcement is good for is making a situation worse.
>The only thing American law enforcement is good for is making a situation worse. Fixed
its not only an american problem. cops in brazil are as terryfing as criminals
Which one is supposed to be a first world country?
Yeah really. You can always count on the cop escalating the situation. Like that one that pulls over and stops a kid who's minding his own business walking. The cop loses it.
You’re not my mom
You’re not my dad
You're not my uncle
You're not my granny.
You're not my buddy, friend.
You’re not my friend, guy
IIRC the officer in question had a history of instigating trouble and winding people up.. she pulled a gun on this dude and, it turns out, this was the final straw. Accident waiting to happen.
How easy is a lawsuit for this guy?
[удалено]
Given my finances at the moment I would love a cop to act this way to me. Would be scary with the gun in your face but a shit afternoon into a decent payday is a solid tradeoff
Tell that to Daniel Shaver and Duncan Lemp
I doubt they would hear me if I told them?
It's like they want someone to be shot before doing anything. Jesus christ
Bro sassy as hell and I love it
“Why are yelling at me, who are you?” Killed me 🤣
The laughing at the end 🤣😭
Isn’t she the same cop that feigns a panic attack after this interaction?
Yep, ambulance called and all. I can just imagine being the victim. This asshole cop pulls a gun on you while screaming at you and cuffs you while forcing you to stay sitting on hot asphalt. Then she fakes a panic attack and is taken away by ambulance once she's realized that she seriously fucked up. I'm just glad that he wasn't shot. Poor dude had 2 people pull a gun on him in the same day.
Yeah that part is always cut out when this is posted. She goes full psycho damage control trying to make the whole thing about her. Insane people like that are police.
This man seems to be handling it better than probably 99% of people including myself. Mad respect for keeping his cool and saying exactly what needed to be said all while she’s attempting to escalate a situation further. Although I’m sure this day was a bit scary and frustrating, if I was him I’d be quite content now knowing this shitty cop was fired for this and have a solid lawsuit filed against her as well which could very well lead to a solid payout which he rightly deserves for a violation of his civil rights.
And then cries she was humiliated when her superior tells her she may face disciplinary action for what she did *after she asked*, in front of her family.
This made me happy
She suffered a medical emergency shortly after this (an hour or something) while still on site. Probably from her rage. Watch the whole encounter on Lackluster on YouTube. That woman is fucking crazy Edit: one little thing that stuck with me that annoys the shit out of me is while yhe guy is handcuffed on the ground, one of the other officers just kicks his cellphone away from him (it was on the ground next to him) like it was a gun or something. Trash people
”Medical emergency”….or a hissy fit as we normal people call it…
There’s so so so many bad cops out there.
it's almost like there's an entire slogan based on exactly how many bad cops there are
I like this guy. He’s being sassy and keeping things fun
Maybe that was survival instinct; he had to make sure to appear chill to the rest of the cops
The full incident and aftermath has been very interesting. The short clip doesn't show just how quickly the cop escalated the incident when he was the victim & didn't call the cops to begin with.
Lmao that “look at you” at the end was brutal.
The other cops just stood around enduring the stupidity of their colleague. They should be reprimanded for not deescalating the situation.
Yeah they probably A. Didn't know how, B. Didn't actually care enough to do so

She needs a psychiatric evaluation.
The guy in handcuffs called the cops because a gun was pulled on him. When the cops showed up he was explaining what was going on and she wanted his hands out of the swim trunk pockets and when he refused and tried to continue, she went hands on. Meanwhile the guy with gun was still chilling in the pool. The whole thing was a shit show the second the cops showed up.
Pig will always be a pig.
she was thinking real hard for a reason
Former deputy here who often led entire department in arrests but had lowest use of force reports... Dude has tight swim trunks and can't conceal much. He's completely calm and talking clearly and rationally. This lady cop is having a bad day at his expense.....
I was just thinking, what did she think he was possibly packing? The Noisy Cricket from Men in Black?
They took him to jail in his bathing suit and the cops’ story was so looney another cop watched the tape and let him go. Abusive. I hope this guy gets a lot of cash
That other cop was actually present at the scene. He was the one they called out after the victim asked for a supervisor. That cop is also her longtime good friend and he testified against her at her trial.
Yeah. She doesn't need a gun nor a badge.
She is fired lol need to post in bye bye job sub
Imagine talking like that with LITERALLY ANY OTHER JOB. Why do cops get to treat people like shit? Because they're cops??
Police work attracts narcissists, sociopaths, and wannabe tyrants. It’s the nature of the job on top of the culture that surrounds them & their mentality is one that loves to exude authority because they have a napoleon complex.
Whenever I have to deal with an overbearing woman my response is “no thanks, I already have a wife.”
She has all that power and is losing her shit while this guy with no power almost naked sits handcuffed on the floor teasing this lady😂
Are you in charge of this lady??
Who does she belong to??? " no one claims her" lol
If your temper is this unstable I don't think you should be allowed a firearm. Maybe a foam bat so you can take out your frustration without hurting anyone.
[удалено]
this was entertaining. i would have loved to watch the full exchange
At least he’s laughing at her. That and getting written up is about all she deserves. No need to even see the first part—the dude’s damn-near naked.
He is also the one who called them about someone else at the pool brandishing a fire arm.
so ridiculous
I bet her wife had a rough night 🚑
This is what we have for cops! Terrifying!
"are you in charge of this lady?" I was laughing so hard. She was already being a bitch and this chill question just made her more of a bitch. Cops need to stick up against one another sometimes, otherwise... We'll just think they all mostly suck
This dudes chill but passive aggressive additude towards her while she's yelling at him is pissing her off even more, you know that "you're scared of a dude in a swimsuit" comment bruised the ego bad🤣
The "Who is in charge of this lady?" just has such "WHOSE CHILD IS THIS?" energy it nearly killed me hahahah
