End Qualified Immunity and start holding law enforcement officers accountable for their criminal actions and lying.

[JaneQPublic-qf]

So if a cop is an indisputable criminal then just reassign to a different side of town?

[chuckjones]

Why would a department keep a loose cannon on with these kind of complaints. Maybe the sheriff has no balls.

[ancilssonsiler]

Justin Peppers must be fired and his certification as a law enforcement officer rescinded! He's a danger, not only to society, but to law enforcement officers everywhere!

[stvbee]

Peppers, Peppers, Peppers. That name keeps coming up in police excessive force complaints and

[pudda]

Whoever continue to let this cop patrol is sicking they all need to be held accountable. Handin out slaps on the wrist is saying your conduct is okay by us

[stevens]

Assigned to a new area of town so they now have to deal with him. He is not FIT to be a cop. Period. Don’t just pawn him off on another community. Put him on the Brady list, revoke his license and be done with him for good. We’re not talking Rocket Science here Chief.
Taxpayers need to realize and remember they are paying for any lawsuits and settlements brought against him from their tax dollars.

Peppers is a criminal and he is not in prison? Insane!

Until cops are charged for the crimes they commit, this felony abuse of authority will never stop.

Court OKs Barring High IQ's for Cops. N E W L O N D O N, Conn., Sept. 8, 2000 -- A man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test has lost an appeal in his federal lawsuit against the city. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court’s decision that the city did not discriminate against Robert Jordan because the same standards were applied to everyone who took the test. In other words, if you're intelligent, don't even apply. This particular cop is a thug and a threat to the public.

This is going to end badly for Peppers, either he is going to end up in prison or the cemetary and whenever this goes wrong I hope those who enabled him by allowing him to continue his bad behavior are charged criminally and civilly.. He is a disgrace to all officers who serve and protect with honor

[Mike-gcih]

Until qualified immunity is done away with this kind of action will never stop. The officers know not a dime will come out of their pockets and they will not get fired. Maybe some of the settlement should start coming out of not only the officers pockets but their superiors also

[peternutsrc]

When he kill someone, That's when they'll let him go.

[joeldale]

That guy will keep behaving that way until he is stopped !!

[andyfletcher]

He doesn't need a new beat he needs to be in general population...

[shelleyking]

How many times does it take to prove you can't be a cop? This serial action is prosecutable.

[tangmerebob]

I agree he should be assigned another beat, the signing on queue at the employment building

[clutchitsystems]

This brutality towards another human is That fkn cop needs to meet his fkn maker.

[geoffm]

Peppers is a rogue police officer, who frankly is out of control. He should be fired ASAP. He’s a public menace. If he’s not fired, there is bound to be more serious incidents concerning this dysfunctional police officer.

[johnpower]

Can you imagine this cop does this over window tint? Not smart enough to look at the whole picture, and why is a public servant using foul abusive language on his employers? Mental issues

[malenurse]

This cop is on YouTube more than content creators, and it always seems to start with window tint. Dark windows gets this tyrant angry
