Cop Criticized at Ceremony: ‘You’re a Bad Police Officer’

An awards ceremony for several sheriff’s deputies turned into a complete embarrassment for one of them, as an official publicly shamed the officer. Deputy John Gallardo received a Deputy of the Month award at the Tamarac City Commission in Florida. But shortly after photos were taken, City Commissioner Mike Gelin called Gallardo to the front of the room and confronted him about a 2015 incident. “You don’t deserve to be here,” Gelin told Gallardo. #InsideEdition

"You dont deserve to be here"
"Okay sir thanks!"

I spent 24 years in the military, and I can assure you some of the worst humans I ever had the displeasure of knowing were honored with ceremonies and awards.

Could have handled it differently?

No, you nailed it. Thank you.

[fbicontacted]

He handled that perfectly and shouldn't apologize for calling out a bad cop.

Man - "You don't deserve to be here."

Cop - "ight imma head out"

“You don’t deserve to be here”

*smiles awkwardly while shaking head and puts a thumbs up*

This is fantastic! Someone actually spoke up! We need more people like him.

Watch the lady with the purple rag on her head. She was so upset that he brought that up. She was acting so nonchalant towards the City Commissioner the whole time. Just look at her! SMH!!

U can tell what kind of person the cop is from his reaction

[sergioomar]

at least he told him to his face and didnt do it on social media like some other punks

[leighstevens]

Think the fact he had a flash back when confronted with this guys presence, proves how deeply wrongful treatment affects us. I cannot imagine how helpless he must have felt at the time. Truly glad he had the evidence to prove his innocence, but wondering if he was compensated, or more importantly offered an
He remained a good man inspite of the experience!

[avalonpark]

He humiliated him in private, and he exposed him in public, poetic justice at its best.

“You falsely arrested me”

Officer nods head

[susannemarie]

This is awesome that you got the chance to speak up like that and let everyone know what you went through because of him. I think the mayor should have been more understanding of your situation

[Mista_Cassla]

I like how he still did a thumbs up and a smile 😂

[OldestHouse]

guy: "...who falsely arrested me..."
cop: *nods* yea thats me alright

[hothotheat]

Props to him for confronting him like a man, face to face.

[RickJZ]

Much respect to the man! So glad that he spoke up.

The fact the city commissioner called him out and said it to his face and said it the most professional and honest way and didn’t try to provoke him while the cop just snarkle and gave a thumb up and walk away instead of apologizing and owning up show what type of character he is and that he doesn’t care nor have any remorse for what he did and the commissioner the bigger man

“You don’t deserve to be here!”
Cop: 🤫😄👍
