A retired Marine turned cop... I'd take his word over the corrupt chief.

This is the police officer that should be Chief of Holyoke Police Department. The man is not a liar. RESPECT AND HONOR.

Good for him! Sad thing is corruption will always continue to plague all MA dept's

[justafishguy]

First off you’re never a former Marine that man is and will always be a Marine. Biggest balls out there today

[Hobbypro]

It’s corruption at its finest that man is a hero and a veteran thank you for your service

[edwardmiessner]

Looks like they didn't like the exposure so they decided to be tyrants.

Investigation by internal affairs? We’re good to go!

[haroldrios]

The DOJ ( Department of Justice) will be paying them a visit soon I’m sure!!!

It's about time these good officers stand up to the corrupt ones!. Get these dirty cops out! I'm happy he spoke up because everyone knows most cops are dirty but are afraid of retaliation from the department! I hope the FBI gets involved and the truth comes to light! Get these bad cops out NOW!! Good on this guy!

This officer is absolutely right!! Finally someone with balls speaking the truth!!!! I used to live in Holysmoke and work in manufacturing plants there. The police commish and mayor in cahoots! The city has always been a shitshow for decades, this is well known in Hampden County! The City officials are run by gangs and not the residents. Holyoke should’ve been cleaned up decades ago. This officer is a good one and truthful. I believe him 100% because I used to live there!

Look into the police cruisers parked on public state property with police only parking signs.. Upper brass get special parking right across the street. Even though they got there own lot but this closer to the front door. They have been asked many times not to use the parking lot cause it hurts the non profit business that relies heavily on those parking spots. Thanks upper brass HPD.

Of course the good police officer was suspended for calling out corrupt police departments. Its way beyond time to defund these corrupt police departments. I applaude this man for standing up to these corrupt police departments

Shame on our dishonest city's police department they chose to fire rafael instead of telling the truth and being honest. This is so corrupt and dishonest. No employee should be victimized due to any reason and should be discriminated due to any reason

[karenhughes]

I hope this video and the “few’ others out there starts a revolution/revelation of just how corrupt the justice system is.... from top to bottom....starting at the officers level is great....more officers like this need to come out and say just how corrupt their departments least one from every district....that’ll get the ball rolling and the vast majority of the public will support them....so go for it!

I just saw his video. I'm glad he did it 🙏

[raymclaughlin]

Polk county could use an officer like this, go ahead and apply !

[mbnz]

A man with honor vs corrupt cops...who are you going to beleive?

[tomiden]

Man of honour, we need more like him !!!

[mtw]

Why is it the Chief can fire him for this but they can't fire for excessive force?

[timp]

I Believe this Officer ! Whats the Chief Hiding
