Psycho Deputy Coerces Car Search By Smacking Victim and Taking KeysAmanda Warren An unnamed Halfmoon resident is pulled over. He and the friend recording the incident are standing outside. The deputy attempts to coerce a car search saying things like, Then it shouldnt be an issue for us to look and later let me see your fing keys you wanna fing resist? (Resist what? Assault?) Deputy Shawn Glans attempts to use the following, as though its some sort of threat: Well get a fing search warrant all right? You wanna do that? Okay lets get a search warrant But the deputy wont go get the warrant. Instead, he charges at the young man and whacks him (allegedly) upside the head and takes his keys. Heres the kicker, as though someone whos just been assaulted by an officer is supposed to somehow feel sympathy for his attacker: I really dont want to stand out here in the fing rain, the deputy says. And the classic, If youve got nothing to hide in there, were just gonna check, and be on our fing merry way. Understand?? Ahole! Then he tells the video recorder, he could rip his fing head off. The anonymous recorder has since spoken out about it. Incidents of police beating,tasing, pistol whipping innocent people, causing extreme medical bills at routine stops are exploding across the states, almost never resulting in an outright revocation of employment. How is this acceptable behavior toward people who respectfully decline warrantless searches and seizures? When will enough be enough? Local Attorney Terry Kindlon, found the incident to be a clear violation of rights, saying: Unsurprisingly, an ongoing internal investigation is taking place. Surprisingly, so far, the deputy has at the very least and I do mean veryleast been suspended without pay during the investigation. The Sheriff made it clear that the behavior was not condoned, but time will tell if any real action is taken to prevent another episode. Everything about the deputys demeanor, language and actions goes well above bullying into a dangerous realm where bodily harm wasnt just threatened but delivered. Honestly, should someone like this be employed with the department let alone be allowed to roam the streets unsupervised at all? Update: Deputy was arrested, charged and resigned before investigation ended. Recently fromAmanda Warren:
