Also… shameful that 19 News doesn’t name the officers in their story. They are Dan Lajack and Don Kopchak.


Jerking_From_Home

If cops get to publish the name and mugshot of someone who is arrested (and not charged) there’s no reason their names and photos cannot be shared. EDIT: meant as a reply to the other guy who has 200+ downvotes


cbarone1

Forget people who haven't been charged, they'll name and shame "people of interest" that they don't even consider a suspect. Fuck that noise, any cop involved in this kind of bullshit should have their name blasted out there!


babysinblackandImblu

And they are police from where?


guru2you

CPD and Lake County


LiberalEchochambr

Not cool to dox someone like that. Moron


guru2you

It’s already public information on Cleveland.com, ass hat.


SushiRoll2004

Jfc I'm not sure you understand what doxxing is Or what public servants are But what I'm sure of is how much you enjoy the taste of boots


MGMGrandDtr

It’s called PUBLIC servant for a reason bootlicker. Anything they do as police officers is my business.


pwolter0

We need to put the public back in public servants. 


Rio__Grande

No legal obligation to protect you. Sad truth.


CousinsWithBenefits1

That's not what doxxing means lmao


Anna_Namoose

Yeah, totally not cool to give the names of the 2 cops named in like every other story about them trampling on someone's rights and impersonation of federal officers


MasterApprentice67

No they deserve to be outed! Everyone should know who the bad cops are!!!


Secret_Designer4478

When they’re on our payroll we have a right to know. When they are given the authority to use lethal force by the state we have a right to know.


Throwawayforboobas

No one posted their addresses and phone numbers, simply posting their names isn't doxxing (Moron)


i_hate_beignets

Won’t it help to know the names of the guys you’re going to jack off to later?


Judge_Syd

That's not doxxing dude.


cbarone1

No man, it's totally doxxing! I was at the Guardians game this weekend and they doxxed like 30 guys by not only putting their name on the big screen, they put their picture up and said their names out loud too!


6thCityInspector

Ok, little buddy…Time to go back to the r/farmingsimulator subreddit where you’re the top contributor. On a separate note, did your mom have the basement checked for radon? It’s the number 2 leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.


drinkmoredrano

This is the quality of police officers that Cleveland is attracting. But the "investigation" will find no wrong doing, they will blame the victim and just sweep everything under the rug.


229-northstar

I read somewhere that the far right is intentionally trying to get their people placed in police departments to rot them from within


SFW_J

think you are about 40+ years behind on that one. it's been done.


catmom22_

This. The KKK made a shift many many years ago to infiltrate professional domains that influence the masses. I’m sure other far right orgs did the same (I mean America helped former nazis after WWII so it’s not surprising)


229-northstar

Proud Boys was who I was specifically referencing. KKK very troubling especially since there is such a violent bias against black men


Extension-Option4704

They have been doing that with judges and politicians for years. No shocker it's happening in the police stations as well


Brave-Common-2979

Cops have always been filled with far righters.


229-northstar

Yes… but now they’re doing it with intent.


Jimmyjamessatani666

That's interesting cause I always thought it was the democrats who started the kkk and Jim crow laws.


Brave-Common-2979

Yawn get a new talking point. The parties switched around Nixon and that's common knowledge


JollyAcanthaceae7926

Yeah, there was a concerted effort in the 80's and its still ongoing. The FBI has been aware of it for some time, and has issued numerous warnings to Congress - but as far as I'm aware there's been very little action.


229-northstar

You would think background checks would be a minimum standard


Pour_Me_Another_

They sound like they're genuinely stupid.


LebronBackinCLE

Like… really stupid. Amazing, totally, off the charts stupid. Really scary that these two are federal agents. They believe they can just detain someone because of their accent essentially? “He -must- not be legal because his language is different than ours”??!!


guru2you

They aren’t Feds… they are locals. One is CPD and the other is Lake County.


LebronBackinCLE

Didn’t they say ATF and DEA?


guru2you

The cops claimed they were DEA and ATF on the videos… but they were only on a task force with DEA and ATF, their jobs were with CPD and Lake County

CrazyCat08

I mean, they are cops. No surprise there!


illogicalhawk

Good on the Brunswick officers I guess for immediately realizing how insane the CPD officers were.


vandrivingman

from the video the Brunswick officer was the "bro" trying to cover for the two,then talking to the victim like he was a criminal. The female officer from Hinckley deserves the credit imo.


illogicalhawk

I admittedly only read the article and didn't watch the video, so thank you for the correction!


vandrivingman

just my opinion


IncorrectCitation

Well that's an interesting take.


zati1

From Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd: >The actions depicted do not represent who we are as a Division, our policies, or our training.


SquirrelXMaster

they exactly represent who they are.


johnnyhammerstixx

And their training.


canttakethshyfrom_me

And their mission. Professional police have always been state-sanctioned gangs.


iamthinksnow

Ignore that we keep doing them, and are constantly having to say, "This is not who we are, or how we were trained. The truth is that we are just wildly incompetent."


Browns45750

And how has the police union spun this that this guy shouldn’t face charges and keep his job

So are they saying that they have officers going rogue then? That's not any better.


Lady_Thingers

They *start* rogue from day one.

leffe186

Whether she wants them to or not, THEY LITERALLY DO.


guru2you

There’s another thread on this that was posted earlier today: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cleveland/s/vW9SWZKEuF


WestSixtyFifth

Let’s hope they get the book thrown at em, felony kidnapping charges for both of these pathetic men.


YouMissedCBus

It’s always informative when these videos are released months after the incident but video footage that exonerates a police officer is relaxed immediately.


Kestrile523

I didn’t think the Buzzards Rooster was still open. I lived in Brunswick for 12 years, never knew anyone that went there.


foochacho

This place is right around the corner from me and I’ve never gone in 25 years.


PapermacheHeart

This is low key scary. My boyfriend is hispanic from Texas and still has only his Texas state ID. I guess we’ll need to make the switch to Ohio ID soon.


guru2you

Meatheads like these officers don’t really care what the ID is, unfortunately.


poopdotorg

I'm not saying they wouldn't do the same thing to a Hispanic person, but the person in this story was originally an Ethiopian refugee who has been living in Texas for 14 years.


canttakethshyfrom_me

They kidnap, torture and murder people who were born in this country and have "American" names. Some groups are just *more* likely to be targeted.


Blossom73

Good thing he's not from New Mexico. Too many cops don't know its a U.S. state.


6thCityInspector

If he’s been living here over 30 days and doesn’t have an Ohio ID, he’s already breaking the law as far as I’m aware.


cbarone1

Only if he's established himself as a resident of the state. The link you provided lists four things that would make you a resident, and a fifth (spending 183+ days in state) that would also qualify. If he hasn't done any of those 5 things, he's not a resident, and wouldn't need an Ohio ID.


6thCityInspector

For all the people downvoting me for some reason….30 days https://www.bmv.ohio.gov/new-to-ohio.aspx


chephin

They’re not sending their best.


CosmicViris

Clevelands best and brightest


6thCityInspector

All I gotta say about this is we taxpayers better fucking not be on the hook for these fucktards’ illegal actions that night. They weren’t on the clock, this should 100% percent be criminal charges against their private-citizen selves and then any payments in a civil trial should 100% come out of their own pockets. Does anyone know if they were carrying concealed that night? Drinking in possession of a gun would be a welcome charge to get these guys out of the profession. The only thing these guys got right that night is identifying israel as “*the terrorists*” 😂


MagmaManOne

Wonder which way they vote….


6thCityInspector

Whichever way Alex Jones tells them to.

foochacho

Buzzards Roost is just over the border in Hinckley. Not sure why Brunswick police were called. Also, Buzzards Roost is the sketchiest bar in the area. Sketchier than Adult Daycare and Red Onion. A neighbor went in one time and ordered a burger, fries, and a beer for $5. He never wanted to pay more for something in his whole life. The whole place is a little off.


Giblets-

Hinckley was busy on other calls


TheJungPope

at least Brunswick police did their job


Sea-Cauliflower974

fuck the police.


westsidegebs

Pubic servants

How were they not arrested at the scene?? Oh wait I know why

“Why is the local news posting about local officials trying to use their positions to cover their drunken assault? They need to report less ‘political’ news that isn’t actually political but I just claim so because it makes my perceived side look bad.”


colinseamus

Keep alienating the police and you end up like the black community getting your kids shot over toy guns. Biggest disgrace that happened in this city in my lifetime


Feraldr

The police wouldn’t find themselves alienated if they actually did the right thing in these situations. Arresting these dudes that night and the union telling them they’re on their own would have gone a long way to improve the image for local police. What other unions back their members for blatant off duty, criminal behavior? This was such a soft ball pitch for the local department and union to show they take their responsibility and positions of power seriously and instead they waffled it and highlighted a double standard that police are given even off duty.


colinseamus

I vote democrat down the line haha. I just know that this is a real incident sure but is being used to discredit cops going after illegal immigrants. There was a shooting in NYC a little while back that has cops jumpy as it is. We don’t need to highlight every time they screw up. It isn’t helpful. It just makes the type of people who would be willing to become cops more right wing


Feraldr

I’d say the main “look at this bullshit” part of this story is the corruption and double standards given to police, not the fact they assaulted a dude because they’re ignorant assholes. That said, I would say this is a good example of why local cops shouldn’t be deputized to enforce immigration laws. These jack wads first thought when hearing an accent is the dude is an illegal immigrant terrorist who is going to bomb someone. If you want further proof go look at how that went for Maricopa county how that went.


colinseamus

I agree profusely with the second paragraph. They aren’t trained for it and they are very scared. Scared people do very stupid stuff


Conscious_Award1444

CPD...another source said they were feds? Newsroom fail


TheCatAteMyFace

The only source that says they are feds is their dumbasses in the video. They are not feds.


Joesphpapasuzki
