If being “good” means doing the right thing, even when it costs you, then “good cops” are almost non-existent.

Which is precisely why I WOULD NEVER TRUST or BELIEVE anything a Police Officer in Amerika says, they are all corrupt in my opinion for this very reason, Time and Time again we see entire Police Departments STAND IN UNITY FOR A COMMON CRIMINAL because he or she has a Badge. Needless to say this TERRORIST BELONGS IN PRISON FOR LIFE, Yes I said Terrorist, Anybody else would be charged with “Making Criminal Terrorist Threats” Canton citizens need to FIRE THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT and the Politicians in charge, then A new DA could file Charges against ALL OF THEM for their Conspiracy against the citizenry of Canton, Ohio. They are all accomplices and should all be treated as such.

Let’s see . . . June, July, August, September, October, November, December and finally January . . . only 8 months to decide to fire this out of control LEO. Where I work behavior like this will get you fired right there right then.

PTSD is obviously a disease

It can't be that obvious if Harless could have it for eight years and only have it "discovered" when his ass is in a sling....

Am I the only person who saw the video of him going nuts TEN years ago. That predates his BS claim of PTSD.

You said it. so many people say there are only a few bad apples, and ignore the “good cops” who enable the bad cops by keeping their mouths shut. Good cops don’t do that.

“If I as a mere serf had threatened to murder someone during a profanity laced tirade, would I be walking around free or would I be up on felony charges?”

That depends on weather or not you have freedom of speech or not. Just words, tirade your head off no harm done. Put actions behind those words then there's a case.

I think they are saying that because police have to deal with the threat of psychos who might murder them it is perfectly A-OK for a police officer to act like a psycho and threaten to murder people.

THIS is the kind of guy LEO’s circle the waggons around, donate sick days to, and think should still have a badge and a gun and a position of grave responsibility in the community.

Doesn't speak well of any of them.

Most people that have a bad day on their job can go home, put their legs up and relax,” Adams said. “We can go home from our jobs in a body bag or with a serious physical injury from the hospital.

wheres the WAAAAAAAAAmbulance ???

instead of being charged and tried, this POS will soon re-locate to a small town, get a new badge, and become a danger to another citizen...

He scared me too and I am nowhere near Canton. There are at least 2 other videos of Harless being violent. Glad he is fired, but what about his partner? His partner should have tried to reign him in and didn’t.

"Harless unleashed a flurry of profanities at the driver..."

Did he call him a chickenf***er?

“It affects people in different ways. Unfortunately, (Harless) had PTSD, and it wasn’t realized for eight years.

This guy has menstrual periods??

I don’t care what the guy’s problem is. His behaviour should have set off the alarm bells at HQ immediately. He should have been gone a long time ago.

"Police force took their time, but eventually did the right thing in firing the guy."

I guarantee you the reason the "Police force took their time" was so they could tiptoe around the union!

Well, it manifests itself in different ways, Different people are affected differently blah blah blah, etc etc etc, take the psychobabble and bend it whichever way you'd like.

*IF* (and I did, in my original post, say 'if') the guy is suffering from it, then he needs help. I've seen the effects of PTSD, and they're lousy. He also needs to have his badge and gun taken away, immediately.

But, you're right. After 8 years, this smells funny.

Wouldn’t surprise me. I know that it’s damn near impossible to get fired from a Gov’t job. I can’t imagine how hard it is to get fired from a UNIONIZED government job.

I missed the officers donating sick time. They are endorsing his behavior. Canton PD better be on a watch.
