This guy is not simply a bully. He is psychotic and will continue to spread violence unless stopped. His badge only increases his desire to hurt people, it gives him increased power. How he got through the psychological testing phase is beyond me.

Sounds like this moron is either related to somebody important or has something on somebody important

when I was a kid I was told to go to the police if I needed help. My kids are afraid of the cops. They would go to a n Occupy encampment for safety. I just became a sustaining member of the ACLU only sending 15.00 a month but every bit helps. We need more ACLU attorneys to keep fighting for all of us. I hope that baby is okay. He needs intense anger management therapy. Sad too to be a human being that could kick a pregnant lady in the belly. :(

Please understand that all police officers are not bad, most of them are here to do the job they get paid to do. But you still have that good old white boy type cop that has that overseer type mind set. Those are the one that need the foot to ass talk. XD

What he needs is an old style ASS whippin’, A few brothers down that way should get together and go have a foot to ass talk with him.

He looks like a Nazi skinhead…. not that everyone with a shaved head is one but a perpensity for violence and a history of seemingly “discriminatory” aggression does make me wonder if there is a another reason he is soo angry……

He’s a bully, Peggy, pure & simple. He picks on women & defenseless animals. But over & above that, those who protected him should be at the very minimum admonished, it should be noted in their personnel files & those women should sue the police force.

Notice how in the two incidents cited, women were involved. I’d say this cop is a bully. He needs to be fired, and their police force sued.

This officer should have been off the force a long time ago. I hope that the womans baby is alright!

What a sick, sick bastard as are those who agree with him. This is why I raised MY daughters to know that cops are very often the last ones we can trust.
I’m very interested in the pathology that a person suffers to make this OK. And that pathology sure seems prevalent in certain posters here.

I want his badge. I want his badge and I want his head. I also want the badges and heads of his superiors. They should all be sacked, and then, the people in charge of the sacking, should then be sacked.

Very well put and you make a solid point. I personally have written to my congresscritter on many issues, and what do I get back a form letter, which tells me.Im here for you! @boingboing-82164bffe4ccc2dbd0163c9486f9e62a:disqus Blablabla, but do they ever really do anything? I doubt it, its all a pacifier. This world is going to hell in a handbasket. Evil rules everywhere. The good will die young more and more.

But also if the woman was getting in his face and what not because its in Georgia and the woman was black, there should have been other ways of dealing with her. Like have your police partner restrain her. Cuff her and put her in jail as well. Though I just don’t see why she had to be kicked in the stomach. That is just wrong. Just like they say if you can’t say anything nice don’t say any thing at all. Or if you can’t play nice, to keep your hands to your self. But because of the fact that he has had previous attacks on helpless people and a dog this guy needs a mental evaluation.

The matter at hand is not the poor use of the english grammar or language, but that this cop should no longer be able to carry a weapon or be apart of the justice system. Cops like these give actual good cops bad names. Just like any other race, sex, or animal that is depicted of being all BAD because of others that ARE bad, is not fair.

I agree most cops think they can do whatever they want and it is okay , and we are suppose to respect these people , no way I would not even trust them as far as I can throw them and that is not too far.

I agree, his job needs to be terminated, obviously this cop is an idiot. You wonder if this is what he does on the job what would he do with his own family. Pregnant woman go through crying stages they do not need to have a reason to cry and he had no right to kick her in the stomach their is no way that is in the manual that it is okay to kick a pregnant woman in the stomach, if that was me I would be suing his butt off and if anything is wrong with that baby when it is born they should press charges against him for assault , attempted murder, whatever they can get the jerk on. Cops think because they carry a badge they are above authority and anything they do , even if it is against the law it is okay because they are a cop. I use to trust , respect and have faith in them after a situations I went through with my son that is not longer the case I do not respect, trust or have faith in them.

look at this supposed cop he looks like he is fresh out of high school more than likely one of those kids stuffed into locker as a kid in high school, further more he looks like one of the skinheads we have in pockets around this nation

The real issue here is where are the “good” cops? We always hear that they are in there somewhere, but you never hear them stand up and say, “My fellow officer was wrong”. And you never will. The “thin blue line” is above the law and beyond reproach. The officer who breaks ranks to “snitch” on their “internal matters” is soon expelled. You will never see a cop, who wants to stay a cop, do the right thing in cases like this. So in reality there are no good cops. How can you call one “good” when he would stand mute while things like this go on right in front of him, just to protect the “Thin Blue Line”

As a non-American I initially found this story mind-boggling, almost incomprehensible. Why didn’t Wheeler’s colleagues restrain him? Or even shoot him?

Then I looked at the picture of Ms Dozier’s huge pregnant stomach.

She’s black. (As I suspect most American readers would have immediately understood.)

It’s Georgia.

It all makes monstrous, racist, genocidal sense now.

Honestly, America, when are you going to stop this vileness for good and all?

Hi Tom! I totally agree with you on this. I don’t understand what the problem is when things like this comes into play. The cops are given authority to protect and serve, not terrorize and destroy. I am confused by this and how they are always supported for their bad behavior…it’s unacceptable, especially when there has been similar behavior in their past.

Why is it overlook? It’s like they are praises for attacking helpless people. Twisting the arm of a 53 year old woman, come on. Dude has some issues he needs to work out. He needs to be removed from the force and made to answer for his actions. Those in charge are only telling this cop and others that their behavior is alright and they will be excused in the event something like this happens. The justice system is not working…it needs to be re-vamped from the inside out from the top to the bottom (period).

I believe the rabbi comment was in reference to the rabbi/mohels giving those poor babies STDs during the circumcisions they performed where they ritually suck the blood off the penis after they cut off the foreskin. At least two babies cut by one Mohel died of infection.

I thought they meant that the cops refused to pay. Or that the insurance company refused to pay for damages to the cop car.
