Is tough guy Trupo still stalking the streets with a badge and gun???
Rarely do get to hear evil manifest itself out in the open. He should be barred from owning a gun and should never be allowed in any position of power.
You leave us hanging every time.
That really pisses me off. I am tired of "internal investigations," where 9.9 out of 10 times, "no wrongdoing was found." Plus, when some "wrongdoing is found," suspensions with pay makes the wrongdoing worse.
This behavior is nothing new, and if we really bother to know America's TRUE history, including that of the dark foundations of "law enforcement," we'd be on hyper-alert more than we already are. The officers that take a stand against the evils within their profession, they are too often destroyed BEYOND repair.
"Statistics" say that 40% of domestic battery involve police officers. I seriously suspect that that percentage is HIGHLY under-reported.
The little man with a badge seen in this case demonstrates just how high the percentage actually is.
This natzi tyrant should be fired and stripped of his qualified amunity and sued for abuse of power take the lawsuit money out of his pension and his pay check
Obviously his wife or girlfriend is getting it.
He should have been fired on the spot!!
WV sux, total police state.
Holy shit, imagine how that cop talks to his partner.
Never go to the police station. Never open the door. Do not talk to the police. Their job is to harm and get money from civilians
She did well. Recorded him and let him be the asshole first. All of you auditors need to take a lesson from her. Auditing is provoking witch makes you the asshole first. She let him be the asshole first witch gave it more value.
Every person this Tyrant has abused/voilate should come forward with a complaint at this time it will hold more weight after this was aired!
This guy has no business in any job that deals with the public. He shouldn't even be allowed to be a dog catcher because he would abuse the animals. They will investigate themselves and I'm sure that they will find he acted appropriately. Protect and serve my azz!
Why is he still a cop? Or the others who were in the building? TYARNTS! Devil's army, they kill with out any thought! LAWSUIT!!!
Any update on this?
Sure that’s our state police 👮♂️
That’s what you can expect
Nobody in the police will criticize him
What in the world is going on in West Virginia
40% of all cops commit DV and here's one of them
Out of control cop. Absolutely no semblance of professionalism. Should be sued and fired. I can only imagine how that guy treats his wife and kids (if he has a wife or kids). Holy moly!
He was suspended without pay for 3 days. The station had to fight for 3 weeks to get that info from WVSP after they denied releasing it multiple times. The media had to provide the police with legal education, specifically the WV Supreme Court precedent that held the public has a right to review disciplinary action records against state police. It’s funny how they didn’t already know that, isn’t it?🙄
White men who hate other racist or the problem
Not the government white people especially white men who want you to believe everyone else is the problem in thus Country
A trooper like that definitely is a Tyrant and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. There's no excuse for that kind of behavior.
With in policy's internal investigation says it's there laws not actually laws
Bet he is a blast on traffic stops too!!! More complaints will be coming in on this guy. Too bad she didn't have the camera on him.
What an ass ole!!!! Hope he gets what is coming to him….
Lawsuit?
Allot of vulgar language!
Woof woof, I’m wagging my tail.
It’s the government enacting this crap.
a statement was released saying this guy was "Disciplined," but gave no specifics. Im sorry, someone that does this should be fired, immediately. Dont they take a psych test prior to getting hired? Wouldnt this kind of anger be a problem> NOBODY that has this kind of anger issues should be allowed to police the public. You think this was the first time he has done something like this? yea, sure it was.
Anyone who lives in WV like myself probably isn’t surprised by this encounter as this kinda of behavior and disrespect for the general public is not the exception but rather the norm!!
This was so wrong!
A retired Florida police officer moved into a town I used to live in. He started a "management" company to "help" local businesses deal with their customers. Of course, he was a complete a-hole. I called him after he took over receiving payments after I had gotten a piece of mail that mistakenly said I was 2 months in arrears for a storage unit I had, where I actually paid a full year in advance once per year, and still was prepaid for 8 months. He hadn't received any payments from me and assumed I was behind without looking at the ledger. He immediately began yelling at me on the phone like this state Trooper, unhinged, and I hung up the phone.
I called the business owner and gave her my one month notice and a demand to refund my last 7 months. "I'll be out next week when I get back from this trip." I told her how her new management company was doing.
I talked to my best friend who had exactly the same complaint about him. He was retired from nasa and took no sh*t from anyone. Believe me he took care of it.
The owner told me when i saw her, "Dont leave. I'll look into this." But she didn't look into it fast enough.
When I got home, I went straightaway to the real estate office where he had just become an agent, where he was also running his "management" company. Having never met him in person, I walked in and asked for the guy by name. He heard me ask, saw the receptionist point at him. He saw me coming and pointed to a closed office behind him. I knew immediately that it was him. I started with, "You ever disrespect me like that again we are going to gave a huge problem. I'm coming back in 30 minutes, and you're going to have my updated receipt showing that I'm paid in full for one year, with 8 paid months remaining."
He tried to apologize as I turned and left. But he stuck his big foot in his big mouth, and my friend gave him the same treatment and much more, because of his mouth, not nearly as nice as I treated him.
When I returned in about an hour, he had my papers, correct. I grabbed them without a word and turned to leave.
He made the mistake of saying something smart behind my back, which I heard. I told him, "You should go back to Florida and become a cop again if you can't change that old crusty cop attitude. You and your CPA wife, both."
I'd done an investigation on him and found out he was supposed to retire or be fired. He acted shocked that I knew this much about him. So… I said "OH you can't go back to work, can you? You were fired. But, you better go back there, anyway. Get out of our town."
I told him he should leave. He was gone the next week. It wasn't because of my words, either. Every business owner he was screwing, getting extra payments from us and passing almost nothing on to the owners… they fired him. He lost his business. People who mistreat others don't get my sympathy. Quite the opposite.
This so called Police Officer is a dangerous violent felon. This So Called Police Officer needs to be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced to prison. Where is Merrick Garland?
That cop needs to be fired.
I hope she sues the pants off of them! Appalling!
And no other police there say anything?
Thank you for all that you do. As someone who lives in a city where the police have shown their true colors over and over, I appreciate the need for your activism.
The allegations against Trooper Trupo were sustained, West Virginia State Police Major J. T. Findley told 5 News.
Findley said he could not elaborate on the specifics of what “disciplinary action” was taken, but did say Trupo is stilled employed by WVSP.
Something tells me Trupo has issues with members of the feminine sex, in other words he doesn't care much for women.
What is the point in an investigation?
Trooper a total and complete P O S.
Even more reason to always record your interactions with government.
It is obvious the commander expects this kind of behavior. How do I know? How many PROFESSIONAL STATE TROOPERS heard that, witnessed it and did nothing? It is obvious that the governor condones and expects this. How do I know?? How long has this been on YouTube alone and in three months still has not shown professional leadership and removed this cop with no hope of return??
He needs to be fired from his job.Anything less is just bs.
It's been said that many people become police officers not to help the public , but because they desire the power. As to internal investigations this can also be used to harass the person filing the complaint.
I lived in Morgantown, West Virginia for a number of years. (Owned and operated a "gentlemens club" business with my Husband.) Bars in particular are often targeted for robberies and anytime alcohol is served you can expect a few testosterone related scuffles, so cultivating a positive relationship with local law enforcement is practically a business requirement. Unfortunately, this business was just outside of the city reach and we were forced to deal with WVSP as opposed to the county sheriff's outfit.
I could fill a book with the level of harassment and overreach we suffered at their hands. It was outrageous what these men were allowed to get away with. It was 100% retaliatory, related to our support of the victim of a sexual assault these same State cops were directly involved in.
I was fortunate that we had a loyal customer base of "regulars" who went above and beyond to keep an eye out for us and our employees. A fair amount of these men were members of a recognizable motorcycle club.We never had a single instance of violence inside that bar for the 4 years I was directly involved in daily operations.
My point is this: the West Virginia State troopers regularly hindered and harassed us, broke laws they had sworn an oath to protect and uphold and placed us squarely in the path of harm. They were far worse than the cross-section of criminal contact we have come to expect from being a public facing, cash business open all night.
Those bikers, however?
They spent THEIR time, without pay, making certain that our business and employees were safe and protected and expected nothing in return. They were gracious, supportive and unbelievably helpful in navigating around the scoflaws masquerading as leo's within that barracks.
When any business owners trust A BIKER GANG over the State police, there's a problem that runs far deeper than I was willing to deal with. I didn't have the stomach to fight that hard, and my husband took over full control of that establishment.
I owe those boys a huge debt. I will forever support and defend that club and those men…to this day, decades later my heart is filled with gratitude for how they supported us when the cops were content to burn our business to the ground.
Never judge a book by its cover. The good guys in blue trope is a myth.
I'll take a biker over a WV State trooper any day of the week…because the bikers are far safer, more honest and way less violent.
