Monongalia County Sheriff’s Deputy Lance Kuretza was indicted by the Feds as a result of this never-before-seen bodycam footage showing him suddenly confronting and arresting an innocent man, who was sleeping in a hotel room. I tried to get the footage over two years ago. Since then, he was acquitted by a federal jury in his criminal prosecution. Now he’s back to work as a deputy. But should he have a badge in light of this footage, showing what really happened that night?

Every single cop on scene needs fired and their certification revoked for life.
ive seen probably a thousand of videos of police corruption brutality at this point the last 15 years and this gets in the top 10 for sure. Throw the book at this guy. Completely unhinged.
Wow… talk about a small man trapped in a bully’s body that’s this officer. He’s clearly got some kind of issue where he needs to feel power, maybe this fuck needs to see a shrink because if he’s bullying a man who clearly speaks limited English in front of his other officers imagine what he’s like when he’s alone… how anyone found him not guilty is either a sign of a severe illness in this area because of racism or arrogance or just fear of having to face these monsters once the trial was over. Sad days for the citizens in this area.
I wonder if the 1 officer that spit in the sink where people wash their hands and dishes I wonder if he spits in his own sink at home. He had to have been a tobacco product why else would he spit like that. That was just nasty.
If only there was full video, what happened in Auschwitz vs AMERICAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS, all I needed to do, is tell you all, "You are now a jury member, in your duty, just watch these videos, FIRST, THE AMERICAN ONE and then, the Polish, to make your verdict."
NEXT, after the Germans time, in Auschwitz, "STOP, dont go anywhere, now WE CONTINUE, TO SHOW YOU ALL, what the RUSSIANS DID IN AUSCHWITZ AFTER, the Germans were no longer protecting the prisoners and Americans have fucked off."
= AMERICANS, RUSSIANS and Their Minions, the British, would be all shoved in to a Space Rocket, with one way ticket, in to SUN! Cause, people always seem to forget, Americans to exist, have lived their lives like LOCUST, FOLLOWING THEIR EASTERN EUROPEAN COMMUNIST MASTERS, to massacre millions of brown people, so their masters could go through the ruins, of brown people countries, to rob everything they find after, to stash all the loot, in to their vaults in ISRAEL. You know, where the Fort Knox Gold is also, taken away in the 1980s, when the Atheist, commie criminals had enough influence, in American "government."
PS: The video is HORRIBLE, but what the allied criminals, who started the WW2, did to the European Christians, to be able to rob them all, was infinite more worse and I THINK, every intellectually honest country, up to FINLAND, WOULD CUT TIES TO AMERICA AND ACTUALLY BAN ALL AMERICANS OUT OF THEIR COUNTRIES, for what the Americans did to the German Christians(1945), in the open air prison camps, with NO SHELTER FROM THE ELEMENTS and after the AMERICAN OFFICER, RESPONSIBLE OF THOSE PRISONERS HEALTH, was reminded, to DELIVER THE FOOD AID, WHOLE WORLD WAS SENDING, TO KEEP THE Christians healthy and fed…
"Sir, we have no more room, for more food, people are sending to the Christian prisoners here, if any more is sent to our location. What we should do?"
…Really?
THE AMERICAN SUB HUMAN PIECE OF SHITS, BURNED ALL THE FOOD AID, SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERED, TO THE GERMAN CHRISTIAN PRISONERS.
= People, you watch those videos about American cops, behaving like the VERY SAME, ATHEIST, NEO JEWISH COMMUNIST PARASITES, THAT THE AMERICANS, AND THE BRITISH, RUSHED TO HELP, TO EXPAND THE CHRISTIAN MASSACRE AND ROBBERY OPERATION, IN TO EUROPE, UP TO FINLAND!!! So, it should not come to you as a surprise, that those exact the same commieTYRANTS, ARE NOW IN FULL CONTROL, OF AMERICANS TOO, CAUSE YOU LIVE SUICIDAL LEVEL HYPOCRISY *AND EVEN TAKE PRIDE, FOR SELLING YOUR SOULS TO SATAN, WITH ALLIANCE, WITH THE VERY DISGUSTING, EASTERN EUROPEAN(I call them EEs), ATHEIST, NEO JEWISH COMMUNIST CRIMINAL TYRANTS!!!
(FYI, they are the exact origin, of the INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY MODEL, they use to govern their VICTIMS, THE CHRISTIANS, cause if anyone is caught, of exposing the REAL LIFE CRIMES, OF THOSE COMMIE TYRANTS, they always whine and CRY, HATE SPEECH!!! Cause, even they, themselves, have slandered their victims, FROM THE 1917 and today use the BIGGEST ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES, TO CONVEY THE HATE PROPAGANDA, SLANDER AND MISINFORMATION, AGAINST THEIR VICTIMS!!!)
PPS: Everyone, do not forget, that those cops, are the BEST OF THE AMERICANS, NOT THE WORST and possibly, the ones who have not criminal record yet? (Possibly? Hard to think so, but I just made a guess here!) They choose the best they find and thanks to the people, who publish these videos, to advise the rest of the world, to understand exactly, what kind of people, the Americans best are!!! Reason is: Specially, so you wouldnt make the mistake, to think, they only choose the WORST, to carry those badges of Tyranny and Exploitation, that they represent today.
CAUSE the LAWS, TO THE COPS… are just like the pirates code, unwritten and mostly giving the desired direction, how to coexist, with other PIRATES.
They need to have a 3rd party observer at every police station.
you know these judges can have a discriminatory intent intent to tell the jury something but the jury can literally disregard what the judge says because it is up to the jury of the our peers under our laws of our land that the jury decides what is jurisprudence and not the judge or anyone else under the laws of our land the people that know this the judges can't order the jury to do that s***.
this is so disgusting and hard to watch….didnt even identify themselves and took advantage of drunk guy to beat the crap out of him, completely horrifying, dude belongs in hell
The jurors don"t want that happening to them so they side with the cops. It's nothing new.
There’s gonna be more victims from this police department. Absolutely without a doubt 10000% sure of it. Their demeanor as soon as they showed up was aggressive. Thin blue line huh? Pathetic.
So so evil.
The cop acted like a NAZI.
"put your foot out, stop moving"
so all the "mucho mucho caliente" and "caliente" they are going on about, was that translated for the jury? that being "very very hot" and "hot" so basically pepper spray.
So I take that there were search warrants for those rooms right? as those rooms were rented.
This is foul
this verdict was 2 years ago?
Looks like lying is a part of the virtue of the precinct
Disgusting. They should all be charged and let loose in general population for letting this happen.
he is being the most compliant person ever arrested. he even basically apologized for getting the shit kicked out of him, to the person who did it…yet through out the entire thing hes taunting the guy. you can tell he wants to beat him up more, when he goes to stand up out of his chair the officer reaches for his hoodie like he wants to rip him back by the hoodie and then he hesitates and stops himself, hes just itching to hurt this guy. the balls someone would have to have to defend this is insane. jury needs to decide based on morals. disgusting.
And he and the others got a green light to abuse others i the future.
This should have never happened.
And all of those officer's entered that room violated them and went along with all of it.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I don't understand how morons can support tyrant beast
These Nazis should go to Israel join their friends
Now imagine if that is a black guy then the cop would have done worst.
I have to wonder if the jury was composed of law enforcement families?
Hold court on the streets. Guarantee the verdict will be different.
What is he guilty of he was asleep
7:11 also the way he talked to that guy on the couch really pisses me off. It’s an age old saying “without that badge you a bitch and a half” and truly the shoe fits in this situation. The power trip some people have with a badge really is disturbing
Most jury persons don't wan to be there and if they are racist and all about the officers etc like minded or whatever. That's is what they did
I myself would be bad at a jury because depending on the situation I would prolong the trial because to make sure that whichever party was wrong or right like right there I would be guilty and the only one that would say it too. For obvious reasons
These are not officers of the law. These are just paid cops/thugs that walk in from jump with ego driven attitude. There was no reason to walk into this situation with all that egotistic attitude and bossing these guys around as if they are in the pig/cops personal boot camp. I am so ashamed of what we have in America as public servants. I am ashamed of our government for letting it get this way. These cops do not follow the rules, laws, nor policies because they don't have to. We do little to nothing to hold cops accountable for how they act. Look at how this one cop talks. "I got the problem solver; I got the problem solver…You like that problem solver? I got the solution, you like that?" He's getting joy out of applying pain and disgrace to a man that he knows is probably drunk, doesn't understand what is going on and, as far as the officer knows, has done nothing wrong and committed no crime. He should not even be in the room, much less accosting the man. He is so tough, so ego driven that he don't have a single thought about the citizens rights, his feelings, if he committed a crime or not. We let these legal gang members walk our streets with guns and we do little to nothing to hold them accountable. There is no way this cop would act like this on my job. If I acted like that, being a verbally abusive jerk, talking to my coworkers or customers with disresepct, I would be fired instantly. We need to do better. This is a disgrace.
Damn I went to WVU in Mon county during this time n didn’t even know about this
😢😢😢
