South Whitley, IN Cop slams 18 year old girl.

Watching now. The Dad shows up and his Dad is a retired State Trooper. Interesting.

 

[Super Bee]

Yep, this has been making the rounds on FB this past week.

My guess is he will be given an early retirement package minus the party.

 

[Piezak]

This officer is wrong. He has exacerbated the situation due to his lack of experience and seems to be struggling with control issues. However, the girl seems to maintain a fairly cool demeanor. The officer later also distorts some of the details when the father arrives.

Looks like he's a Town Marshall. In Indiana, they are Tier 2 where ACTUAL City police are Tier 1. Tier 2 only require 6 or so weeks of training I would venture little to no, formal field training.. He previously work at Monrovia PD but was suspended 10 days for his conduct at a race track. That department only uses unpaid, part-time officers. So they make their money working gigs like this track.

He then left for some department in Indy (only school police or hospital police would recognize a Tier 2 credential) then off to this latest gig up north. Sorry sack for sure.

Nope, Town Council and Marshall have opted to retain him.

 

[DragonGunner]

Well they had their chance to get rid of him for another altercation that got him suspended for 10 days late last year. Plus reeducation camp which didn’t seem to work.

Based solely on that video, I would conclude Brian Schimmel seems to be a ****.

Stay tune. I suspect we will see more of him in time to come.

 

[BigRed]

The 18 year old girl seems more in control of her emotions than does Mr. Schimmel.

Set for jury trial October 2, 2024.

 

[Brad69]

So let me get this right.

1. Get a no pay position as town law guy.

2. Make up my own uniform I am thinking all leather mad max style.

3. Loose control in a non stressful traffic stop rough up 18 year old that weighs 90lbs.

4. Keep your job.

5. Priceless

 

[PGRChaplain]

And he's OUT!

Big Hoss is a lot harder to take down than an 18 year old girl, huh?

And taxpayers will fund the cost.

 

[Aggar]

What a piece of garbage.

 

[DragonGunner]

And taxpayers will fund the cost.

They need to change this to the cop paying in most cases.

 

[Colt556]

We definitely don’t need cowboys like him giving our good officers a bad name. He’d probably poop himself if he had to deal with a real criminal some dark night.

 

[Denny347]

Well, in civil suits, the officer AND the City/Town as well as the Department are all named as separate entities. Three separate pockets, at least initially. Small departments are privately insured and that may be different than the City/Town they operate in. The suits typically allege officer actions violate 4th Amendment stuff, department for training or negligent retention, and City/Town for lack of oversight of department. So while the IDEA of the officer pays everything out of pocket seems to be an easy thing to say on the interwebz, it's totally disconnected with reality. If the officer acted outside of department policy and/or law, then the department won't cover the officer's expense.

 

[Alamo]

This guy seems to be a bomb, waiting to go off in somebody’s face. Is there an avenue to complain to the state agency that accredits or commissions police officers? Since the Whitley DA and Town Council don’t seem to be up to the task. I guess it’s gonna be up to the girl and her civil litigation attornies that to fix the problem.
