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?

I want to say a lot of things but I can't cuz I'll get cut off from YouTube but I'm going to say is those pig servants r soft by their self if that happened to me guarantee.I'm definitely going to find out where these pig servants live..lol..lol. like I did back in the days many years ago and it's called damage Incorporated I got soldiers that would take care of that all the property damaged Incorporated
That s*** is hard to watch ! And that's people supposed to be protecting us ! I don't know what to say . I think God will have something to say about that 👍
Shameful! He should not be allowed to carry a gun and badge. That cop is psycho!
These idiot cops letting this psychopath kuretza blathering his scum bag nonsense is abhorrent and worthy of punishment in prison.
Kuretza , you're officially a YouTube Brady list POS, soon to be homeless, even your blue line Brothers think you're a POS given them a bad name + it's not your home, it's our home and you work for we the people, who deserve better than your capable of providing!
That monster needs to be in prison AND lose his badge forever! What a psychopath. This kind of cop makes law-abiding citizens hate cops
He's guilty!!! ALL of the monsters that took part in that hotel room need to be arrested, but the main one needs to be thrown in prison for a very very long time. That made me uncomfortable!!
Incredible work
Dude is a serial killer in the making
Of course the officer willfully and intentionally violated that man rights, that why he turned off his body cam. Apparently that jury didn't consider that fact. They had no lawful right to be in the room to begin with!!
No law broken, yet this Jack wagon went way past appropriate force… arrest again and prosecute… this “man” has zero need of a badge
I do not understand why a judge, ,DA whould believe anything a cop says.All they do is lye.
This monster is insane
1:34 already, that jury was a bunch of bootlickers and when it happens to them or their family they will see how Tyrants operate and American politicians aren't doing anything
This cop is is on POWER TRIP!
That cop is INSANE !!! FTP
No wonder cops have such a high divorce rate. It’s hard to be an a**hole at work, and then turn it off at home. I know some good ones, but I also know some bad ones. Psychopath indeed.
All government employees that are taken to ourt should all face a jury and not a sole judge to avoid biased outcomes and corruption.
I look forward to seeing this video (like all your videos) change things. What's wrong with Kuretza's employer?
Kereza will face God one day and he will have to explain himself. In the meantime, you reap what you sow. And kereza has been sowing a brutal crop. It’s not going to go well for him.
that was disturbing, what a disgusting way to treat another human, and for no reason. blows my mind how a jury could get this so wrong. poor guy deserved a couple million, dafaq?! i’d vote guilty and based on that video could never be convinced otherwise
I'd bet it all the jury was intimidated by pigs or someone close to them.
This has to be one of the most egregious cases of excessive force on this channel, which is saying a lot. Wow, cop is such a tough guy. He’s so proud of his handy work. And the verbal torment afterwards is just sickening. I really hope the jury’s poor decision doesn’t influence any civil case. This sorry excuse for law enforcement needs to be taken for every penny he has, and every penny he will have for the rest of his life. Absolutely disgusting.
Now my B.P Is through the roof ..
No state charges?
How would that lowlife despicable tyrant like it if somebody walked into one of his family member's house and started this trash? What a lowlife thinking he's tough with his, "badge balls" bravado.
Guilty! Excessive illegal handling of victim.
The jury were bootlickers, disgusting
Drunk suspect says "you want us to drive?". How does a drunk guy have more logical thinking than a cop? Oh, I forgot, these cops are stupid as f***.
Incredible
Dangerous cops.
Lord. God. This servant in uniform Is a CLEAR. WILD VICIOUS ANIMAL. WHO BADLY NEEDS your Holy. Most. Powerful. Mighty Stick. With your Holy Most. Powerful. Mighty. Hand. That. This Demon. Servant in uniform. deserve and worthy to have in his lifetime—— In. Jesus. Name—-AMEN. AMEN AMEN!!!!
Unfortunately to get revenge is a death warrant for urself.. but they are taken people to the brink that u might not even care.. 😡
Should of beem 1.7 million
Police departments do not hire officers for their intelligence.
Roid Rage.
Jurys get it wrong, No Truer words.
You're doing a great job exposing these corrupt people. No one is on their side except the devils.
