Sickening!
Proof of corruption all the way to the op in law enforcement matters here. Falsifying police reports and charges against innocent people is a criminal act. When the police tell lies they tell whoppers! This is as criminal as it gets. There is no one side or another here, only the truth and facts. The facts back up the innocent civilian not the police chief that lies and falsified charges and reports. So the DA says it is alright for law enforcement to tell lies and falsify reports and charges against the innocent and break federal laws? They all need investigating all the way to the DA prosecutors the judges etc… Corruption, corruption…..
So much CYA from all party. Really show how corrupt America is right now. So sad!
The Chief needs to be fired and charged immediately! The video clearly shows the cops are lying and yet nothing is being done? Its bad enough that we know this goes on all the time, but to have them try and cover this up is an outrage! Anyone involved needs to be fired and charged. They don't get to lie and continue to work like nothing happened. So glad it all got recorded or an innocent man would be in jail right now.
ACAB.
In the criminal justice system, the people are sometimes abused by two separate, yet equally hypocritical groups: corrupt police, who commit crimes or violations; and the unethical district attorneys, who protect the police offenders. TCRL tells their stories.
The chief is definitely the criminal, and so is the Manheim police department for allowing a crime to be committed and then covering it up.. The DA SEEMS to be aiding and abetting. But alas, they are all above the law.
Well he can't have assaulted him with a deadly weapon for his haircut, so we can rule that one out.

Places in and around Lancaster are old school and tightknit. They still think it's 1970. It's mainly very traditional with deep Dutch and German roots. Generally, a nice place to live with limited crime. I think this leads to police acting more like parents following their feelings instead of following laws. There was no reason to point a gun and assault the poor kid.
It's to bad there wasn't audio when the cop jumped out of his car and pulled the gun because he may have been identifing himself as a police officer but, if he didn't he's lucky he did 'ent get a gun pulled on him and it would have been self-defense…
The da are worse than police
The criminal should face serious charges, get the Chief into court to defend his assault on a member of the public going to work. Wow! How many lives are destroyed by this abuse of power exercised freely by LE.
I hope he sues them for a lot of money plus a lot more money.
Why don’t the LAZYFUKNPIGS go find some REAL CRIME ? This INNOCENT CITIZEN did NOTHING. Kop should be in JAIL 👹
Gaslighting grubament
I've been watching these video reports of police officer for some days… I didn't think that in America you have such unethical enforcement department to normal citiziens, it's really worrying
Where is the camera footage and audio from the police vehicle?
Surely that would have recorded the entire situation from the initial interaction. The cop should have had his lights on but , so did he chase the motorcyclist without warning the other road users there was a chase in progress. That idiot cop is lucky the motorcyclist wasn't armed. Residents need to be more discerning about who they elect into public office. The chief is unfit for this type of work and the DA needs to answer in a public meeting for her reasoning behind sweeping this aside like nothing serious happened here.
Thank God for cameras! This dangerous armed thug Chief is very fortunate that deadly force wasn't used as self defense against him!
Luv how you call out this kind ofBULL$hit !!
