Kentucky State Police Trooper James Cameron Wright has finally been indicted by the feds for multiple civil rights violations, which were not only known by his chain of command, but some of which were personally reviewed and approved by the literal head of the Kentucky State Police. This includes beatings, perjury, and more. Kentucky civil rights attorney Chris Wiest gives us the scandalous details, including exclusive new bodycam footage of one of the incidents.

Sure don’t surprise me at all
2nd amendment.
Forced to resign and gets to keep his pension! 👍🏾
That is bullshit that he is still getting paid!!!!!
a sadistic trooper …how unlucky can you get.
Funny how in every state, State Police are pieces of shit.
That cop is craven. Cop needs to start looking over his shoulder
Kentucky is a violent state if this is any indication. What do the politicians have to say about this type of behavior. I'm joking if course we know the elected officials encourage it
wow, just ridiculous. Complete nonsense and psychopathic and a liar
Come on man, being a state trooper is a tough job. You can’t expect them to do their job and not commit felonies at the same time..
Soo dang eager to beat someone, barking orders and not waiting for compliance before getting violent and clearly not actually thinking even remotely rationally.
When a trooper or officer has to fill out multiple reports of use of force isn't that a major flaming red flag?
I'm constantly sickened by what people, officers in these instances, are capable of with no regard for human decency.
Even more that I passed all tests and was hired as a police officer but was fired my first day because my ex was afraid as a police officer I would have a higher power in court during our child custody case. Now I see she was probably right but I would have been a just officer that they lost by lying to get an order of protection to make me lose my career.
This is horrendous.
Thank the lord i moved away from the Radcliffe/BFE area after getting out of the Army at knox.
No wonder people stay out of these ass backwards states like Kentucky!!
How rotten are police departments across America? Totally rotten.
Paid vacation will be working in a different place soon. Their all the same
Kentucky isn't known for good police practices it is a known thing. Additionally, Kentucky State Police (KSP) troopers have faced federal charges related to civil rights violations. In one instance, a federal grand jury indicted one former and two current KSP troopers for violating individuals' civil rights while acting as troopers. Well lets see the Louisville Metro Police Dept. Was investigated by U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). They investigated the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) and found: Specifically, the DOJ's report found that LMPD:
Engaged in excessive force: This included unjustified neck restraints, unreasonable use of police dogs and tasers.
Used discriminatory policing practices: The report cited evidence of racial profiling against Black people.
Conducted unlawful searches: This included searches based on invalid warrants and unlawfully executing warrants without knocking and announcing.
Violated the rights of individuals engaged in protected speech: This involved infringing upon the rights of those critical of the police.
Failed to adequately address the needs of people experiencing behavioral health crises: The report highlighted inadequate responses to mental health crises and a lack of specialized training.
This cop needs to go to jail and get some prison justice
Good people don't become cops and turn bad! Bad people become cops so they can be legally bad!
💩 cop!
Hång this pig
It's a damn shame that we have to spend much more time protecting and defending ourselves from "law enforcement".
Trump administration will stop the Feds case
The feds don't care until they're forced to, our government cares nothing about us and don't even know we exist until we stop paying taxes
That officer's behavior is brave, and exemplary.
(typing from one of the multiverses!)..& over here, we send officers!, like this one! to Earth, and some are like in that movie, Tenet!.. unfortunately, because we're a reflection of Earth, most of those officers will be backwards! during their duties!😖
Wow! The KSP officer is one scary MF'er!! Dude needs to go work somewhere without communication with the community
We knew this about Kentucky decades ago. The police are privateers with state sanction. Do not travel.
There's more to this interaction than what's on camera.
Eye for an eye justice is needed in these circumstances. It's the only fair option to deal with corruption.
That trooper is sure a piece of work.
You have to REALLY use alot of force to dislocate someones shoulder who is standing on both feet!
Kentucky state police are very corrupt especially post 4 but I'm sure most are the same
I need to move
Earning The Hate!
And Trump wants to use our tax dollars to pay to defend officers brought up in these kinds of cases.
Just US
Can you afford it?
Hope they Lock his Ass up for a long time and get abuse in Prison !
This is not new with KSP
You're doing great work. Thank you.
This had been going on for hundreds of years. No one noticed because the victims were black, native, or immigrants.
there should NEVER be an internal investigative system!!!! MUST BE from an OUTSIDE GROUP of LAWYERS!!!!
Pig: "You mind putting out that cigarette?" "It is getting in my way of violating your rights."
Psychopath

Corruption fears accountability FTP
It should be the requirement for independent auditing of body cam footage. Random checks with no warning. The system that audits should be compromised partly of criminal defense attorneys (or similar representatives) and not just police reps.
