    That's the kind of true commitment that gets you deputy of the year

    Sounds just about typical to me. Very very sadly.

    I'm shocked there was an actual investigation into police misconduct.

    Thats probably why he got the deputy of the year title in Florida.

    Jordon v. The city of New London.

    A police cadet sued for discrimination after being rejected for his IQ score. The case went all the way to SCOTUS who ruled that the town did have a legitimate purpose to screen for intelligence. The twist part: his IQ score was too high.

    Town of Castlerock v. Gonzales:

    The details of this one require a trigger warning, but the short version is that SCOTUS reaffirmed in this case that the police don't have a duty to 1)protect the public, 2)enforce court orders, or 3) uphold the law. See also Dehaney v. Winnebago.

    Police are dumb thugs who don't need you and man they expect the same.

    He is deputy of the year because of these things not in spite of them.

    What’s crazy actually is that there is no “in spite of them.” He had no redemption arch. He was just made DoTY. Shows how shallow the title really is. Surely there would have been a better person to promote as DoTY, but the qualifications for the title were so meek that he got it. Weak ass shit.

    Sorry to ruin your joke.

    "Deputy of the year" operates under the same premise as a dog show, I assume. The deputy that most accurately exemplifies the standard that police hold themselves to.

    I'm not even a little surprised. Many cops are just like this traitor douche. I just wish more folks realized these cops aren't good people and they won't hesitate to turn on any citizen if it benefits them.

    I was told that in my city there is a shortage of police offices - like 5k person shortage.
    Because the applicants can't pass the screening tests... Now if we would implement even stronger screening, that would be interesting for sure.

    What they mean by that is they cant hire enough people who would be complicit.

    Cause police have fought, all the way to the supreme court, for the right to not hire qualified people.. because qualified people who know the law and have a moral code are a direct threat to every segment of policing in America.

    It's dividing a lot of us. Either you're an evil person who is looking at taking advantage of it or you're someone who is starting to think a lot more selfishly due to the current dangers that are building.

    He is a perfect example of a MAGAt. MAGAt of the year in fact.

    come now, surely we can use more passive language here. Someone was involved in some stalking by flock, she had a gun in her mouth, and an incident involving a nazi salute occurred, which is by coincidence under internal investigation by her ex who has been honored as Florida deputy of the year. right?

    Was it Florida that made an offer to hire corrupt cops who were fired in other states?

    That certainly is a new one... Certainly Improving in new ways to prove the sick bastard out of oneself. Only one problem... Leaving Residue on AMERICAN POLICE PROPERTY. But the rests just a patriotic statement. Proud.

    Did he get the award before or after this.

    because I can honestly see police giving him award for stalking, threatening his GF while sieg heiling with how police in America area.

    This kind of shit happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME!!!!!! Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Bullies are attracted to the police force because it allows them to exercise basically unchecked power. Any "good" cops are marginalized, or if they stand up, are driven out or ruined. Look at Christopher DOrner, a basically good man driven over the edge by the LAPD. I was subjected to a years-long campaign of stalking and harassment that involved people with access to police resources, the goal of which was to drive me to suicide, and it was a nightmare. The surveillance state only serves those who can exploit it.

    I think most current research shows absolute power reveals their true nature, they were already shitheads beforehand like you went on to say. I’m aware of the Stanford prison experiments.

    And after the investigation... he was allowed to resign

    They literally thought that tarnishing his CV was too much of a punishment for this raging asshole

    Why do you think he won deputy of the year?

    The 43-page investigation found Fultz had posed for pictures as Adolf Hitler, freely used racial slurs in texts, masturbated on camera in his police vehicle, took pictures of his ex-girlfriend with his service weapon in her mouth during sex, repeatedly broke the law to generate clout online for his motorcycle themed Instagram and TikTok accounts, and used Flock to stalk his ex-girlfriend.

    Florida.

    And even after all that, he is the best cop. The actual best one. All the others are worse.
