Canton, OH update

That's great news. Medical leave? Are you ****ting me? Medical leave?

This guy needs to go on striped uniform leave. Well, that's a good start.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, KF!

Good news, I hope a civil suit is next.

According to one of my brothers-in-law (who is a small-town LEO in OH) "That guy needs to be out of a job and in jail."...speaking of the other officer.

I'm glad to see his charges were dropped and judge threw out the case, but this is far from over for the PO involved. I hope the someone continues to pursue it, only a matter of time before someone ends up seriously injuried or even dead over his actions if he returns from his medical leave back to full time duty.

His partner perjured himself on the stand, but isn't being charged with perjury. He was 100% complicit and they both have a history of mysteriously-malfunctioning video equipment, according to testimony reported on OHCC.

Anyone else think that we could offer to help this guy with attorney bills / ticket cost? Just as a sign that we are all in this together

That's good news. I wonder if he'll be filing a suit against the department?

Case against Bartlett was tossed out today, nice.

I'm not much on lawsuits but Mr Bartlett definitley needs full reimbursement, vindication and then some. And Harless needs. . .I don't know. . . .help?

I can pitch in for that....

Great news for the citizen. I doubt he has the stomach to pursue a civil case. He probably just wants to be left alone. I, too, would contribute to his defense fund.

A civil case is already in the works and has been for some time now. Officer Harless' "medical leave" is a premeditated legal move in preparation for a defense.

The video is just shocking.. what kind of legal issue is there with a cop threatening to Kill you while in custody... "I should have pulled my Glock 40 and shoot you"

WTF, I hope people of Crapton, OH do sth for the poor guy.

On another note we should be grateful the video saw the light of day and the officer will be removed before he actually hurts someone.

Harless will doubtless plead some sort of mental disease or defect if he is sued. The taxpayers shouldn't have to foot his defense.

His partner needs to find a new job too.
