Daniel Harless, the cop who went ballistic and threatened someones life because he wouldn't shut up long enough to let the guy tell him he had a CCW and was carrying. It caught up with him and this thug is now off the streets of Canton Ohio.
CANTON — A pattern of verbal abuse and death or physical threats was too much for the city to overlook when deciding to fire Patrolman Daniel Harless, according to the safety director. Safety Director Thomas Ream issued the ruling Tuesday and released the three-page report explaining it Wednesday. The internal affairs division of the Police Department had investigated three traffic stops involving Harless, each one filmed by a cruiser dash camera. Investigators said that the officer had violated rules for conduct, cooperation with the public and handling persons. The most controversial and publicized was a traffic stop in June involving a man with a permit to carry a concealed handgun. During the June stop, Harless told William Bartlett, 52, of Brewster, that “as soon as I felt your gun, I should have took two steps back, pulled my Glock 40 and just put 10 bullets in your *** and let your drop. And I wouldn’t have lost any sleep. Do you understand me?” Also during the stop, Harless, then 45, told Bartlett that he was “so close to caving in (Bartlett’s) head.” The traffic stop occurred around 1:40 a.m. in the 100 block of Newton Avenue NW. In November, a municipal court judge threw out a concealed carry charge against Bartlett. He pleaded no contest to a traffic violation — stopping in the roadway — and was fined $150. “I believe justice was served,” Bartlett said Wednesday. “I really don’t know what to say. I’m glad to see it went that way. “I’m ready just to get back to a normal life,” he said. When pulled over by Harless and the patrolman’s partner, Bartlett was armed with a .38-caliber Ruger pistol, which he was permitted to carry under state law. “It is quite clear that (Harless’) actions represented a pattern of behavior where inappropriate verbal abuse and threats of death or great bodily harm of the various complainants occurred,” Ream wrote in his ruling. “This escalating pattern of potentially dangerous behavior cannot be justified or excused and clearly illustrates the seriousness of the departmental infractions,” he added. NO CRIMINAL CHARGES The city law department asked the Massillon prosecutor’s office to determine whether Harless’ actions warranted criminal charges. John Simpson, chief prosecutor for the city of Massillon, said that he reviewed state law for menacing, aggravated menacing and assault, but there was insufficient evidence to support any charges. “I’m not condoning anything the officer did, because (it’s) totally inappropriate,” he said.

You don't just automatically fire if someone has a HOLSTERED gun. Hell you shouldn't even pull your weapon in most cases. |

This should be the norm for hot shots who think they are above the law. |

This is why we need to change those laws a few states have making it illegal to film police.
A few serious ******* make it through the pre-hire screening. We need internal affairs to investigate them and fire them, and IA needs evidence. |
