- Taylor Alexander says he, his little brother, and his mom tried walking away from the situation when they were stopped by the officer, and things escalated.

If the person punching six people was not a cop, he’d already be in jail.
Jailed, fired from his job, evicted from his apartment, etc.
Yes, somehow consequences always have to wait when it's police officers - then they investigate themselves, and conclude they did nothing wrong.
Police are heroes, don't forget it. You are living thanks to the Police.
The only job in the world where you can behave that way and not lose your job
@@ElaineHardy-ou6irI just hope that those people that witnessed everything are aware that cops don't like witnesses and videos of them committing crimes.
They just brutalized a woman named Carolina for videotaping them towing cars illegally.
The police arrested everyone but him, I'm so shocked. 😂
He punched children in the face! He should be in prison
wayyyy past prison…. no?
@@scottolsen5449Yes! Definitely!!!
Putting cops in protective-custody is very costly to tax-payers. A beer at a bar is much cheaper. Shame if the notorious Los Zetas were to hear he's working for Gulf…
Police have gotten out of control. They should fear the public. We’re tired of the corruption and immunity
@@igotfriendsinlowplaces2971American families need armed security nowadays against the blue line gangs.
The fact that the cop, is not sitting in jail right now. Is yet another example of the two tier justice system.
Union. Union protects them.
Yep, it's We the People, against "most" cops, politicians, FAKE "Corporate" "Maritime" governments, which means local, state and FEDERAL levels...read and learn folks. We were sold BACK to ENGLAND, by Pres. Grant with the ORGANIC ACT of 1871, which was ratified by the corrupt politicians to get money, to bail America out of being BROKE, from the war. WAKEY, WAKEY.
RIGHT! This is a white family, unprecedented coverage and lack of action for such an American staple looking family. Times are changing. Welcome to Gen pop
Police asking themselves, "Why don't people like us?" Did you see all those other police protecting their deranged criminal brother attacking kids?
one cop a crowd of at least 5. now the video shows him being cuffed by more than one cop, and in her face. she was interfering in a arrest.
Many of us always black the blue
The system is corrupt. The last time I checked, the regular citizen would have been charged by now
Isn't that "odd"...?
Yes. We're peasants
You kiddin me? We got the best judicial system,money can buy.. hehe
well, people are a little extra weak in Texas.. Look at what they let their state do and who they vote for.
Civilians would've been arrested and charged and prosecuted and convicted and imprisoned by now for NOT committing a crime, for being INNOCENT, even despite having EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE. (I'm not being facetious, we've literally seen it happen multiple times. 😒)
He needs to be charged for assault!!!
Either the cop committed a crime, or every citizen can behave like this without fear of criminal charge.
Felony assault on a minor. As well as the other assaults. The other on duty cops should also be accessories because they didn't arrest Rivas.
BLUE LINE GANG STRIKES AGAIN
one cop a crowd of at least 5. now the video shows him being cuffed by more than one cop, and in her face. she was interfering in a arrest.
@@diegojines-us9pc Sure, she was. TFOH. At a minimum, the bitch-ass cop is facing charges of assault and battery, along with false arrest.
PAID suspension for assaulting multiple minors? He should be fired and in jail awaiting felony trial. The uniformed cop that held the kid down during the attack should be in the same cell.
Blue Line
one cop a crowd of at least 5. now the video shows him being cuffed by more than one cop, and in her face. she was interfering in a arrest.
so how being cuffed assault?
NO, because they will COLLUDE to lie in court. No consequences for cops, when they lie, just like the politicians of today. Lying, POS humans.
It’s paid vacation
@@Baseballisbest67 why has this story died? has the cop cams and the unedited video been gotten hold of?
Where are the good cops that we keep hearing about?
There ain't that much "good cops" if they ain't bad cops they are "neutral" and that means being complicit of bad cops
Standing around
Love how Galveston PD showed up and arrested everyone but the criminal cop assaulting random people
Thin Blue Line looks out for it's own. And in doing so, they will throw you and your children under the bus, every single time.
Responding Sgt said he wasn’t putting anyone in cuffs.
Only VICTIMS GOT CUFFS.
@@thejerk95 "Rally round the family, pocket full of shells."
And, then lied to protect this thug...Apt Manager:"He's never worked here..."
"It's to early into the investigation " it's on video!!!
100% police privilege. Anyone else would already be in jail!!!
All those coward cops letting him do this are just as guilty
I hope you fill the way about what happened to George Floyd.
@@newmexicoballer3867yes, that’s why those cops faced charges too
@@newmexicoballer3867George Floyd’s case is solved, now justice for these four kids Rivas assaulted.
@@newmexicoballer3867 Democrats have been solely responsible for defending slavery, starting the Civil War, opposing reconstruction, lynching blacks, founding the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws and segregation, poll taxes and literacy tests. The Party voted against the 13th amendment (end slavery), 14th amendment (black citizenship), and 15th amendment (black right to vote), filibustered the 1960 Civil Rights Act (elimination of poll taxes), and tried to filibuster the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 60 days, the longest filibuster in Senate history. uglas debates in the northern state of Illinois. It was a Democrat v. Republican battle. The infamous Dred Scott decision (blacks were property) in 1857 was a Supreme Court vote of 7 Democrat justices for, and 2 Republican justices against. By 1900, more than 20 black Republicans had served in Congress. Democrats did not elect a single black congressman until 1935. And every black senator until 1979 was a Republican. When federal troops withdrew from the South after reconstruction ended, Democrats’ white supremacy laws re-emerged with a vengeance enforced by the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party, the KKK, which was used to suppress blacks from voting Republican.
Democrats are also the party of abortion. Planned Parenthood, founded by eugenics racist Margaret Sanger was created to eliminate the “undesirables” and that continues today where there are more abortions in NYC of black babies than are born.
@@newmexicoballer3867yeah at least chauvin is paying for his.
C0ps are out of control these days.
Bunch of cowboys doing whatever they want
Either cops are held to a lower standard than the average citizen, or all citizens can behave like this without fear of arrest. *Which is it???*
It's about time for the wild wild west to make a comeback cops ain't doing their jobs
How about no standard
When they say, it’s too early to know if they’re going to charge the officer, that really means they’re stonewalling
The victims should not let this go until he is criminally charged
So he was there just to start shit
Yup!
With a radio. What a dork.
Exactly.
Another forking bully, working as a cop, overtime? Needs to be investigated.
Everyone that was hit by the officer should sue , 💰
Forcing taxpayers to pay that lawsuit makes you part of the problem.
Along with apartment complex. Need everyone’s depo
@@DistrustHumanz your mother in my bed is your problem 😎😘
@@DistrustHumanz hitting kids and thinking that’s alright makes you part of the problem and you probably hit kids too?
@@DistrustHumanz your mother is in my pants 😎😘
Everyone says "bad apple", but look at all the other cops take his side. Look at them day he did nothing wrong! THEY ARE ALL BAD!!!! "One bad apple *spoils the bunch*"!
What happens to the other "officers" that either helped him or stood by and did nothing as he rampaged?
Not a da*n thing. That's a huge problem for society.
He needs to be put in JAIL!!! He was out of control and acted like a psycho! He has NO business being in any type of job where he deals with the public, especially a police officer! Since he got "paid leave" that tells you this isn't being taken seriously and sadly all the parents of the kids attacked and assorted should sue the crap out of that officer and the office he works for. He has NO business being an officer at any level.
I don't think it's overreacting to say the maniac should have been jailed immediately following the incident...you know, kinda like we would have been.
The PD's lack of action is a precursor to what's to come, As in them doing all they can to let the man slide on this as much as possible. At the very least, as soon as one of those families file charges he should be jailed, no more excuses.
I think he could have a job dealing with the public if entails handing out ketchup packets to people with their order.
there needs to be a phycological evaluation before hiring and follow-up every year...police officers are getting out of control!
The reason he is put on paid leave is that he’s still a PD employee and MUST cooperate with the investigation! Otherwise he can plead the 5th and walk away!
Looks like 'roid rage. Once they start abusing steroids, they no longer have any control over their own reactions - to *anything*. Civilians have been murdered, at the hands of 'roid raging cops.
Anyone need clarity as to why cops are hated and distrusted??
They keep earning the hate everyday.
Too many idiot conservative still ''back the blue''
They're tired of people's BS....
@ng3347 Maybe if cops did their job, their wouldn’t be any 🤣
@@estenmaxwell2945 Hahaha....how about black people stop commenting crime....let's start there 😉
I wonder why he feel the need to wear his badge when he's OFF DUTY? The other cops who assisted him violate rights and initiate false arrests are JUST as guilty. And the cops have already begun the cover-up by stating that, "Rivas was working as an off duty courtesy officer," yet the complex made is crystal clear that he is NOT an employee of the complex. smfh
He’s not an “employee” but the complex did hire him as a subcontractor wording is very tricky.
@@TheEZOODdo you have any proof of that or are you just guessing?!
Would it be too early to bring charges if it was a regular person?
Rivas wasn't the only cop there. Remember that. Every cop there should have charges against them.
Yeah, they stood around and didn't STOP this cop? You're GUILTY TOO.
He needs to be charged. He handled that whole situation wrong.
You know nothing
@@stuwest3653 you forgot to say Jon Snow after you know nothing
He wasn't even supposed to BE THERE in that situation!
one cop a crowd of at least 5. now the video shows him being cuffed by more than one cop, and in her face. she was interfering in a arrest.
Not a single officer there said WAIT!!!! This is ridiculous and looks HORRIBLE for our department?
More to the point, not a single officer there said 'Stop! What you're doing is ILLEGAL!'
What a corrupt system. If I did it I'd be in jail the moment it happened. I love how it's so double-sided and that we're not even allowed to protect ourselves from them. What a joke!
We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing
After they have a 10 year internal investigation they will find this officer did nothing against policy. And if they are sued it doesn't matter as the tax payers will foot the bill.
Oh, it will take at least, to years, in the hopes that the injured parties will give up.
It's going to cost those taxpayers millions.

Dude should ALREADY be in jail! Nobody is above the law? Apparently not. That's some blue line BS right there. The public isn't safe with cops like that.
Nobody except Trump is above the law

@@diegojines-us9pc get off your knees
@@AshleySmyth1212 seems this story has died, has the body cams been released and the party people wants them hid, or has the non edited video been found and they dont want them shown either, now Ashley, tell your boyfriend hes been busted for lying.
If a citizen did what that officer did, there would be an investigation for sure, but the citizen would be in jail under charges while they investigated, not on a paid vacation.
now he can buy more meth to rage with.
well i saw cops cuffing that grown kid. notice how many it took? and saw mom interfering in the arrest.
@@diegojines-us9pcWhat arrest? What probable cause did the off duty officer have to make an arrest? This is multiple counts of assault.
@@imjustadog1897 see right there is where its is bias one sided. for some reason he showed up with his badge displayed and his radio on, so they was something going on thats been edited. and what arrest, which one are you talking about since they was more than one arrested, didn't know did ya. and one person assaulted him knocking to the ground , he wasn't in uniform but did dis play his badge. didn't know that did ya. and why didn't anyone state that 4 officers was there by the time the arrests was being made? why was they called? didn't know that either. i can edited star wars down to i am your father, and you wouldn't know they was 3 hours you didn't see. cant wait for the police cams to make these people look silly.
by the way have you wondered why they was leaving only after 4 cops got there and not when he asked them to leave?? or that he didn't do or say anything while 4 cops was holding his teenage brother down and cuffing him, and his mom, what had she been doing and screaming as they arrested her other son? and why did this young man charge a LEO? seems you watch and seen nothing.
@@diegojines-us9pc Again what probable cause did they have to arrest anyone? If you’re going to immediately stick up for the officers, at least know something rather than just say there had to be justification. They’re supposed to have justification, but lately they’ve been caught not having any.
So, its too early to charge him, yet its takes them 30 seconds to file charges against street thugs
Sounds like 6 counts of assault. And assault on a minors
That officer needs to be charged n removed from the force.
The census
What happens, next time? If it's an elderly man, or a pregnant woman? Civilians have been killed by out-of-control, roid-raging cops.
for cuffing that grown kid?
And NEVER a cop or security guard...anywhere.
I think we will find that Rivas told his employer that he was working as a courtesy officer in an attempt to justify his behavior when in fact he was not working and acted outside his authority, without employer permission and then used excessive force, all in an attempt to be covered by Qualified Immunity
The way apartment complex’s hire officers is by giving the 50+% off the rent. It’s true he is not and employe but more like a subcontractor
i saw many cops cuffing that young man, and mom interfering in the arrest,
@@diegojines-us9pc😂
🤡
Jack 🫏
What would've happened if this was 1870? Do we think this pathetic civilian clothed LEO would act like this?
He definitely needs to go to jail and a few of the other officers that stood by and helped should be fired and join there buddy in jail sicking abuse of power
There were two incidents involving the off-duty cop
It is not "too early"! If it were anyone else, charges would have been brought and the suspect arrested. It's called arresting the criminal.
We, at the police department investigated our officer while he was on paid vacation, and we found no wrongdoing by the officer or anything wrong with police policy. He will now be promoted and given a raise.
It seems that the criminals follow a tighter code of conduct than the police!!
Cops don’t become Psychopaths
Psychopaths become cops
Agreed
Maybe. But what about all the other cops there who just stood by and watched their fellow officer wreak havoc and assault people?
🤔
@@dornishred6033 Psychopaths as well.. duh
Exactly!
Psychopaths always support other psychopaths.
He did it off-duty which doesn't fall under qualified immunity. And he gets a paid vacation? LED needs to vet their hires better before employment.
Had this been any other person who didn’t have a badge they would be locked up with all kinds of charges BUT because he has a badge now they have to figure out, how to make it, make sense. Good luck.
Cops are held to a lower standard than the average citizen *because anyone without a badge would be facing charges for this type of behavior.*
This guy is a bully! He had no reason to go to the pool and start causing trouble. He just wanted to exert control and beat on people.
How is this not aggravated assault on a minor? Why do we have laws protecting and enabling a domestic terrorist?
You know this guy is just gonna be promoted to police chief
There’s a pretty large group of 1A auditors working in the Galveston area right now, they’ve exposed several other abusive officers working there. Couple that with them shooting up the “wrong house” recently and I’m really starting to believe they have a major leadership problem!! Sadly this behavior isn’t new, Phillip Turner (Turner v Driver auditor) had a false arrest there almost a decade ago, then there’s the Galveston cop who ran down the guy on the beach hitting him with his truck almost killing him. Long history of abusive behavior by this department!!
That cop went punisher mode on everyone he saw.
"Judge Dredd" Rated PG 13
😂😂😂
Showing everyone just how happy he is at home. 🤦🏾♀️😅 “a kids pool party? 4 teens including a girl?”
The irony. That's who the Punisher punishes.
To say he went "punisher mode" is a disrespect to The Punisher. Lol. But I understand what you're saying and I agree to an extent.
That guy is a criminal.
Sinner 😢
No, sorry we misspoke. He wasn’t an Off Duty Courtesy Officer, he was a Semi-Deputized Assistant Patrolman. No! No! He was a Quasi-Official Peace Implementer. We mean he was a…
He's a 'roid-raging thug with a badge.
👍
no the young man mis spoke. they was means the cops, cuffing him, not pinning him, and got in my moms face, you mean to say they told her not to interfere in the arrest.
@@diegojines-us9pc You mean she was asking what her son was assaulted for when she'd been with him the whole time.
Remember, there has to be a crime for an arrest, other than 'resisting a beating'.
You retain the right to defend yourself and your loved ones at all times - should you choose to use it.
@@Alarik52 how many videos have you seen when the one being arrested had to ask the cop what for???????? thats kills your whole comment.
Damn corruption always starts at the top, whole department needs a federal investigation.
Im not sure of all the details, but ive seen footage of him hitting the black teen while face down and hands behind his back. Youve got 20 officers standing around helping hold people down and handcuffing them while two mothers record. If it turns out that its just an unhinged cop, flaunting his badge and on a power trip, not only do you have 5 to 6 flase arrests, cruel and unusual punishment and excessive force and rights violations, it took an entire force to do it while potentially a real crime is being commited. And to put the cherry on top, you paid for it.
And you'll pay for it again when all the lawsuits get settled
@@chrisbammer4946this is the same dept, that only last yr, raided the wrong home for warrant for the wrong guy. The ignorance and stupidity goes from top to bottom. The footage of him hitting the black teen while another officer holds him down would be enough for charges by definition of law
@@CristopherSmith-zr7uh I'm not arguing with you, I'm pretty sure we're in agreement here
@@chrisbammer4946yeah, you just confused yourself. Take a deep breath, and calmly set the phone down for a min.
This is some very hard spoken facts right here ladies and gentlemen. Salute for a well said comment.
Of course charges should be filed!
Every cop there that didn't arrest him is a bad cop. The people need to realize this.
It was a bunch if people getting beat tf up by that off duty cop 😂
And he don’t even work there he just doing these beat downs on his free time. 😂😂😂
@@perrymason4208 Uh-Hyuck! Funny stuff! Derr-dee-derr-dee-durrrr... You definitely laugh at your own farts.
@@MonkHowardcalm down officer. Looks like your boy has a fighting chance in prison
End qualified immunity
This is exactly why men become cops. Ego and power over others! I hope he is fired and banned from working for any other security/police department!!!
He’ll just go to another department
They got that "bad apple" out of a spoiled barrel.
Stop thinking that all cops are not judt the same.
Notice all the "good apples" that just blindly helped him?
They didn’t do shit.
I was thinking the same thing the thin blue line gang at it again with no one to stop them
Looked to me like it already spoiled the bunch.
Remember when 13 Galveston cops were "disciplined", after they attacked multiple guests during a wedding reception??
@@HWG-wm8ldexactly they did nothing. They let their buddy beat up a child just stood there
No accountability and this is what you get.
I’m glad the Apartment Complex reiterated that they didn’t hire him. Because, Police Department already trying to throw this situation under the bus! Check him for drugs too, he had way to much BS energy, and he wasn’t coherent to anything. Except VIOLENCE…😒😒😒😒
Rpid Rage is a real thing. It happens during widthdrawl from steriodd.
Wording is very important here. He is not an “employee”. However when apartments hire officers they give them 50% or more off the rent. I’d bet money the apartment complex has a contract with him. So it’s true he is not an employee but rather a subcontractor.
@@TheEZOODI bet there is no paper work between them. Maybe the department. But dude was off duty.
You hit somebody and you’re arrested in seconds handcuff put through the system, but a cop does it and the investigation goes on for months when you can see exactly what he did in two seconds
This isn't the first time this officer has been caught on video violently attacking people. He needs charged for his crimes and de-certified as a law enforcement officer. He's very dangerous to anyone around him.
All the officers get the Uvalde award
Anything short of a prison sentence is unacceptable
Not wrong, not uncalled for... pure evil, and it needs to be dealt with as such!
So many things wrong here, to name a few:
1) clown is not in a uniform, so who are you and why are you here?
2) the 5 or 6 officers in uniform, who were presumably called there, stand around looking stupid instead of taking charge and separating the 2 groups - the clown and the other people.
3) the police dept says he was working there, the apt complex says he wasn't
4) the clown officer is obviously angry and not trying to de-escalate the situation, and as usual allowed to make it worse while all the "good cops" stand around watching this guy lose his shit on a kid and attack him. Stellar police work as usual. What a great dept to work for!
Video doesn't lie. Always record the Tyrants
This is why cops get so angry at auditors, they know the public is watching!
The Department is currently investigating themselves; anyone want to take a guess of the outcome of that investigation would be?
Paid leave, an 8 hour class on deescalation and pats on the back from the other pigs.
Qualified immunity is a free pass for poor training and a poorer selection process.
They picked this thug out from the street and gave him badge. Also, the fact that this criminal with a badge got reward with PAID LEAVE suggests that whole department is corrupted.
That apartment complex needs to get sued too. They called on that criminal thug with a badge to "do something".
Cowardly cop, apparently that state is filled with them. That apartment complex needs to be sued along with the police department. 🤥
“Bad apple” she says lol, and y’all wonder why they’re corrupt af smh
It's too early to know if any changes will be brought against this cop, really?? If that was a regular male in society, he would be in jail already. As normal for police departments, they are trying to cover up everything that this cop has done. I'm wondering when his promotion will come out?
The cop should have identified himself. The cop should not have messed with the mans mother.
The cop should have been arrested.
When someone with a class A CDL receives a ticket for any traffic violation, whether in a commercial vehicle or not, the penalty is harsher because you're expected to know better and be more responsible. The same concept should apply to law enforcement officers!
Galveston PD are a bunch of small town Mayberry cops who play tough because there is no real crime there. They have to get their excitement somehow.
Is it possible he is on steroids and snapped:
They're all on steroids.
Good job taking care of your mom. I don’t think I would have been as cool
Apartment complex doesn't want to be sued for having violent bully on their payroll
Have a judge make the cop get in a UFC fight by the victims choice of fighter then we will see how tough the COWARD is .
They all back the blue till the blue is on you! 🤣
Exactly!!!
Exactly.
exactly, my thoughts completely
It’s too early to have this figured out yet.
Translation: We’re still trying to figure out a way to make this justifiable. 😶
Edit: We tried to say that our bully was working for the complex, but we didn’t realize the management of the complex would tell the truth. So, we need more time.
This is why cops across the nation are getting targeted.
This assailant should have been arrested, not assisted with assaulting more people!
He needs to be fired and sued for beating a 15 yr old kid for no reason
The cops were completely wrong. They just detain without investigating first.
Somebody please check on this dude's wife!
She married him. No sympathy from me.
Ladies, you KNOW who these people are and what thier capable of.
He’s a disgrace to all who honorably don a uniform and badge.
"Courtesy officer"?!?!?!?! ROFL.
"We have thoroughly investigated ourselves, using Department investigators, who found that those being investigated, who also worked in the Department, did nothing wrong....and in fact, will be written up for awards of valor considering that officer safety could have, potentially, been a factor...." -Anonymous Investigator
So tell me again where were the so called good cops stopping this thug????
Oh, and the cop was arrested when he was 18 for vehicle burglary. He's a bad apple-tree.
They protect their own. Citizens be damned.
He's a police officer, he had six months of training in how to handle these things, it's his responsibility not to screw up.
His training was hand to hand combat and fire arms training.
This is what happens when you lower the bar to be a cop
File complaints against cops standing around not taking action to stop the escalation
yes file charges for them arresting his brother. is that the nothing you talking about?
Too early for charges...because he is a cop and held to a lower standard than anyone else...
This cop would have no charges filed against him. He would have been drowned in that pool. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE!!
🥳
He’s on paid vacation. One view of the video says it all.
If the kid hit the cop would there be a question of charging him? Would they say there has to be a long investigation before they charge the kid if it happened in reverse? Why the difference in the law being applied here?
His role in it? The cop was the instigator. That's his role in it. The dude is completely unhinged and went on a rampage. The only reason the courts are dragging their feet in their "investigation" is because the dude's a cop. He needs everything stripped away from him, so he is no longer a danger to innocent bystanders.
