- A troubled Detroit Police sergeant who has been the subject of at least 85 civilian complaints since 2009 has been sued at least 8 times throughout his career, a 7 Action News investigation reveals. The settlements alone have cost Detroit taxpayers $830,000.
The day these amounts are taken from the police department's budget, you can be sure this tendency would stop. And officers should be fired, on second settlement.
Better yet take this type of settlement out of their pension and even families healthcare.
Is that why people talk about defund the police
You said a lot then BUT that would be too much like right.
Agreed !
@@ChicanoOne760 Defunding does not mean taking money from police. It means making this career criminal pay instead of tax payer. And his bosses who look the other way.

@@rayhume1971 "you can take this settlement or you can face an all-white grand jury, judge, and some more white people in court."
Why would any entity keep somebody who has already cost them so much money because their bad behavior in their employment ?
@@JAYJAYJAY53 it's the "us vs. them" attitude of all police departments. He was their hero...a race soldier fighting "them" so he was sheltered and rewarded.
From the "we didnt do anything wrong" fund, I'm sure....
@@DisposableEgo 😂🤣😅👍🏾
More complaints than ALMOST any other officer? How many officers have MORE than 85 complaints?
None have more he has by far more than anyone
How many have any where's near that?
@Jason Mahaffey pretty well known Asians are racist & hate black people.
I guess that's considered racist to say...but it's true and well known,it's just that we aren't supposed to acknowledge this. At least out loud. I guess that's why most of the 85 complaints are from black men!
Thank you Brandon.
@@MA-fg5hz Asian men are a lot of times… the women however that’s a different story lol
Not just the cop is a “bad” cop, but those who gave him a raise or dismissed cases against the dirty cop.
Right now it looks like judges are protecting those dirty bozos.
He is not a asset he's a liability..
The guy knows something or someone..
So they are paying the lawsuits more than his salary and he is still working for the city?
They did it for so long that he now will get a retirement pension too.
Gotta love union's.
@@rayhume1971 It would be fiscally responsible to get rid of him.
Yes
They aren’t; tax payers are !
So they paid out almost a million dollars but "there's no wrongdoing"? This guy(cop) is a liability and the last man looks like he has PTSD from this event. Smh
start testing cops for drugs ; cops who rage against citizens ; STEROIDS
My heart broke for him
@@lyanjye then it makes the no better than the bad cops out there. So don't be stupid.
@@lyanjye NO DON'T STOOP THEIR LEVEL USE THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON AGAINST THEM. THIS WEAPON IS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY BOMB, C4, MISSILE, RIFLE, SHOT GUN & ANY TYPE OF GUN.

So where was this gun Kue said was raised? And if someone is pointing a gun how did the victim get shot in his azz? Detroit is corrupt, any Officer involved needs to be behind bars..
Detroit, Phoenix, most of Florida, Chicago, Arkansas, Alabama, Las Vegas, Ft. Worth......
No gun. That's why cops were in his hospital room trying to verbally for force him to admit it.
Well, to be fair if someone is running and shoots backwards as they are running their ass is right there.
I've seen videos of people shooting backwards while running. It happens.
@@elavke5441 You can't verbally make a gun appear. Can you?
@@docducttape9270 not sure why you asked this question
As long as he’s doing it to black people he will always have a job.
f,a,c,t,s
Unfortunately. Your correct.
I believe they have a term for minorities and other poverty stricken people. NHI = no humans involved.
Exactly! This cop knows what he's doing.
@TruthMaster2020 no unfortunately I have some first hand experience.
As soon as he is not a cop people should show up at his home
They need to show up now!
Amen
Bet 😡
It's unbelievable in due time people will begin to investigate were popo 🤡🎈 sleeps enough is enough
This Chinese man is a coward without a gun.
My question is why is he still on the force
Sounds like the city is corrupted. When you see officers like this still present on the force with little to no reprimanding, someone is protecting him and he is probably looking out for other corrupted city officials. It's not just the police force. Corrupted police force represents the politicians of that city.
Because unions make it impossible to oust bad cops, teachers, government workers, etc!
BECAUSE THEY ARE PROTECTING THIS DIRTY COP. HE NEEDS TO BE IN PRISON. HE HASN'T CAME ACROSS THE RIGHT PERSON YET.
It's the powerful union that's tightly bound to back an officer at all costs.
Poor guy, he wakes up in the hospital with people trying to get him to lie on himself...PTSD...I hope he doesn't settle these settlements are pitiful for what people are enduring...
YESSS, THEY WERE TRYING TO CENTRAL PARK 5 HIM INTO A FALSE CONFESSION! I WISH HE WOULD'VE HAD THAT SHIT RECORDED!
The DPD was not "taken by surprise"...they knew his value completely
Facts
Exactly! The other people commenting is one of the problems because the state and government is sanctioning this kind of behavior from law enforcement.
One other thing stop talking about the black and brown coalition please
Gotta love the police unions. Even if he's caught with a bloddy knife kneeling over a body he's not guilty
Who you telling?
Not if they have access to free money to pay off victims.
Right everybody else, guilty until proven innocent
well. the dead person was obviously resisting, that's why they were forced to stab them 2390482084723847234 times in the back
@@AnarchistPoop yea nevermind the fact that the dead person had a crumb of marijuana in his possession and he got suspended when he was in the 3rd grade.
This is what we call trauma-based mind control. The whole system is on to this. They are supporting it
Yep
What can be done , there needs to be protests in every town and city because your taxes are paying their wages, its endemic usa is not great by a long chalk
The police force is a legal gang and it sickens me when people defend them through thick and thin
Not all cops are despicable like this. I will never say all cops are like this when I have personally seen otherwise.
@@queline213 While I agree that all cops are not, the fact that a good percentage should not be in control of the public is the problem.
Black Folk, stop letting these "F'ed" up monsters brutalize you! Get a rifle, and sniper that got damn disease! Kill that bastard! You'll be doing the world a favor!
@@thepantscommandme The Politicians in the these cities and city officials are responsible for the development of policeman like this. Their policies and laws are corrupted. Things will get worse just because morality is down everywhere. When it comes to cops, not enough of the corrupted ones get harsh consequences. City officials should create more laws to deal with policeman like this. It's a disservice to the people when these policemen abuse their authority. This is not rocket science. This would be an easy fix for them. They just choose not to do anything. So corrupted cops are a reflection of their city officials. Just the same as saying most bad kids are a reflection of poor parenting.
@@lyanjye I'm going to let God deal with them. I won't allow this to make me immoral as they are.
Defund the department, and stop costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fire Kue with extreme prejudice, and ban him from police work for life.
Defund the department isn't the answer,hiring descent officer's who are better trained is.
@@tonylake9602 training has its limits. No amount of training will teach someone not to be corrupt, racist or a sociopath. And if someone needs "training" to teach you not to be racist then I don't think there's any hope they'll be a good cop, let alone a good person.
Training can't do magic. Especially if they refuse to follow that training. Look at the Uvalde police. Over funded, over armed, over geared and fully trained. Yet they still fucked up.
Training isn't the answer. Having actual repercussions for bad behavior is. Get rid of qualified immunity and fire bad cops that cost taxpayers millions.
Why this guy is still allowed to be on the job is beyond me.
Because unions protects their own in every field
He got promoted after everything
He probably good at his job but he might be racist too is America
That was my question, Juwan. The reason they keep cops on the force is because they've aligned themselves with their racist so called "values"...they're hired! I guarantee you if this cop was Black, he would've been fired! He's a DISGUSTING POS!
@@ayannaandkizzyvgo6610 theres no way someone can be good at their job when their job is serving and protecting citizens which he also has racial prejudice against.
To see that Grown Black Man Cry is Heart Breaking
It is. Made me cry knowing what he went through and what so many others go through
😂😂😂
@@mchammer9184 what's funny
@@serigabe6452 Figure it out
@@mchammer9184 YOU
And some police departments wonder why the public hate them? Kue should be in jail.
Truer words never spoken.
How do you know he should be in jail? We’re you there? What academy did you go to? What police department did you work for? Exactly..Detroit isn’t a nice place to be .. and I’m pretty sure the people who made complaints weren’t angels. Of course there are going to be complaints when the officers are doing their jobs .The city shouldn’t settle.. Do you know why they settle? Because these criminals get top-notch attorneys to sue the city, and the city has prosecutors who are nowhere’s near as talented as these high price attorneys. So they settle out because it’s cheaper does it mean the cop is wrong
@@pozmarciv you really think these people have the funds to hire high priced attorneys? I really doubt it. These people aren’t angels but neither are the cops. Cops abuse their authority all the time, they earn the reputation they have!
@@diegaspumper8501
No they don’t have the funds but an attorney who sees dollar signs will gladly jump on the opportunity.. Also there are very few Police Officers that abuse their authority.. The media just polarizes events
@@pozmarciv yeah there’s very few that don’t abuse their authority. I have cops in my family and I see firsthand the shit they do and it’s wrong. They get away with whatever they want to. I don’t trust any of them anymore under any circumstances.
Shockingly no body cams are worn. Everyone should break out their cell phones when these officers (gang members) show up
Almost a million dollars. Guess Detroit likes giving out money like that for one man.
That's money that could have been used on the community.
I want to know what did this man do to have so much protection in 3 year
If this is not a perfect example that cops need to carry their own malpractice insurance, then I don't know what would be.
Yes once insurance companies dropped them they loose their jobs. Like Dr.s with malpractice insurance
More proof that BP HAVE NO FRIENDS....
Imagine if you had caused your job over a million dollars in settlements and legal fees
It's amazing how the cities would rather keep paying out these settlements rather than fire these thugs in uniform.
back in the day this guy would have gotten a raise n promotion for going after blk ppl. the force love guys like him
He did get a promotion three months after getting caught lying by forensics on shooting a dog
He's an leveled up, same tactics today I guess !?
FYI, in a settlement, no party admits ANY wrongdoing. It’s a term of every legal settlement. They’re making a big deal of that term but it’s boilerplate language. Of course the city is admitting wrongdoing-they’re settling🙄 Legally they admit the suit has merit and the city’s risk of losing at trial is significant. So they settle. In other words, the cop is dirty and they keep paying out because of him. And that’s because they can’t seem to fight the union whose sole purpose is to protect people like this psychopath with a badge. A good union picks and chooses its battles. You don’t die in every hill and you sure as shit don’t do it for a sleaze bag dirty cop like this, not if you want to maintain even a shred of legitimacy. But I’m yet to work with a good police union, not in my 23 years practicing law anyway.
But is THAT the problem? Unions? I read unions were started in the 70’s when cops were truly being mistreated. And stiffed out of pensions. Have unions outlived their goal back then? The Chicago Union just elected it’s president, some guy in the top 3% of brutality & complaints. Is there a connection? The more the brutality the more benefits for police Union members? Holy (union benefits) Sheet!
Cop unions are the most dangerous gangsters in the country.
@@rayhume1971 awesome point, but to settle is not admitting guilt (at least for the injured party), but maybe the injured party is being intimidated to sign. Sounds like the department is foul from the top to the bottom?
@@rayhume1971 85 complaints, yet he was promoted... When was justice served?🤔
Indeed boilerplate language
Can we change laws and have money come from pensions, paychecks, etc? I bet only then will thede officers act like they have better sense
That a GREAT! Idea 💡🤔
Exactly
This is a no brainer, I believe this wicked cop has something bad on all his superiors, this is why they won't charge him, BUT ITS GOING TO TAKE GOD ALMIGHTY TO GET HIM, HIS DAYS ARE NOW NUMBERED DOWN IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST
He's oriental. He's probably threatening to sue for racial discrimination. No ghost in the machine required.
@@katferguson yep.
He's probably N. Korean by the way he acts. He's a little dictaster I mean dictator.
@@travisjohns744
his name sounds Vietnamese
A few bad cops make the whole police force look bad🤬🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
As long as people settle out of court they will never “admit” wrong doing. 🙄
Doesn't matter. Nothing still happens to these thugs. Look up Sgt. David Grieco of the NYPD. He's cost New Yorkers over a million dollars with lawsuits.
Imagine what good that money could've done for citizens. Instead cops are flushing taxpayer money lawsuit after lawsuit.
Everyone needs to call their state politicians and demand an end to qualified immunity.
10 X the next most complaints by any officer on the force. 85 in 12 years. Virtually every one making the same accusations. Video. He still gets promoted to Sgt, and even after nearly $1 million in payouts they still say "Alleged".
After two complaints at Burger King I'm assuming one of the employees is going to get fired. This guy almost has a hundred complaints and cost the city almost a million dollars and he's still on the force
To make a grown ass black man cry...means he's hurting beyond belief..
That guy broke down and it made me feel bad for him he actually starting crying reliving that night
He’s Chinese, so calling him out could get you a hate crime charge
That is so idiotic.
@@gerardorodas1854 No it's not. He's right.
You are right.
Yet we have yet to get reparations.
Really, how? Do tell how he is being discriminated against, go ahead, I will wait. Let's see --- he several of the cases against him that were dismissed, he was promoted, he still has a job despite the almost million dollar price tag associated with his tactics. Yeah sounds like the Asian community will shout from the roof tops on his behalf.
WXYZ is hiding James Craig’s involvement in coverup. Kue was recommended to be fired, Craig cleared Kue record.
He is running for governor you know what to do voting time .
This needs more attention
I read this too.
Not much has changed in the Detroit police department in the past 40 years has it, still has corrupt and inefficient as ever.
A glorious revolutionary city of The Party
This maybe 1 of the reason Detroit is broke
Taxpayers already pay his salary, and taxpayers pay the bill when he gets the city sued.
It's called COMMUNISM
We need bounty hunters under " We the people ". This shit would stop then.
"We the people" wouldn't change much. They'd be just as corrupt as those before them. Tyranny is sick.
If this police officer acts this way on the job, makes me wonder how he acts at home...
How is he still a Sgt. With all those complaints?
Is it me or is "troubled" a really weird adjective to use?
He should not be a police...gangster with a badge. What is his background? What is he playing out from his background?
Curious too! What is this guy's background?
this officer need 10 years
Not enough for half the crime and torture
Those type of evil should not be in the police force.
sad to see this still happens.
This happened under James Craig's watch he allowed this to happen freely, I wonder what else he let happen.
" he a gangsta wit a badge" mm yes aren't they all.....
The real Problem is that the City and the Police Dept.don’t see
anything wrong with the Officer or any wrongdoing !!! Just Crazy
A pay out for settlement IS admission of wrong doing lol
The last guy with no gun, just breaks my heart. :-(
he's not troubled he's awful
Who’s member is he pleasuring to be able to get away with everything he’s done and the money he’s cost the taxpayers!
But what benefit does Kue give to law and order in that city? Does crime go down? What behavior does “tend” to reduce crime? I know this is weird thinking but I spent a year in the 25th Infantry in Vietnam. Lots of offensive operations. But little thought to defense. No protecting people being terrorized . Just a lot of chasing forces great at dodging and weaving. Kue is great at terrorizing. But would somebody be better at reducing crime? Also, what would $850,000.00 buy? 3 more cops? Would 3 more cops be more effective than Kue at “law enforcement”. Look, I know this is “non expert” rambling but can’t we get more effective people for these jobs?
There is nothing that tugs at my heart more that seeing a strong man cry. For that man, despite trying his hardest not to, to break down in tears shows how what happened to him deeply effected him. This disgusting cop is ruining people’s lives with impunity.
And the police wonder why we don't trust them.
I feel Mr Gaddis' pain. It's so overwhelming when you have such a powerful system against you.
He has something on someone. It’s called keeping your enemy closer. Smh
These city people who see no wrongdoing should be charged with Aiding & Abetting.
Stop Asian Hate!LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s not “troubled”. He is a criminal
Damn those lawsuits are home mortgages.
Line up,line up come and get it.
Good on them.
2 or 3 homes in Detroit.
@@spaceracer23 maybe 4
It's funny how citizens past can be used against them, but cops pass gets swept under the carpet.
Psalms 60 V 8 KJV “Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.”
Keep on letting him get away with these horrific crimes, and what’s next murder !?
Why is people wearing face diapers is this old news or new news
It's amazing how the police department will stand there and say that even though the courts found the police officer guilty their own judicial system finds them guilty they will still deny anyone doing?
Sad 😢. My heart goes out to this brother..
He needs to reach 100 complaints to be promoted to detective!
They admitted wrongdoing when they paid out almost a million dollars in settlements.
The chief needs fired too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the Mayor.
This cop should be lock up in his own jail and held accountable. No more free rides or get out of jail free card .No more Qualified immunity bring No Honor from government and LE.
That sweet young man at the end... I wish I could give him a hug. That breaks my heart.
Do you know what a city could do with $830,000.00? They could install playgrounds, increase technology in schools, install eye in the sky cameras in certain areas. Increase teacher pay.
How does a city say there was no wrong doing and still pay out almost $1m? I though plea deals meant you know you did wrong and settling it.
Until they start docking their pensions with these lawsuits, these dirty cops will continue.
Wow this the man who tossed lice on me yesterday
I mean who is pushing the paperwork? Like everything that comes across their desk concerning this officer, doesn't ring red flag? The first thought is "oh well, let tax payers deal with it and we'll keep him on the force because he didn't do anything" smh.
It seems in all these instances the victims are very peaceful law abiding citizens...this cop is and probably always has been a violent bully !!
If a brother kicks his ass, will he be charged with an Asian hate crime? 🤔
All of his superiors need to be jailed
Who wouldn’t be willing to fork over $830k to multiple people that your employee did nothing wrong towards…you would do that without a second thought, right?!
What a joke…they knew this guy was an out of control cop. Police unions are the real problem here.
It's amazing what a white man can do with impunity. How is this possible?
Your taxes pay this criminal and the settlements. City doesn't care, it's not their money. You have to police the department before you can police the citizens.
TAKE IT OUT OF HIS PENSION.
85 COMPLAINTS ????!!!!!8 LAWSUITS. WHY WAS THIS COP STILL ON THE JOB. HOW ABOUT THIS FIRE HIM!!! BRADY LIST, WORLD WIDE WEB AND INTERNET
The city is stupid. People should be protesting so taxpayers can stop paying for these COWARDS. DNT CRY BROTHA IM PRAYING FOR U🙏🙏🙏
He has more complaints than ALMOST any other officer on the force??? Maybe they should call the worst 3 into the office for some discipline or something?
Officer's said that they saw the man with a fire arm . Well where is it that gun is the question, they were close enough to shoot him and apprehend him. So WHERE is they gun ?Are the city officials that ignorant to this fact?
What gives? Why does he keep getting by?
Wow.... Imagine how many of him in the states. This is why tax payers shouldn't be responsible. Take it from his paycheck and his pension.
"We don't do anything wrong." "We just like to hand out hard working tax payer's money."
Obviously they thought he was doing a Great Job. 85 complaints and 830k and it comes as a "Surprise"😂🤣🤣😭
The city says he's done nothing wrong but they've paid out almost a million dollars.
Why are the citizens of this town not getting rid of the Chief and all his minions. Guess they are happy with higher taxes. Crack on and let the money role.
Sued 8 times and 85 complaints, not even demoted, the mafia would fire someone that bad.
Instead of dismissing him, they promoted him. Goodness gracious
He should be fired. He's a liability
This cop must have naked pictures of somebody. He is well protected.
Who paid?that guy needs to go.
Protect and serve
Not abuse
No matter what job some people abuse power.
Who is paid taxpayers.which is should be coming out of him
