Sounds as if the testimony from Harless needs to be withheld until a mental evaluation can be completed. If competent, re-enter the testimony. If not, stricken it from the record. Regardless, Harless needs to be teminated. The union will probably try and protect his job, no matter how incompetent he may be. That's where I lose respect for unions nowadays. Too many anger issues to be a cop. Too confrontational with the people he is suppose to serve. Too bad, I think, in general, cops are ok. Always some ass---- in every line of work to deal with. I'm the poster boy in research in that category.

Canton Ohio: 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.”


He'll appeal. The good citizens of Canton could be yet again privileged to have this future lawsuit, This out of control LEO back on their streets.

Thought police officers and public servants under stress are required to have a mental evaluation periodically. Harless admitted he had mental issues that should have removed him from the street. Wonder how the man can return to his job when he is no longer qualified.

The arbitrator/union/"keeping a job no matter how serious the infraction" really should turn people away from union support. I have no respect for the unionized shops anymore. Did at one time.....before I understood how out of control they have been allowed to become. Too bad SB5 didn't pass. Would have put out some of the fire in their britches.

Surprised none of the cops that read this board aren't responding with "you're just mad because a cop slept with your wife". Seems to be the go to response whenever the citizens are upset with the FOP/Union and police officers
