Reposted from @mrcheckpoint_ - I’m sick to my stomach. Why would a department keep officers like this on their force? They are a disgrace to the badge and uniform. There is no job in the world that would keep someone who is this much of a liability employed other than our own police departments. This video is of vallejo police officer David McLaughlin on Aug 11. He’s the same officer accused of assaulting a Marine vet in video I previously shared of a guy being arrested for filming a traffic stop on his porch. Here, in another incident, he can be seen while off-duty, pulling a gun on a man at a busy Walnut Creek shopping plaza. The gun is pointed at Santiago Hutchins of Concord moments after Hutchins arrived at Rocco’s Ristorante Pizzeria to celebrate his 14-year-old son’s birthday. Hutchins’ pregnant wife was inside the restaurant with the rest of his family. Several witnesses said they did not know McLaughlin was a police officer. Others wondered why his gun was drawn. McLaughlin has been on the @vallejopd force since 2014 and in that time, he’s been involved in 2 shootings, one of which was fatal. This officer is still on patrol, according to police... this is why we ALWAYS FILM THE POLICE #AFTP #mrcheckpointcommunity #DavidMcLaughlin #officerDavidMcLaughlin #officermclaughlin - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZxt4jH7xl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nx0e67erqrfe
