Document:
Last month, an off-duty Lakeland police officer, Jerry Monroe, was cut-off and flipped off while driving. So, like any normal citizen, he goes on his way, mad. Oh wait. There’s film? OK, so he didn’t go on his way, he followed the driver and beat him until he was sent to the hospital.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Officer later arrested Monroe and he was fired by Lakeland.
In March, the department had to change almost 200 traffic citations into warnings because it wasn’t clear that the road was closed. If you look at the video, it is apparent how confusing it is, and a supervisor should have picked up on this and stopped it.
