00:05:16.320I do want to put in a word from our sponsor.
00:05:18.400Kirk said I was doing defense work now.
00:05:20.660I want to tell you, I would take this civil case.
00:05:23.120I don't know about that last civil case that we saw at the top of the hour, but I would take this one.
00:05:28.340But, Julie, you know, the guards have different means of safeties, and I've read the internal investigation, and there was kind of a combination of errors.
00:05:38.840The victim could not have been more compliant.
00:05:42.440He told him he even offered to loosen his belt because he had it in a holster inside the belt.
00:05:48.360I used to carry mine when I worked narcotics without a holster, but so the holster, according to whether it's attached to the belt or not, it, you know, it can create some resistance.
00:05:57.540The ideal thing would have been to take the whole holster and everything out, but apparently even the video showed or the internal investigation yielded that she had maybe two fingers inside the trigger guard.
00:06:11.220Oh, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.
00:06:17.760Why do we keep doing this to us ladies?
00:06:21.260I'm going to be employed forever because they keep putting us in positions that we just do not belong.
00:06:26.480Apparently, I think it looks like it's semi-automatic, but apparently there was one in the chamber, and so that's an additional safety.
00:06:35.660You always see people on TV racking them in.
00:06:38.300That's because you don't keep one under the firing pin just for safety, but apparently there was.
00:06:43.640So basically, when she's trying to tug it out, she is holding against the trigger, and I think the investigation said that she tugged two or three times and basically had fingers on the trigger, and, you know, instead of pulling up by the grip, you're pulling up by the trigger.
00:06:58.460Oh, my God, I'm not even that, like, I don't want to say I'm not that into guns, but, I mean, I've gone twice, but I'm no expert by any means, but even I could have figured out, oh, my gosh, not to, like, that's the one spot you're not supposed to grab a gun, the one, oh, my gosh.
00:07:37.220Okay, next we got, um, someone drew their on a swimmer.
00:07:42.200Ryan Gould says shortly after he called police to his complex's swimming pool in May, Palm Beach Gardens officer Bethany Guerrero hopped out of the squad car, and this happened.
00:07:53.000When you had that gun on you, what went through your mind?
00:08:24.180Three and a half months after this confrontation, Palm Beach Gardens police fired Guerrero.
00:08:30.120Her personnel record shows she's been in trouble before.
00:08:33.240I found in 2020 she was suspended when she accessed a restricted database for personal information involving a domestic-related matter.
00:08:42.000In 2019, police reprimanded her for what was called an instigative verbal exchange with a suspect before an arrest at the Palm Beach Gardens Mall.
00:08:51.840We tried to contact Bethany Guerrero through the police union, and we were told she didn't want to be interviewed.
00:08:58.400As for her personnel files, we also found on two occasions she jumped into a lake or canal wearing her police uniform and saved lives.
00:09:09.500The most recent in 2015, the headline reading, Bethany Guerrero risked her life to save a wayward swimmer caught in a pipe.
00:09:19.160But Ryan Gould says he was an innocent man who Brittany Guerrero drew a gun on and drove him to the Palm Beach County Jail.
00:09:28.560I'm next in line to, you know, go be strip searched, get whatever my uniform and be sent to jail.
00:09:35.540And then I'm told it's my lucky day. I'm free to go.
00:09:39.400Cooked. Cooked. You know, it's interesting. Whenever a woman does something wrong, there's always an excuse.
00:09:44.260There's always like, oh, but she did this. But here's the redeeming.
00:09:48.480Now, what about the last time you guys were cooked? Did you guys get a butter?
00:09:52.260Did you did you in court, family court, whatever it was at your job?
00:09:57.020Did you get the the redeeming quality?
00:10:00.140No, you got canned, you know, it's like women go into a man's world.
00:10:04.720And the the simps don't treat us like men.
00:10:08.540You got it. You got to be able to take it if you're coming.
00:10:10.620If you're coming in. Breaking news from NBC for a probationary officer with the Columbus Division of Police has been fired after police say she was involved in a fight at a short north bar.
00:10:23.020The now former officer's name is Amber Blackburn.
00:10:25.760According to her personnel file, she was with the division for nearly two years.
00:10:29.820NBC for crime and safety reporter Anna Hoffman is here with more details on this.
00:10:34.320Anna, Jared, in the termination letter from now former probationary officer, Amber Blackburn,
00:10:40.100it says she was seen in surveillance video assaulting three separate people.
00:10:44.960The records say this incident happened around 150 a.m. Sunday at the town hall bar in the short north.
00:10:53.020Blackburn was off duty at the time of the incident.
00:10:55.820But according to officers who were working special duty at the bar, they were approached by a manager and asked to remove a woman from the bar for inappropriate conduct.
00:11:05.920The officer said they walked into the bar and that's so funny.
00:11:10.380They saw their colleague, Blackburn actively fighting with another woman and learned that she was the person that manager was talking about.
00:11:18.320The special duty officers described her behavior as erratic, belligerent and highly intoxicated.
00:11:24.980The records say the officers asked Blackburn and another man to leave.
00:11:28.960They say the man left without incident, but Blackburn refused and had to be escorted out.
00:11:34.840The statements say she was throwing punches while she was being escorted out.
00:11:39.100The records say surveillance video shows Blackburn assaulting three separate people.
00:11:43.500Apparently, two of those assaults happened while she was being restrained and taken out of the bar.
00:11:49.040The request for Blackburn's termination was sent to the chief the next day after the incident.
00:12:15.880The alcoholic, but they pretend like the functioning alcoholic wine mother.
00:12:20.940Where they have like four bottles of wine a week, but they don't consider themselves an alcoholic.
00:12:26.900But their husbands are the bad guy for going to the bar.
00:12:30.140The officer no longer allowed to testify in court.
00:12:32.660Her credibility being called into question.
00:12:34.780Now, this comes after 19 Investigates exposed how she mishandled an incident where she and two other officers barged into a man's home without a warrant.
00:19:33.100Medical attention to the companion following a use-of-force event.
00:19:36.920I have zero tolerance for mistreatment of the community, have zero tolerance for lying, and integrity issues.
00:19:44.500The Fraternal Order of Police, which previously issued a unanimous vote of no confidence in Chief Crispin, is outraged by Officer Cano's termination.
