‘You’re a bad police officer’: Official confronts deputy at awards ceremony
The first time that officials in a southern Florida city publicly commended county deputies for their exemplary work turned out to be memorable — but not for the reasons leaders had intended.
“You lied on the police report,” Gelin continued, according to a video posted by the city. “I believe you are a rogue police officer. You are a bad police officer, and you don’t deserve to be here.” Gelin, who was elected as a commissioner last year, said on Saturday that the confrontation was not planned. It was the first time he had seen Gallardo since his arrest in 2015 and his decision to say something was “in the moment,” he said.
Story continuesGallardo wrote in a police report that he responded to a call of a victim who was bleeding from his ears and skull. Gelin, who was recording, approached the deputy from behind and was handcuffed when he refused to leave the area, the report said. Gelin acknowledged that he could have handled the situation better on Wednesday but said that he wanted to make it a learning opportunity.
