No words.
No, I literally have no words.
Fuck this guy. And he's a fucking cop, no less. I mean, of course he is.
Jesus.
All because he couldn't stand losing to a different team of 9 year olds.
Naturally he's been fired from being a coach to a Youth league, but abusing 9 year olds on video out of spite will no doubt never be enough to get him even suspended from his job. Can almost see all his buddies high-fiving him at the station as I type this.
Kenneth Wendt.
EDIT - UPDATE:
"Prospect Baseball coach Victor Torres told the Chronicle that his team and his player's parents were not aware of the incident until they saw the Scorpions' second game on Saturday, which Wendt was allegedly thrown out of.
"After they played us, they were scheduled to play another game," Torres said. "When they were playing that game, [Wendt] was harassing one of the kids that was playing first base. He even told him that he was going to meet him in the parking lot."
Torres said that after one of the opposing players complained about Wendt in the dugout, the parent that took the original video of Wendt's aggressive behavior started to raise concerns. Torres then discovered Wendt was law enforcement.
Upon getting thrown out of the game, Wendt repeatedly said he was "a cop," according to Torres."

Fuck the police

This piece of shit needs his knee caps smashed in. Put him in a wheel chair. Fuck you asshole cop.

What a pathetic, puny man.

I really, really don’t like cops.
IronCore
Guaranteed this piece of shit abuses people close to him.
PerpetuityPhoto
Big surprise, the flag, the shitty treatment of kids, he's DAMN sure a cop. And probably also an insurrection supporter.
marklehtonen
Judging by his shirt... more than likely.

Love to violate US Code 4 by altering the flag for my own personal political purposes, very patriotic

This... this is a good comment. Gonna need some upvotes for this, folks.
StarscreamAndHutch
Of course he’s wearing a tattered American flag teeshirt. Im suspect of anyone that wears the flag anymore.
SuperfluousMeh
It's terrible, my first instinct now is to be repulsed at the sight of my own country's flag unless it's properly flying on a flagpole.
SuperfluousMeh
And even that's still kind've iffy.
Akurei00
I've been that way since Bush. It became a redneck, right-wing, xenophobic symbol. Almost anyone sporting it "proudly" was insufferable.
rakas90
Shit like this should get you fired from being a cop. He is literally willing to hurt children. That says a fuckin lot about his ethics.
nuclearmomm
None of the uvalde cops got fired and 19 children died. Another bad man I bet he beats his wife too
SomeDetroitGuy
It should get him charged with assault.
NunyaBNess1
Groovechild
Looks like he's wrenching their arms, not bumping into them as the article says. I say bring him up on child abuse charges.
Tumescentpie
"(Scream in pain) That coach pulled me back" in the audio in case you can't unmute.
Tumescentpie
As a cop he should be held to a higher standard. This is a person who swore to be a protector and good person. He is an oath breaker
SomeDetroitGuy
For it to be child abuse in Texas, it apparently requires "bodily injury" which appears to mean it needs a physical sign (scrape, cut,
SomeDetroitGuy
bruise). Without that, it appears to just be simple assault. I'm not a lawyer, though. I'm just good at googling shit.
freckledkink
The mayor of my town knocked down and kicked a kid for riding an electric bike at the park. Of course the kids wasn't white. And the mayor
freckledkink
Is a fat, white, piece of shit. The parents pressed charges. I haven't heard anything else about it.
marklehtonen
Agreed, definitely wrenching their arms.
akambe
He was literally trying to end their baseball careers with that twisting. What an asshat.
marklehtonen
I wonder if the vid was from game 1 of 2. Maybe he was trying to injure them so they'd lose their next game? Sick fuck either way.
suffyr
How many murders does he have under his belt
SomeDetroitGuy
Has he been arrested for assault yet? Has he been fired?
marklehtonen
His detachment is "looking into the incident", or some such nonsense bullshit.

Hey, what is up with cops in Texas? They seem to suck more than cops elsewhere, which is a challenge
nat300Lord
We have our special states, those are Texas, Florida...occasionally Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi. But those, we don't talk about.
Mentok
They suck the same nationwide, don't you worry.
Briarcastle
I would love it if this was a Texas problem but it isn't. This is an American problem.
StarscreamAndHutch
Feel bad for his wife and kid. What a loser.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
He most definitely takes out his anger on them.
Kevinbfree
Fuck you cop.

Suspended with pay
CaptainYesterday
Are you saying he has been? I'm betting it's gets a "cannot comment on specific personnel matters." To sweep it under the rug.
Briarcastle
"We're investigating." ACAB. All of sane society should treat Cops like Cops treat the rest of society.
Akurei00
Things have to change real fucking quick or there's going to be severe backlash. Frightening times ahead.

Jesus H. Christ. The more I see, the more ACAB rings true.
iScreenshotProfiles
Careful of confirmation bias but yeah FTP until proven otherwise.
kittykaroshi
It always has been true. We just have proof that is more than victims words now.
SuperfluousMeh
Tragic as that is, I am happy the more proof we get. A crime has to happen in order to get that proof, but I'm happy that we have more 1
SuperfluousMeh
than victim testimony now. Because more and more it reveals that cops are lying and they do not deserve the respect that they've been given.
SuperfluousMeh
And so it's harder and harder to look away from them and their crimes. Their crimes only seem to escalate as they push any good people out.
whydontiusethesynthesizer246014204711
There ARE good stories, too. Often untold. Don‘t get caught in black and white but pls rebel against every black sheep cop found.
whydontiusethesynthesizer246014204711
I don’t like ACAB cause what’s the point in trying if they are ALL cunts anyway?! Imagine being a good cop reading this everywhere.
QuartzPoker
I take a different tack. I think there are good cops. You can usually find them in the unemployment line or the morgue for exposing the bad.
elahti
It's not "bad apples," it's the whole fucking orchard
AsAHistorian
People who use the "one bad apple" expression always leave off the "spoils the barrel" part of it.
Salpinus
Then again you hardly ever see good stuff here, because doing their job isn't something newsworthy. The few times we do we still get the old
koflan
If there was 1 bad cop and 9 good cops, and the bad one murdered your son in cold blood, and the 9 good ones had his back, how good are they
Salpinus
Then they are of course not good. And you're missing the entire point.
Salpinus
ACAB comments. American police have huge issues though, and I doubt I'll (luckily) ever set foot there.
Pleeby
The job attracts angry, power hungry assholes, and there is a culture that reinforces that once they’re in. The good ones are forced out.
SpartaWolf117
my first thought was 'of course he's a cop'

And that says it all. Fucking sociopath

Trust me when I tell you Precinct 5 in Houston is fuckin dog shit. This dude isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

Dude smiles like the grinch too
grandestgrandeur
Exactly. My second thought was "bet he claims it was "tough love" or that the kids were "snowflake/sissies" or some bs as an excuse.
StrangerNum1
Before he is a cop he is a person that, just realized will not win at everything,but he can inflict the pain onto other that he doesn't feel
torp
Me too
KaiSilent
And this is why we shouldn't video any cops, clearly! /S
spgcorno
And of course Texas.
NotSomoneElse68
Also, this incident gets him kicked off of something as inconsequential as a junior league, but ¹
NotSomoneElse68
beating or killing someone won't get him kicked off the force.

You mean as in “today”?

I'm honestly surprised nowadays when something really despicable happens and it wasn't a cop.

BokchoyIsAWhiteVegetable
If he's like this for a softball game, I can't fathom how he is on the streets as a cop. Also how is this not assault? Seen charges for less
MyKinkIsKinkshaming
Or at home
kab27
*a kids softball game
SomeDetroitGuy
Under Texas law, this absolutely appears to be assault which includes "intentionally or knowingly causes physical contact with another when
SomeDetroitGuy
the person knows or should reasonably believe that the other will regard the contact as offensive or provocative."
Qualtagh
The guy is a piece of shit, but it's fascinating to try to interpret the exact wording of the law in this case, since a high-five is 1/3
Qualtagh
"caused", normally, by both participants. Can he claim, if a kid's hand moved the last inch to the high-five, that the kid "caused" 2/3
Qualtagh
the contact, and the law can't fault the adult? (precedent probs overrules this wordplay, but it's still interesting) 3/3
LaffertyDanie1
The answer is in your question, he's a cop.
PrisonDonkey
I'm sure he's arrested people for a lot less, too.
HerrHat
Some people are like this in anything they regard a competition. They'll cheat and bend the rules and when they lose, they blame others.
SerenePrincess013
Bc who is going to arrest him? His fellow oinkers? The other skinheads he hangs out with the rest of the year?
hepcat10
Rudy Giuliani had a guy arrested for less
RunningInSpaces
The fact he can "get someone arrested" is a problem in and of itself

white cop, brown kids...

And, of course this super white, ultra-cop is picking on 9-year old kids with names like Lopez, Velasquez, etc, who beat his team at a game.

Work in some form with that department, so pretty surprised to see him in the news
RandAIFlagg
Shit at first I had the names fucked up in my head and was dismissing that aspect thinking the cop's name was Torres but nope, fuckin eh
PrincessBride1
[email protected] is the address to email this to Harris County IAD. The Harris County District Attorney is another good one to email.
FlakyPastryCrust
If he does this in public to kids as a civilian, think of what he does under "the great blue shield". FUCK this guy with a dildo Paige uses.
Tumescentpie
He's the type of cop that will turn off his camera in order to rough you up
UmamiMama
What a fucking asshole. I hope he always has a small, annoying speck blocking just a part of his eye for the rest of his life, and herpes.
Tr1gg3rH4ppy
I hope he gets hit by a train ?♂️

I salute your high road attitude. Myself, I'm hoping he gets curb stomped after his Klan buddies fail to provide backup on a bust

They're called "floaters" and can be corrected surgically....just fyi

Aw, i was thinking the blocking would be something akin to a splinter☹
