“We’re a very well-trained and well-rounded police department that has solid officers that can make good, solid decisions every day,” he said. “You can’t (take) one incident like this and make it like every (officer) is out of control.” - Bill Adams
Yeah right... Just another isolated "bad apple"... the following statement says differently:
Canton’s internal affairs unit has investigated 16 complaints involving Harless dating back to 2000.
And how about all the other LEO's that knew of his actions yet did not step forward... like his partner in the video, you could tell he was trying to disconnect from the situation by constantly moving away from the "officer" during the rant, but did he step forward to intercede in this officers attack on a citizen? or even report him in to IA for the action? doesn't appear so.
Which makes those Officers no different from the officer actually violating the citizens rights.

Yesterday, we brought you the video of an irate Canton, OH police officer threatening to kill a concealed carry gun owner. It went viral. Today, we learn that the officer involved has been placed on leave. But we’re also learning a lot more about the officer himself, including his reported history of being the focus of internal affairs investigations.
WJW-TV reports Officer Daniel Harless was placed on leave after the June 8 incident, although it doesn’t note how soon after the incident the action took place.
However, a report by the Canton Repository reveals more details. According to its story, Harless was placed on leave on June 20 pending the completion of an internal investigation. And according to the paper, Harless has a history of complaints against him — he has faced 16 internal affairs investigations since 2000 and been reprimanded in the past:
