A Colorado police officer has found himself on the other side of the law after another officer reported him for misconduct for yelling and cursing at a 17-year-old female during a traffic stop. This prompted an internal investigation in the department and the officer placed on administrative leave, per CNN. 

Police released body cam video from the June 29 incident on Wednesday, showing Sgt. Ed Acuti approach the girl’s vehicle after it was stopped for speeding. He asked the male passenger to get out, but the man ran, dropping a loaded stolen gun in the process.

The unidentified 17-year-old driver remained at the scene and was arrested and questioned by Acuti about her connection to the passenger. CNN reports that the video from the officer’s body cam shows the teen and officer arguing and cursing at each other. 

“You better f—— keep your mouth shut or I’ll make your life a living f—— hell. From this f—— day forward,” the officer reportedly said. “You wanted it, you f—— earned it. I don’t care how the f— old you are.” 

In part of the video, the teen expresses fear and asks the officers to call her mother, adding, “This is what y’all do. Y’all kill people.” 

Police said Acuti’s use of profane language is not “consistent with the training or expectations of an Aurora police officer.” 

As of last summer, it is illegal for an officer to witness misconduct and not report it, per CNN. 

The Associated Press reports that Aurora police have been under fire since the death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man, in 2019. Three Aurora police officers were dispatched to a report of a person wearing a ski mask. They confronted McClain, a massage therapist, and pinned him to the ground as he fought for his life.  

Paramedics arrived shortly after and gave him ketamine, causing him to choke on his own vomit. McClain died of a heart attack six days later, on Aug. 30. 

In September, the three police officers — Nathan Woodyard, Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt — and the two paramedics responsible — Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec — were charged with manslaughter for their role in McClain’s death. McClain’s family has also reached an agreement with the city of Aurora.
