The video begins with the Kennewick patrolman, identified later by the department as 21-year veteran officer Glenn Ball, telling the teenager that stopping the kids helped him reach his


monthly quota — all the while being recorded, unbeknownst to him. 


“This is the last day of the month. I get every stat I need just off of you guys,” says the officer. 


“So you guys gotta make quota, huh?” asks the detained teen.Ohio Cop Only Faces Probation in Machine Gun Case29 March 2015, 00:29 GMT


“We don’t have a quota. We have ‘expectations.’ And what that means is, you will make so many arrests a month, you should write so many tickets a month, and you should haul so many dumbasses


to jail a month. If we’re gonna pay you $100,000 a year, we should expect something back from you, shouldnt we?” the officer replied. 


The young man then asks the cop, “On what grounds [would you arrest me]?”


“On what grounds?” the officer repeats. “Oh, I don’t know, I’ll think of something. How about aiding and abetting reckless driving?”


From there, the officer asks to see the young man’s ID, and after the teen tells him he has a clean record, the cop responds, “I’m the guy that can make that record look dirty.” 


The detained man asks for the officer’s name, to which the officer responds, “Be Quiet! Or you’ll have my name on a police report and your ass will be on the way to juvi for aiding and


abetting! Understand that?”


“You are a guy that’s gonna end up giving the city a lot of money,” the officer adds. South Carolina Cop Faces Murder Charge After Video Shows Fatal Shooting7 April 2015, 23:02 GMT


Kennewick PD Sergeant Ken Lattin told NBC Right Now that the the officer’s behavior in the video is not representative of the values of the department. 


"I just want everyone to realize that this is not the way we expect our officers to be. It's not our values, it's not the way we expect citizens to be treated and we take these things very


seriously. We're going to look into it, and we're going to take whatever actions are appropriate," explained Lattin.


A statement from the department indicated officer Ball remains on active duty.
