A Saratoga County sheriff's sergeant was suspended after a video posted on the Internet Friday captured him allegedly slapping a young man as the deputy insisted on searching his vehicle, which had a rifle on the back seat.
Sheriff Michael Zurlo on Saturday said he was "very disturbed" by what he saw on the video.
"I really am," the sheriff said. "I don't condone activity as it's portrayed and we're going to look into it and we'll handle this quickly and swiftly."
Sgt. Shawn R. Glans, 48, who has been a police officer for 27 years, was suspended without pay pending an internal investigation.
The video was captured by a young man who filmed his friend's encounter with Glans early Friday in Halfmoon. Glans confronted the pair after he said they walked out of nearby woods to their vehicle, which was in the parking lot of a business. Glans noticed a .22-caliber rifle on the back seat. The sergeant said they were wearing dark clothes and acting suspiciously, although they broke no laws.
"We'll get a (expletive) search warrant," the video shows Glans telling the young man, who was questioning the deputy's insistence that he be allowed to search the car.
"I wasn't in my car when all this was happening," the young man says. "Like, why don't you want to search, like, my house or something."
The video depicts Glans becoming frustrated as he says: "Let me see your (expletive) keys."
"Why?" the young man asks. "You can't do that."
"Because we're searching your (expletive) car, that's why," Glans says.

The article isn't clear, but I believe the car was searched. The cop forcibly took the keys from the guy.
Also interesting from this case?
It clearly illustrates the “resisting arrest” ploy that cops use to justify violence against a citizen. “Resisting arrest” is nothing more than an excuse.
did you get pinged yet?
see my tagline, in honor of your father
Glans sounds like a real p###k
He should have been immediately ARRESTED for “attempted Armed Robbery, Making Criminal Terrorist Threats, Assault, Deprivation of Rights,...”
He Belongs in PRISON, General Population.
Stop Resisting as I pummel your face, break your arm, put my knee in your back.
-Stop Resisting-
“This is why the COPs will have no qualms about kicking your front door in when the pols tell them to confiscate your guns. None can be trusted.”
Don’t trust ANYBODY. People lie so freaking much, they lie when the truth would do. I don’t know if it’s always been this way and the lies are just easier to find due to the internet, but my gosh, it boggles the mind.
Bets on whether he’s a union member and a registered Democrat.
No word on His Partner in Crime that willfully took Orders to Violate the LAW and this Man’s Rights. Why didn’t he ARREST the THUG?? Is he Suspended as an ACCESSORY to the Crimes committed?? How about for MISPRISON of a FELONY?? He should be charged as well!
The left plays on the suits on big tobacco. Their sodomite kids shoot up schools but they blame the gun and the gun owner for the transfer, not the smoking little piece of crap sodomite.
Our politicians happening to be exploiting sodomites themselves is no coincidence.
WHY DO WE NEED TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS FROM THE LONDON DAILY TIMES???
JBT alert.
First thing I noticed.
You got down to the “meat-us” of the “hole” thing! ;^}
Assault and Battery
-And -
Depravation of rights under color of law - a felony.
Just another cop that think she is a dictator without any laws to follow. He needs his ass kicked hard on this one and serve time in prison. He committed so many felonies I think they could randomly pick one and he’d be guilty of it.

No doubt.
I bet she’s had a few slaps herself over the years.
Standard answer to Can I search your ______ is always, NO.
And to Well get a warrant. is You do that.
I got pulled over in Harpersville, Al. a few years ago by a young cop and his civilian sidekick. Power tripping bullies, both of them. Why pulled over? Headlight out. It was daylight. Headed home from work if was about 6:30 p.m in July.
They wanted to search my car. I said no. They wanted me to get out. I asked why. “Because I said so”. So I did. They put me in the back of the Charger. Turned the heat on and left me. Came back in 10 minutes and asked if they could search my car. No. Came back in another 10 minutes and wanted to search. No. Came back in 20 minutes and asked again. O.K.
Didn’t find anything. By this time it’s almost dark. “You have a good evening and be sure to get that light fixed”.
The idiot cop doesn’t work for Harpersville anymore. His idiot sidekick still lives there though. See him hanging out at the convenience store at the one light in town.
So, I gave up my rights for a little comfort. Call me a pussy, I don’t care. But if you’re handcuffed in the back of a Charger cruiser with the heat wide open in July, after awhile making a point begins to seem like not such a good idea.
Assholes.
They wonder why they are so hated....well there ya go!
But, but, he's had a very hard year! His wife said so!, I guess we should all just chill out and accept and excuse what these out of control law enforcement officers do because maybe.........they had a really hard year, month, week, day minute or second. You know what we would get if we told a cop hey sorry but I've had a really bad year........our azz kicked.
