A Florida city commissioner shocked his colleagues during an awards ceremony for outstanding officers last week when he claimed one of the honorees was a "bad police officer" who had falsely arrested him years earlier.
The surprise moment came after other city officials in Tamarac, Florida, honored Broward Sheriff's Office Deputy Joshua Gallardo with the deputy of the month award for his role in arresting an alleged gang member who had been wanted for murder.
Gallardo accepted his award, took pictures with the city's mayor and was heading back to his seat in when Tamarac City Commissioner Mike Gelin took the microphone and asked him to come back to the front, as seen on a video recording of the meeting.
"Joshua Gallardo, will you come down for a second? It's good to see you again," said Gelin, before erupting into a tirade over what he believed to have been a false arrest in 2015. "You probably don't remember me, but you're the police officer who falsely arrested me four years ago."
"You lied on the police report. I believe you're a rogue police officer. You're a bad police officer, and you don't deserve to be here," he added.

Gelin proves that he's a douche. Twice.
Charges dropped?
Both douches.
Sounds like Gelin was being an obnoxious activist at the time.
Commissioner Dindunuffin.

It is Broward County. There’s every possibility both are questionable. Remember, this is Sheriff Scott Israel’s Sheriff’s Department. His policies led directly to the Parkland shootings, and there were some really questionable actions there from other deputies.
Broward county Democrat scum...
“Sounds like Gelin was being an obnoxious activist at the time.”
You nailed it my friend.
Almost always a redundant phrase.
Local Miami media has been all over this the past couple of weeks....
I don’t know if you can find it, because it seems local media has also scrubbed the full video. But as the crybaby commissioner is attacking the cop in front of the gathering, the cop himself is kind of grinning. And when the crybaby is done, the cop just kind of nods happily and gives a THUMBS UP to the comments....it is HILARIOUS.
My observation is that the cop really didn’t care about the boo-hoos from the crybaby. Almost like he is laughing at him.
Gelin needs more chillin/!
Gee Gelin; you sure picked a funny time to show everyone your dirty diaper.
What next? Wee weeing in your coffee cup?
Gelin; at the very least you chose to show the world you are not fit for your position. You have been promoted way past your abilities and competence level. Back to shining shoes or cleaning outhouses is where you belong. And no, not a racist statement, I’d say that about anyone who chose to show his ass like that.
