Kenneth Qualls claims he had permission from on high to give the toddler a $2,500 public urination ticket in November 2012 after the boy began to pee in front of his house.

An Oklahoma cop canned for citing a 3-year-old boy for peeing outside is now suing the city of Piedmont for unfairly flushing his career.

Kenneth Qualls claims he had permission from on high to give little Dillan Warden a $2,500 public urination ticket in November 2012 after the tot unzipped in his pants on Ryan Drive.

The prohibited pee was on private property, the boy’s mother, Ashley Warden, said at the time.

"I said really, he is 3-years-old, and [the officer] said it doesn't matter – it’s public urination,” the boy’s grandmother, Jennifer Warden, told KWTV News 9 at the time.

But about 10 days after the ill-advised ticket, Qualls was dumped from the department, The Oklahoman reported.

~snip~

During the 2012 pissing match, the officer was even called “stupid” by the city’s mayor, furthering muddying his reputation, the suit claims.

Peeing in public.

What if he wet his pants in public. Technically, that IS urinating in public!

At my age, I might too.

Not to mention your ‘dumping’ scenario. If a person soils their drawers in public, that would be “in public”.

More war on kids, and old folks.

So. He got a lawyer and is suing. Chances are... he may collect something. But in the end.... he is a jerk and I hope he never works in law enforcement again.

Only faggots can expose themselves in public, as they have a magic talisman, and they didn’t grow up to be men. Three year old boys are up and coming men, which is closer to being a man than most fudge packers will ever see.

All liberals suffer from homophobia. They’re terrified of faggots, and will bend over backwards to avoid getting “the look” from one.

For those of you who are homosexual and reading my words... mark my words... you will be targeted by the Rats just as soon as they don’t need you as their magic kewpie talisman that they use to stab at Christianity.

Even ASKING about giving this toddler a ticket should disqualify this jerk officer from being employed anywhere that needs a working brain to work there.

Yet another idiot not wanting to be held accountable for their actions. The stupid cop didn’t want to be held accountable but thinks he should be able to hold others accountable. Typical liberal.

Probably the guy did other dumb things and citing the 3 year old for public urination was the last straw

“Yes, it’s ridiculous.

But if he was in contact with his station and his superiors told him to give the ticket, he has a point in terms of his being fired.”

You do realize that the fact he even bothered to ask says a lot about who he is. The only question is, should they also go after the guy who said it was OK? If this guy has no more discretion than that, he does not belong as a cop.

As for “permission on high”, I hope he has a lot more than that statement to back it up.

A cop at another site said it best. “Thank you officer dumbass for improving public relations.”

Sheriff Andy put up with Barney Fife for years but he would have canned this idiot in the first episode.

This guy is a cookie, what a maroon.

IF....and that’s a big if, he did have permission it
would have been in the form of a radio call to HQ
where he would have asked the watch commander if he
should cite or not. And if said shift supervisor actually
did tell him to do so then it is the shift supervisor
who should be held accountable. And IF said conversation
actually occurred it should have been recorded as virtually
ALL agencies record their radio traffic. Should be fairly
simple to confirm or deny the allegations.

That’s why I live in the country with no close neighbors. I can pee and shoot out the back, front and side doors and no one says a thing.

I thought you were going to say you lived in the country so no little boys would pee in your yard...but sadly no, that wasn't the reason.

Live stock and pets pee out side all the time only in crowed urban areas is it a worry.

I am sure my son pee in the yard and woods a lot when he was little to much time wasted to run back into the house.
