Derek Colling might be the most dangerous (active) cop in the united states. In less than 5 years as a police office Colling has killed two, including one 15 year old boy, and was just caught on film beating a man for filming him – great write up and back story at Carlos Miller’s site. Of course Colling charged Mitchell Crooks with assault on a police officer, a complete lie as the video shows.
Please call the LVMP and ask why they would continue to employ such a violent person. LVMP Office of the Sheriff: 702.828.3231

Unbelievable. We need some chief executives who will fire these renegades. Just call a press conference and say “this community gets no more state aid, no education money, roads or any funding whatsoever until this guy is fired. Any town that hires him loses all state aid for the rest of the year. Any private company which hires him had better not need any government forms, permits or be on any funding source or they lose whatever it is. This worthless excuse of humanity would be better off if he hung himself and sought his reward in Hell.
I called the police number and the receptionist didn’t know anything but she gave me the number to Internal Affairs. It’s 702-828-3422. They are open during the work week from 8-4.
Colling is not the only one who needs to be fired and spend the rest of his days in prison. Every cop that stood around and watched him torture the citizen should join him. They are all dirty. There are NO good cops. Every one is crooked.
This officer, Derek Colling, also fatally shot a mentally handicapped minor in the head. Please call Las Vegas PD and ask why he still has a job: 702-828-3206
If you live in or near Las Vegas, why not arrange some mass protest outside Colling’s residence in northwest Las Vegas? He lives on 9246 Dorrell Lane, a few blocks north of the beltway. I wish I could come along, but I live on the other side of the planet.
what scum this cop is so afaid of a camra he is willing 2 lie and asult a person. Who the h ll is in comand of this town. this is why you need the feds to arest him and fix the coruption in this town and find out why this criminal was never arested. 2 murders and asult I wounder how many more people are murdered asulted or thown in jail on fake charges. I blame the oficer the sarg the capt the mare the juge wake up anyone of these people could of stoped him
I emailed a news reporter from LV that reported on the incident with the 15 year old. [email protected]
This cop has been given a paid vacation while they investigate…. Oh, I mean “suspended with pay”. Whatever: http://www.lvrj.com/news/las-vegas-officer-suspended-in-videotaped-beating-case-120549589.html
fkn worthless pig
Mitchell Crooks, world’s stupidest individual…
What a fool!
juandos, you’re fucking dumb. And if you can’t figure out why I said you’re fucking dumb, then just accept the fact that you’re too dumb to understand.
I called the Sheriff’s office and the lady who answered made it seem like these are the only calls she has been receiving lately. I heard someone in the background say, “Another one?” The Secretary said, “Mhm.” Then in the background again I heard, “He’s such a dirtbag.” My guess is they were talking about Derek Colling.
I’ve punched a Police Officer in the face for illegal search and seizure for entering my car with no probable cause and no permission. Needless to say he was pissed, but when I called 911 and told them what he was doing he got in his car and drove off. He was later fired from the Police Department. I was 17 and in High School haha.
THIS COP NEEDS TO BE IN JAIL!! Call District Attorney Christopher Laurent (702) 671-2500 & make them press charges on this fucking cop!
This is a really terrifying video. Makes me wonder if I should confront police again – what could happen to me? Ah, Fuck it, I say! I’VE GOT BALLS, I won’t be subjected to the “chilling effect” of videos like this. See my own videos: http://www.youtube.com/mrjustin5 Cops like this must be exposed and put in jail. This cop violated every rule in the book when it comes to encountering citizens.
Michael, if you assaulted a police offer for performing an illegal action, you are no better than the cop you are trying to get fired.
Just saying. The correct and proper response was to state you do not consent to searches, and let the courts figure it out. If the case is dismissed due to illegal search and seizure, you can counter sue for lost wages, etc, etc, etc. Hit them where it hurts, the wallet.
time to march on his house, but make sure the local news stations are called first to so thye can broadcast how pissed the people are
this cop need to be dealt with and locked up WITHOUT A DOUBT…he is not the type for that position and should be dismissed then locked up.
my god how can they let this evil person continue on the streets…he is dangerous
Just called and told he’s been relieved of duty.
Hope it’s true he got fired and can never work in LE again, certainly should lose his pension as well. In fact, ALL OF HIS ASSETS should be stripped away and given to his victims….
That video was hillarious! You idiots go around harrassing Police Officers at work and then complain because they treat you as you should be treated? You are just a bunch of jobless losers, who have nothing better to do with your time. Oh, I can do anything I want, boo hoo you arrested me waaaaaaaaa! “No victim no crime” Oh look I can shout nonsensical slogans that have no relevence or basis in fact. You guys crack me up. Keep up the good work, it makes for very amusing and entertaining video. Hope to see your asses getting kicked again soon.
wah wah wah I am Richard Hurtz! I can’t make intellectual arguments so I hurl insults! That totally makes me cool and definitely detracts from the fact that I’m an insecure idiot who is incapable of critical thought! I talk about people saying things that have “no basis in fact” but nothing that comes out of my mouth has any basis in fact! I am a prime example of the millions of brain-dead, fascism-loving Americans who like to see people get their asses kicked for expressing First Amendment rights, because fascism and tyranny are awesome!
He shot a man that pullled a revolver and a teen that had a knife to his own mother. Try to make such decisions in a split second and put your life on the line while doing it. Then you can judge…
This is a deplorable indication of how far the US is veering towards casual fascism. When someone puts on a uniform and feels free to use physical violence when none is required, one must ask if this is a product of his culture. How could he be given weapons, a badge, and leave to force himself into society without ensuring he knew his responsibilities or the constitution itself? I teach near Dachau KZ and this is exactly the type of personality who would have eagerly joined the SA and made excellent concentration camp personnel.
when do we get to go back a few years to Metro officer Bruce Genscher pumping 14 bullets into unarmed and peaceful John Perrin at Tropicana & Rainbow one evening? The guy was just walking to the local 7-11. His younger brother Phi Perrin set up a memorial in the field there. Promptly enough, several muscular men with crewcuts and driving four-wheel drive trucks drove through the field and destroyed the memorial. I was over there talking with Phil Perrin. So much for the ‘one rogue cop’ line. Oh, and I saw and experienced other Metro behaviour in 14 years of living in Las Vegas from 1994 to 2008. If you really want to enter Bizarro World, spend dome time assisting homeless people in the city. It will not be long before you hear consistent tales of outrageous abuses, and quite possibly experience it yourself.
Beaten a man with a camera and then making a false arrest is inexcusable, this asshole needs to find a job in a new sector. I am all for security, but this is clear abuse of power throw this prick behind bars!
Email sent – will call on Monday –
I would like state my severe outrage and disgust at the actions of officer Derek Colling. There is no excuse for an officer of the law to behave this way. I would consider it a dereliction of duty if this man’s superiors do not terminate him. I support the police, and I believe they do a difficult and dangerous job; however, when men such as Derek Colling use their position to oppress the citizens they are sworn to protect, they are a blight on the entire system. The only honorable action would be to fire this man immediately.
No worries, after Derrick gets fired from Metro not for his actions, but instead for bringing unwanted attention on the police state that is Las Vegas, he will be immediately hired by the police chief in Quartzsite, AZ. Theyve got some openings and Derrick will fit right in
Has there been any followups to this?
This excuse of a servant should be advised in no manner or way to come to Holland, we don’t take kindly to his sort and manner.
this pig ought to be fired, sued, and have to pay back the money he’s been receiving sitting on his ass since April. Then, taken into the desert and shot! He’s a no good punk motherfucker.
So a shooting that is justified is now held against you? You folks are really sick.
@Bob there’s nothing justified about Derek. He fictionalized this arrest = he lied about the shooting… you’re a fucking dipshit and deserve whatever bs you’re dealt in life.
This cop is an asshole. ANY COP that is intimidated by a camera videotaping him/her and reacts this way to a citizen deserves no place in law enforcement. The next thing society can expect is when a citizen LOOKS at a cop with any discernment they will be beaten too?
United Socialist of America that’s what our country has become.
Imagine you are officer Colling, you decided to intervene when a young man threatened his mother with a knife. You could do nothing and watch her die. But you acted. Then you are castigated and sued. Do you suppose he thought private investigators were following him to find evidence to hang him on? Everyone plays fair in lawsuits right? All this while on a dangerous job. I’m not saying he was right, but I AM saying I don’t think there is a case for vigilantism. If you don’t trust your own police department, then I think it’s time for political action.
REPLY IF ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY READ THE DETAILS OF HIS CASES? Of course you didnt. He shot a attempted murder suspect who pulled a gun on him, on camera. He them shot a teen who was holding his mom hostage with a knife to her throat. He’s a hero. It’s easy to criticize others from home isn’t it? Especially without bothering to read facts.
He was fired today…He lives down the street from me….i will not stop untill he leaves nevada.

Nice site. Just writing a peace about police brutality, see link above, and I featured this case.
Cheers and keep up the good work.
When we condone this, we become it and accept our children and loved ones can be treated like this too
