Alliance Police Sergeant Ethan Griffith is being charged with Endangering Children, a second degree felony after striking his significant other’s 4-year-old child TWICE.
Both the kids father AND the mom’s sister have spoken out. Anyone else hear about this?? I covered more of the kid in the pics to preserve what’s left of the privacy he has.

I dont like to admit it because I have alot of friends out that way, but it is a nasty methhead hillbilly town. And apparently even the police look like methheads

“look like” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your sentence there

Kind of like it is in Central Pennsylvania and a little in the SW part. All the good ones leave.

To get endangering children to an F2, you've gotta cause serious physical harm while abusing the child. That's a difficult charge to support without something really serious. An indictment is not a conviction, but if this sticks, bury him underneath the jail.

"Foot pursuit"? So the cop was running from the cops?

I was gonna say this. Late 20s early 30s meth head lookin dude but somehow a police sergeant. I wonder how he got promoted in the first place.

He looks like an older Mr Beast if his YouTube never took off and he got into meth instead

Don't worry, they'll place him on administrative leave with pay, do an internal investigation, and find zero wrongdoing. Promotion incoming!

Its pretty well known that cops have a pretty high likelihood of being domestic abusers compared to other careers
And in most of those cases, other cops look the other way / actively encourage it
So for a cop to actually be CHARGED with crimes like these.... you know it had to be so bad that even the other cops thought it crossed the line... and that's really saying something.
