Phoenix officer’s recorded actions lead to firing

Jul 11, 2013, 11:16 AM | Updated: 11:16 am

PHOENIX — A Phoenix police officer’s mean-spirited behavior toward suspects and victims alike, all captured on his department-issued body camera, resulted in his firing.

That questionable behavior led to a woman filing a complaint against Officer Richard Greco, which in turn launched an internal investigation into his actions.

Several videos showed Greco insulting and cursing at those involved in the calls he responded to. The complaint originated in 2011.

According to ABC15, Greco appealed his firing but a review board didn’t budge from the judgment.

We want to hear from you.
