Former police officer Cariol Horne on reinstated pension, her police reform law
Former Buffalo, New York police officer Cariol Horne, who was fired more than a decade ago, has won a lawsuit this week to reinstate her pension. It comes a few months after she helped pass a city law aimed at increasing officer accountability. Horne, along with her attorney Intisar Rabb, joined CBSN to discuss her legal victory and the state of law enforcement.

GOOD FOR HER!!!!!! THEY SHOULD FIRE THOSE WHO FIRED HER !
And take their pension! 🤔
REAL TALK!!💯
Yes, even better to add to justice!
They were probably promoted and given commendations, part of the 'good old boys network'!
They should put the people who fired and punished her in tiny steel boxes and then drop those boxes in either of the great oceans.
It took 15 years for her to deal with the emotional pain, humiliations and financial struggles to get justice!!!!
AsSALAMUALIKUM:THATS THE BLESSINGS FOR THOSE WHO WAITED WITH PATIENTS. ONE OF THE ATTRIBUTES OF THOSE WHO ARE THE BEST OF HUMANITY!
Yes.
Dam shame
Every bit😡😡
They don't care for the policewomen either.. unless they make a mishap and choose a gun instead of a Tazer! They are the minority in that organization trying to have equal rights among corruption as well!!!
Has she been awarded her pension backdated? Is she being reimbursed for all her lawyers fees? Appalling injustice.
I read shes getting her pension and back pay
DJ 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yes ,I heard they backdated her pension all those years back to 2008.
@@djprettybrown3793 not back pay The judge only ordered them to give her back pay for the 2 years that would make her pension eligible Not the 15 years she lost as a police officer
Her lawyers took the case pro Bono so no legal fees 🙌🏾
I remember when this happened. I'm glad she was given justice.
Me too I thought I was the only one
Thank you I know there are police officers out there that know what's going on and they stay quiet and I thank you for not staying quiet and not giving up may God bless you and may you have a good life
She wasn't. She was jys given her legal right to what was due her
Where were the Blue Lives Matter people when it came to helping this woman? 🤔
Complaining about immigrants probably.
@@toddmorningstar4206 Yep
@@toddmorningstar4206 You're probably right.
Blue lives matter is a scam they only matter when you mention Black Lives
@@LionofthetribeofJudah650 Yes! Spot on.
Cariol was a GREAT police officer. We need more officers like her in this country 👮💪🏾❤
Best Comment👋
I agree there should be more Cariol Hornes & less of the Derek Chauvins & the Daryl Gates in the police departments all over Amerika!
I just want to thank Ms. Horne for saving that man's life.
Horne is a HEROINE❤ Sadly she was punished for doing the right thing. Think how many lives could be saved if there were more officers like this
So true
Absolutely!!
@Rachel you are right. I also wonder how many other officers are out there like Carol who did the right thing only to be fired and lose their jobs and pension.
@Dead Man Walking For 400 Years I agree
I agree💯
We need more people like her.and she knew what her duty was as a cop.She protecting and served above and beyond .Some day her efforts will save a lot more lives from bad, ruthless cops
yes and we need Cariol's Law everywhere!
Glad She got it back! Just imagine how much of that crap must be going on You don't hear about!
@Star Shine Right! The corrupt cop who eventually went to jail was able to get his pension, yet they waited to punish Carliol. That's the epitomy of racism right there.
That's the question!
SIMPLY REINSTATING HER PENSION IS NOT ENOUGH....WHAT ABOUT EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL DISTRESS ?? SHE NEED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS TOO....SUCH A HUMBLE AND BEAUTIFUL SOUL...
.. . ....mm ... .m. .....m.. M M.. m.. ...mm. Mm mm mm
For all those "but but but it's only a few bad apples out there!" fools out there, this is what often happens when genuinely good cops do the right thing opposed to "fitting in with the culture": They get whitelisted, gaslighted and colluded against until they run out of fuel to fight. Her perseverance is incredibly admirable. I hope she gets her pension WITH interest and then some.
Exactly! This is what a 'Good Cop with a gun' looks like! This is what happens to them when they step up and speak out! And it's not just Cops of Color either!
Facts!!! That's how you know police culture is nothing but a gang and they operate on the mob code!! These police chiefs always speak about the no snitching code and they are the very ones who enforce that same thing against the good police officers. The good cops are punished for doing the right thing!! They silence them by preventing them from being promoted, they demote them, ostracize them and force them out.
Please stop using the words or fraise bad apples , it was pushed and encouraged by the police or right wing media, when the violent lying aggressive at time murderous badge wearing crimals get caught out on camera Wrong is wrong Eg in that case all people incarcerated are bad apples , try that in court Nope Land of the free 🇺🇸 Stop it
Never mistake law for justice. Justice is an ideal and law is a tool.
@Peter Solar That's Deep! Very Good Comment!!
That part
Yeah, satan's law and his double standard...
@@chiefeaglespiritdancing9624 Right here on earth unfolding in all its grimey gritty glory. Its a good thing. Get this shytt over with
I strongly agree with you!
Thank you Madam Horne for showing the world what dignity and humanity look like.
You paid the price sister and you deserve to be the police chief; thank you for standing in the Gap and then another life was saved. To all peace
You are a real woman that has lots of courage and bravery ! We need more police like you!
I’ve been waiting for her victory. She deserved to be treated so much better
She should also be entitled to any interest that could have been accrued from savings on those funds.
You're right, she should. Her money sat in the pension fund gaining intrest for the union the entire time she fought to get it.
Exactly!
Good point
well, 12 years of lost pension at $3000 (guessing) per month is $432,000 that they would still owe her, probably double that with interest.
👏👏👏👏👏
Love her! She's a fighter 💪🏾❤
Yessssss yes yes justice for her. She was a good apple thats why she got thrown from the rotten bunch
I remember this story. Good for Cariol Horne. Man this shouldn't have taken this long. I'm glad at least the one thing that was wrong is now fixed.
They do that to get you frustrated
Exactly made right. Yeah!!
GOD IS TRULY FAITHFUL. BLESS YOU FOR YOUR LONG SUFFERING. GLORY BE TO GOD. BLESSINGS TO YOU MY SISTER. 🤗🤗🤗
She should have been paid retroactively!! The payment on these kinds of wrongs should compensate for 'pain and suffering', thereby signaling recognition of and amending the injustice she suffered!! It's funny that we hear from the Police Benevolent Association when corrupt cops are prosecuted. Why are they so silent in Ms. Horne's case?!💯
She is being.
Put her on the Police Commission.
I am soooo happy for this beautiful woman she was a great cop. I wish more of the cops were like her. I AM SO GLAD that you got your well earned and much deserved pension. BE BLESSED MY SISTER.
I have so much respect for this woman. They thought she would just give up and go away but she's a fighter. Very glad to hear she's finally received justice.
Wow...I remember this story...Congrats too her! Pay that Lady!!
Ms. Horne is a Strong African warrior! Thank God for her Love and Compassion. She made an Ultimate Sacrifice. How many would even Consider? Her tears proves it! Jesus Wept!
They need to be ashamed of themselves and they wonder why no one likes them that was a DISGRACE. I am glad she got her pension and more.
Bad cops don't care how terrible they do on the job, they will do madness on unarmed black citizen, but a good cop like her was part of solution and still be part of the solution to us and also, she made pride to stop a bad cop from harming a unarmed man, that lady was brilliant like true cop she is and always will be brilliant, much respect to Ms. Horne.
@@davidtookes7784 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm glad she's finally got justice. I remember when this first happen. I wish they'd given her all the time she lost over that 15 years. Pay her for all of the time she lost.
PLUS interest!
This is why we shouldn't just fade into the background when injustice happens to anyone. It is so sad that someone had to die for them to realize she saved that mans life.
This act that they passed in Buffalo should be initiated in ALL police departments, big and small alike. It would take someone with her courage to stand up and intervene.
I am very happy for you. Congrats. This stuff has got to stop. We are going backwards, instead of forward in this world.
Country*
This happen 10 years ago I don't see how this is going backwards.
I am very happy for my Sista.
Good for her!!❤❤
GOOOOD FOR HER As A Ex black police officer I went through the same thing took me 8 years I got my back pay and retirement,,, TEXAS!!!
She is still concerned about others, has a good heart
Cariol, you are a Guardian Angel. 💖
Good for her!! You shouldn't "lose" your pension no matter what happens. You pay into that for the entire time you're at that job and you deserve it at retirement.
May god bless her.
Well done and Congratulations Cariol Horne ! :)))
wait wait wait! so she saved someone from being strangled by a fellow police officer? she was charged with a crime for doing the right thing? they take away her pension? the officer whom she stopped does the same thing again to other people and is found guilty at that time and goes to jail but he got to keep his pension? WOW JUST WOW!
That’s right fam stand up and do something or we are nothing ! ✊🏽
I am so happy for her💕 Months away from retirement when this happened. She earned that pension! Stood up for what was right and the system did her so wrong. I'm glad her good karma found it's way back. Much love being sent from KS🌻
The system is not broken, it's working exactly as designed to operate!
Precisely.
Exactly
This honest and brave lady deserves her full pension and so much more. They should have her discharge of teaching police how they should behave and how to be honest
A lot of them are in it for the dirty money they get their hands on when they do catch the dealers. I've heard lots of stories along that line. Shameful.
But, sadly, (in my opinion) you can't teach values & morals to grown adults who've chosen wrong over right, darkness over light, hate over love, negative over positive etc., etc. their entire lives. We are taught the values of compassion, honesty, empathy, etc from childhood. But, sometimes even those who are "raised right" just don't follow the examples that were set for them & their moral compasses go totally astray. The ones out there that would most need to hear Cariol speak & teach them about ethics & values are the ones who likely wouldn't care to hear it at all.
She is a fighter, love her wisdom and character, blessings horn
Double it for the pain 😫 she has gone through....Time is up for horrible treatment towards Women period
Congrats 👏 👏 👏
Congrats !!! Justice prevailed !!
So happy for her. Awesome, for never giving up!!!
I'm glad she was vindicated but I still don't think she got what she deserved. This happened 15 years ago. She got 2 years of back pay and her pension was reinstated. I believe she should have gotten 15 years backpay, make sure her pension matches what it would be if she had continued to work all those years and money for emotional and financial damages and a very big public apology.
I'm happy for her and for her victory. She's chosen the right words to express her feeligs !
This is a good thing. Sad it took so long.
About time ! It is your money 💵 , stay safe and healthy .
Yes I am so happy for you Mrs. Horne
The truth like a pregnancy cannot hide and will be exposed. To God be the glory.
I don't know much of the facts, however I am glad she got her pension.
Justice is finally served 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
She wanted to actually do her sworn duty and protect some one, and her colleagues proved that sworn oath an absolute lie.
All officers involved should be seeked out. Stop their pension and apply it to the lawsuit, plus prison
THE OATH IS NOT THE LIE THE CONDUCT OF DIS - HONEST IS THE LIE AND TAUNTING THE LAW THAT THE PEOPLE TRUST IN . . . WHEN YOU BELIEVE CONTEMPT SWORN IN VIOLATED AT FELONY LEVEL WE ARE THE PEOPLE TOO OUR SONS WANTED THOSE CAREERS WHEN THERE WAS " OFFICER FRIENDLY " PUBLIC SCHOOL AND TEACHERS TEACHING THIS LAW GOES ACROSS THE BOARD NO MORE PROTECT CROOKS IN POSITIONS OF PUBLIC TRUST SUMMARY !
She should have pulled it and aced them after the punch.
Very much deserved..never lose your voice🙏
Here is an officer doing her job well and she was fired for it, she is amazing, God bless you and well done.
Congratulations sister ✊🏽
We need more like her. We wouldn't have the issues we have now
Thank God.. I have been following this for years...From her beautiful black hair to her beautiful gray hair...Hers and mines...You go beautiful...
Federal prison and yet continues to get a pension. No wonder bad cops feel like they are invincible
I like you Cariol Horne, and I appreciate all you have done and are still doing to make our world a better place to live in. Thank you for persevering and continuing to look for more avenues to improve things for officers and for the public in general. Lord bless you!
I am happy for her. She a real human being. God will always bless the righteous.
Congrats and thank you Ma'am u deserve it and so much more!! I remember this case very well!! The systemic racism in the judicial system has to be put out ASAP 💯!!
EXPONENTIALLY JP, unleashing those numerous police criminal "TRUTHS" performed via so called "PEACE OFFICERS" that took an oath to "Protect and Serve" all people unbiasely. Systemic police brutality of 🇺🇸 USA citizens ~~~ abhorrent.
Yessssssss ! Get what you deserve sista 🙏🏾
“If you back us in a corner what do you expect... stop killing us”. Well said 👸🏾!!!!
Protect and serve! Means any one commiting a Crime, Should be subject to arrest.Thank you Queen. For the great sacrifice. Reporters need to shut -up and Listen to the answers.
If a police officer stands by whilst their colleague is using unnecessary or illegal force (or doing something else illegal) and is found guilty, then the bystanding officer(s) should be charged with joint enterprise, just as people in gangs are, in the UK, at least.
Always speak up for what's right people and great wonderful news for Cariol Horne she gives me inspiration.
Wow, the cop that she stopped from abusing someone is in prison for doing it again to another person and is still getting his pension!
Sadness
That “blue code” goes against their Own when they choose to do Right! God is Great! Pray that she got everything that is due to her! & big thanks to Carol for doing what right! Thank you for writing the law!
This is why we need to dismantle America old slavery system of policing. When a good cop try to save a life, do the right thing they get punished. Black cops are discriminated against in police dept.
hero.
Bless you for getting your pension.We can only hope that there will be police reform.You are right about who is the mob.Rubber bullets as oposed to those seeing a grown man dying in fron of thier eyes....Lets hope for change...!!!
White America we cannot keep going on like this we got to do what's right this is wrong wrong wrong wrong and so many ways. This woman was fired for saving someone's life
Fired, Robbed, and Slandered for literally "Protecting and Serving"..
America justice
She prevented a controversial incident that would have cost the city money but this behavior is so ingrained in policing she ends up getting punished instead. That is the reality.
Very heartfelt and touching interview Ms. Horne. I'm very happy for you and Lady Justice. 😊
I was so happy to hear this, it was so awful I remember being so upset behind the way she was being treated. 🙏🏾Really hope this sets a new precedent. Good police please stand up!
What a beautiful bright woman beacon of light
I am glad this woman gets her pension and she should receive money for wrong full termination.
May GOD continue to Bless you,I'm glad you never gave up.That was a blessing from GOD that you was there to save a life, lives.
Well I'm glad she got it it was long overdue🤔
Yasssss she finally gotten her justice she believed 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😩😩😩😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥
She needs to be over policing in America. Make a new position and give it to her.
Truth
Ms. Cariol, I'm so happy for your win.. Justice finally came!!! Just wanting to say I'm so happy for you!!!!! And for new Cariol Law!!! GOD bless you and your family!!!!
Thank you Cariol Horne for not compromising your integrity. God Bless you and your family. Go’s bless 🇺🇸 America
I am truly glad that she will be receiving all the financial help that was wrongfully taken from her. Now this is so good the law that she has placed infront of Them. But as we all know the problem is actually the racism that they have in policing in America.I pray that God give you strength mentally and physically you’ll safely and peaceful many more years to come much love my sister yes much love .,!!🙏🏾❤️ oh yes 😎
Congratulations! So proud for this officer.
Ms Horne is exactly correct, when she said that cooperation and compliance is often not enough, from the suspects, with respect to the mindset of the officers perusing. You can do everything you are instructed/ordered to do and they police will be determined to escalate the situation. Compliance should be an indication, to the office to de-escalate I am so proud of Ms Horne, for her pursuit of her rights and the rights of others. Had she not fought for justice, every step of the way, she would not have gotten justice freely given, as it should have been, for such egregious acts on her character. Although this was terrible injustice and instigation of blatant dirty tricks, on the part of the police dept, she would never have been acknowledged for their victimization of Ms Horne. So proud of her for fighting for her justice. Thankful for the Judge, who over turned the deeds of the department.
Yes so happy for her praise Yah
I'm happy for Ms. Horne, she deserves the Best !
This is the day the LORD has made for Caroline's justice. Let us join her and rejoice in the LORD of justice and fairness.
Power and peace ☮️🕊️ and protection to you beautiful Queen 😘👑!! Blessings over your life and family with love ❤️!!
Thank u Lady C. Happy for you. It is regrettable - your pain and suffering. What can be done to stop these rogue police? Retrain them in humane appropriate behaviour, monitor them, get rid of the bullies, and the racist from the police department and the Injustice System. One day, the "experiment" being carried out on the POLICE will backfire. Until then, stop making excuses for their murderous acts. remove the Injustice System
My heart ❤💙💜goes out to all who are oppressed !!!!!!
Imagine if the three stooges around Chauvin had intervened as she did...
Cariol Horne is a modern day hero and should be recognized as such nationally.
I hope she gets not only that pension but also a MAJOR financial judgement against the city and police department for turning a blind eye to police corruption.
