"Officer Brandon Huckle enters through a side door. When Huckle opens the door and enters, it strikes a grey-colored vehicle inside the garage, making an audible impact...He then flings the door into the car a second time using a motion from the wrist."

MASSENA — The village police chief says there is an internal investigation into a video that allegedly shows a Massena patrolman intentionally damaging a vehicle while executing a search warrant.

Attorney Brian Barrett is representing the owner of the vehicle, but he declined to name the person.

The alleged incident took place March 16. The 20-second video, which is widely circulating on social media and includes audio, appears to show the inside of a garage, which Officer Brandon Huckle enters through a side door. When Huckle opens the door and enters, it strikes a grey-colored vehicle inside the garage, making an audible impact.
Huckle looks down at the area of impact, then looks off camera to the viewer’s left for several seconds. He then flings the door into the car a second time using a motion from the wrist, again making an audible impact.

A couple of seconds later, Huckle grabs the door again, and this time using a full arm motion, swings then door so it hits the car a third time with an audible impact. Then, it sounds like an unidentified person off camera to the viewer’s left says something to Officer Huckle, who looks down at the point of impact, starts to walk toward the person who spoke, and the video ends. Barrett said his client will have an estimate on any damage in the next week or so.

he sure as hell can’t be trusted to follow the big rules. His behavior exemplifies “I can do whatever I want”. Would love to have seen the look on his face when he was called in to view that video.
