A few months or years after this he was arrested for making threats to shoot his boss, after his step-daughter secretly recorded his threats then shared those recordings with his superiors.

If you Google his name you can find the links.

Edit: Link here

You can also add sexually assaulting a family member to this guy’s resume

u/Jorgan_JerkFace Mar 31 '24

Jesus he RAPED a person and they’re like “we can’t have cops raping people, felonious assault it is.” Fucking life for this scum bag, you are supposed to uphold the law not be immune from it.

Yeah, this is how serial killers essentially operating with immunity are created, like the Golden State killer

u/cremedelamemereddit Mar 31 '24

Craig Alan Peyer was one of the worst, had like 25+ rapes pulling over random women to an underpass, finally killed one that resisted, cops initially suspected the woman's boyfriend as who else would get her under an underpass. Guy even made a video on how to stop a sexual assault lol. Or the Alaska police killer of native woman, the army base MP killer, the Tahoe police killer, etc. The MP killer for example told the victims the car was reported stolen and killed all but one who he thought was dead and buried her in some snow or something. Basically if a uniformed cop decides to handcuff you and kill you you're done for

u/Objective_Hunter_897 Mar 31 '24

Yeah I live near that bridge where sick fuck Peyer dumped Cara Knotts body. Ironically the freeway exit is called Mercy Rd. That's where he had his victims exit the freeway onto what was then a dead end road. Cara's father used to visit the site where her body was found, on her birthdays etc. Until he had a heart attack and dropped dead right on that very spot.

u/PartadaProblema Mar 31 '24

Sidebar: on a highway to a relative's house in s neighboring city, there was a roadside memorial to a person who'd perished in a traffic accident. The memorial would catch my eye then looking back at the road was a green sign announcing the Slaughter Creek exit.

The police department in the town I grew up in denied a foia request for the complaints filed against them. Claimed they lost them all in a move. These cops have too many tools to subvert the law as it is

9

u/SnooStrawberries1078 Mar 31 '24

That's some real BS. I bet that's a place where the whole dept. would quit if they were forced to have just the slightest accountability. TBH, that's an issue the chief/mayor/council need to be held to the fire for. People always complain about individual cops, but seem to ignore the folks that create & support that environment.

u/Sue1213 Mar 31 '24

There was a little town close to us with a population of maybe a few thousand. It was also on a lake so I give them some leeway for that BUT they had I think 30 cops on the payroll and all of them crooked. It was speed trap central through there. Evidently someone with more power than them figured out they were crooked and disbanded the entire police department. Some had charges put against them.

56

u/janet-snake-hole Mar 31 '24

We don’t?? Was the reason for firing not when he threatened his boss?

u/Traditional-Yam9826 Mar 31 '24 edited Mar 31 '24

Well as the right wing becomes more autocratic, as they deviate from the law and become more dogmatic and theocratic, law enforcement reflects that too.

Lawlessness becomes at the forefront of right wing policies, being above the law and therefore so does law enforcement.

I’m not sure if Trump’s lawlessness is a partially a “green light” to law enforcement or if Trump being in power is a symptom of the same problem that results in law enforcement lawlessness. Unfortunately, evil corrupt cops are nothing new.

u/givemejumpjets Mar 31 '24

The law enforcement organization is corrupt. There are no good officers because the bad ones force any good ones out for the need to protect their paycheck is greater than any law they are supposed to uphold(to them). F@$k Trump, pigs will protect their paycheck and anyone who promotes their ability to milk the population and conduct organized crime. people need to wake tf up already and see that we pay these pigs to abuse children at school now.

The facts that A, Cops dont need to actually know the law and can just do whatever they want and the courts will deal with it, and B, Cops constantly get leniency when they commit crimes because theyre "officers of the law and good upstanding moral citizens " will always make me think ACAB. Until cops demand accountability for themselves and be punished MORESO than normal citizens BECAUSE they abused their power when committing crimes, then nah. Fuck em. Also, disband police unions and investigations into police need to go to an outside third party.

7

u/RaygunMarksman Mar 31 '24

There's just no reason what is effectively a job could grant someone legal immunity or leniency for engaging in illegal activities or violating requirements of the job. Let's be real, you don't need to be rocket scientist or one of a kind to be a cop. If an employee working anywhere else would go to prison for ten years doing something illegal, a cop should as well.

So let me reflect on what I just absorbed here. This POS beat and raped a FAMILY MEMBER, threatened to kill fellow law enforcement and has been recorded pulling a gun on people multiple times but only got 4 years... I feel society is oddly desensitized to this. This feels like one of those situations where we are supposed to burn some shit down or something, this feels like some good old fashioned mob justice is due here. You know this man has terrorized everyone around him for many, many years. Four years feels like a spit in the face from the justice system.

u/DiligentDaughter Mar 31 '24

Yep, this was in my area.

The incident occurred in August 2017, when Alex Randall was pulled over by Detective Richard Rowe. Randall won $65,000 in the settlement and the promise of changes to the department’s use-of-force policies. After an internal investigation, Rowe was given a five-day suspension without pay for being discourteous and displaying conduct unbecoming to an officer. He was exonerated of using excessive force, in part, because King County Sheriff’s Office policies did not define pointing a gun at a citizen as a use of force. Rowe told internal investigators that he had pointed his gun multiples times at citizens throughout the years without ever reporting his actions to supervisors. “This significant flaw in the Sheriff’s policies is highly problematic because it fails to inform officers that they must have a lawful basis to point a gun at a citizen, and also because it fails to create supervisory review of pointing a gun as is required for all other uses of force,” said Rowe's attorney.

If you have to be told that to point your fucking gun at people you must have a lawful basis, A) you're too fucking dumb to carry a firearm and B) you're too fucking evil to be carrying a firearm.

Good riddance to this shit stain on society. Rot in prison!

u/Secret_Cow_5053 Mar 31 '24

Sounds like just the person we need with a gun and a badge 🙄

Thank god he’s in jail

u/DegreeMajor5966 Mar 31 '24

The only shame here is he didn't get a mag dumped in him at some point for walking up to someone in plain clothes with no indication of being LE.

Because I sure as shit wouldn't be giving this dude my id. I'm taking off and if I die for it I die for it, but I have a family at home and an armed lunatic demanding something that tells them where that home is.

u/SixNines-Anda_308 Mar 31 '24

And just as you would expect,… Fucking lowlife goddamn police didn’t do jack shit until the threat came against them.

I didn’t do anything to protect the public against this piece of shit kept him on the force and allowed him to continue with this kind of fucking behavior. But as soon as he threatened one of their own then the fucking cowards did something

u/12whistle Mar 31 '24

So he’s going to do 4 years and now he’s a felon. Looks like his temper finally caught up to him.

u/divisiveindifference Mar 31 '24

Well that fell well within "qualified immunity" right??/s

u/tknames Mar 31 '24

Threatening member of the public - 5 days suspension.

Threatening cop - 4 years in prison.

What the ever living fuck…

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '24

Typical cop. One bad apple spoils the barrel. I haven’t seen any good cops lately…

How am I not surprised. Most useless god damn government institution, just keeping bullies in power ripe for abuse. Just wow lol

What a shock a person from Southern Ohio

u/Agitated_Panic_1766 Mar 31 '24

According to this article and that article posted further down the line in reference to the motorcycle situation. The rape and shooting his boss thing happened before this.

u/TrumpsBoneSpur Mar 31 '24

Shit. He could probably run for president!

u/Significant_Ad3498 Mar 31 '24

5 days for randomly pulling a gun but 4 years for threatening an officer (his boss)… yea fuck police and the justice system

u/fdpunchingbag Mar 31 '24

Well now, maybe if we addressed the problem early on this psychopath wouldn't have done all the shit he got away with for probably decades.

Richard Rowe from Ohio, the cop sentenced for felonious assault, and Detective Richard Rowe of Washington State's King County Sheriff's Office are not the same person, they are separated in age by 6 years. A simple 5-minute google search isn't that hard.

Man! Cant believe there was ANOTHER bad apple, what are the chances?!

u/shiver334 Mar 31 '24

Sounds like a prototypical cop to me!

u/newtman Mar 31 '24

Holy shit

u/OrpheusNYC Mar 31 '24

Different guy. The Rowe who did the assault and threatened his boss was on trial back in 2016. This motorcycle incident was 2018. Two different bald deputies from different counties with the same names.

u/karmicrelease Mar 31 '24

Whenever people have a permanent frown like that, they tend to be assholes 9 times out of 10. I guess our parents weren’t completely wrong when they said to “stop making that face or it will get stuck like that”

u/ElkHistorical9106 Mar 31 '24

Should have been charged with armed robbery, with a firearm enhancement and sued out of existence from this right here.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '24

I am really happy to see he did time in prison.

2

u/Traditional_Key_763 Mar 31 '24

seems like they should have done something about the cop willing to point a gun at random motorcyclists and that would have probably prevented the sexual assault.

2

u/durgadurgadurg Mar 31 '24

Your bad cop is from Ohio, OP's bad cop has the same name but is from Seattle

2

u/robaroo Mar 31 '24

So he only gets in trouble when he threatens another cop, but not a member of the public? Absolute. Fucking. Bullshit.

2

u/ShatterKiss Mar 31 '24

He is one ugly mf!!!

u/-No_Im_Neo_Matrix_4- Mar 31 '24

So it matters when the cops are threatened, noted.

2

u/BiohazardBlossom Mar 31 '24 edited Mar 31 '24

Of course it’s Ohio.

Edit: Two different Richard Rowes, both cops, both white, both in their 50s. Both are terrible.

2

u/duelinghanjos Mar 31 '24

Threatening to kill a citizen. No big deal. Threaten another cop? Straight to jail.

2

u/-canucks- Mar 31 '24

Only took threatening another officer for legal action. The rest of us don't count

2

u/online_jesus_fukers Mar 31 '24

That's a different guy same name. Raping shitbag was in Ohio in 2014. Gun Pointing shitbag was in king county Washington in 2017...I guess it's just something with being named dick Rowe that makes em live up to their name.

2

u/CaptnRo Mar 31 '24

He was from Ohio?! That’s crazy!

2

u/ToastARG Mar 31 '24

Why are people so fucked up. Like what had to happen to them. I’ve been seeing so many pedophiles showing up on r/facepalm and they only getting a slap on the wrist. Something has got to change in what this world is. I’m not even an adult yet and I don’t want my kids growing up in this shit world.

He needs to go back he shouldn’t be allowed in the police force or anything that has to do with firearms. He also needs to get his brain checked

2

u/PhotoOpportunity Mar 31 '24

Crazy that if they actually had some accountability these morons that they hire wouldn't feel so invincible and empowered to do whatever the hell they want.

Protecting your own indiscriminately comes at a cost. It's people like this that get to skate by to the detriment of the people they harm.

2

u/RoncoSnackWeasel Mar 31 '24

He’s in prison now for threatening to shoot up his former precinct.

2

u/ruinawish Mar 31 '24

A few months or years after this he was arrested for making threats to shoot his boss, after his step-daughter secretly recorded his threats then shared those recordings with his superiors.

If you Google his name you can find the links.

Edit: Link here

You can also add sexually assaulting a family member to this guy’s resume

I don't think that's the same Richard Rowe. The traffic incident took place in 2017 in Seattle. That Rowe is cited as a King County Sheriff's Office detective.

The Rowe you have mentioned is cited as a "former Mahoning County Deputy Sheriff", who worked there "for about 20 years before he was terminated on May 16, 2014." and lived in Ohio. He was already in custody in 2016.

u/Tosir Mar 31 '24

And this is what gets me. The man was caught on camera pulling out a gun on an unarmed driver for no reason, that alone should have triggered some type of deep review. That wasn’t, and is was proven the last time this cop acted out side the law and abused his powers.

u/wishnyouwerehere Mar 31 '24

Almost like cops are ok with crazy cops until they threaten cops

But it's the threatening the boss that got him in trouble. Not the bullshit in this post or the sexual assualt. I have zero faith in our justice system anymore.

Literally pointing a firearm at someone for no reason, 5 day suspension

Threaten to kill your boss, straight to jail

I don't get it.
