2. When you rattle the criminal element in the community, people who like to enable criminals get upset.

   Take your pension and go Pablo, job well done.

         4. Salute sir. You have the right attitude.

   2. True. You’ve gotten away with the game for too long. Somehow, you’ve made it this far with no serious consequences. Many others with the same number of incidents in their files would have been gone long ago. It’s time to retire, Pablo. In this job, no one who tries to go the extra mile is acknowledged. Maybe that captain saw your joke as an opportunity to get rid of you. You know you’re a good cop, but in this job, medals are meant only for the butt-kissers.

      1. Very true across all institutions today due to slow motion civil disintegration and cultural emo-feminization that fast breeds low quality defective leadership.

         However, in the likely events ahead, ex-cops of this quality will be very sought after for their skills as independent agents to erase out local chaos.

4. Torres should have been fired years ago. He has always been a menace. It is good that Chief Patten had the guts to do it, Maybe things with the department will improve.

   Kenosha is safer now.

   1. The second guy Torres shot was armed with an empty 5 gallon plastic bucket. Torres had no business working when that happened. He was put back on the street by former Kenosha chief of police and current city administrator John Morrissey.

      Maybe if Morrissey had a real college degree instead of the fake one he has claimed for 25 years, he would have known how stupid it was to put Torres back on the street so soon after the first shooting. Morrissey, just as much as Torres, is responsible for that second shooting. It could have been prevented.

      1. The 1st gentleman he shot had a pair of scissors up to his own throat, was a combat Vietnam Vet, off his meds that never threatened anyone but himself. One of the 5 police officers in the garage that day tripped over a snow blower, Torres panicked and started shooting. Had there been a crisis officer there that day, it would have never happened. I’m glad to see them take his badge and gun. Good riddance

         1. You seemed to casually leave out he had a warrant, and went on a high speed chase endangering others. But hey, that don’t fit your agenda to wonder why a criminal fled and could have caused harm.

            1. Who cares.

5. Gee, if he goes for good does the KPD get the imported trained dog back they bought him when he was promoted to Detective that is worth thousands?

6. back the blue, shame on all of you calling out this crazy ass cop, shame. cops are under a lot of stress, steriods, and should be above the law. slapping a chick cop on the ass happens in every office in america.

   1. Most people are afraid to look in one.

9. Growing up in Kenosha me and my family have had many dealings with Torres. I can say this; he has always treated us fairly, and gave us the benefit of the doubt. This was also at a time, when community policing was a big thing. It’s unfortunate to read articles like this, because I think he was a great Detective. Maybe he lost his way during the last few years, or sometimes it’s hard for the older officers to adapt to the new way of doing things. I still appreciate the great years of service that he gave the Kenosha community!!

   1. Yes it sounds like they used this incident just to get rid of him.

   2. No one knows what officers go through mentally, they see the absolute worst dregs in our community. Give them some dam grace already. Sounds political per usual in Kenosha…time for him to hang it up and live his life.

      1. Police aren’t above the law. Furthermore, they should be treated how they treat most people.. guilty until proven innocent.

      2. Looool. Who cares. Defund the whole department.

11. This is a character assassination by some spineless supervisors with thin skin. Torres has cared for this city and this community his whole life. Torres has built a life brick by brick, working his ass off. He would be the first to risk his safety for others, and would do it over and over selflessly. If anyone was listening to the radio during the riots, this is the man that stopped the libs from breaking into the dinosaur museum to burn it. Remember the riot bus minivan full of gas? Yes, this was one of the people front and center that stopped that from making its way downtown (others too). Countless other acts, that most people will never know about. A man who still embraces inner city neighborhoods who still have generational family longevity trying to keep their blocks nice, and enjoy their neighborhood and churches.

    Taking actions and perceptions out of context is not what is this is. This is more about supervision taking things out of context, and after receiving clarity, still twisting the issue where they is no “There there”.

    Torres, thank you for your service and all you have done for Kenosha all of these years. You have made a positive impact, and anyone who knows you knows that. Hold your head high.

       1. Yea, It takes one hell of a police officer to kill a guys who was armed with an empty five gallon plastic bucket.

          1. You forgot to add who had a warrant, ran and had a high speed chase that endangered innocent people. There I fixed it for you.

             1. No you didn’t. All those things are true. However, they do not justify the use of deadly force. Face it, the object of your worship is a coward who panicked when this guy brandished the empty five gallon plastic bucket.

                Torres has always been quick to use unjustified force. He was brutal to the point of being sadistic. It was his badge that kept him from being a mere common thug.

                1. Joel? I’m sure you have been in alot of positions to judge and know how to react in a same situation, but hey your prolly some kind of bad ass. Or dumb ass

          2. Exactly

    2. Give me a break. He should have been fired after both shootings.

12. Let’s have him wear a uniform and send him out to patrol. Let’s see how many days he lasts without abusing his lawful authority in one way or another. He has spent too many years acting untouchable out there; he feels he is above the law. Somehow, he has gotten away with too many shady incidents since he joined the PD.

    1. It’s called patience. Ever heard of it?

15. Kevin, the 1st dog died. They purchased a second dog when he was a Detective. That dog died too?

    1. That dog died too. Then he trained his own personal dog on overtime at a trainer not approved by the department. Then had to have that dog trained at an approved place. He never brought that dog to work with him. That dog didn’t do nothing but allowed him to stay a k9 handler and only work 7 hours a day.

20. Never give a midget a gun.
    There is a reason you had to be over 6’ (and preferably Irish) when my great grandfather was a Chicago cop and 6’4” when grandfather was a cop.
    First you could bust heads.
    Second, you didn’t have short dick midget rage.
    Also, message for all you roid rage under 5’ 10” cops; growing sideways with slow ass gym muscle doesn’t make you any taller.
    For the rest of Kenosha’s finest, thank you for your service.

22. Torres is not only a great detective but an amazing person. I think the issue is he is from the days when people weren’t so sensitive and sue happy and parents actually disciplined their children instead of calling and having the police do it and making them out to be the “bad guys”. He earned respect from people in the community. He has been in some situations and didn’t always make the right decision but it was the decision that felt right at the time. Everything he did was to keep his community safe. He didn’t make decisions with ill intent. Imagine if Aaron had a weapon and it wasn’t just a bucket and Torres in that split second chose not to shoot. He could have died and so could have other citizens while he was on the loose. And then it would be “He should have shot him. He could have prevented this.” There are bad cops out there. Cops that do think they are above the law and intentionally make decisions that don’t have the community’s best interest in mind. KPD and KSD are always hiring. Clearly many of you think you can do a better job so let’s see it. Instead of sitting behind your keyboard bitching, lets see you do better and be a part of the change Kenosha needs.
