I’m not clicking TWELVE links in the hopes of finding a written article covering this topic.
Also, that title makes me believe the video has that ai voiceover lady from snap/tiktok/etc who will narrate this in an all too cheerful tone.
Heres a current article about the above;

This is what he did, which OP somehow wasent able to add to his dozen links:
Scott allegedly attacked a 43-year-old man, knocking his cellphone from his hands and striking him with a closed fist, causing bruising and swelling, in 2024 after the man was filming at the police station, where he had gone to file a complaint, according to court records.
Scott was placed on unpaid leave by Robbins Mayor Darren Bryant immediately following the July 1 encounter, according to a village statement from spokesperson Sean Howard. That same day, Bryant contacted the Cook County sheriff’s office to request an investigation, officials said.
Choosing not to wait for the outcome of an investigation by the sheriff’s public integrity unit, Bryant later moved to fire Scott. But before the mayor could fire him, Scott resigned.
The brutal cop pled guild to reduced assualt charges and had his policing cert for Illinois pulled, and was given 2 years of probation and anger management classes.
Banned
should be much more than “banned.”
