The incident took place last Thursday, June 4th, around 1:30 p.m. Dubiel and another Woodlynne police officer showed up on a small residential block where some teens were sitting on a porch. There was reportedly a call about people smoking marijuana in the area.


According to 6 ABC, Dubiel and the other cop began questioning the teens, the teens said they didn’t know anything about it, and after one of the teens said he was going to call his guardian, Dubiel just casually pulls out a can of pepper spray and sprays the teen with it. One of the teen’s friends was hit as well.

A bystander recorded the following video that day. Please note that this video graphically depicts the cop pepper spraying the teen:

On Wednesday, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office announced that Dubiel has been charged with two counts of simple assault, simple assault being one of the most minor offenses that a person can be charged with.

“Our Special Prosecutions Unit received the Internal Affairs complaint against Dubiel on June 5 and immediately began collecting all of the evidence to conduct a thorough and impartial review of the complaint,” said Camden County prosecutor Jill Mayer in a statement. “After careful review, it was clear Dubiel’s actions are not consistent with the State of New Jersey use-of-force policy.”

The Woodlynne Police Department has suspended Dubiel with the intent to dismiss him. This is the ninth — yes, ninth — police department that Dubiel has worked at. He’s 31 years old.

1. 9 Departments at 31 Years Old?

But, there's no systemic problem in law enforcement organizations.
Yeah, right.

4. police departments can't just hire anyone off the street. They hire them out of academies..

So I assume that's why he was able to get job after job. limited pool of candidates

6. That pool must be infested with maggots

11. Even with that record this seems...indulgent.

Perhaps his can was almost empty and he wanted to use it up before finishing for the day?



Seriously, I don't know how he's been getting hired lately, but police departments and rent-a-cops can't hide the past records of criminals like this any more. This may be the last strike for him.

12. You're Serious?

In ANY line of work, a person constantly changing jobs is a sign of, either:
1. Happy feet. No company wants to hire someone who may just bolt when they get bored. Especially when it's this egregious. Assuming 18 months in the academy, this is 9 jobs in 120 months. That's under 13.5 months per gig.
2. That person is regularly dismissed for bad behaviors, incompetence, or both.
Big companies hire people out of college. Academy or college? Not a huge difference.
So, if this type of job history is a problem for companies, it should be for police departments.

13. true. the guy had no business being rehired. I'm just explaining why police depts hire bad apples

they can't just post on a job website. They hire already trained by police academies.

they definitely should not have kept hiring this guy but I guess the limited pool contributes to the problem

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Then They Should Cut Staff By One

Leave it unfilled until someone graduates.

[leftieNanner]

5. Which is why we need a national registry

of bad cops.

NINE??? That's astounding. Don't they do background checks on them before they hire them? And when he filled out the application, didn't they notice all those other jobs where he bombed out??

Stunning.

10. THIS !!!

2. 9th department?

Ain't no way this guy does not have a history of excessive use of force complaints.

[MagickMuffin]

3. 9th enforcer department and just 31 years old

The Woodlynne Police Department has suspended Dubiel with the intent to dismiss him. This is the ninth — yes, ninth — police department that Dubiel has worked at. He’s 31 years old.

He needs to be refused employment because he's one bad apple.

7. Is Hitler still hiring ?

He would fit right in nicely over there with the jackbooted brown shirt team.

9. Tap that police department for 20 to 30 million dollars the insurance money will pay
