You can read that post by clicking  here . Our investigation into Crowder has produced records indicating that he has been involved in multiple use of force incidents. We found a previous undisclosed incident from 2011 in which Crowder was suspended for three days for use of force violations and ordered to go to counseling and take a course on interpersonal communications. This is the video of that incident. We also obtained a copy of a Last Chance Agreement that Crowder was forced to sign after the incident last year.
