JUST A LITTLE STORY ABOUT A KENTUCKY STATE TROOPER SENTENCED TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON. #GOVERNMENT #CAMERA #COPS

This is Hayden Kilbourne. He's a Kentucky State Trooper. My oh my he's trying to live up to that last name. We're gonna tell a little story about him today. Well he was involved in a four-county chase involving Robert Kidd in a stolen vehicle. Well looky here. Here's Hayden Kilbourne beating the holy hell out of Robert Kidd with a metal baton and his partner sitting here holding a taser on Kidd when he should have been using it on Kilbourne. So you're trying to be empathetic that you're sacrificing your officer's safety. Look at the mirror and ask yourself can I kill a kid? Can I shoot a grandma? Can I shoot a mom? Can I shoot a dad? Can I shoot a brother? Why is this all hard? Because you have to live with it. You're in the wrong profession my friend if you can't live with that. How many of you made that decision? One out of seven. How many brothers do you have out here? How many sisters? They mean less to you than some a mental subject. You go home, you soul search and you figure it out and if that question hasn't been answered tomorrow I suggest you don't come back. The absolute most important thing is officer safety. The training that you're about to receive will be extremely demanding. You will be challenged both physically and mentally on a daily basis. But you will be trained well. Am I willing to make the commitment? Am I willing to make the commitment that is required to earn the title of Kentucky State Police Trooper? If you're not, you can excuse yourself now. You got what it takes. On July 28th, 2023 former state trooper Hayden Kilborn was involved in an excessive use of force incident in Carroll County. At around 10 o'clock that morning Kentucky State Police troopers were involved in a pursuit initiated by a suspect reported to be armed and dangerous driving a stolen vehicle. The pursuit traveled through four Kentucky counties and two KSP post areas involving multiple police agencies. KSP troopers located the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. A tire deflation device was used which successfully deflated the tire and eventually slowed the vehicle. The suspect exited the vehicle and fled from the troopers on foot into a wooded area. Trooper Kilborn began pursuing the suspect and making verbal threats. He then deployed his taser and the suspect fell to the ground ending the foot pursuit. Trooper Kilborn instructed the suspect to roll over and show his hands. Trooper Kilborn then delivered multiple baton strikes to the suspect's arms and upper body area. During the baton strikes the suspect was seen on body camera footage appearing to comply and show his hands to Trooper Kilborn. It was during this time that the agency determined that Trooper Kilborn's actions constituted excessive force. Five days after the incident on August 2nd, 2023 following an administrative review of this incident and acting in accordance with KRS chapter 16 Commissioner Burnett issued an intent to dismiss Mr. Kilborn. In accordance with the same statute Mr. Kilborn exercised his right to challenge the proposed termination and requested a hearing before the KSP trial board. After hearing the evidence the board issued a six-month suspension without pay. Wow that's rarity isn't it? Which concluded on February 15th, 2024. KSP launched a criminal investigation into the incident on August 4th, 2023. The case was submitted to the prosecutor's office on September 18th, 2023 leading to the assault second degree and terroristic threatening third degree. Mr. Kilborn was charged and arrested on September 19th, 2023. Now if you ask me the other troopers should have been charged for not tasing Kilborn and not putting his ass in cuffs. Since Mr. Kilborn was under a felony indictment he could not serve as a road trooper. Therefore during the criminal case and judicial process he was administratively assigned to the office of technical services and did not perform any sworn law enforcement duties while the indictment was pending. What that sounds like some He submitted his resignation on January 13th, 2026 and has not been employed by the agency since. In short this trooper violated the sacred duty of policing. And you never have To protect the victim we have blurred his identity. I'm Colonel Phillip Burnett Jr. Commissioner of Kentucky State Police. This is the numbnuts that suspended the guy for six months without pay and then brought him back to work at a desk and make money off the citizens while he was having a criminal investigation done. Wow. The way I see it this guy ought to be fired too for something like embezzlement or just freaking stealing money from the taxpayers or something misappropriation of funds. The video you're about to see is unacceptable. Former trooper Kilborn's actions were out of line and rightfully prosecuted. Troopers have a duty to uphold the law in all ways. 10-4 we're coming to a stop right now. Hey show me your hands! Show me your hands! 337 Kalisperry he's fleeing on foot in front of me he's reaching for his waistband. Show me your hands! Show me your hands now! Give me your hands now! They're right here.

This 2023 arrest cost a Kentucky state trooper his job and his freedom. He pounded on a man at the end of a police chase who'd already given up. In fact that officer got more time behind bars than the suspect he was after. Video shows the moment he crossed the line. This is Hayden Kilbourne. Court documents say Kidd suffered seven stitches to the upper lip, bruising across his face and body, and broken teeth because of the attack. In January of this year Kilbourne pleaded guilty to assault and terroristic threatening. He was sentenced to five years in prison, and agreed not to seek probation and to surrender his law enforcement credential. What is this? Did you do this? This looks like a crime. This trooper violated the sacred duty of policing. Meanwhile Kidd was sentenced to three years for the stolen car and police chase. He's set to be released from lockup later this year. Now Kidd is suing Kilbourne. That lawsuit claims that Kidd posed no threat and there was no justification for that use of force. The lawsuit is still working its way through the courts.
