Charges for Hales Corners Man Who Said He Was 'Glad Cops Getting Killed'

RACINE -- Police arrested a 52-year-old Hales Corners man after he berated police officers during a traffic stop, saying he was "glad all that cops are being killed" and that "all cops should die.

Scott Goral faces charges of threat to a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct and faces more than six years imprisonment if he is convicted.

According to his criminal complaint, Racine County Sheriff's deputies were conducting a speed control operation on I-94 near County Highway C on Saturday just before 1 p.m. when they observed an orange convertible Jaguar going 87 miles per hour and passing other motorists on the right shoulder of the freeway.

Police say the vehicle, driven by Goral, exited at the Highway K ramp after deputies initiated a traffic stop procedure.

According to the complaint, Goral pulled his vehicle into the parking lot of the Pilot Gas Station.

As officers approached Goral's car, he got out with his hands up. Surrounded by numerous gas station customers including a family with young children, Goral reportedly began to berate the officers, using expletives to describe the on-duty officers, his complaint said.

According to the complaint, Goral challenged officers to a fight prior to being taken into custody. Goral then said he was "glad that cops are being killed," and also said "all cops should die" as he was on his way to the station.

The complaint said Goral was banging his head on various parts of the squad car during transport.

In addition to criminal charges he now faces, officers cited Goral for speeding, deviating from the designated lane of traffic, altering his vehicle registratoin plate, operating his vehicle after suspension, displaying a false vehicle plate, displaying unauthorized vehicle registration and non-registration of auto.

He is currently being held in the Racine County Jail on a $500 cash bond.
His preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 18.
