A San Antonio police officer was suspended for 10 days in December after he made "racially insensitive and derogatory" jokes while responding to an assault between a woman and man, the latter of whom was issued a ticket for a non-existent crime because the officer wanted to "f--- him over so he [didn't] talk s--t or call and complain."

Ofc. Hector Gallardo was served a contemplated suspension on Oct. 4, 2016, which he served from Dec. 6 to 15 without pay. He is still employed with the department.

According to his agreed suspension file, Gallardo responded to an assault call in the 7900 block of Pipers Creek on July 17, where he met a man and a woman who had been dating for about six months.

"During Officer Gallardo's investigation of the incident, the male offered to show Officer Gallardo a video claiming there was proof that he was assaulted by the female, but Gallardo did not view the evidence," according to the suspension file.

The man reportedly had a video on his phone that would have been considered evidence in the case, and Gallardo did not have photographs taken of the man's face for evidence.

He then issued the man a citation for a non-existent crime, "fighting." He also issued a citation for a misdemeanor "that did not occur within his presence or view."

"I figured we'd f--- him over so he doesn't talk s--- or call and complain on us," Gallardo told another officer at the scene, according to body camera footage.

Gallardo also made "racially insensitive and derogatory statements" about the people involved in the alleged assault, bringing "discredit to himself and the department," according to the suspension.

"What's this girl's name? Laquanda?" he reportedly asked another officer.

Gallardo also failed to submit a report of the incident before he signed off duty.
