"He may have overreacted to some extent but I think the notion that he was solely at fault is crazy."
He is a trained officer responsible for his actions. AS THE PROFESSIONAL STATED. He broke the rules. His actions were INDEFENSIBLE. I trust the chief in this regard. We should trust the police for the most part until they behave like little napoleon.
"He was there reacting to a difficult situation. Other people were at way more fault and actually committing criminal acts and yet we can't even point that out without people getting all uppity about it."
The other officers where in the same situation 11 of them, ELEVEN, 10+1 etc.. none of them reacted this way. No one has a problem with the fact that the 10 others did their jobs like professionals. It is the one idiot that is the problem. The THUG ASSHOLE 14 year old girl in the bikini you referred to was not charged with a crime. Those who actually committed criminal acts did not make the moronic little man act OUTSIDE THE BOUNDS OF HIS TRAINING AS STATED BY A PROFESSIONAL WHO HASA BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HIS OWN PROCEDURES THAN YOU OR ME OR ANYONE ELSE HERE. THE EXPERT SAID HE ACTED OUT OF BOUNDS SEVERELY IN AN INDEFENSIBLE MANNER.
"The reason he has had to resign is because of the one sided biased overreaction by certain people, not because what he did warrants it."
You are telling a bold face lie. The reason was stated by the chief of police that after a thorough internal investigation he was found wanted. YOU can not accept that in this case because the result goes against what you want. P-E-R-I-O-D. What you are stating as a fact is what YOU want to be a fact. You are being dishonest.
"I'd rather support the police when they are upholding law and order than some selfish disrespectful brat who thinks they are somehow entitled to just take things that aren't theirs."
We all support police that follow the rules of the training they receive. ACCORDING TO THE PROFESSIONALS this ONE OFFICER out of the 12 did not do that. WHAT HE DID WAS INDEFENSIBLE according to an expert. Please go back to referring to the 14 year old girl as a THUG/SCUM/ASSHOLE like previously. It is far more entertaining.
"Apparently though, you are a racist if you don't look at a situation and immediately make a judgement that the black people can't possibly have done anything wrong."
Do you realize that you and violas and Marvin are the only ones for the first 4 pages who brought the racial element into this? YOU did this? YOU? You seem to really have an issue with race more so than most here. No one referred to anyone on the copse as racist except you. People are upset that a police officer over-reacted. Race was brought into this by you and violas and Shilbert.
