The police chief, who knows more about policy and procedure, as well as the definition of "excessive force", than anyone on this thread, has enforced the protocol which has been taught to all of his officers, by firing this cop. In spite of Buc's bogus claim that the county will be sued, the firing has taken place and the officer has been properly removed from public service,
On another note, I see a pattern in this discussion. There are plenty of people who believe that the use of force is appropriate with a child. Using force on a child to bend his will might as well be called what it really is; a course in bullying. If an adult has to resort to force against a child, that adult does not know how to be a parent, or even an authority figure. I never raised my hand to my child in her entire life, and she turned out to be a father's dream come true. On the other hand, I have a distant family member (not a blood relative, thank god) who regularly beat his girl with a leather belt. She is now a prostitute.
Chiefs and sheriffs also know how much money and damage a riot costs. And these days....cops under a bus is cheaper. Much cheaper. Most wrongfully fired cops will settle for 200-300K or so. Which is about the cost of overtime pay for a couple weeks of protests and riots.
BTW....
www.thestate.com.....the "childs" lawyer now says Sheriff "didn't do enough"....says it was "too little too late". Ummm.....he was fired 48 hours after the incident. I suppose the agitators now want INSTANT FIRING of any cop they get mad at. See folks....the more inches we give.....in 5 years, anything other than immediate termination will result in riots. In 10 years....anything other than a cop being immediately fired AND arrested will result in riots. This shit is Alinsky methods. Textbook.
Do me a favor, Buc. either post a link of a deputy collecting a monetary award for wrongful termination, or stop posting this obvious misinformation.
Listen you **** wit! The settlement is still being negotiated. It will be months before the LEO has any money in his account.
I know it's difficult for LIB children to understand reality. You want 'everything NOW!. Just like you demanded from your enabling 'mommy'.
"Do I have to WAIT until three before my show comes on!?"
Pathetic little baby-boy.
Your 'type demanded officer Wilson be charged with "murder" without an investigation.
Your type wanted to string Zimmerman up before he had due process.
Does it ever end with your stupidity? The Baltimore cops are going to walk.
This cop is going to settle for a 3/4 of a million dollar settlement against the county.
The elected politician sheriff is going to take early retirement.
And once again you are going to look like the asshole loser LIB you are.
