A teenager "claimed" that he saw him call his friends the n-word? Well that seals it then!
what seals it is the video of the Goon Gorilla assaulting a teenage girl...
And yet none of you Leftists, or even Sheriff Todd himself, have specified what he did wrong. It's going to be hard to explain in the lawsuit why he was actually terminated.
HERE is why he was fired man.
It's a new era. It's CHEAPER to throw a street cop squarely under the bus....rather than deal with protests and 24/7 media smearing.
This deputy will sue. He'll win 250K or so. He'll pay off his home and have no mortgage. And...some other agency in SC will hire him in 3 years.
But EVERY cop must understand...if the Twitterverse doesn't like what you did....legal or otherwise....you're toast.
Mayors now have a choice.
Fire a street cop that the left is mad at...and pay him for the lawsuit.
OR....
Stand by him....and and risk riots, burned cities, and millions in overtime and workers comp for manpower to deal with the riots.
Mayors, chiefs and sheriffs are making their choice.
Now....all line level officers have one too. Say **** it and avoid confrontation at all costs...or....be the guy on CNN getting fired and having the world see him as Public Enemy #1.
Cops are slowly making their choice. And violent crime is trickling up. 5 years from now....it's gonna be mid 80s type crime chaos.
