They fired the piece of shit, but the management of these places had damn better start laying down the law to employees that if they go rogue they will get their asses fired.
No one can claim to be surprised by this, nor at any future similar stories.
A knee jerk anti-cop environment now exists, brought to you by those who claim to "care".

Many people just need to have anti someone feelings and beliefs. Some are content with a hatred or negative attitude towards people with opposing ideology, religion or race. They need scapegoats. I almost feels like an instinctive trait in humans. For young people in their teenage and early 20's it seems to target authority figures, i.e., cops. The anti cop sentiment of late simply exasperates the situation.
