He did everything right, I talked to our sherrif (whom I support with tithes and offerings) to hire him and he agreed!!
But I just don't see any firing offense here, and no reason to force his resignation. If I were his Chief, I'd give him a two-week suspension without pay, during which he must take a refresher course on crowd control, and when to draw his weapon. And yeah, the black girl just might deserve a check from the city.
But nope, no firing offenses here.
The feral youth don’t want police interference in their fights and other crimes. Next time they fight, simply park within visual range and only get out if innocent people become involved. Otherwise observe and write up a report and move on.
Interesting. Cops are not superhuman. It would have been to his benefit had he been sent home for the rest of the day, but I don’t know the policy/procedure after dealing with very stressful events.
Smart move by resigning. It stops the DOJ from taking over, it protects his former partners, it stops Sharpton and the race baiters, and it doesn’t blemish his record so he can seek employment elsewhere.
Also kills the media vultures. A master stroke.
I supported him until he quit. If he is not willing to defend himself why should anybody else?
When he was outnumbered and the two balack youths ran up behind him and he couldn’t see their hands, he had every right to until stet his pistol IMHO. Never charge a cop.
“Interesting. Cops are not superhuman. It would have been to his benefit had he been sent home for the rest of the day, but I don’t know the policy/procedure after dealing with very stressful events.”
My understanding, based on speaking to a few officers I know, is that it is a department-by-department decision (and, in practice, often a supervisor-by-supervisor one), which is often dependent on staffing needs. Work for a big department, with plenty of officers to step up and take your place? You might get sent home for the day after a few calls like that (or work a desk for the rest of your shift). In a smaller department, maybe not.
The other issue is that many officers (like this one) don’t want to go home even after a couple of rough calls.
Just shows us all pure ignorance....They must be proud.....Most of their lives are trashed may as well trash some one elses.....repulsive
Dude had the worst day ever.
Thank you for the info.
You can say that again.
Nice personal anecdote, but his chief says differently, and he resigned without any fight, and he has even apologized for being so hysterical.
Mark Furhman says that he did everything wrong, including getting himself in a situation where he couldn’t help the other officers.
Mark Furhman can’t understand the cops actions.

He's an entrepreneur and does quite well with it ... he probably decided after that crappy day that he'd had enough and didn't need to put up with the crap of being a cop anymore.
Has anyone considered that the agitators in the media are responsible for thie? After Ferguson and Baltimore, young blacks have heard a loud and clear message - defy the police...talk back to them and dont obey their commands....and one guy came very close to physically challenging him.
Your sheriff agreed to hire him? Bravo, just because he went to the edge doesn’t mean he should be exiled to Siberia
Bingo
Your minister is the head of the County Sheriff’s department?
