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?
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.
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.
Worth revisiting, especially now:

If you didn’t see it before, pay attention all the way to the end.
In the space of a half-hour news broadcast, I think I saw the video 4-5 times. That was totally uncalled for. The media is pressing the police as bad guys .. and some of them will break from the stress of that type of job.
Whatever emotional state he might have been in, his actions on that video appeared to be practiced and correct. He defused an imminent very bad situation without killing or injuring anyone. It does not appear that he pointed the gun at anyone. He unholstered it and held it down. He showed it to the two guys who were advancing rapidly toward him. They took the hint and retreated. He reholstered then the gun. It would seem that the MSM including Fox News are trying to say that he was obliged to allow the two guys advancing on him to kill him if that was their intent. The excuses being made “for” his actions are accusations just as much as the gasping indignation that he “pointed his gun at two unarmed teenagers.” His “friends” are saying he is excused because he was out of his mind for the moment. That is not indicated by the video at all.
