OUTRAGEOUS.
I hope the next victim sues the city and all complicit for enough for all their relatives to live fat for decades.
And normally, I hate the thought of anyone suing in such a situation.
I fully support enforcement of just laws, and would back an officer of the law 100% if questioned about actions in the line of duty required to do so. But, this man does not represent justice, whether he has a badge or not. He should not.
The city nearest me, Greensboro, NC, has a few officers like this. One, Det. James Hinson, seems to get not just protection, but promotion, just like this Det. Freeman in Chattanooga. I’ve not seen a photo of Det. Freeman, but I do wonder if he’s benefitting from the same wrongheaded selective hiring and firing policies that have benefitted Det. Hinson so mightily. Greensboro fired its Chief Of Police, rather than discipline this particular individual.
