FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Some might call Karl Hirsch a hero.
A Fort Lauderdale cop, Hirsch used his patrol cruiser to help stop a moving car that had two little girls in the backseat and no driver. But instead of praise, Hirsch got a 20-hour unpaid suspension.
The Jan. 26 incident caused no injuries, but triggered an Internal Affairs investigation ordered by Police Chief Patrick Lynn. On May 24, Internal Affairs investigators notified Hirsch he was being investigated for potentially violating department policy by “carelessly, negligently or intentionally causing waste, loss or damage to any city property.”
In the process of stopping the runaway car, Hirsch caused nearly $10,000 in damage to his own squad car.

maybe he should have left them in the car like the cops in the story yesterday

not
Internal Affairs investigators need to be investigated for moronic behavior. Let’s try a 1st grade reading test for a start.

People please read the story! Not the fake headline.
The headline is a lie. Someone else stopped the car and then this deputy came along an rear ended it. His actions could have actually hurt the children. This was also his 3rd preventable accident within the year.
Just another Cheap Shot at the Best Gov in the country by a Trump cultist .
Gov are now supposed to micromanage local police dept matters.
RE: They obviously need a new “Chief”
From the pool of chief applicants....
It seems that it is freeper’s who need to learn to read. It is obvious that not one of them... Including you, actually read the story. The sensationalist headline turns reality on its head.
Incompetent deputy got what he deserved.
I think the officer might soon be the new chief (at least in a normal world).
Don't forget to combine "defunding the police" with appropriate punishments:
Murder: hanging.
Rape: hanging.
Grand Theft Auto (modern horse thievery): hanging.
Etc.
Wait a minute … wasn’t the other police vehicle used to physically stop the moving car because that car HAD NO DRIVER?
This guy Hirsch sounds like a moron (at best).
Nothing can get done and even trying costs too damn much (think light rail or replacing the Twin Towers).
The bureaucracy becomes an organism that lives only to protect itself (think Deep State).
Cops are treated like President Trump. He’s always wrong and everything is his fault. Friggin’ hippies are still as useless as they were back in the 60s.
He’s getting the Harry Callahan treatment.
The key bit of the story
“A Broward Sheriff’s deputy driving an unmarked unit following behind maneuvered his F-150 truck in front of the car to bring it to a stop.
In his report, Hirsch said he was worried the car might roll backward or the third suspect might jump behind the wheel and take off. He attempted to maneuver his squad car behind the Infiniti to barricade it in place. But as he hit the grass he lost control of his cruiser and ran into the Infiniti, causing $9,721 in damage to his vehicle.”
So he attempted to maneuver his car behind an already stationary vehicle and crashed into it instead.
You READ the article?
Isn't that against the rules?
🤡
From Yahoo, so I expect bias. It’s in Florida, so I expect the article to hype the story. It’s about a cop, so I expect the article to be written from the point of view that the cop is at fault.
DING, DING, DING !!!
WE HAVE A WINNER! !!!
My Uncle has got to be spinning in His Grave...
If He were still alive He could spend a few weeks going around the Country
Bitc}{$LAPPING these idiots that are labeled Police Officers.
Insanity strikes again. Who are these dummkopf’s in charge and why are they not fired for their sheer stupidity?
No. Local citizens should fire incompetence. Unions have no place in a free society.
