Another reason to HATE unions! So the PTSD caused him to do it? He's a loose cannon but should be given his job back? Are you fing' serious?

The cop should be in prison!

I’m willing to wager a blood test would point to ROID.

Even if you buy their lame excuse, if you have PTSD that badly you can't be a cop. Cops need to be the calm level headed guys. That is why you trust them with powers not given to the normal citizenry. Rambo should not be a cop. People with anger issues should not be cops. People who get off having power over others should not be cops.

“Most people that have a bad day on their job can go home, put their legs up and relax,” Adams said. “We can go home from our jobs in a body bag or with a serious physical injury from the hospital.”

It could happen. But, if you're not up for it, GET A DIFFERENT JOB.

It’s about time.

Whoever should have spotted an armed thug with PTSD and didn’t for eight years should be fired as well. PTSD may be a reason but it is not an excuse. If Harless wants to plead PTSD he’s essentially stating that he is not fit for the demanding role of a police officer. If he’s saying he should get his job back he’s stating that he does not have PTSD. He and his lawyer need to decide which “ truth” is true.

Not being a Doctor, by any chance does PTSD, stand for Pistolwip The Stupid Driver(s), just asking. :-) end of sarc>

Don’t you mean, Another reason to HATE cops?

If I as a mere serf had threatened to murder someone during a profanity laced tirade, would I be walking around free or would I be up on felony charges?

He got PTSD from one incident? BS, he was coached on the symptoms and diagnosed by union quacks.

He should be in jail, as those who allowed him to be on the street when this happened.

I agree that the cop needs to do time. The PTSD excuse is no different than the ones the perps always use "I was on drugs"; "I was abused as a kid", etc. Just shows that the cop is cut from the same cloth as other perps.

The support he has received form fellow officers shows that Canton is not a safe place in which to be a citizen.

Harless was placed on medical leave and other officers donated their sick days to him when his paid sick-leave time ran out.

Bad cops are only a tiny fraction of any force, and their actions shouldn't impugn the other officers who aren't caught doing anything wrong.

[mkjessup]

Harless plans to appeal the decision

Show that jackbooted ass his own video with him as the star in a 1 hour loop, over and over and over, and then let him make his 'defense' in said appeal.

ANY cop threatening to murder a law abiding citizen should not only be fired outright, but serving mandatory prison time.

I think the angle here is going to be lifetime disability pay.....

So much for the "one bad apple" theory....

We see again the power of viral video. Free information exchange makes it easy to put a spotlight on bad actors.

I’m not even going to comment what I think of this POS. I’m glad I don’t live in Canton.

[BuffaloJack]

If he had PTSD then why did they keep him on active police duty instead of putting him wher he could do no harm.
It’s an excuse. A lame one at best.
