I can’t imagine what you are seeing as you watch that cop’s freak out on that video, but he resigned almost instantly because of what was revealed about him and his hysteria.

He not only saw what I saw, but so did his boss.

I’m just curious to know if this is why he was with the Highway Patrol for such a short time.

“As the video shows, he was out of control during the incident,” Conley said, “I had 12 officers on the scene and 11 of them performed according to their training.”

What I saw was that despite a screaming, hostile crowd and an uninvolved trespasser who made a threatening gesture suggestive of pulling a weapon from his belt from behind the officer, the officer maintained an exceptional level of self-control. It's amazing to me that given the intensity of the situation, the actions of the law-breaking crowd and high emotions no one was injured and the arrest was made without harm to the lawbreaker.

As for the police chief, he should be ashamed to call himself a cop. In an attempt to assuage the professional racists that arrived soon after the incident, the chief demonstrated to a national audience that he is not only afraid to do his job to "serve and protect" the law-abiding citizens of his community, but that he also -- as well he should -- lost the respect of the police force that he leads. The chief -- not the officer -- should resign as a result of his lack of professionalism ... from my perspective, the chief has irreparably disgraced himself.
