The police officers are just the prawns in this.

Noble and correct as that may be, it does not sell news print or air time.....and therein lies the problem.

With a brand new a tent city in the jail yard, one would hope.

Looks like the police officer has resigned.

Can't imagine what it's like to be a cop these days. Thanks to all of you LEOs on the forum that do it.

I worry if this cop crucifixion continues at this pace, then we might see just how thin the blue line really is...

Sacrificial scapegoat

That is bad news.

Another politically motivated move thanks to the media and spineless department. He should have stuck it out if he had a choice. I've pulled for less even with my Sheriff standing with me. I'm afraid this will only cause LEOs to become hesitant with any use of force and will ultimately cause more brothers being killed. LEOs will fear losing their job, media ruining their reputation, going to prison, putting your family's life and safety in danger when some idiot on social media releases your home address. God help you if you're white and shoot a African American, the media loves those stories justified or not. We will still continue to serve and protect the very people who hate us, thank you to those who support us even though it's not the "in" thing to do.

Sorry for the rant.

Can't blame you for the frustration. I appreciate those of you who stick with, and can't blame those who quit.

Not a job I would want but very thankful there are those who feel the calling.

Sadly his resignation may have been the safest thing for himself and his fellow officers. By resigning and taking himself off the force the odds of an assassination attempt on him go way down, and the risk of such an attempt getting a friend in the same department goes down even more. To a lesser extent the risk of a retaliatory shooting of a Texas LEO goes down as well. So keep in mind this officer may have resigned for his own safety and that of his fellow officers.
