So you remain eligible to be a cop with something like that on your record? Well, that explains a lot actually.

He should have lost his fucking job, doubly so if he had a history of domestic violence…

This shit isn’t rocket surgery…

When I read the story the other day I thought “I get he has to have the car towed”…though you could argue he could have just followed her home. I also understood if she were super pissed (which I bet she was) she would say “I’ll walk asshole”.

But then his behavior post that…brings it to a new level of racist and asshole. Being demoted should be the LEAST of his punishments.

Am I the only one who thinks we’ve passed the tipping point of correlation between racist cops and cops with shaven heads?

Forcing somebody who is unprepared to walk in that kind of cold should be charged with assault of some kind. As a privileged white person I’ve been pulled over for (very) expired tags, and got a small ticket and was told to drive on my merry way.

No. I really don’t think that shaving your head will cause you to become a racist cop.

He should be “reassigned” to the unemployment office.

And how did he not get prison time for the previous offenses?

Do “Stand your ground” laws apply against cops? Sometimes it seems as if they should.

Garbage people do garbage-ass things especially when they know they can get away with it.

One way or another, racism and misogyny always travel together.

Yep, I’ve been a passenger in a vehicle when it was pulled over for expired plates. Driver got a ticket, and we were allowed to drive home.

Guess what everyone’s skin tone looked like.

Mostly. I mean, Femen exist.

Same! I’ve been pulled over with expired tags and my middle-aged white guy ass didn’t even get a ticket, I was just given a warning and told to get it taken care of soon.
