Given his (frankly impressive, if horrifying) record of abusing the public hard enough to get written up, it wouldnā€™t entirely surprise me if heā€™s a bit of an asshole at the station as well. Even if cops have a commitment to their collective impunity, that doesnā€™t mean they have any interest in having to work with total dickheads.

I wanted this to be a win, but the story is just another dissapointment. 21 cases of misconduct? What other profession can one keep their job after just 2 or 3 instances? Freaking McDonaldā€™s would have fired his ass a long time ago.

Yeah I guess thereā€™s that. I think (and hope) Seattle will be different though.

ā€œGetting canned is never their fault, always someone elseā€™s.ā€

Like the LAPD cop that literally went out in a blaze of glory in the mountain cabin.
