And for the unaware, he likely resigned so he couldn’t be forced to aid in his own prosecution. Basically, a police department can force an officer to testify against themselves as long as they want to remain a cop. The department basically goes “we’re making your testimony a condition of your ongoing employment. So testify or be fired.” As long as he remains a cop, he doesn’t have a 5th amendment right to remain silent.
By quitting, he’s able to clam up and not aid in any investigation. And since he was given the option to resign instead of being fired, he can simply wait for it to blow over then get the same job in the next city over.
The fact that there’s an investigation to be done is why I fucking hate cops. What investigation? He was literally caught on his own camera trying to murder an innocent person. An acorn hit the car? Fuck kind of excuse is that? I would get the death penalty if I killed someone with that pitiful excuse. People who are given a position of authority over others should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. I’ll never trust a cop for as long as I live because of this shit.
That’s why there’s an “investigation.” Because The SCOTUS was lied to, unintentionally by anyone alive at the time, in 1982 during Harlow V Fitzgerald.
Acorn falls on car. ‘Shots fired! I’m hit!’ Shots were fired. By him. At car. Man was in back seat. He not police now.
I thought for a second there were consequences for his actions, but no there weren’t. He resigned and hasn’t been charged yet.

And this… this sentiment… ongoing and supported by their own actions as it is, is how they fall.
We have no respect for them and the institutions they uphold. They are gangs. We are an occupied country.
We should give them as much respect as they give us. None. They deserve nothing but contempt and misfortune.

But why male models?
Are you serious? I just told you that!
Well I know what movie I’m rewatching this week
He very likely mistaked (again…) one of the ejected casings hitting him for getting hit
