Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party
Police Chief was right. They don't need a clown like him on the force, good riddance to him.
I'm not at all happy with the way the Chief handled the press conference. He pretty much threw his cop under the bus and dressed him down in a VERY public manner. While I do believe that the cop was overreacting to the situation that's not the way you, as the HMFIC, publicly addresses the matter. He tossed a big chunk of meat at the local jackals. His words are going to be interpreted as "the kids were right and the cop was wrong" and that's likely going to lead to kids trying to see how far they can push things and still be "right". Meanwhile, he's also likely going to have every one of his cops wondering if their next contact is going to end up with them being the center of a press conference. I guarantee that every cop in the McKinney PD is looking at their uniform right now and envisioning tire treads across the chest.
