Do you agree he should have been fired? And how did the police station know about the stop? I don't think they ever explained that

Pretty dumb for him to say but he sounds like he's being sarcastic and I thought it was pretty funny

If there was a complaint right after it happened I'd understand, but a year later? No that's fucking stupid.

I kind of feel like this is a legit case for suspension with no pay like the cops who actually shoot people get. But with the current climate and sentiment toward police he deserved to get fired. He is hurting the trust police officers need to win back.

It was a dumbass thing to get caught saying and for PR issues he's almost certainly going to get fired.

Having said that, I don't think he was saying it maliciously, I think he was saying what he thought he needed to say to get her to be compliant.

how is it sensitive if i didn't find his joke all that funny? Just cause i didn't find it funny doesn't mean i hate cops or something

Yeah he should be fired for that

Its ok to make jokes but in a professional situation where he is in uniform and performing a traffic stop, he should have known that was unprofessional and not appropriate

I think this is a case where just letting him know he's been a dumbass is probably all that was needed, but I don't entirely disagree with firing him because it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

I just wish the rest of the world realized something as the obvious joke it is and didn't immediately jump to "lynch him!"

Fired? I don't know. He may have been being funny, but that's not his job. At the very least, a reprimand and a further investigation. There isn't really a grey area and sarcasm when it comes to dealing with law and people's lives.

Probably should have just been issued a warning or suspension, but we live in a crazy age where you can't risk that. Not with BLM terrorists going around shooting cops and in a time where angry mobs rule major cities.

That is really weird. Maybe the complaint was filed and it took time to respond, though.
