January 21, 201610 yr If your takeaway from this is that it was politics that cost him his job, then I should not have replied; it won't happen again. I asked you a question. I guess it's one you don't know the answer to. No sense in replying if that's the case.
January 21, 201610 yr I'm not familiar with the Officer's background. What has he done that he's being labeled a bad cop? He's been charged with perjury for lying about the encounter with Bland. According to the Texas State Police he violated courtesy protocols during the stop and needlessly escalated the situation and then lied about it. It paints him a the "stereotypical" cop on a power trip. Other than that I haven't read anything else about him. He had only been on the job about a year.
