  Police are only here to protect the interests of the wealthy, so they'll find that this guy didn't actually do anything wrong.
context: I saw a video about this on YouTube last night. It's super fucked up. When the cop calls 911, he lies to the dispatcher, saying the victim is armed and approaching him. The body cam footage of the responding officers is just as fucked up. Some didn't give a shit cause the victim is a 1st Amendment auditor and were gonna let it pass regardless of the victim's video. The only one with an iota of integrity still struggled with it. She would have probably let it go, too, but knew that the victim's video showed felony assault and it was gonna fuck all of them if they didn't arrest the cop. At the end, the cop gives this half-assed apology to the guy he assaulted, not apologizing for the assault itself but for upsetting his 5-year-old daughter in the process. He even tries to bribe the victim with $80 in the hopes he wouldn't post the video to YouTube. Next week, the DA takes the case before a grand jury to decide if there will be an indictment. >

  This was fucked up too. He slipped the money in. The guy didn't agree or anything. My bet is the cop knew what he was doing and his lawyer will now try and bring this up in an attempt to discredit the whole thing if it goes to prosecution. >
  
  Honestly after all that 80 dollars is more insulting then anything. >
  
  Cops leech so much more many than that. Pony up piggy. >
  
  Does anybody know what “decommissioned“ means? Did they take away his license to be a cop? Is he suspended/fired? >
  
  They take him apart and use his parts as replacements when other cops begin to break down. >
  
  Like Robocop? >
  
  No that's fiction >
  
  Excuse me, Peter Weller is indeed a real person. >
  
  I’d buy parts off of him for a dollar >
  
  He’s worth less than $80. >
  
  The way it works is that he gets canned in Nashville and then shows up as a cop in West Bumblescum Tennessee. And the cycle repeats itself. >
  
  Williamson county, he's a blue lives hero now >
  
  Maybe pasco county or my favourite Nye, definitely going to nye >
  
  They took away his gun, his badge, and his mustache. >
  
  Noooo, not the mustache! Now how am I going to hit on little girls!? >
  
  The comments all over FB trying to justify this shit are insane. >
  
  I have a crazy idea: How about arrest the cop and charge him with assault for, you know, assaulting someone? >
  
  Sorry, best we can do is a transfer to another county, a pay raise, a month on paid leave, and a giant payout for the psychological distress it caused this poor officer. >
  
  "He shot at me with a 50 cal. machine gun and sprinkled radioactive waste all over the neighbourhood".  
  ...  
  "Okay none of that was true" >
  
  “Turns out I’m just a scared little bitch” >
  
  not to mention traumatizing his own kids. jfc. >
  
  Too bad him and seven of his cop pals didnt just have consensual sex with the guy. Apparently thats the only thing they will fire cops for these days >
  
  “Do you understand how hard it is for me to admit I’m wrong?” Wtf? >
  
  If I assaulted a homeless on a public street, I will get put into prison. Why is a police detective not behind bars? >
  
  Oh, so you don’t own an art gallery? >
  
  The business owning class has special rights too >
  
  To the majority of police officers:  Have you ever tried not being a bastard???? >
  
  Discount Ron Swanson is a disgrace to mustaches. >
  
  I bet he has like 30 crosses on the entry way wall of his house and says shit like it’s pronounced Christmas not xmas. >
  
  Why does he look like a cheap knockoff of Ron Swanson? >
  
  What an asshole. Of course he's a cop.
