  You can just say "fired"
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. >

  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. >

  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. >

  What an asshole. Of course he's a cop. >
  
  Police are only here to protect the interests of the wealthy, so they'll find that this guy didn't actually do anything wrong. >
  
  Good, fuck that guy. It’s so obvious the police are corrupt and think they are above the law >
  
  Take your apology and shove it straight up your undertrained ass. >
  
  That website gave me typhoid, diphtheria, and a migraine. >
  
  He looks like Rod Farva. >
  
  He should be charged with assault. Why the heck is a simple apology make this okay??? >
  
  He was charged with felony assault by the DA >
  
  Typical piece of shit cop. >
  
  How about, "Detective charged with assault". When do we get to read that headline? >
  
  
  assaulting homeless man on public street
  
  Yeah dumbass, you’re supposed to assault them on a  private street. /s
  Seems unimportant that it was a public road. >
  
  The public road thing was important because the cop claimed the homeless guy was “coming at him” and that the cop was “on his property”. 
  However, the video shows that the guy was across the street and the cop had to leave his property, cross the street, get to the guy, and then throw him to the ground. The only real defense that this cop could have relied on was “this guy was trespassing on my property”. But the video shows the dude going out of his way and essentially leaving his private property to travel to public property in order to assault the dude. >
  
  ….two cops showed up. The male cop was going to let things slide even after the video was reviewed. The second officer, a female, told the male if he did not arrest the detective, she would do it. She had called a supervisor and reported the incident was criminal and…it was recorded… >
  
  What’s wild is that even the female cop wanted to let it slide. You can hear her on the phone to her supervisor say something like, “yeah, but he’s got it on video. So if we don’t arrest him, the guys gonna go to the DA and report the incident anyway.” The only reason she was going to arrest the detective anyway is because she knew she’d get in trouble if she didnt >
  
  Yup, ….. he has it recorded….
  She wasn’t an idiot, though she and her gang need to always be recorded, just in case.. >
  
  He looks like an older version of the asshole cop from Harold & Kumar GTWC. >
  
  Holy shit he assaulted Looper Matt Gaetz >
  
  Fucker had the audacity to shave his shit eating mustache before committing the crime too. Pigs… >
  
  Who’s daughter is that in the video? >
  
  The guy getting assaulted. The family was walking home from Walmart when the little girl dropped a bag of candy. The cop came out of his house and started yelling at them for “littering” on his property. Since the dude identified himself has a cop, the homeless dad pulled out his phone to record the interaction and asked for the dudes name and badge number. That’s when the video starts and everything goes down hill >
  
  Okay so the cop is clearly in the wrong and deserves the trouble he’s in. >

  In Denver, assaulting and robbing the homeless is openly police policy. They go on regular raids. >
  
  Let's assault the cop then. We'll only get decommissioned. Doesn't sound too bad. >

  Funny - I got a 30 day ban for suggesting this after a video showed a cop shouting an instruction, then firing within less than half a second.
  American Police behave like this because of combat training - go in hard and fast and eliminate threats.
  Meanwhile, if we suggest this - we find an armed man in the street, shout for him to lie down and he doesn't comply - then we shoot.
  Basically, until people start ignoring corrupt ideas (like 'professional courtesy') and realise that Police are also subject to the same rules we are - then it's never gonna change.
  And yes, ASSAULT becomes our first response to any kind of perceived situation or threat. It's a war out there.
  Of course, this only applies to America - foreigners are always amazed at the culture over there in such a 'civilised' country.
  Amazing. >
  
  Ah shit, I mean I know it's a horrible thing to say. But cops won't know what they're doing is wrong until it happens to them. It's a learning opportunity for them, I'm not suggesting anyone harm cops, but I'm suggesting they get the very treatment they give others, they won't learn otherwise. Paperwork doesn't seem to accomplish anything. >
  
  All we're saying is to imagine the reverse situation - how about a policeman drops a piece of paper whilst busy outside your house on the street - would you think to go and attack him like this? >
  
  Nope, they just need a really big mirror to look at themselves in. >
  
  But if they watch it, they watch through their eyes - understanding how they behave because it's the way they learned to behave in a threatening environment. >

  Ha, literally just watched this a few hours ago. The other part that got me is basically all of the responding officers’ bosses are reeeeeeeallly trying to let the off duty asshole go. One supervisor pulls up, says the victim is known for filming officers and that the female officer should believe the attacker (cuz he’s a cop). The female officer tells him what actually happened, repeats phrases like “it’s on tape… that the problem, it’s all on tape”.  Her supervisor then tells her to let the attacker go anyways“. She says she really can’t because the victim will go to the DA directly with the video and she’d be in trouble. The supervisor then instructs her that if she HAS TO arrest the attacker, make sure it’s for a simple misdemeanor instead of felony assault. The female officer then uses her personal cell phone (not her radio) to contact her captain to ask again if she HAS TO arrest the attacker. Again explaining several times that the attack was unprovoked and on video. I’m not sure if he was ever arrested, the video ends with the responding officers still talking to the attacker. 
  The police are a fucking street gang at this point. >
