Watch for the inevitable Gofundme.

1. Glad he's gone, but he shouldn't be able to profit by merely resigning. n/t

4. There are many questions to this.

Does he get to keep his pension?

Does he get to still carry a weapon?

Can he become an officer in another jurisdiction?

We have no idea what is in the deal they struck for him to resign.

10. The answer is probably yes to question.

Since he didn't get convicted or disciplined, his leaving the force is considered "voluntary".

2. Well, it's northeast Texas, whaddya expect?

Pat Robertson really stuffed both feet in his mouth today, those crumpled dollars saved from meager Social Security will now go to Casebolt.

He's probably been able to keep his pension at this point. At least we can be happy he's no longer on the police force.

12. I would expect the lawsuit (s) will take care of any pension.

and the police dept. is not immune to being sued.

3. Hopefully there's charges forthcoming. Nt

5. Barrel-rolled into resignation.

[MohRokTah]

6. Yeah, he was a nutter when he first arrived on the scene

He just got nuttier after the barrel roll.

7. Police chief just called Casebolt's actions "indefensible".

That may be an indicator there will be charges.

Hopefully the other cops on scene will be charged for not coming forward before the video went viral. I'm guessing there are at least a dozen falsified reports on file.

8. He resigned so another department can hire him in about 6 months. Happens all the time. nt

9. I hear Ferguson has a couple of openings.
