113. Yes, I remember how all of us military officers would just resign when one bad one got canned

This shit has got to stop.

Don't accept their resignations from the task force, suspend them all without pay.

If they feel this is a "hill worth dying for" let them.

All officers that were within 100 yds of this happening, and failed to intervene, or come to his aid should be suspended without pay.

Then we need to dig into their social media.

Also, Faux News and Hate Radio should be blocked from all police break rooms and squad cars.

These folks need to listen to some Bread.
