Had him an investigation, reviewed the evidence, and made a decision.
Good for him.
Looks like sheriff jones did the right thing.

That could be, the officer may very well have deserved to be fired. The other officers present may have given statements that proved his wrongdoing.
2 of the 3 popos involved have a not so good history with a few reprimands involving excessive force and civil rights violations, one which cost the County of KNOX many thousands of taxpayer dollars.
The 145# kid was an award winning architect scholar who help design a custom wheelchair for a severely mangled war vet.
Im local to this.
Us against them mentality..............
Actually, the 2 other so call "officers" involved have been put on leave because of filling false reports. Stated the kid was resiting arrest and had to be subdued. Then the photos showed up.

Most of "us" do not get drunk, throw bottles at the police, and refuse to obey police commands when rioting. Hope he learns to use better judgment before he gets in more serious trouble.

You mean the cop, right?
It always amazes me in these situations that NONE of the other cops do anything or say anything. You've got one cop choking somebody and none of the other cops say, "Hey, Larry, take it easy" or just tap him on the arm or anything.
It can be spun anyway one wants it, but the facts remain. The record of this Former officer is tainted. Including a demotion from patrol sargent to patrol officer because of blatantly disobeying a command captain orders, when he put his officers in grave danger. Also denied that they abused a small frame teenager with false arrests 'cause "They were just haveing a little fun", until an unnamed source at the KCSO gave the in-car video to a local media outlet and it went viral.
Was he the kinda (officer)you want to work along side of?
What if that was your son being choked?
And lastly, why was his radio turned of during the confrontation?
Maybe so an attorney could not subpena the recording?
Bad cop. Records and pictures dont lie.
Looks like sheriff jones did the right thing.
Had him an investigation, reviewed the evidence, and made a decision.
Good for him.
Even that isn't enough for some around here.
Otherwise, it's not a riot. It's just loitering.

May well have deserved to be fired. But no one made a complaint against the officer, and he was fired less than 24 hours after the pictures were published and the investigation was started. Pretty quick work for "investigation, reviewed the evidence, and made a decision". The sheriff is up for re-election and voting is a month away. No time to waste.
It's pretty clearly marked.
I wonder if the sheriff's van got a ticket for parking in a tow away zone.
It's pretty clearly marked.
Just noticed the sheriff has his name on the police vehicle. First time I have seen that.
Bigoutside: that there was funny as h---[:D]
I hate to see an unstirred pot. [;)][:D]

Sorry about that. I can see how my comment could be taken either way. I was thinking "even a sheriff investigating and firing one of his officers isn't enough evidence of misconduct for those who say things like 'stills can be deceiving.' "
I always ignore police commands when I'm rioting.
Otherwise, it's not a riot. It's just loitering.
[:D][:D] Loitering with intent to be disgruntled.
