Inappropriate conduct during the Ferguson riots led to the resignation of one cop and the firing of another
St. Ann, Missouri police lieutenant Ray Albers, the officer who pointed his AR-15 at protestors and shouted “I will fucking kill you,” submitted his resignation Thursday. The 20-year police veteran who was my candidate for Idiot Cop of the Year was given the chance to resign by the St. Ann Police Board of Commissioners. The Board did not want to have him fired outright because of his long service to the municipality.
Glendale, Missouri police officer Matthew Pappert was fired Thursday for remarks he made on Facebook. Pappert wrote that protesters were "a burden on society and a blight on the community" and should be "put down like rabid dogs."
In the case of Albers we have a man whose elevator stopped operating well before it could reach the top floor. With Pappert we have another knucklehead who is too stupid to realize that when you spread poison around the social media network, that poison has a good chance of killing your career. Adios amigos, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
