Why resign if this was justified?
post
Just to be hired by another department in all likelihood.
I figure he resigned because that was the deal to get off scott free for the murder. No problem though, he can (and will) easily get hired at some other police dept.
Yes, they always completely cease any investigation into the incident once the cop involved resigns. They claim that since he's no longer an employee, they can't, as law enforcement, do anything about the ex-employees illegal acts.
Pretty sure the mom is going to get a murder charge. There is no way they let her off using her baby as a human shield.
I hope that motherfucker resigns from life next.
To be honest I can't recall any story of a cop killing themselves after a bad shoot. That would require morals and shame.
They probably need a better man to do it for them.
PTSD is common in cops. Several officers that defended the capitol on Jan 6th committed suicide
Sucks that it's more likely Hunter Foster has already been offered a job with a pay raise at some other Mississippi cop shop that likes his style. At least they finally released the fuckers' name so people can try to keep tabs on him.
Hopefully someone helps him out since he probably thinks he didn't do anything wrong.
resigns? not fired? not jailed pending murder charges?
He'll crop up elsewhere. That's the standard playbook for these shitbirds.
He'll get a referral or transfer lol. And a new gun and a clip.
And the nice thing about most rural police agencies letting their employees take their vehicle home with them is the tax payers get to pay for his fuel when he gets hired in the next county over.
I would take a guess and say that if he resigns he can move to a new state or whatever and get a new job as a cop. If he waited to get fired he'd be on a list of some kind. Better to resign and move on than fight it, lose, and be unhireable.
It's interesting seeing the comments here opposed to the ones on videos or news sites. A lot of people blamed the mother for this. At the end of the day to me it doesnt matter what she did, escalating the situation for stealing diapers to the point that they tried murdering her is never acceptable and should not be normalized to be. Just let her go, they got the plates just pick her up at her place in an hour. Why do we need to end anyones life over theft? Crazy world...
Seems the women were fleeing, the cops put themselves in the path of the vehicle, then used that as a safety justification for lethal force
It could easily have been another civilian being struck by a stray bullet. A shoplifted fleeing is not as bad as an innocent person being shot. Cops already had the women's faces and plate number
Departments need a policy against officers intentionally blocking a vehicle with their body
Worthless gesture
You don't understand, that baby was coming right for him! He had to defend himself!
I wonder if these shitheads claim to be pro-life.
You HAVE to Understand STUPID VIOLENT LIBTARDS that the Baby was ALREADY Born so it's OK to Shoot!
-Pro Life Republicans LITERALLY!
Resigned? Did he getting a fucking deal from ICE? The murderer would fit in with those sack of shit neo-Nazi racists.
Mississippi officer rEsIgNs 4 months after he murdered a 1 year old, but only because it was in the news again when the blatantly openly racist administration of the state gave him a free pass and it finally got attention of national news.
FTFY
Uh oh— did he wake up today with the realization he’s a child murderer? Quick— administer the prophylactics!!
It seems fairly acceptable to meet a minor criminal matter with extreme force. It would seem disproportionate and that in using force in that way the police are taking on the role of judge and jury. If the rule of law is to hold then no one is above the law, not even if they are demented or wealthy.
