The agency shitcanned him because they could. As an at will employee, the agency needed no reason whatsoever to terminate his employment. If he was a fulltime employee, the Union would have stepped in and he wouldn't be fired. It is simply that they fired him because they could to save face instead of own up to the fuck up.

What does a 6 year old do that causes them to be arrested? I'm pretty sure it's not angelic behavior I'm pretty sure it's not angelic behavior You have to admit handcuffing a non-combative 6 year old is bad PR Maybe we could just not arrest toddlers? |

Quoted: What does the opposite of at will mean in the context of being fired. What EXACTLY did you mean by this post if you didn't mean a union would have likely protected him if he were full time? Take your time. I have several hours of nothing to do. View Quote My original comment was directed at the fact that I was not surprised he was fired, as their is no necessity to have cause to "fire" the reserve and there is no appeal process for the reserve either. It is very easy and can be common to see "at-will" employees or volunteers terminated at the blink of an eye if they are involved in a controversial situation or incident in my area. Again, where did I introduce the union angle into this thread? |

I can sure tell what generation most of you guys grew up in.. Shit, if I had hit a teacher, my dad would have been busting my ass after he made me find the switch to do it with and then make me write an apology to the teacher and read it out loud in front of the class! View Quote |

A FIRED COP IS THE KIND that arrests a six year old. All charges against the little girl have been dropped. School says they never advocated for her arrest. View Quote Qhy did they call the police? Why didn't the school "handle" it? |

Quoted: So for future guidance, maybe don't arrest 6 year olds unless they're wielding nunchucks or something. And they're really big for their age. View Quote |

Quoted: I was at a local Walmart, getting new tires/oil change, so I am sitting there. I notice the tactical boots on the guy sitting next to me, so I strike up a conversation "So do you work at the base? "No, counselor at the Juvenile detention facility" So he starts telling me stories of his job site, think of the worst kind of Tarantino horror shock Lord of the flies film, but with 7-10 year olds. To summarize everything, the kids have to shower one at a time, or they will all start raping each other, 7 year olds. Violent assaults are daily. The guards male and female have gotten in trouble for sneaking in contraband and fucking them. Then they get out, because "they just kids" and they go on to abuse kids at school/daycare, eventually get caught, back in the system, but now more victims (who may also end up in the system). The system is not designed to heal broken kids, just put them in a cell with other broken kids to learn how to be better abusers and then get out, come back in, lather rinse repeat. The court system has found themselves a self licking ice cream cone, where court/legal services will always be in demand, as they will always have a healthy supply of criminals. Which is how we got here... "The majority of violent crimes are perpetrated by a small number of persistent violent offenders, typically males, characterized by early onset of violent criminality, substance abuse, personality disorders, and nonviolent criminality." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3969807/ There are kids with no parents, no role models, no morals, and exposed to violence and sex abuse, drug and gang culture since they could remember. But we can't talk about this, we can only discuss getting "guns off the street". They are perpetuating violence, by ignoring the sociocultural causes of violence in our urban communities. I'm all about locking up offenders. But if this system is not addressed and seriously upgraded/reformed, then they will use it as an excuse to take your rights to defend yourself away, and we will still have a permanent criminal underclass. View Quote While I haven't really looked at the article mentioned by the OP I applaud police officers who hold kids accountable for their actions. It's a dying art. |

Even at 6, I knew “don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time”. And I knew assault was a crime. Maybe the kid doesn’t anything, but ignorance of the law is no excuse. I knew that at 6, too. View Quote You misbehave again paddle at school and switch at home. First off this dick did not follow protocol by calling in to get approval to arrest a 6 year old. I agree with what some are saying about discipline. But there are other ways as a teacher and better yet to put the fear of God in a 6 year old other than restraining them and arresting them. This could impact her alright. Impact her to hate and be afraid of cops. L.E. already has a tough enough job without a reservist doing something this stupid and making it seem all LEOs are like him. They should have contacted the caregiver and ltk of the situation and le was there and come in asap. Then sit down and talk about this problem. Personally this was not a L.E. issue. It was a school issue. The reservist officer should be fired for not following protocol. |

This is a load of bullshit For starters, there are generally specialists in child discipline at schools. All teachers get SOME training in dealing with difficult children and generally there are Vice Principals who specialize in it, as well as often special ed teachers who specialize in it. Similarly, there's a world of options for a police officer between nothing and arrest. One of those options is to stay present to stop any (serous) physical attack of teacher by child and wait for more trained member of staff, or parent, or hell if this is a repeating issue, CPS to arrive.

Common sense ended long ago with Mandatory Minimums and Zero Tolerance Policies pushed by Susie Soccer Mom and Johnny No Balls Blue Jeans. The entirety of the school system is fucked up in how they handle disciplinary issues. 1. Teachers cannot go hands on. 2. Schools cannot punish unruly kids. 3. They divert everything to LE. 4. LE is instructed to no have discretion when it comes to enforcement. 5. Parents don't discipline their kids. 6. Since kids are disciplined at home, they are unruly at school. 7. It becomes a perfect storm. View Quote |

Quoted:
He didn't notify his supervisor prior to the arrest. That's what got him fired. He is a Reserve Officer and that means he worked at will for the agency. They could have terminated him for not shining his shoes. They shit canned him as a scapegoat due to the bad PR framed by the situation and media. View Quote |

How about a cop that's doing his job, because parents don't do theirs.
If people actually raised their children right schools wouldn't be calling police to deal with kids. As it is now a kid starts kicking/punching on a teacher and a large portion of the parents of said kids are going to come to their child's defense or try to make excuses for them. At the end of the day the joke's on them. When their kids hit 14-18 the parents are going to be calling the police to their house because they can't handle their badass kids and/or afraid of their kids. To late by then. You fucked up from day one. You can't fix that 15+ years in. |

Quoted: So in your expert opinion, he was fired for bad PR and not arresting the 6 year old? Did you read the part about how much of a fuckup this guy was for years? Why would you still be here defending him? If it were me and I had defended him without reading the article or thread, I would unsubscribe here. YMMV View Quote |

Quoted: Because he was a reserve officer, he was not a member of the collective bargaining unit, and the police union didn’t represent him, Shawn Dunlap of the Fraternal Order of Police Orlando Lodge 25, said in an email Tuesday. IF the union was in on it, there would have been no firing, I''ll wager. WTF is the school doing calling the police for that anyways?!?!?! As the parent of children in that age range, I would be furious if that was my child. View Quote |

I am calling you a liar. Show me these LE instructions to have zero discretion when it comes to enforcement of laws on children in school. (Unless, of course, the part where the LE is supposed to have zero discretion and call the higher ups for confirmation before arresting, which this guy should have done) View Quote Also after the Parkland shooting and everyone whining about how many times the Sheriffs department dealt with the shooter and 'nothing was done'. Now it means when you deal with students for issues at school, an arrest is necessary to CYA. Should further violence arise from said person years down the line nobody wants to be the guy that investigated a crime with that person and 'did nothing.' |

Our school resource officer's don't exercise discretion for any crime committed on school property. Sadly we live in an age where discretion is going out the window.

Do you not understand that school officials either cannot or will not do any of those things? A school principal can’t just unilaterally order a kid to be institutionalized, or a parent to do anything. It’s very hard to even move a kid to a “special” school without parental agreement. Which is why courts have to be involved to take any serious measures, which in turn requires police involvement. If you don’t have a police report number and all of the data from the report that you cannot otherwise get due to privacy laws, nobody at the court or juvenile intake will even be able to start in most cases.

He thinks the Union is like some all power organization. He clearly doesn't understand that the Union would simply fight for their member.

Absolutely, the laws/regulations have been crafted by retards. From what Officer Miami posted, the Florida "Rebulicants" have go full retard. However, "just following orders" didn't work before... Just because something is "legal" doesn't mean Officer Robot (beep beep) or school admin should be doing it are they monkeys, or do that have two fictional brain cells to rub together (not a typo)? Or that school boards should be directing schools to do it. There are check and balances that are not being used, I am sure. At minimum citizens should be pushing to get rid of these retarded laws. And are they just laws or are some of these things "department policies"? I'll bet some of it is just a "policy". The school was closed by the time I could get there, but I do recall signing a paper to authorize corporal punishment, and I checked the law again just now.

What message did that send? Republicans can pass Big Government Authoritarian Control and Gun Control and they'll be rewarded with higher offices. |
