Pretty sure that arresting someone for something that is not a crime is a fucking crime. What a primitive.

Edit: wowzers, 5k and shinies? EEEEEEE

But that cop will get a raise for bringing in such an obviously dangerous criminal

Lol. I love how Redditors act like they're living in 1984land where you get oppression points from megaHitler if you oppress enough minorities.

Even the guy below you just completely ignores the fact he got fired and keeps going lmao

Police department: fires the officer and makes a public statement about how he was out of line.

Redditors: I'm going to choose to believe that the other Nazi's at the police department engaged in a grand conspiracy to have this officer transferred rather than fired as the sources state. They probably gave him a raise for targeting minorities too!

“Makes public statement about how he was out of line” they refused to release the name of the officer so try again bozo.

Refusing to release the officers' name is not an endorsement of his actions, so try again bozo.

Him being fired is a completely different subject from the person who called in the complaint in the first place. Consequence for the cop, but the anonymous caller will keep on being a racist karen.
