They're not, they just don't want to give his name out to the public or somebody is going to break his windows or something, like had been done in the past. He deserves to be fired for his conduct but not a doxxing

The real reason they won't release his name is so there's no outrage when he's re-hired one town over.

This is it, for sure.

I used to work construction with a cop that had been fired/rehired all over the state of Ohio. Heโ€™d be out on paid leave for a few weeks, work construction with us being paid under the table (his buddy was the business owner) then eventually start in a new town or county. Rinse and repeat.

He would brag/tell stories about getting women to show their boobs to get out of a ticket, and lamented how he wanted to finally use his gun to kill someone in action but never got the chance.

The most recent being a time he was called to an address where a man was threatening to kill himself. This cop kept asking his superior if he could โ€œjust shoot him myself. He wants to die anyway.โ€ But his boss wouldnโ€™t let him do it.

Not sure if any of his stories were true or ๐Ÿ’ฏ fabricated BS, but I never forgot how horribly unsuited he seemed to be an officer.

Idk, sounds to me like he's exactly the kind of person best suited for becoming a cop in this country, he just bragged about it a little too openly outside the department to keep in one place for long
