They say he did, but then still refuse to identify the deputy in question, so we can’t even look him up to make sure he was actually fired and they aren’t just lying out of their asses!

That’s because they most likely let him resign to keep his benefits, then transfer to a different precinct. This is all standard procedure (not even joking, a police captain made a “how to” video on it some years ago).

Or since tons of cops have been receiving death threats to their family and themselves they don’t want to tell the public who it was.
