Some people should not be on Facebook.

That headline is somewhat misleading. The detective wants to "prone them out" face down on the ground and only kill them if they so much as even move after that.
So sue me!
Sounded to me like he wants them to move so he would have an excuse to me.... thus the headline. As I say, not that he would likely do this, but in forums like Facebook, people let their guard down and shows how they really feel.

Eewww!!!
I took the verbal diarrhea as how he really felt and the apology as a politically correct way of trying to minimize the punishment.

Of course the Supreme Court has ruled that police are not required to protect the public anyway!
What makes you think they are even capable of protecting you?

Forget "two week vacation" this hatemonger needs a permanent vacation.
It's the same if a cop "joked" about "stringing up" black civil rights marchers. Same type of hatred. The sorry excuse for a man dishonors the badge.

Just take the last post in Andy's link above, the one after the more threatening post about "pulling the AR out and proning them"

This guy relishes the fact that only cops like him are allowed to carry guns and obviously feels superior because of it.
This idiot should be fired.
And I am a huge supporter of LEOs. Everytime the Austin Statesman railroads an APD cop for what they call a quesitonable shooting (basically if an APD cop ever fires his weapon in line of duty it is automatically quesitonable to the small minds at the Statesman) I write a letter to the editor defending APD.
But this guy is that bad apple that Old Gringo mentions above. He doesn't deserve the privilege and honor of being a police officer.
