1. I would certainly hope so. nt

2. I hope the city followed their HR policies on termination so that they

don't give this guy a lawsuit.

[Arkana]

3. If he's been fired he doesn't have police union protection.

It'll make it easier to go after him for murder charges.

Good.

[Man from Pickens]

6. There's no union

this is South Carolina

NOT a coincidence that he was fired and is going to be charged with murder. Notice those things don't happen when there is a police union involved.

Police unions are a perversion of the concept of unions and shouldn't be referred to with the same term. "Cartel" is closer to the truth.

9. Well put. Unions, yes...

Police unions, No.

4. they are continuing insurance for his wife

She is 8 months pregnant. The mayor said they will continue her health insurance coverage for the birth.

11. She can't go on Obamacare or Medicaid? nt

5. Had the video not emerged...

this guy would still be on the street, maybe even commended for his fine police work. The city is covering their ass; they don't want to be on the hook for a huge legal defense bill for this guy. I feel badly for his wife; she faces some really tough times, but this guy has to go away. Whoever took that video, thank you.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Hey,they are still on the hook for the

wrongfull death suit that is coming,this is not going away.

8. If he was an employee at the time of the murder, can they really evade a lawsuit?

10. YAH THINK!!!!!
