PHOENIX A Flagstaff police officer has resigned after an independent report criticized his actions in punching a woman he was trying to arrest, authorities said.

Officer Jeff Bonar resigned Tuesday after the department recommended his termination, Flagstaff Police Chief Kevin Treadway said at a news conference Wednesday.

Flagstaff police received a copy of an independent investigation into Bonar's actions shortly after the Northern Arizona University police department submitted it to the Coconino County Attorney's Office.

1. Don't worry. This asshole will end up in the Phoenix Area soon enough. The West Valley loves

brutal Nazi fucks like this. Where do you think Joe Assholio got most of his votes?

2. thank goodness he is no longer sheriff.

3. IT will take years to undo the damage. It's a culture of shit in the MCSO because of him

and the local PDs followed his lead. Mesa and Tempe are just awful. . .Paradise Valley and Scottsdale are just one step about that.

Changing the name on the door won't change the culture or system of the MCSO. They will be just as racist, sadistic, brutal and awful.

4. sadly, you are quite correct. I know that I was very fortunate not to have any dealings with any

of those agencies on my many trips through there.
