Brickbat: Punch Drunk

Fort Pierce, Florida, police officer Albert Eckrode has resigned after being charged with felony battery and official misconduct and a misdemeanor count of filing a false police report. Eckrode was caught on video repeatedly slapping and punching a man who was shouting at him at a local hospital. The man, who was seated and reportedly drunk, did not strike Eckrode. Officer Monica Frederic has been charged with misdemeanor filing a false police report and has been suspended without pay. Eckrode and Frederic said in their reports the man, who is white, had had been yelling racial slurs at Frederic, who is black. But Police Chief Diane Hobley-Burney said that was not true. A third officer in the room did not stop Eckrode from striking the man but also did not file a false report. That officer remains on duty and is not facing any charges.

Eckrode is white and the man who was struck appears to be white.

Things are improving; no dog was shot.

That we know of. The systemic specieism is so endemic to our society that this cop could've gone off and killed a dog and no one would even know and even if he did tell someone, he probably wouldn't even be charged with a crime. Punch a white guy in the face and he loses his job and gets multiple felony and misdemeanor charges. Shoot a dog and nothing happens. Did you know that they don't even allow dogs in hospitals?

They let therapy dogs into hospitals.

[Compelled Speechless]

Of course they do. Is there anything in the world that's whiter than a therapy dog?

Good thing there were at a hospital and not a veterinary clinic.

“This was not use of force — it was a criminal act,” [said] Chief [Diane] Hobley-Burney, who is black

The black female chief says, in an apparent attempt to prevent rioting, that repeated slapping and punching is not use of force. However, there was probably no need to do this, since the victim appears to be white.

If Eckrode were a woman, whether cis-, FtM, or MtF and did the same thing, would they have fired xhe? xir? xit?

It would be fucking hilarious if police Unions caught on to this SJW bullshit.

"A third officer in the room did not stop Eckrode from striking the man but also did not file a false report."

Did the third officer file a true report or not file a report at all?

[mad.casual]

Did the third officer file a true report or not file a report at all?

Are you going to convict them of not filing a report, Chief?

[MatthewSlyfield]

Did I say anything about convicting anyone of anything? No, I didn't.

I still think it's odd, weaselly wording to say the third officer did not file a false report rather than saying either he filed an accurate report or he filed no report at all.

A third officer in the room did not stop Eckrode from striking the man but also did not file a false report. That officer was most likely:
A) Asleep
B) Sexually harassing hospital staff
C) Shooting a dog
D) Shocked, saddened and appalled by the actions of the other two.

literally punching down nice.
