We've seen the videos. The police chief started the violence. We saw an unidentified man push his way into a crowd of children and start grabbing kids, then put a girl into a choke hold. There was no reason to use this kind of excessive force. He should have been the one arrested. If I had been there, I would have reacted the same as those kids to defend her.
Lisen supported: Demand Chief Scott McElree's resignationThere is never a time that an adult, doesn’t matter who they are, should put their hands on a child to commit violence. As a parent, this enrages me, and should enrage the entire community. The Chief of Police holds a position of power - they must be held to a higher standard. A “resignation” should be the tip of the iceberg for this horrifying human being. If he is assaulting children, what other crimes does this man commit. He belongs in prison with the people he put away.
Jordan supported: Demand Chief Scott McElree's resignationHonestly I see where people walk out of Walmart all the time with tv’s, food, just about anything and nothing is ever done. John didn’t even actually leave the store but to treat an elderly man like that is insane. He wasn’t even resisting. Trust me I have cops in my family and I do believe that most are truly here to serve and protect. But like everything else, there will always be a few that make everyone else in that profession look bad. I was shocked to watch the video and realize it was someone I had worked with for many years. He was always a super nice guy and now he has dementia. It’s really sad to see him treated this way. It was totally uncalled for since this particular police officer has done this before, I believe he probably doesn’t need to be in this line of work if all he can do is beat up old men. Shameful!
