Chattanooga Police Chief - 'You don't see a problem with Floyd arrest, turn in your badge.'
2020-05-30
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WATE) — A Tennessee police chief’s response to the death of George Floyd, who died while in Minneapolis police custody, is going viral on Twitter with more than 600,000 likes.

On Wednesday, Chattanooga Police Department Chief David Roddy called on law enforcement officers who don’t see a problem with what was captured in disturbing video of the arrest to turn in their badges.

"There is no need to see more video. There’s no need to wait to see how it plays out. There is no need to put a knee on someone’s neck for nine minutes. There is a need to do something. If you wear a badge and you don’t have an issue with this, turn it in."

#4  You don't see a problem with judging a case based on 10 seconds of amateur video that you've seen on TV?

#3  Sh*t runs down hill. City hall is uphill from Police HQ. Police HQ is uphill from the precincts. The top rank in the precinct is uphill of everybody else in that "house." So, guess how that works out.

#2  I assume that any Caucasian who becomes a cop in USA is crazy. Sooner or later, he'll have to confront a black perp and die or use "excessive" force.

#1  Well I guess, that settles that. No further discussion or examination of facts required.
