A Kansas police officer "fabricated" a story that a McDonald's employee wrote an expletive on his coffee cup over the weekend, Herington Police Chief Brian Hornaday said Monday. Hornaday said the officer, who no longer works for the department, had originally claimed he had been given a coffee cup on Saturday that had "f***ing pig" written on it.

"We found that McDonald's and its employees did not have anything whatsoever to do with this incident. This was completely and solely fabricated by a Herington police officer who is no longer employed with our agency," Hornaday said at a press conference.

The officer, who has not been identified, was with the Herington Police Department for only two months, Hornaday said.

Also notice that the guy resigned... not fired. I swear, cops will defend even former cops.

Blood in, blood out.

He would of been fired if he didn't resign. If they fired him he could, if he wanted to, drag it out through I/A investigation and appeals/arbitration. If he resigns, it's immediate and he has no recourse, he's done/toast.

There's no one that could have his back on this one.

Too many times these guys are allowed to resign and move on to the next town where they rinse and repeat thier tomfuqery.

Congrats to the MPD for rounding up and arresting the poor, while keeping souvenirs.

I hope this is a joke. We've seen far worse instances of cops protecting their own than this. You know, where people actually died and stuff.

Perhaps but there you get all manner of explanations; split second decisions/following training/etc. Sometimes those explanations have some merit and sometimes not so much. (case specific of course) In this particular incident there's not a whole hell of lot room for spin.

If the new agency did their due diligence with a background check, he shouldn't be hired anywhere. Imagine the liability he drags along in his baggage.

Oh I know. Would still be a waste of the courts time.

Yep. Waste of everyone's time. Resign is the best option, however I'm sure Ras would love to see his head on a pike hanging outside the main gate. I wouldn't go that far, but I hate (intensely dislike) people who do crap like this. A bad cop tarnishes everyone's badge.

I'm sure he has no rehire in big red letters on his file. That'll convey on reference calls.

Meh, they don't care. Police misconduct doesn't cost them a damn thing, it's the taxpayers who take it on the chin when the cops step out of line and suits are filed.

Oh there are costs. Individuals who hire knowing an individuals background can be held liable, jurisdictions can refuse to indemnify, negative retention and vicarious liability are all real things. Reputations and pensions are important to the bureaucracy as well.

Exactly. Time off with pay after an officer involved shooting. All this guy did was pull a Jussie Smollett type of stunt.

What liability? From fabricating a story about a cup of coffee? These police can engage in shootings, stalking, domestic abuse, etc and still seem to bounce from one job to the next.
