Black on black crime is a far bigger issue and concern than police shootings. I get that. It still doesn't mean that cops should get a free pass when they recklessly kill unarmed civilians over the most minor of infractions.

Why is this so hard for most of you to comprehend?

The best idea they could come up with is to arrest people for handing out food?

better than internment camps for any who might be infected. and the law isn't targeted at do gooders. its a catch all. and there are probably still ways to give out food.

looking at it they could have just shown up, dropped the food off, called over the homeless they are helping and left and been fine.

it sucks, and hopefully no real charges stick, but you cant allow a disease to spread. we are spoiled here in 21st century America

What world is this?

Justin M. Johnson, a deputy in Sevier County, Tennessee, whose bodycam caught him firing wildly and without warning at an unarmed man who had been filming him. The footage then shows Johnson suffering a severe panic attack. The man doing the filming has since been charged with assault for causing the deputy's panic.

What makes the tale even more upsetting is Johnson's previous poor performance as a police officer, a track record that should have prevented him from being hired in the first place.

The JCPD hired Johnson in June 2013, and he almost immediately started causing problems. The News-Sentinel reports that his superiors had to provide him with weekly remedial training and that they cited him for "unsafe handling of guns and suspects."

At one point, Johnson reportedly "fanned" fellow officers with his weapon.

Johnson then lied to his superiors about an extramarital affair he was having. In October 2013, he reportedly emailed Johnson City Police Chief Mark Sirois to tell him that a "'lunatic' woman with a 'fatal attraction'" would be filing a fallacious complaint against him.

A complaint was then filed by a former lover of Johnson's alleging that he had told her to kill herself over text after his wife discovered their affair. Johnson had also called the Children's Services anonymously to complain that his former lover was neglecting her children.

After his deception was uncovered, Johnson was reportedly allowed to resign instead of being terminated.

In June he applied for a job with the Sevier County Sheriff's Office. His application tactfully left off his time at the JCPD, and he was promptly hired. In December 2016, Johnson had his fateful panic attack.

Wasn't JCPD the ones that wouldn’t say where they took a drunk officer who wrecked so they couldn’t get a blood draw on him?

Wow. The county is attempting to charge him with assaulting an officer in an attempt to prevent him from filing suit against the county for property damages.

That's as corrupt as it gets.

I was in Chattanooga this week for work and I saw a local policeman helping a motorist broke down on 1-24 Friday morning who might have been 7 Feet tall or he was helping a midget

I don't always agree with this cop's conclusions to everything, but we're on the same page on this one.

His final words pretty much sum up the problem with law enforcement in this country.

"Cops aren't held accountable enough... That's why there's so much abuse."

No one in any position of authority should ever be trusted.

If I said I had 1 or 50 it wouldn't make a difference in the validity of my argument. If you teach your kids the importance of respecting authority, don't be shocked when the priest rapes them

You should teach your kids to question authority and respect it until given a reason not to.

Is that not an example of an authority figure taking advantage of a child who was taught to respect authority?

And would a child taught to question authority not be more likely to speak up in that scenario?
