And people wonder why more good cops don't speak out--if suspension and possible job loss is the result.

I know we like to think we'd do anything to stop the senseless killings by bad police officers but here you have proof that speaking your mind and stating your opinion does you no good.

I hope she gets her job back 'cause we need more officers like her.

Thanks for the update Chemisse:

Update: Mayor Brad Sellers has released a statement confirming that Officer Jones is not fired, not suspended and is still a full time officer. He stated that she did not violate social media policy by making the now viral video.

1. I'm so not surprised. nt

2. Not surprised, chances are she won't have a job much longer.

3. Was she suspended with pay? If she merely murdered someone, she'd be suspended with pay

....while her lack of responsibility was sorted out.

4. I hope there is a thorough investigation.

It's way past time for people to speak up, especially people in authority.

5. They oughta put her in charge. (n/t)

7. That's great. I'm assuming that wasn't the case at the time

of her interview. She seemed pretty upset. I hope she doesn't get demoted.

8. I do too. The blue wall of silence is half of the problem.

It's worse to say that a cop's action was murder, than to actually commit a murder!

9. I had to read your comment a few times cause it just didn't compute

but you're absolutely right. Proclaiming murder is actually worse than murdering a "perp."

10. In her position

I would be less concerned about being suspended or fired, and more concerned about whether other officers would back me up at the next call. Losing a job sucks. Losing your life, or being shot in the back seems a different level of sucking.
