    It’s like a business. If the liability rests with their officer and they are afraid of a lawsuit causing significant political blowback they are going to take action against the officer to minimize their liability. Hearing about an officer doing something like this and then leaving the force means there is nothing left for them to take action for.

    If he didn’t resign, perhaps it would be slightly harder for the chief a town over to hire the guy, but since he resigned he may have minimal marks on his record.

    I’d bet a thousand bucks this guy gets another job as a cop within 1yr though.

      I’d bet a thousand bucks I know which video they’re going to be watching in the morning briefing on his first day.
