picking up trash outside his own home in Boulder, Colorado, has resigned, city officials said Thursday.
Atkinson, who is black and said after the incident that he felt he was racially profiled, showed Smyly, who is white, his student identification card, but the officer said he needed needed further proof. “You’re on my property with a gun in your hand, threatening to shoot me because I’m picking up trash,” Atkinson said."I don't have a weapon. This is a bucket. This is a clamp.”
If you fire him, he’s allowed to collect on benefits, dumbass. It’s always better to force a resignation. Grow up shaunking and quit trying to Enflame every single topic that arises. People see through that bullshit at some point. Clown.
Damn white people are crazy sometimes.
Fired would have been better
ACAB
who lets our officers just deteriorate like that? I know they get a lot of guff but they should be compensated and healthy for it
Now prosecute!
That was blatant racial profiling.He should’ve been fired immediately.
'He will be on the city payroll until February 2020.'
ACAB
Good
He will get a job with another Police department within a month.
Fire him. Don't let him resign .
LOL. Come on. He hasn’t resigned. He’s being paid monthly wages till feb 2020. That’s sick cops and police departments and cities for you.
Resigns before investigation complete...and continues to be paid by the city till Feb, 2020! That’ll take care of racial profiling! Not.
As well he should !!
Was he charged?
See ya
He's still on the payroll until next year. In the meantime he'll probably be able to go to another department and won't have to disclose this racial profiling incident.
Did he fall or was he pushed?
Yeah it's good he resigned but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. It's like time is standing still and as a society there's no evolving
He resigned and not fired? Wtf is going on?
On city payroll til 2020 LMAO WTF that student is gonna be paying his student loans til 2100. Give the student the cops remaining salary!
he needs not to be able to hold a badge again!
This is beyond out of hand, the man can't pick up trash outside his own house without being profiled.
Ohhhh
That Police Officer is a Disgrace! Thank God he Resigned.
Why wasn't he fired? That would have been the more appropriate route...
Do the other guy cop! Do the one trying to grab a that black man off his lawn while playing with his kids...cuz he looked like a guy on a warrant...but didn’t want to show him the photo!!!
I think police need to go through mandatory psychological testing every two years. You want to be able drive a car you have to reapply. Please officer should have to apply every two years to stay in the field. If you feel your psych test you’re off the force.
Plantation overseers doing what they do.
To he hired by a another jurisdiction as seen in the past
GOOD!
