I have a different point-of-view, as usual. lol I think Legislators, County Supervisors and Mayors abuse law enforcement, by firstly enacting war-against-the-people, then placing law enforcement in the middle of that war to be their 'jack-booted-thugs,' seizing assets of the people, suppressing and oppressing one targeted demographic after another. When things go wrong, or there is public outcry, the cops (or troops) are scapegoated, the Legislative Branch that caused it, approved it, oversights it, authorizes it, and funds every penny of it, makes themselves-out as 'heroes' and thusly escapes personal-responsibility for any of it.

Secondly, the politics behind-the-scenes of community and law-enforcement, is under a lot of pressure today to find someone to divert attention away from some very high-profile cases, Eric Garner's death for example, which isn't about police not doing their jobs, it's about Legislators making-up any excuse to hate the people and lifestyles and unleash trained-killers against us, then blame cops. To divert attention away from it, the same Legislative Branch with Police Unions are putting much pressure on Sheriff's offices and departments to find any cop to publicly humiliate -- any excuse will do -- and Officer Brian Hirzel is the latest.

Had there been gross violations of Justice, the Federal Justice Department would have indicted BOTH the Sheriff's office AND Brian Hirzel -- therefore, there wasn't.

Firing an Officer makes that officer want to kill themselves, and many people in the public, who hate the police, cheer for it. I DO NOT and I WILL NOT SHARE IN ANY OF YOUR CHEERING.

Kind regards, always,
