4. This is the right thing for him to do

The force seems out of control and undisciplined. That kind of situation calls for new leadership.

6. Here's a link that confirms it and a link that denies it.

Both from CNN. lol

Confirms
http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/28/us/ferguson-police-chief/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Denies
http://www.cnn.com/video/standard.html?/video/us/2014/10/24/the-history-of-manhunts-alexandra-field-ts-orig.cnn&hpt=hp_c4&from_homepage=yes&video_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F

I think CNN wants to cover ALL the angles.

Eta:
I know the link says something about manhunts in Alexandria, but the video at the link is the chief denying that he will step down.

7. He seems to disagree

At least according to this:

http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/ferguson-police-chief-says-cnn-report-that-he-will-resign/article_154af199-5bf0-51f0-bb01-edd51c7e76fd.html


Based upon the language they're using in this report, it sounds like CNN jumped the shark.

8. Same thing is happening in Beavercreek, Ohio...

The Police Chief of Beavercreek Ohio is going into early retirement following the Walmart shooting of John Crawford in August.

9. Throwing him in jail would be a first start

10. CNN is notorious for bad news reporting

11. You mean like fox?

12. I'm surprised it took so long

He was a ridiculous spokesperson from the beginning. I watched him and thought "your career is over".

16. Morons like this police chief make it harder for honest cops

He obviously has not made sure the police in his force are properly trained. He has allowed incomplete and late incident reports. He made statements and released irrelevant information that inflamed the situation rather than calmed it. He allows police on his force to threaten, attack and violate rights of citizens during peaceful demonstrations.

This police chief is one of the most incompetent officers I have ever seen. He should not only resign, he should climb in a hole and hide.

17. Agreed. The Ferguson P.D. needs to be cleaned out, and now! n/t
