    You should’ve fired him. Shame on you for not doing so.https://twitter.com/fpdcc/status/1017210579134672896 …

    Effective today, Officer Patrick Connor no longer serves in the police department of the Forest Preserves of Cook County. He resigned late today. But that isn’t where our work ends.

        Which allows him to re-surface at another police department, with a clean record.

        Correct. Your work is not done. Please announce your intent to conduct implicit bias testing of your entire force, and background checks for any connections to or support for white supremacists. Then spread that work to all law enforcement in Cook County. Show your change.

        Not to steal thunder, but unfortunately he will probably just go to another police or security department..The MO of too many police departments in this country is to finally give into public demands to fire an unacceptable officer,.. then quietly place them somewhere else!

        Exactly, he will now potentially get benefits & opportunities that he should have lost, when his racial bias, clearly affected him from doing his job.

        Officer Patrick Conner should have been fired, penalized(no Pension) and charged with "reckless endangerment.' Patrick Conner recklessly engaged in conduct which created a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person(s) - Mia Irizarry and her family.

        He was probably advised to resign instead of being fired. If he has enough time in to retire, he'll be able to keep his pension & benefits. He can also apply for another job with no record of any previous termination. He'll be lucky if he lands a Mall cop job after this though.

        No, he'll just go to a department more accepting of his racism and ineptitude where he'll likely take out his aggression on another person of color and end their life. We've seen this before.

        While they should have fired him. His resignation prevents him from getting unemployment from the State of Illinois. If he had been fired, he could have filed for unemployment.
