    Shameful. The Baltimore Police just allowed this officer to resign. This means he could be rehired anywhere. It’s an old hustle from police departments to not hold their own accountable. He should’ve been fired immediately & would have in any other profession.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1028404710091489280 …

    This Baltimore Police Officer needs to be fired immediately & charged w/ assault. Laws regarding assault still apply to police. This isn’t MMA. Completely shameful. None of that was necessary. We aren’t asking the city to suspend this man. He needs to be terminated and charged. pic.twitter.com/fCNdEcU2JO

        If you watch the documentary called The Seven Five on Netflix, it explains how police officers do what’s best for each other when an issue occurs.

        @BaltimorePolice @MarilynMosbyEsq @MayorPugh50 @ Commissioner Garry Tuggle, when will resigned Baltimore officer Arthur Williams be charged for his crimes? Start holding your officers to the same high standards you do for other residents. Are the police exempt & above the law?

        The mayor and the police chief should be held accountable for their tepid response. So far, the mayor responded with a ghost written, disengaged statement. Vote her out!!!

        Another way to ensure he doesnt get employed elsewhere as an officer is for him to be charged with a felony for assaulting the individual, also The other cop who did nothing should be held equally accountable as the one punching

        His actions in this video now serve as an audition for his next police department. To many PDs he will be someone they know they can trust to police & terrorize the next community. But I guarantee his patrol won’t be in a white neighborhood.

        Agreed! Sadly, they only fired him because he punches like a little b!tch. He's fair game while he's between cop jobs. Word travels fast around Charm City. Some cats in the hood may have some street justice waiting him? Like Chris Rock, I don't condone it, but I do understand.

        Be patient. He'll be charged in near future with first degree assault, a felony. And no dept will hire him even if only convicted of second degree assault in line of duty. SA probably will throw in misconduct in office charge. This is a softball, even for Ms. Mosby.

        Unfortunately, since they’re in the Police Union, departments cannot just fire them without an investigation first. But, if he applies at any other department this will be a part of his case file. So, the next department will be aware of this incident
