Sometimes we see police officers get away with so much nonsense it seems like there's nothing they could possibly do to be found unsuitable for the job. And then other people get weeded out fairly quickly for relatively minor offenses. That seems to be the case with Christopher McKinney.
I'm not saying McKinney sounds like a good officer who deserves another chance -- he doesn't. I'm glad his department was apparently keeping an eye on him. They have GPS trackers in police vehicles these days for good reason. That's how they catch a lot of people doing sexual misconduct and other crimes. It sounds like his chief didn't trust McKinney after an incident in which McKinney, while assigned as a school resource officer, was sitting in his girlfriend's car while a student ran out of the school. In the video posted above, he was found to have a GPS blocking device in his car that he initially said was something to prevent 5G from making him sick at the recommendation of Alex Jones. Anyway I thought it was refreshing to see someone getting decertified simply because his chain of command found him untrustworthy in general. I've seen officers commit rape and all kinds of crimes and their commanding officers didn't want to lose them.
