Andy I am afraid you are wrong.

Police work i am sure is very difficult and that police officers are forced to endure a lot of garbage. That is their job!!
They know that going in. Their job is to protect the rights of American citizens according to the laws or our country,state and county. If they don't like doing that they should go find another job.
I have a job and there are parts of it I don't like. I don't not do them because I don't want to. That is what this deputy did he failed to do his job and he lied to the public.
A police officer cannot make choices about when to protect a persons rights and when not to his job it to just protect them. When it comes to protecting peoples rights he is to be a robot nothing else there is no room for personal judgement he just protects thats it!
Protect and serve this deputy did neither.
