Officer ‘Go F**K Yourself’ Officially Off Police Force
A Missouri police officer who was caught on video raising his weapon and telling Ferguson protesters that he would kill them has resigned from the force.
Lt. Ray Albers, 46, stepped down from the St. Ann police department on Thursday, the St. Louis Dispatch reported. The resignation comes just a little over a week after news outlets confirmed Albers' identity in footage of the officer threatening civilians protesting the death of Michael Brown.
"I will ****ing kill you!" Albers shouts on video, his weapon pointed at unarmed protesters.
When asked his name, Albers can be heard telling the protester: "Go **** yourself."
Albers, who served in the military, was a 20-year veteran of the department.
In an earlier interview, St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez said he was "highly angry and upset" at Albers' choice of words, but defended the officer's use of raising his weapon in the air.
According to The Dispatch, Jimenez said if the incident in Ferguson happened at any other time, Albers would have been suspended without pay.
"A whole bunch of what you'd call citizen journalists, who were sitting with cameras recording, waiting for something stupid to happen, which they got. They won on this one," Jimenez told the publication. With that shit attitude I bet Jimenez must have a great re-pore with the news media.
Yes by all means blame the public, not the fact that the Albers was an over reactionary asshole chief. Another famous non-apology, apology.
Here is the Lt. last public photograph.

Your a Joke
Your a darn fool, plain and simple. This entire incident has been sadly based upon race since day #1, or are you too stupid to have seen or heard any of the protests? You actually win the dumbest post of the year award and certainly are not like any of the hundreds of top notch Irish American Cops I have met and worked alongside over the years. You must actually have a potato for a brain if you think anything that you posted is true. Now go back to your mental health institution, as I'm sure they have most likely reported your psycho butt missing. Wow are you one dumb box of rocks.

What I have always found severely lacking for law officers, is their testing for and ability to access treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Many U.S. military soldiers come back from serving only months under extremely stressful and potentially lethal conditions and suffer severely from PTSD. Now compare that to many law officers who often spend sometimes as much as 10 to 30 years working under very stressful and potentially lethal conditions and there is practically no emphasis or seemingly non-punitive access for PTSD treatment. Why is that? I know for a fact that one of the reasons is that cops are afraid that they will look weak or lose their job if they report symptoms of PTSD.
I think the number of officers on the street RIGHT NOW suffering from PTSD symptoms is enormously high and a factor that has been overlooked or just ignored for a very long time and probably getting worse. Gone now are the days when a cop could just come in and simply go work his "beat" (assigned area) and concentrate mainly on catching criminals. Instead, today's law officers have to "multi-task" like never before and have a list of tasks a mile long, all the while trying to drive to calls while talking to dispatch, supervisors and zone partners on their cell phones, type on their in-car laptop computers and then listen to and talk on their police radios. All that while just getting to many calls for service. Then after arriving on the calls, deal with solving peoples lifelong problems and often confronting violent offenders who don't like the idea of going to jail. The list of additional tasks that many departments now put on their officers in addition to those above is beyond belief. Now try doing this for say 15 or 20 years and think what that does to any normal human being. We have to have many people who are willing to do this critical job, so please save those who like to say, "Hey nobody forced you to do it", as we are all human beings and anyone would get stressed out over time. Add on to that the fact that most depts. force their officers to work at least 20 to 30 years before they qualify for any sort of pension.
I just think that PTSD among many law officers is very much a big part of the problem and yet it has been dangerously overlooked and misdiagnosed. I wonder if most people realize that the life expectancy of a retired law officer in this country is FIVE YEARS!...many by suicide or heart attack. That's a researched fact and I believe PTSD is a big part of the problem.

You are the first one to state that the shooting was racially motivated.
As for me posting anything that was incorrect, what kind of factual information do you have to prove that any of my information was false or incorrect? I mean other then your self opinionated reply. As I posted several days ago before, you know what opinions are like correct? Well you are talking out of yours.
You have no real information to counter with. Do you know how I can tell? Because the only thing that you have offered up is grade school name calling ad hominem attacks and nothing more.
God, I can not wait for your next Bart Simpson intellectual style response.

Could not help but notice that you did not answer my question about the release of the conveyance store video evidence by the department. I am still waiting on an answer to that one. "Just stating a fact."
If the department is doing such an in depth, and through investigation, let me ask this question.
Why in the hell has the city still not asked for a copy of the audio of the gun shots from the FBI? One would think that the department would want such a significant piece of physical evidence in conducting a fair and through investigation wouldn't you?
