Fired Hurst police officer said he'd stop dropping F-bombs 'unless I feel it is absolutely necessary'

Last week we reported about the firing of the Hurst police officer who was videotaped in November cursing and threatening a teen during an arrest.

Since then, we've gotten a copy of Officer Disraeli Arnold's "letter of indefinite suspension" in which Police Chief Steve Moore explains why the four-year veteran was being fired.

Arnold was seen on a videotaped YouTube posting threatening and taunting 17-year-old Andrew Rodriguez. The officer dropped several F-bombs along the way.

At first we didn't see a lot of new information in the chief's six-page letter to Arnold, but something toward the end caught our eye.

Moore wrote, "I am deeply concerned by a written comment you included in your response to Lt. Pell duirng the Internal Affairs investigation. You stated 'Regarding my use of strong language during this incident, although I believe it was helpful in the circumstance, in the future, I will stay away from the use of profanity unless I feel it is absolutely necessary.'

"I do not believe the use of the profanity, and threats were necessary during this or any incident, and I am concerned you will repeat this behavior again."

And so, Arnold was fired.

About a pig was made to own up to this. Pigs have no morals nor do they contribute anything positive to society. They're nothing but a soldier wannabe Gestapo . They can't hack it in the military so they become pigs who bully kids and the meek.

Cops don't fire cops. They just end up doing police work somewhere else, and the beat goes on-and-on-and-on.
