A veteran Columbia police officer was fired for using excessive force against an inmate Aug. 15.

A man in police custody began yelling after unsuccessfully trying to get water from a fountain for his eyes after being pepper-sprayed. Eventually, the officer entered and pushed the man into the wall. The officer was put on leave Aug. 24 and was later terminated.

  • @usmcct You've got it exactly backwards. We support Chief Burton's firing of the officer, not the firing of Chief Burton.

    Go to KeepColumbiaFree d o t com for more info

  • @KeepColumbiaFree so you want this guy to stay on your force but you want a chief that made a mistake in the 80's to get laid off...your logic is flawed my friend..

  • @usmcct It's not a few bad cops, this is typical. Indeed cops are often fired for interfering with police abuse. Don't think so? Do a little research, particularly google Radley Balko or Will Griggs.

  • Sign the petition supporting Chief Burton's firing of this brutal officer at KeepColumbiaFree[dot]com

  • Why are the officers that saw this happen and just sit by and do nothing not get put on leave? This is the reason why cpd has a bad name. Another officer just sits there and watch it happen... Come cpd don't allow these few cops to make a bad name for yourselves

  • Most cops are gay!

  • his steroid ass should be in prison

  • Sooooo glad he lost his job and pension!

  • Pussy ass Columbia cops. There were all kinds of incidents like this when I went to school there. Fuck those guys. Killed any dogs lately you scum?

  • FUCK YOU CPD AND FUCK YOU KEN BURTON!!!
