A sheriff's deputy in Knox County, Tennessee has been fired after he was caught on camera allegedly choking a university student Saturday night.
Frank Phillips, 47, was been found 'unsuitable for continued employment,' according to a termination notice posted Sunday night on the Knox County Sheriff's Office's website.
'In my 34 years of law enforcement experience, excessive force has never been tolerated. After an investigation by the Office of Professional Standards, I believe excessive force was used in this incident,' Sheriff Jimmy 'J.J.' Jones said.

It's not a party until someone blacks out.

in case you wonder why he was fired instead of placed on leave.

Sherriff Jimmy 'JJ' Jones demoted the five officers involved in the incident.
Jones' action in disciplining the officers was well-received by the community. He's now up for re-election, with early voting already taking place.

Damn..Stern has let himself go since he retired. Someone take up a collection and get the man a haircut (and some boneless bottled water too, while you are at it)

Because of one cop? Knoxville is great. Wish I still lived up that way. Plenty of much worse places to live.

You think he was fired only because of an upcoming election? Yea lets not give his superiors any credit for doing the right thing.

It was an attempt at sarcasm as numerous posters here seem overly concerned with the behavior of police in far away states while almost all of them live in Louisiana. I was caught off guard as the poster that replied actually does live in TN so I have some egg on my face.

Now what's he going to do?
Sir, what are your qualifications?
Well, I can choke a kid with his hands tied behind his back. I can kill a box of Donuts in record time, destroy a buffet, and I'm dumber than a bucket of rocks.
Well that settles it. You're hired.
