The agency told 11Alive's Cody Alcorn that Deputy Michael McMaster had been terminated for policy violations. However, they didn't elaborate on the violations, but said it wasn't directly related to the body slamming incident.

---

They didn't fire him for the body slam. Apparently he is trouble all around.

I’m just speculating but maybe there was no reported suspect in area like he claimed and just wanted to check his papers.

Better than even chance that the moron got lippy with superiors when taken to task for getting caught acting like a normal Paulding County deputy. Had he stepped and fetched odds are good he is still employed.


Why on earth would ANYONE find what this dumbass did acceptable from a personal preservation POV??? Its no wonder the idiots get hurt on the job...that dude is hefty and acting like that on pavement is just stupid...he is lucky he walked away. The fat bastard could have easily hurt himself for the rest of his life.

The officer also has had 1300 hours of training. He was, obviously, considered a competent officer because he was working alone. It takes 8800 hours in Atlanta to become an electrician, plumber, heavy machinery operator or any building tradesman, before one can work without being under the direct supervision of a competent tradesmen. It also takes 5 years of classroom training, 4-8 hours a week 9 months a year. Paulding county brags on the 1300 hours. 1300 hours would mean you are a green helper barely able to fetch break in the morning in the building trades. Yeah, there aint no policing problem in the US.

I feel like PD’s should all require their guys to train some type of martial art regularly. There are a ton of cops that I train BJJ with and it really helps with two things

1)keeping calm in a stressful situation.
2) gives you more tools that vary in degree of physicality to restrain people so you don’t always have to go super sayan.


A well trained guy can restrain someone without really hurting them at all.

The sheriff’s office had this video over a year and didn’t fire him or suspend him until the story broke Nationally

Terrible. .

You ain't gotta break the law and you can comply as much as humanly possible and under the right circumstances you can find yourself being attacked by the hired muscle of the state...why is that acceptable to so many people???

Once in a billion times, maybe. All the other times, complying works. Be calm and polite, don't make sudden movements, and you'll virtually always be okay.

Some people should simply not be police officers.

Most shouldn’t.



I’ll go a step further and say we should adopt a system like England uses: the majority of cops (bobbies ) are unarmed and have limited physical enforcement expectations. Those that are armed are given extensive extra initial and recertification training and are only called for when necessary.

The truth of it is that the majority of police officers here never fire their weapon in the line of duty and they are all woefully undertrained (which leads to shite like pulling guns on a soccer mom for driving a little fast, or countless other displays of excessive force).
