Report: Mississippi deputy fired over threatening Xbox Live players | Ars Technica

A Mississippi sheriff's deputy was fired from his job in Jackson County after a YouTube video allegedly captured him yelling racist slurs and violently threatening other players in an online video game. Friday's firing of deputy Michael Slater was confirmed by Jackson news outlet The Clarion-Ledger, who learned of the deputy's threats by way of a Free Thought Project report.

"You're about to come to a ****in' paid police officer's house," Slater was overheard saying in response to continued threats. "I get paid to beat up n*****s like you. I get paid to beat up ****in' n*****s up like you. I will **** you up. You're damn right I'm a cop." At that point, David could be heard asking for the badge number, which Slater offered. David continued making violent threats while saying "you ain't no ****in' cop," at which point Slater offered to send a "picture message" of his face and his uniform.

The video was posted by Hood Gaming TV, a month-old game-streaming YouTube channel that contains a few videos about "roasting" and "****ing with" online players. The video about the sheriff's deputy opened with David insisting that "I did remove all of his information, badge number, phone number—everything—out of this video, so he could have his job. I don't want him to lose his job; he did all of this out of anger." David also insisted that he was "joking," that he told Slater that he was just joking, and that he is "not a person going around killing cops."

Cop: do you know who I am? Do you know who I am?
Kevin Pollak: [swipes badge] I do now, asshole.

Not surprised that he was playing CoD.

And no, of course it doesn't justify what he said.

What a great roundabout way of ferreting out a liability from law enforcement.

This is good news for their community AND for the Sheriff's department.

It's more catch an idiot, however. Who gives out their badge number?!

But yes, I suppose we all win on this one.
