TX - S.A. cop fired; fed homeless man fecal sandwich, quote sources

Our American law enforcement system enables its officers to abuse their power and harass the citizenry in ways both petty and outright barbaric. Here’s a particularly cruel example, from down in San Antonio: a cop was fired this week after he fed a homeless man a **** sandwich. I do not use “**** sandwich” metaphorically. According to a delicately worded report from the San Antonio Express-News, “the officer reportedly placed fecal matter between two pieces of bread and fed it to a homeless person.”

Officer Matthew Luckhurst was a 5-year veteran of the force at the time of the incident, which took place in May.

In a statement released Friday, Chief William McManus said that Luckhurst bragged to a fellow officer about placing the feces in a sandwich and placing it in a Styrofoam container next to a sleeping homeless man. In July, an officer reported the incident to internal affairs.

Isn't that the same police department he was 'fired' from the first time? It's mind boggling that they would rehire him.

• San Antonio Police Officer Matthew Luckhurst, who was dismissed in October 2016 for giving a homeless person a feces sandwich, won his appeal this month
• The arbitrator cited a rule that an officer cannot be punished for conduct that occurred more than 180 days prior to the discipline, but did not excuse the act
• In 2016 Luckhurst had placed the feces sandwich in a food container and sat it next a homeless person before he was told to go and throw it away
• Luckhurst is still suspended for allegedly defecating without flushing in a women's toilet and smearing a brown substance on the seat in 2016 as well
