Fri, June 12th Brad Carruthers, President of the Fairfax County Fraternal Order of Police stated Chief Roessler has lost the confidence of the Fairfax County Police force and called for his resignation. Carruthers appeared on the WMAL talk radio show hosted by Larry O’Connor. O’Connor interviewed several Fairfax County policeman and got their reactions to the Chief’s recent firing and charging of Office Timberlake for the tazing of an uncooperative citizen. Carruthers criticized the Chief for ignoring the Department’s due process for the investigation of use of force, rushing to judgment, and publicly condemning Officer Timberlake. O’Connor said that Roessler used Officer Timberlake as a scape goat to assuage public opinion during a time when police use of force is a volatile topic.
