Now that no charges will be filed against Caleb Horner it's time that the Lee's Summit police department make a decision concerning their officer. How long has this investigation been going on? Now that he won't be held accountable for his actions and the death of his wife lets get some closure on this tragedy. I hope the Lee's Sumit police department does the right thing and fire this officer.

Mr Horner,

I hope your religion is worth the life of your wife. Remember your faith when you are injured or face a life threatening illness!

I hope they fire this moron too. This guy is no police officer by any means. A total disgrace to the name "police officer".

My biggest concern is this guy wouldn't call for help if some one else was injured.

He can NOT be in a position of a first responder if he'll let his wife and child die.

I am relieved that the public feels the same as we do. No one here at LSPD wants Caleb Horner to represent what we do. He DOES NOT represent who we are, and is a black eye to our dept. He needs to be fired, and he is not supported here. The public needs someone that they can trust, and he is NOT it. The public needs to know that we DO NOT support this guy, nor do we want to be represented by him.

007x, the way I see it, if you wear the same colors or fly the same flag as a guilty party, you are just as guilty. I am just doing what police do at crime scenes...Most cops end up pressured to find the bad guys, then look back at who all was at the crime scene and look for "The most likely suspects" instead of taking the time to go out and look for the people who really did it. The second reason I am making the entire LSPD guilty by association is because I feel they are at fault for even allowing him to remain on the force and for not doing anything to stop him.

Instead of saying "He does not represent us as a whole" or "We do not support this guy", FIRE HIM and quit lying your asses off just to make us happier. If you truly don't support him, why is he still on the force, and if he does not represent you as a whole, why is he still allowed to fly your flag and wear your uniform?

I am sorry mnaines I have to disagree, I mean other people can not be accountable for others wrong doings, I think your angry and that is fine but come on to blame everyone especially ones that work in the same department to make a living is wrong. He will get his ultimate punishment but in GOD speed, sometimes it's like that and we have to accept it.

ANYONE who wears the uniform represents the team as a whole, and nothing you can say or do will change that. This is the main reason I do not like cops. They have proven time and time again that they are liars and hypocrites.

when_hutton_talks,

I was thinking the same thing! But didn't want to get fried for it. LOL! AS you can see people are very angry. Another point to my previous post is how can people from your job stop a personal family decision?

Chula, I am not angry. I am blaming everyone at that station because they just lied to us about how they feel about this situation..."We do not support this guy" - Why is he still on the force if you do not support him? "He in no way represents the department as a whole" - As long as he wears a police uniform, he represents ALL police officers as a whole. That is how I feel. Sorry if I seemed aggressive.

That is why I feel they lied to us. That is typical police procedure...The guy is still on the force, the guy still gets to wear a police uniform and badge, and yet they turn around and say that he in no way represents them as a whole. That is typical police policy...Lies...That's all it is in my eyes, and until it changes, I will continue to feel this way.

The LSPD should have fired him a long time ago and gotten rid of him BEFORE he became a black eye on the department. That would have spared them from the black mark in the reputation of their department, but did they? No. Now they have the nerve to come on here and try to tell us that he in no way represents them? Bah. I feel they are not even trying to tie up that loose end, and instead are (unsuccessfully) trying to correct the mistake that should not have happened (keeping the guy on the force instead of firing him was the mistake)

Mnaines-

He has not been "in uniform" for a year. He does not "fly our flag." We are NOT responsible for his actions. Believe me, if I were king for a day, I WOULD fire him. It is much more complicated than that. There is no guilty by association here. Do not lump us all into one category, as I am sure you would not want us to do the same with you and your co-workers, family members, etc.

Chula, if the officers from LSPD KNEW Misty Horner needed help, they should have sent it. Religion is no excuse for letting someone die, and they should have known better than to let him just stand there and watch her die.

007x, last report I heard, he was on "paid administrative leave", which I assume still means "He's still a cop, but he's getting a 'paid vacation' while we investigate"

The fact that he is still getting paid is the reason I'm upset. And I do not believe anything about "complications". How hard can it be to say "You're fired" to someone? I understand he may take it as prejudice against his religion, but when you have the support of the public backing your decision, what judge is going to argue with the masses? I respect the fact that the LSPD is doing what they can to rid themselves of that scum, but what I do not appreciate is them telling us he's not one of them when all the reports say "Paid administrative leave" and the department has not officially fire them. Until he is fired, I will still consider him a part of the LSPD. That is what it is going to take to make me think otherwise.

Unfortunately not being able to file charges will just make it thnat much harder to find legal grounds to fire this guy.Chula ditto.

I still hold a grudge against police for what they did. I uploaded a new pic to my bio showing what is left of a wound I received in 2003 caused by a 9mm hollow-point round that a cop claimed as "stray bullet". When I tried to sue the department over it, I lost the case because the cop said it was a stray bullet and that he was not responsible for it. All I got was a written letter of apology, but no promise or anything that something would be done to reduce the so-called "stray bullet". I have seen reports of many shootouts between police, and from the reports I read, the number of bullets fired by the cops was nearly 1.5 to 2 times the number of bullets that actually hit the suspect, while the number of bullets fired by the suspects was almost equivalent to the number of bullets that actually hit officers. The reason for my grudge is because to this day, nothing was done about the IDF incident where I was hit in the leg while I slept.

I watch, I interact, and I move among you. I'm everywhere and nowhere. I pull the strings, plot and scheme. We all are playing one huge game, but are you on the right team? Are you honest and true to others....yourself? I'm not angry, just a judge in what is right and what is wrong. I don't only speak about this.....I act.
