This man is legally allowed to kill someone if he feels threatened. This man feels threatened by a young mother and her children — to the point of cussing like a drunken sailor (apologies to my Navy friends) in front of the kids and making threats. Watch the video here. This man needs to be fired. Immediately. His name is Jason Reinbold and he is a Captain with the Nashville, TN PD. He works in the Criminal Investigations Division. I’m not suggesting anyone contact him to register their displeasure and / or disbelief, but if you are so inclined, you’ll want to use his publicly available email: jason.reinbold@nashville.gov.
What would make a man like this go so crazy? According to reports, a woman had the NERVE to ride her bike on a public bike trail with her kids. Then, she had the nerve to stop, again on the public bike trail, so the kids could have a drink and a snack. Some people! The good captain apparently took offense to the fact that the spot the woman chose to inhabit for a few minutes was - wait for it - behind his house! During the confrontation the woman stayed mostly calm while the captain acted like an ass and hurled curse words at her and her kids, accused them of being homeless, and threatened to turn the sprinklers on the family. At one point in the video, you can hear the good captain ask: "Children, you wanna stay and listen to me fucking cuss all day?" Nashville must be so proud. Watch the video. Then email the captain. Or don’t. I did.
