Because he’s resigned. His statement:
“With a heavy heart and great sadness, I resigned from the Dallas Police Department this morning. I made this decision in the hope that my resignation will allow the Dallas Police Department, my fellow officers, and the citizens of Dallas to better reflect on this experience, learn from the mistakes made, and move forward. I still hope to speak with the Moats family to personally express my deep regret, sympathy, and to apologize for my poor judgment and unprofessional conduct. I also want to apologize to my fellow officers. I have sincere respect and admiration for the men and women of the Dallas Police Department and the work they perform daily, and I wish them well.”
UPDATE: Just saw this, via Busted Coverage. It is allegedly a cache of the since-removed Xanga site of Robert Powell. A highlight (?):
The count downs begin:
18 days of work then the real work starts and I can shoot people
33 days then own apartment, with cable and high speed internet
So. This could have been a lot worse.
