A Texas police officer has been fired for allegedly giving a sandwich filled with feces to a homeless man. Matthew Luckhurst lost his job for what the San Antonio police chief, William McManus, described as a “vile and disgusting act”. The other officer said he told Luckhurst to go back and throw the container away and assumed that he did. Police said that an internal affairs investigation was launched in July after an officer reported Luckhurst to his supervisor, and the case was presented to police and civilian review boards in October. According to Haven For Hope, there are almost 3,000 homeless people in the city, 42% of them lacking shelter.
