A police officer in San Antonio has been fired after boasting to his partner that he gave a homeless person a fecal sandwich, according to reports Friday.

Fox 29 San Antonio identified the officer as Matthew Luckhurst.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus told the station Luckhurst took two bread slices, put feces between them and put the sandwich in a Styrofoam container.

McManus said Luckhurst told his partner what he did and that the partner told him to retrieve the container which he did, according to the station.

McManus said Luckhurst’s actions disgusted other officers and the story reached the department’s chain of command.

Mayor Ivy Taylor issued a statement on the termination.

“Firing this officer was the right thing to do,” he said. “His actions were a betrayal of every value we have in our community, and he is not representative of our great police force.”

Luckhurst told the San Antonio Express-News that his lawyer advised him not to comment. The paper said Luckhurst became a San Antonio cop five years ago.

His lawyer, Ben Sifuentes, told the paper his client joked about giving an excrement sandwich to a homeless person but never actually did so.

“It didn’t happen,” he told the paper.

The paper said investigators tried to track down the intended recipient of the alleged sandwich without success.

Lots of plus's living and working in a "right to work" state........However there are negatives this being one of them.No proof at all and yet he gets the boot.Don't get me wrong......if proof had been offered I'd be all for his dismissal.

one of my favorite user comments on the original story was "we will never get rid of the homeless if people keep feeding them"...

I'd say 99.9% of the homeless in San Diego (everywhere, for that matter) have one of two issues; substance abuse problems, or mental health problems. Many of them have both.

And I'd go even further and say 90% put themselves there through a series of piss poor life choices. Doesn't mean they aren't redeemable, but it does mean I have no pity for most of them.

Macs... while I probably have less pity for the homeless than you do... unwarranted cruelty from someone in a position of power isn't very acceptable either.

I never can understand why people do stuff like this. He had a gun, he could have simply killed the homeless person. Why be cruel and make them demean themselves? It's like the kid that pulls wings off flies.

My post was not even remotely endorsing what that cop allegedly did. I merely made a statement that the homeless are where they are through their own actions, or inaction.

I do not endorse harassing them, nor demeaning them, in any way. I spent from 10:00am to 1:00pm today in a church with folks who are in recovery from drugs, alcohol, and some from homelessness. I was visiting with a friend I helped get into this Christian-based recovery program.

While I'd love to point out Victor's hypocrisy with you, instead of defending it... some of them are just jerks and need the beating they didn't get back in the day.

was he weaker or stronger than the homeless man he kicked? Also, I heard the homeless guy was laying on the side walk with his pants around his ankles when victor kicked him... I seen a picture and everything... I don't know how you were raised, but where I come from - in a fight - the guy with his pants down is automatically the less powerful one... it's just physics and stuff...
