If the #ShawnGuetschow resignation letter took responsibility instead of blaming others:
“Given MY ACTIONS and the UNDERSTANDABLE attention MY ACTIONS caused in the community, mental and emotional strain MY ACTIONS brought on my family…..”

Guetschow is a Kenosha cop who used to serve as a school security guard. He is seen dragging one of the females down and squatting on her neck, slamming her head on the floor. He then handcuffs her and walks her out of the cafeteria with her handcuffed.
Many people expressed their opinions on social media. They are also outraged by Shawn Guetschow’s kneeling reactions. This incident also sparks a debate on the George Floyd incident again.
Who Is Shawn Guetschow?
Shawn Guetschow, 37-year-old Kenosha officer, worked as a security guard at the Kenosha Unified College District until he was placed on paid leave by the division. Shawn was put on paid leave until his activities were widely exposed after which he resigned.
He has subsequently resigned, and the case is currently being investigated. The mother and father of the 12-year-old girl are also disappointed with the Kenosha police’s first response.
According to the victim’s father, Guetschow faces jail charges for utilising a restraining technique that is banned by law.
On the other hand, the Kenosha Police Department has stated that Guetschow is still employed by the department, that their investigation is ongoing, and that they are paying close attention to the whole spectrum of the situation.
Who Is The Victim?
The identity of a 12-year-old girl has yet to be revealed for some reason. We can’t divulge her identification in public until we know exactly what occurred at lunchtime, according to cops.
How Is It Related To George Floyd’s Case?
Shawn Guetschow, on the other hand, has been compared to Derek Chauvin by the victim’s father, Jerrel Perez. Floyd died as a result of officer Derek Chauvin’s refusal to remove his knee from Floyd’s neck.
Many people called for the demonstrations and demanded justice for George Floyd, who led one of the most powerful campaigns in American history.
