Greg Abbott announced his intent to leave the Cobb County Police Department on Thursday, after his superiors told him he would be fired, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myajc.com\/news\/local\/cobb-officer-who-said-only-shoot-black-people-says-retire\/iwXaTAucCB4ZKIK7uvEbxO\/#foreign\">the Atlanta Journal Constitution<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>It is unclear whether officials would accept Abbott\u2019s resignation or follow through with their plan to terminate him. With nearly 30 years of government service, the distinction could have a profound affect on his retirement benefits.
