    The scandal is that he wasn't fired. He should have been. But these horrible officers are repeatedly allowed to resign with full benefits after gross misconduct.https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1129408256152092673 …

        As an FYI, from the news article "He will be on the city payroll until February 2020." This cop gets to collect a paycheck from the city for the rest of 2019! WHAT?

        The other option was to fire him and the union overturn it, in which case he's still a cop and taxpayers pay out waaaay more.

        & that’s part of what needs to change. Put their pensions on the line. Make them have to get representation out of their pockets & put their homes up like these Black mothers & grandmothers end up having to do! I bet the brutality will lessen overnight! & Don’t hire them again!

        The PEOPLE need to force their representatives to STOP these drains on the public coffers and confront and challenge the corrupt police (public servant) unions.

        It also removes a termination for cause from their employment record making it easier for them to just go get hired as a cop in another dept.
