Saw that. My question was why he still had a job after 2013.
Because thanks to police unions, firing a cop and making it stick is a Sisyphean task.
We had a local sheriff's deputy who brutally assaulted a man about four or five years ago and lied about it. Police dashcam was eventually obtained by third parties and proved what actually happened. The Sheriff fired him. Not for the assault, mind you, but for lying on the paperwork.
The deputy ended up suing the sheriff, and got an arbiter to reinstate him. With backpay.
