I wouldnt have handled anything. My supervisor would be on scene in less than 5 minutes. Then our vehicle accident section would respond and I would have a hearing and punishment next week
in your opinion, if the facts in this story are true, and this officer not only displayed reckless endangerment, but gross abuse of authority, should he be allowed to continue being a police officer?
Im going solely based off the topic title and posts because I didnt watch the video. I would take a good look at his work history. If his record was super clean and like 0 incidents or complaints.. I would do a major suspension, demotion, and loss of pay. Anything other than 0 in his background and Id fire him. That being said the union has so much power he wont get fired
interesting. I would think putting an innocent civilians life at risk, then using your position to frame that civilian would be an offense worthy of a termination, regardless of record. had that officer committed the same series of events as a private citizen, theyd more than likely be facing jail time. I find it odd youd extend leeway to an officer under these circumstances when, in my opinion, they should be held to a higher standard.
No I agree with you. The world just doesnt work that way. The only reason they will ever get fired over stuff like this is because its 2019. They record and it goes viral ---
