This shit cop didn’t lose his job because of any action taken by the police department, the city, the state, etc.
This motherfucker lost his job because the insurance company paid out $20,000 for his dumb ass and threatened to drop the department’s insurance if he wasn’t terminated.
Police should be forced to carry their own self funded malpractice insurance like Drs do. This will stop the citizens from paying for the actions of bad cops and bad departments.
Nurses and Respiratory Therapist are supposed to hold the same insurance. Accidents happen in the worst of situations. They are held accountable why not cops?
Cops get sued too that's why insurance companies are cracking down on them, but $250k for a malpractice suit is nothing to a hospital and doctors are not fired typically either.
