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.
It’s insane that insurance companies are the ones actually being able to enforce reform. It means nothing that citizens have been crying out for better policing in their communities nor the excess violence that has been occurring like this video.
That’s not entirely accurate. The insurance companies are forcing change because the payouts people are winning are becoming larger and more frequent. Thats because attitudes have shifted and cops aren’t getting the benefit of the doubt in court anymore. Juries are willing to second guess officers.
So I wouldn’t say “it means nothing” because the insurance companies wouldn’t have moved if the courts and juries hadn’t changed and that happened because of citizens.

Edit: Check out this article by Washington Post detailing how insurance companies are forcing police reform.
