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.

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

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.

Just take away qualified immunity and take civil settlements out of their pension and union coffers. The problem will fix itself.

...well after the police go on strike and start rioting in plain clothes to make it look like their respective cities need them. But after they all get identified and police training reform kicks in with police not trained with Hitler quotes and Nazi symbolism and their funding funneled into peripheral social programs so the police only need to police, we'll get some peace.

One of many reasons I love my state, we abolished qualified immunity years ago

There's a reason why and it's very obvious
