He should get fired, but I'm sure the city sees him as one less future lawsuit, and will want others to follow his example. He'll probably get a gig at the police academy teaching some course about how to stay out of trouble and brag to the recruits that "In my [number] years in law enforcement, I've never had a complaint against me, and I'm the only officer on the force who's never been sued!""If the police have to come get you, they're bringing an @$$ kicking with them!"

Find a sergeant who, somewhere in the officer's career - maybe at a training day, roll call or even in the locker room - told him that if a fellow officer is in a fight, you back him up. Document that he heard those words from a higher-ranking officer and then terminate him for insubordination.Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. - Ronald Reagan
I don't think It'll happen in the US because we don't trust our government. We are a country of skeptics, raised by skeptics, founded by skeptics. - Amaroq👍 1Comment

The downside? I'm not seeing it.
The union has a role to play. They have to side with the officer, whether they personally think he acted properly or not. He is still entitled to representation, and to have them make sure all of his employment rights are observed.
I'm not seeing a reason to be appalled. They basically admitted his conduct wasn't acceptable.
They did need to comment. The rest of the troops needed to hear the union say it will support and defend each of them equally and with enthusiasm.
Trust me... I get frustrated when my union successfully defends some chronic moron who 's got a stack of IA files in his name. If the bosses would do their job correctly, and follow progressive discipline rules, we wouldn't have to work with these knobs. I don't blame the union for defending guys like this. I blame the agency for not using the tools it has to get rid of a problem child... the right way.You can trust just about every officer you work with to risk their life to save yours, but don't ever leave your lunch in the breakroom refrigerator.👍 1Comment

Because it's more than making mistakes. This is not a mistake. It's a conscious decision to endanger other officers, blow off his duty, and to embarrass every other officer there. He deserves representation for the disciplinary action, but he does not deserve a public defense. the union minimized his actions, which throws shade on every other cop out there. In public the union represents every member. Some people don't belong being cops. To defend him publicly is to throw down the other cops he burned. You represent everyone here.
Did he just one day decide to not do his job? I think there is a long history that hasn't been disclosed yet. I fully agree that some people just don't belong being cops. I lay that squarely at the feet of Administration and the Academy. How did his attitude not get discovered during hiring? Most officers serve a year's probation and FTO during which firing is a piece of cake. How many extra chances has this clown gotten in the past? There are multiple layers that are supposed to weed out ******bags like this one. How many actually get weeded out? Admin failed you, not the union.
We had a female it took ten years to fire. Admin had foot-high stacks of documentation of her near-continuous screwing up and open refusal to follow SOP. When she was sent to Patrol, she was given three different FTOs. I had to provide remedial training, and wrote that she was literally untrainable. She just wouldn't do what she was told. One month, she was sent as the closest squad to two separate serious injury crashes, yet never showed up at either scene. They had CAD GPS mapping records of her driving in circles instead of responding. Her supervisors gave this stubborn cow 50 (fifty, and in 5-0) employee activity documentation write-ups for incompetence. The supervisors kept giving her warnings and second chances. Over and over and over. They never bothered to take it to the next steps... because that would've meant doing a real IA write-up.

Well, as I have been told “the union defends the process not the person” if you eff up... bye bye.
All this said, never lose sight of the already stated fact: the employing agency sees this person as a minimal liability.
what they forget is... while this person may not cause a civil rights lawsuit, he will cause an industrial disability and may even get someone killed. Death=lawsuits. They should fire him. I would rather deal with a partner who panics than deal with a coward.semper destravit👍 1Comment
