What a dumb fuck. Man he's lucky he didn't get his head caved in. That's not Cowtown, Texas there in. Wow, what a moron.

Care to elaborate upon your statement?

so apparently trying to hold officers accountable for their misconduct is worthless, since arbitrators will just give them their jobs back.

After the investigation had been launched, Harless was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“Given the circumstances of that night and the mental status of (Harless), it must be concluded his conduct was defensible,” Graham wrote, referring to the Newton Avenue stop. “The employer lacked just cause to discharge him.”

No back pay is due, Graham ruled. The union did not argue for back pay, citing Harless’ medical condition.

Michael Piotrowski, an attorney with the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, has represented Harless in the case.

“We ... feel that officer Harless has been vindicated to some extent by this award and his record of clean service with the city was recognized,” he said Wednesday. “That being said, at this time, we are not intending to apply for reinstatement.”

“What needs to be understood is (there’s) no rule that says an officer (cannot) or should not make threats,” he said. “It’s not nice for a police officer to threaten to shoot somebody, (but) sometimes it’s ultimately the only thing that prevents you from doing it.”

so maybe what we should start doing is flat out killing the cops that abuse us.
