A pension after two years of service? I doubt that would amount to much.
If Wilson is cleared he has a right to return to work.
Unforunately, sadly, the Ferguson police have strong incentives to avoid that.
Which is why there are negotiations, and why Wilson actually has the upper hand in them. It wouldn’t surprise me at all that an immediate vesting of full pension (plus health benefits) based on a projected 20 years of service (rather than his actual 2) was part of the deal. Or perhaps a lump-sum payout based on estimated lost full career wages.
I hunk it’s 6 years. Just heard on Fox LA.
They could give him a medical retirement, no income tax. And a lump sum settlement against future claims.
Would be nice to see the city sue the pressure groups to recoup the costs of hiding this guy.
