He should be fired for a more basic reason.
Old man has a wreck.
First thing the responding officer should do is determine whether the person has an injury, whether drunk or sober his condition should be determined.
Head injury, other injuries as well as a stroke would initially have similarities until the officer thinks it through.
This cop is first and foremost a jerk and a bully, but beyond that he has no capacity to think on his feet.
The driver could have been suffering a concussion plus neck injury and the rough treatment would have made it much worse.
As it was, the driver could have died from the stroke while the cop is acting out his Rambo thing.
“He should be fired for a more basic reason.”
Again the criminal was NOT the responding officer. He was NOT a cop in the city where the accident happened. He was a bystander who happened upon an automobile accident and assaulted the driver of the car.
It just so happens that the criminal is a police officer in ANOTHER town. That is pretty much irrelevant to this incident other than presuming more knowledge on the part of the criminal than other persons. Of course the prosecutor may give this criminal more leeway than some other criminal because he is a cop some place else.
As with most crimes, the criminal also committed a tort. He will likely be sued for that and his employment should have nothing to do with the tort case, except of course he is probably more experienced in perjury than the average person in tort trial.
