Not for me to say. It is up to his department.
Based on what I know of the law and general procedure, his actions appear to comply. What I would have done in a similar situation may or may not have been different.
I don’t back other cops no matter what they do, when they are wrong, I deal with it.
I notice you do a pretty good job of bashing them no matter what they do.

Deal with it how? How many fellow cops have you let off for speeding? For DUI? Wife abuse? I know a bunch.

I have an aversion to a police state which is where we are headed. Currently we have police encouraging people to allow warrant less searches, we have police tazing 82 year old women, we have police with the exact same tactics and weapons as the military.
Police should be held to a higher standard but are instead given a pass. Entire departments have been proven to be corrupt and/or incompetent. Departments confiscating innocent peoples property on trumped up drug charges.
Tazers have their place but this wasn’t one of them. A little respect (from both people) goes a long way. He risked this guys life for his ego and then joked about it.
