What’s interesting to me about that is that she was fired. Wouldn’t a reprimand be more in line with the offense? There must be more to the story.

One could look at it that if she wasn’t fired she might have remained with that PD and not ended up in Colorado in 2007 in a position to save lives.

There must be more to the story.

I'm not in law enforcement.
It does seem a tad harsh...but maybe she got caught on a bad day,
sugar-coated the confrontation...and then video (and audio?) tape
caught her telling a fib about a minor altercation.
And if she had made her original statement under oath, maybe
she was edging into perjury/obstruction of justice (???).

Seeing how well she comported herself on Sunday...maybe there was
a professional jealousy factor and some mediocre colleagues
decided to "have her badge".
Instead of helping her avoid resignation/firing.
