If they fired him without Cause other than "public outcry" -
And the shoot team comes back and says it was justified -
The city should just ask "how much?" and write him the check -
And it should be for ALOT -
There was a cop in Bend, Oregon, several years ago now who killed a guy one night who tried to run he and another officer over with his Jeep -
Took the door off the other officer's car and then tried to run the Jeep up on the hood of his patrol car -
He got hung up somehow and dropped the hammer on the kid - and that was it.
Turned out the kid's dad was a retired Portland cop -
Made a big issue of the fact the Bend cop had two good shoots behind him prior to this incident -
Went nowhere but the Bend cop ended up leaving the profession -
Politics -
He made out okay, though. Afterward got his Lear jet pilot's license and made his living flying rich folks around.
They didn't seem to mind that he'd whacked 3 bad guys in his previous life
