MODERATORS
What kind of recourse would you have in that situation, if the world were still sane? Would your supervisors hash it out, would the judge to look at the case and throw it out, would you even expect it to get all the way to court, etc?
I imagine what would happen is that the fire chief would go ballistic on the police chief until that officer was fired. That's probably the best outcome that's within the realm of possibility
"fired"
Fired on leave with pay you mean
exactly.
This issue isn't what would happen to the firefighter, it's what would happen to the cop.
If you watch the video the issue is if the cop can claim qualified immunity to prevent themselves from being held accountable for violating the firefighters rights.
No prosecutor would fuck with the firefighter because no jury would convict.
No prosecutor would file charges against against a firefighter in that case. It would almost certainly be thrown out and that cop would get chewed out pretty good.
would prob resolve with sop review from my chief to police and a few choice words. if beyond that, yeah, a court case.
