It may look like you’re exaggerating to the casual observer, but as an Ohioan, this exact same scenario happened in my county and the county next to me. An officer handcuffed a mentally disabled woman and drug her down the stairs by her ankles, face down, and roughed her up a bit. He was fired from the Wayne County sheriff’s dept and hired onto the Holmes County sheriff’s dept the next week.
Which is really strange because clearly they’re a liability that will attract future lawsuits and misconduct. There’s a reason hospitals don’t hire doctors and nurses who got fired from other hospitals for bad behavior. But cops don’t pay out those lawsuits.
Costs will be paid by city or county taxpayers, as the case may be. So no financial pain will ever be felt by the department that hires a shit bag like this.
Exactly, it should be fired, charged, loss of required policing license if found guilty (or if a police license board decides so, even without conviction)
Currently I’ll take just fired and charged, since we don’t have policing licenses as of yet.
He’ll be a new hire in a neighboring County in a couple of months.
This is a resume builder for a lot of cops
