Cop fired for death threats eligible for rehire

One of these days that guy is going to kill someone for no reason.

I disagree, he'll have a perfectly good reason probably the 2nd time too.

You're not already a member of that particular police union. I'm guessing Canton's PD is heavily unionized, hence the intervention of an arbitrator. In a nonunion department, he'd be out on his ass for official misconduct.

Winner! Canton PD is very unionized and that is the only reason he would be able to get his job back. I'm neither pro-union or anti-union but in this instance it is the only way the officer would have a chance to return to work.

Someone like that should not have the authority to arbitrarily pull over citizens and threaten them. If they hire him back, he should be given a clerk job or stuck in the motor pool where he'll have no contact with the general public while on duty.

Could someone explain why there are no criminal charges for behavior like this? Are officers granted immunity against things like this while on duty?

[Marlin]

This is why Public employees should not be allowed to unionize. Even FDR agreed with that one.

He can always get a job as a "toilet paper tester"...

Cue a certain member and the anti "cop bashing" argument.

Actually, cops like him are the problem.. He's a fucking moron. I saw the videos and wanted to slap him myself.

No doubt. He is an excellent bad example.

It is unfortunate that those least deserving of authority and power often seek it with a blind lust for its benefits.
