Then the police union steps in, go through some arbitration and show for the media. Then after the heat is off they give the cop back his job. Hell we even had the head of the police union pull his gun on a lady in a road rage confrontation. He lost his cushy job but not his badge. 5 bucks says this ain't the end of it. Another says he won't be punished.
