I am pleasantly surprised that he was fired. I suspect it will be appealed though.

Every state should set up an independent committee with the absolute power to suspend and fire cops.

Ultimately this is the main issue with cop brutality. Some states, cities, and counties have better procedures and checks and balances in place than others have.

There is a reason certain cities have not come up on the brutality scandal roulette table.

Another factor to consider is that some cities have diverse cops that police their own hometown neighborhoods and tend to handle the people there alot better than others that live across town or in other counties. It's no secrecy that black cops usually do better with black people or have better rapport.

But not all places in America has the demographics or the laws to support that model. It will continue to be an issue for the foreseeable future.
