In fact let's see if this unnamed officer isn't simply hired somewhere else (or gets his old job back) in awhile.
Right, and my point it the courts have said it isn't your judgment (or any other non police officer's) we are supposed to use as the litmus test but rather that of an ordinary police officer. In this case you are trying to pivot the discussion to, they obviously felt like he didn't meet that standard. Beyond that I really have no comment about how they are reprimanded or future employment, I am talking about what constitutes deadly force (in terms of the original video this started with) and I have given the legal litmus test for determining this based on precedent.
