We can't even oust a cop when:
footage comes out showing they harmed someone for no reason *& lied about it*
the harmed people sue & the city settles
a grand jury indicts & the police chief fires them
B/c the jury acquits & the arbitrator reinstates... w/ backpay.

"In both cases, a police officer followed and shot to death a civilian after a heated confrontation.
In both cases... the police chief fired the officer.

In the wake of yet another person of color being killed by APD. And policing of social distancing targeting black people around the country. And the former cop killing #AhmaudArbery & not being held accountable for months.
This is all too much. My heart hurts.
