What happened to the policeman who did the actual killing?
- zimpenfish 8y agoLooks like "nothing" - the DA declined to charge him and whilst there was an internal investigation, that doesn't seem to have gone anywhere either.
- sorokod 8y agoThe contrast between the fate of the swatter and the killer is quite... striking. Makes it look as if police has no agency not to kill.

- Mc_Big_G 8y agoProbably a promotion.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoAbsolutely nothing, and both the city and the department have refused to release his name (though it's gone public regardless) or discuss him at all. IIRC, the police chief's statement made it clear that neither the officer nor the department was to blame for anything. Which means this is going to keep happening. There's no incentive to change behavior on the individual level, or training on the department level.
