Scottie Scheffler arrested.

The Mayor and Police Chief of Louisville stated that the officer broke protocol by turning his body camera off. An ESPN reporter recorded video of the incident and it didn't mesh with what the arresting officer claimed.

The officer was fired last week.
 
I respect and appreciate the efforts of the vast majority of LE officers and wouldn't want to do their job.

I've been following the case and didn't see that Detective Gillis was fired. Do you have a link?

I read two main stream articles yesterday that said he was fired. As of now they have been edited to state that he is suspended.
 
I get my real news from the National Enquirer. Of course, the bar is the place for legal advice.
I hate to see a person lose his or her job for being a dink. Give him a plate reader and a pad for parking tickets. And his pay equal for the job. Six months of this “probationary period” may change his attitude, if in fact he was wrong. Heck, he may have marital issues or worse, a sick dog. Everyone deserves a second, third or fifth chance!
 
I'll bet that this is not the first time the LE guy has done some questionable things, like violating policy. This is probably the first time he had to face consequences. This got too big for the higher ups to look the other way and say "we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong". If it had been a regular person his life would be ruined.
