Well, I know it’s not a popular opinion on here but I think Salamoni deserves to be fired. I was a strong defender of him until that last round of video came out. In my mind, he definitely escalated the situation. I don’t think he should be charged and I definitely still think Sterling was wrong in many many ways, but Salamoni didn’t help the situation at all. I’ve been on the wrong end of of an over zealous cop (well, it was a prison guard because he was taken off the street for the same behavior), and that was very unprofessional and bullish of Salamoni.

I don't disagree but I am looking forward to reading the BRPD'S internal findings and the exact policies violated that necessitated the termination.

I mostly agree with this. But a video in a single incident shouldn’t define the entirety of a cop. Maybe this was not the norm for this guy. It’s possible that he is a decent cop who had a bad day and just needs to be reprimanded/suspended and retrained. That would assume that the police department is healthy and administration was on top of things and not simply in cover-thine-arse reactionary mode all of the time.

I understand what you're saying, but I imagine that dealing with the likes of Alton Sterling and all the other shite I see cops dealing with on Live PD, it can make an officer become very callous towards criminals/inmates. You can send them to all the sensitivity training and BS like that, but at the end of the day they are still humans. And make judgments and decisions based on past experiences.
