Jacobson noted that two other officers involved in the incident – a supervisor and an officer involved in detention – would also be disciplined. Jacobson said the penalty for those officers would be less than 15 days suspension. “I think the days of waiting for criminal cases to conclude needs to stop; that's one of the things the community has asked us to do,” he said.

Jacobson said his department has implemented training and policy changes since the incident, including adding seat belts to all prisoner vans, training officers on de-escalation and revising department policy on transporting suspects in police vehicles.

So they will fire three black people?

Firing them is not enough, they'll just get a LE job in another city and do the same thing again.

What about indicting him ?

Should’ve complied and not resisted

Firing them is enough 🤔

ABCleeze STILL COVERING UP THE BIDEN CHINESE PAYMENTS.

These cops are straight trash!

My kind of police chief accountability. Treat ppl the way u want to b treated.

Police are the most dangerous element in any city. They are trained to kill in the name of the law. They're trained to see anyone as a potential threat, so fear, adrenaline & self preservation leads to foolish, rash & deadly, instinctive actions.

Recommends firing and not charges brought up?

Ambulance Chaser Ben Crump !

Can’t the uh…can’t the boss make the firing decision and do the firing?

How about prison.

Big difference between occasional use and dealing. These guys were dealing, which is a bad choice they made and now they will “deal” with the consequences. OH yeah about time Ball player's started getting seen and made to face justice when breaking law's, Now if it had been a regular person without Roll Tide gear on we wouldn't even heard anything about this but reason they showed this hope Fans will demand it be overlooked
