Topic: Phoenix Officer Arrested for Aggravated Assault While On Duty (Read 829 times)
He's already been charged. Ball is in the prosecutor's court as to whether he'll prosecute.
It's called public pacification. It doesn't mean anything. If the cop is disciplined, it won't be much. If he happens to lose his beat, he will be promoted. If he loses his job, he will be up for a better paying one with another police department.
It means nothing until these cops start to get fined and serve jail time just like everyone else.

A citizen called 911 to report that a Phoenix officer pointed his gun at another driver during a traffic altercation. The department took the complaint seriously, investigated, and ended up arresting the officer and charging him with aggravated assault for his on-duty actions. This is what you would expect to happen, but unfortunately it's only noteworthy because it seems like it hardly ever does.
