Too many people assume just because a police officer is fired, they deserve to be fired. What people seem to forget is discipline is at the discretion of the police chief. That means the chief is the judge and any punishment the chief dishes out is based on the chief's personal opinion. It does not mean the chief is always right, it just means he has the power to do whatever he wants. It is not a democracy when it comes to punishment. Thank God for courts.
