Breaion King's attorney reacts to APD officer firings

SOMEONE AND LEAVES THEY CAN FACE
UP TO 10 YEARS.
TONIGHT, AND AUSTIN ATTORNEY
SAYS A POLICE OFFICER SHOULD
HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE
OFFICE SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
EARLIER WE TOLD YOU ABOUT
AN
OFFICER OUT OF A JOB FOR LYING
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS
VIDEO.
HE HAS ALSO USED FORCE AND OTHER
RESTS.
IN FROM 2016 FOUND HE HAS
CHARGED 34 PEOPLE WITH RESISTING
ARREST -- MORE THAN ANY OTHER
OFFICER IN THE PAST DECADE.
WE SPOKE TO AN ATTORNEY FOR ONE
OF THOSE PEOPLE TAKEN DOWN.
TWO VIDEOS TAKEN MORE THAN
TWO YEARS APART.
EACH ONE CAPTURES A SIMILAR
SCENE.
USE OF FORCE EXERCISED BY THIS
AUSTIN POLICE OFFICER AS HE
PHYSICALLY TAKES DOWN BOTH
PEOPLE.
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET
HURT BEFORE AN OFFICER WHO HAS
VIOLENT TENDENCIES GETS
DISCIPLINED AND REMOVED FROM THE
FORCE?
THIS ATTORNEY
REPRESENTS THE
WOMAN IN THE 2015 ARREST.
IT'S IMPORTANT POLICE OFFICERS
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR
ACTIONS.
WHEN YOU HAVE A JOB THAT
ALLOWS YOU TO USE FORCE OR EVEN
USE DEADLY FORCE, THAT THE
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM WHEN YOU
DO SOMETHING WRONG IS STRONG AND
RELIABLE.
AND I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE
THAT HERE.
THE AUSTIN POLICE CHIEF
ANNOUNCED THE DEPARTMENT'S NEW
DE-ESCALATION POLICY MONDAY,
SOMETHING HE SAYS WILL INCREASE
THE COMMUNITY'S TRUST IN HIS
OFFICERS.
BUT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THE
SAFETY.
WE DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO
PLACE THEMSELVES IN HARMS WAY
UNNECESSARILY.
THE CHIEF SAYS EVERY CALL IS
DIFFERENT.
A LOT OF THIS WILL BE UP TO
THE OFFICER'S JUDGMENT, TRAINING
AND EXPERIENCE.
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET
HURT BY AN OFFICER BEFORE HE
LOSES HIS JOB?
THE OFFICER WAS ONE OF
TWO
OFFICERS FIRED OVER THE JULY
2017 ARREST.
THEY ARE EXPECTED TO APPEAL THE
DECISION.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
IS REVIEWING THE CASE.
AUSTIN POLICE ASSOCIATION
PRESIDENT CALLED TODAY'S
DECISION TO FIRE THE OFFICERS
EXCESSIVE.
HE AGREED THEY MADE MISTAKES,
BUT WHEN DOCTORS ARE AFFORDED
DUE PROCESS AND THE ASSOCIATION
IS CONFIDENT THEY WILL GIVE THEM
MORE APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT.
IF YOU WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT
AGAINST THE POLICE OFFICER
SHOULD KNOW THE PROCESS IS NO
LONGER AS INDEPENDENT AS IT WAS
A FEW MONTHS AGO.
WHILE YOU CAN STILL FILE IT A
POINT -- A COMPLAINT, IT WILL
NOT KEEP THE RECORD.
A POLICE MONITOR MUST NOW SEND
THEM DIRECTLY TO THE AUSTIN
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THAT'S BECAUSE APD'S CONTRACT
WITH THE CITY WAS NOT RENEWED IN
DECEMBER.
IS IT IS AN REVIEW PANEL MADE UP
OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY CAN
NO LONGER LOOK OVER EACH PAGE.
