She was nothing but nice, caring, punctual, and from where I sat, an all around good person/ employee. I knew that she got let go by the BPD, but I never knew why until I read this today.
Damn.... 15 years ago and she gets all of that back pay and benefits and full pension..
I'd sue the fk out of the city if I were her.

Cliffs:

It was a cold November day in Buffalo, New York, when Officer Cariol Horne responded to a call for a colleague in need of help. What she encountered was an officer who appeared to be “in a rage” punching a handcuffed man in the face repeatedly as other officers stood by.

Horne, heard the handcuffed man say he could not breathe and saw the officer put him in a chokehold. At that point, court documents show, she forcibly removed the officer and began to trade blows with him.

In the altercation’s aftermath, Horne was reassigned, hit with departmental charges and, eventually, fired just one year short of the 20 on the force she needed to collect her full pension.

How does this read now?
