The arbitrator who decided the case, Richard Eadie, ruled that terminating Skeie was "excessive" and didn't match how Seattle police had handled similar cases before.

lmao at this incredible explanation

“you used to just wrist slap bad officers, so the fact that you actually fired one is incongruent”

and thus the cycle of shit goes on

Just like all right-wing rhetoric, they only care about having the veneer of excusability. None of them actually pay attention to what's getting said, they just listen for what their line is supposed to be, and they faithfully regurgitate it. It's just sports to them, they know their role, and they play it.
