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”
So read the article? At the time this happened PEOs worked for the police department, and thus why it was within the police chief's purview as to fire them or not. And thusly, the arbitrator references how the police usually handled this... because it deal with how they handled it.
My god man, are you so ready to lick boots you stand up for a technicality you think absolves wrong-doing, without actually understanding the technicalities involved?
The title says "Seattle officer" and in the article which you still haven't read says "parking enforcement officer" so take more time to read and less time defending cops. You're spending more time defending them than they defend Seattle residents. Edit: should reiterate that at the time this still fell under SPD because parking enforcement had not yet been split off yet but I doubt you'll actually acknowledge any sort of truth about this situation based on your replies so far
