I don't know all the details, but it seems he was punished anyway. Now he can file a wrongful dismissal suite.

SSG Pete Fleming - probably not, Minnesota is an "at will" state, meaning that unless he has a contract, the employer can fire him for any reason or no reason at all. In addition, although not guilty in a criminal trial means that he won't go to prison, the employer is not held to the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard of criminal trials.

Yanez is likely never going to work as a police officer again.

there is a vast difference between criminal wrongdoing and wrongdoing sufficient to have your badge and gun taken away.

Not having been at the scene and having eyewitnessed the events that took place. I must rely on the decision of the jury to be the proper outcome of the trial. Living in the TV market of the twin cities, I have been following the story from the beginning.

There is a great divide in the community as to the officer in question being found innocent on all counts in the death of Philando Castille. A rally is scheduled for 7:00 pm CST tonight in support of Castille in the cities. Only time will tell the reaction of the community. I hope it will be a peaceful gathering tonight.
