Yes, firing the officer is the standard way to avoid actually doing anything meaningful about the violation. The perp normally moves right into another police force, and gets to leave behind their abuses file. The only response that has a chance of an effect is to file murder charges against the officer; so, anything else is nothing more than PR.

Do you expect the mayor and head of police of one city to take on the entire hierarchy themselves?
That’s rather like expecting collective action by the public; ha!
40%-ish of jobs are at home. Keep your laptop closed today.
It’s not a moral failure on the part of Louisville leadership. Their roles are well defined by law and precedent.
Legislative capture is the problem, fueled entirely by public indifference.

Since when do you need a lot of excuses to stop state officials from indiscriminately murdering anyone without absolutely no consequence?
