TEXAS TROOPER WHO ARRESTED SANDRA BLAND FACES PERJURY CHARGE, COULD LOSE JOB

It is clear that Officer Jeronimo Yanez (the trooper) was not in control, was nervous and acted in a reckless, willful and wanton fashion.

He was put on trial, found innocent (no surprise) but was fired from his position as a trooper.

That is incorrect. He had a guy with a gun, who was reaching for an unknown object while disregarding repeated commands (with increasing urgency) to not do so. Any other police officer would have reacted in the same way.

He wasn't fired. They paid him an undisclosed sum of money to leave his job voluntarily.

Yanez wasn't qualified mentally to be in the field and obviously didn't cut it as a cop.

You can hear the victim clearly saying he isn't reaching for anything.

"Officer safety" has become a buzzword for killing people. It's a dangerous job, which means sometimes you might be in danger. You can't shoot everyone because you are in fear.
