Bailey’s announcement also follows an Associated Press investigation that found several deputies who were involved with the episode were also linked to at least four violent encounters with Black men since 2019 that left two dead and another with lasting injuries.

And the punishment is losing their job in one singular jurisdiction.

The sadder part is its probably only now. Its not that rare to have cops rehired in the same jurisdiction once the heat dies down and possible be eligible for backpay.
