    The officer has been fired. The internal investigation actually did rule against him.

    The suspect, Marquis Jackson, has not as far as I know been offered anything but he likely has a very good case against the city with a combination of the publicly embarrassing footage and the official LEO determination of, in the investigation’s words, unreasonable excessive force.

        When the internal investigation concluded that he failed the standard for “objectively reasonable force” and therefore further concluded that he applied unreasonable excessive force, and he quit immediately without even attempting to fight the process, I consider that functionally a firing.
