Cleveland Officer Under Investigation for Not Aiding Other Cops in Struggle

A Cleveland TV station has obtained video showing a city police officer saying he won’t help other officers deal with a dangerous man because he doesn’t want to end up under investigation.
The video comes from a call in November for a man having a mental health crisis. A group of officers tried to talk him into coming out of a house. A police report shows he made threats to officers and made other bizarre statements. That led to a struggle with police on the porch, Fox 8 reports.
During the struggle, one officer calmly walked down the street to get an ambulance crew. He can be heard telling paramedics, "I don't want to go hands on. I don't want none of that cause I don't want to…be under investigation."
The officer is now facing internal discipline for the incident. A disciplinary hearing has been held. But there’s been no decision yet.

So, he ended up under investigation anyway. Perhaps bad planning on his part?
Fire his ass.
That officer needs to take off the badge and go home. Good luck finding a partner for the rest of your career.
