Cops go through enough training that they know better than do do something this stupid like this. And maybe officer Reynolds should have gotten more than a slap on the wrist, but I don’t think his lack of good judgment here should have cost him his job.

I don’t know why he was “zapped”. He won’t have any troubles.

This is when the importance of discipline comes in. A Police offer must show good example for others to follow….

Sorry but I don’t think he was punished enugh
over here in England our police officers are above the law they are supposed to be protecting
test driving their car at over 150MPH in a 70 limit ended in a slapped rist
car chases where inocent bystanders are killed by car theives being pushed beyond their skills or to jump red lights and for what ??? the car is wrecked public put at risk and the officers are ticked off and back to do it again soon after
As to ” you try their job” that’s what they get paid for no one made them join the force and if they can’t cut it then they should resign I am sick of hearing of big payouts to people that were doing what they get paid for STRESS is part of that contract of employmoent

This officer exercised bad judgement, but they did the right thing regarding his discipline. Some stupid mistakes should cost you your job, but people make errors in judgement and if they aren’t racial or cause injury, people should be allowed to learn from their mistakes. Unless they keep making them.
He should have received some days on the street without pay in addition to the formal reprimand, but I don’t think they should have taken the guy’s job.

“zapping a willing participant in the genitals”… Good lord. This participant need be part of the “thinning the herd”. Idiot

“A formal reprimand”? OMG, this “man” (or whatever he is) should be suspended for a long, long time, not given a reprimand.
