A Colorado cop gets reinstated with back pay after what his police chief considered an “egregious” incident of excessive force. And once again — I argue in my new post at Cato — we are given reason to rethink the strange phenomenon of public employee tenure.
P.S. Scott Greenfield has more on job security for errant police officers.

I don’t think this is tenure as commonly understood. The issue with bad officers getting their jobs back is more a function of their union than anything else.
