Quote:Cop gets punished for failing to shoot and kill a black man
Quote:In a long feature article, ProPublica in partnership with PBS FRONTLINE’s podcast series, The FRONTLINE Dispatch, chronicles the story of a police officer who was fired after an encounter with a distraught black man. The cop was discharged for failing to shoot him. Another officer who arrived at the scene shot the man dead.
The article tells the story of Stephen Mader, a young rookie officer called on the scene in Weirton, West Virginia. A vet who’d served in Afghanistan, Mader joined the police department in what was referred to by civic leaders as one of the safest small cities in America.
