properly handled, that incident(the traffic one), will result in a more fully trained officer. We dont consider an officer "fully trained" for 4 or 5 years. If your reaction was to demand limits on officers acting in an off duty capacity for traffic infractions, or to insist that he be punished in a meaningful way, like a short unpaid suspension, then I would agree. but fired, for doing something he is trained to do, having appearantly forgotten he isnt in a marked car? extreme.
you dont fire an investment broker the first time he loses money. If you terminated people for errors, even major ones, you would soon have only transitional employees.
