Minneapolis Police Officer who threatened a Somali teen got fired!

.. he apparently lost his job!

MINNEAPOLIS (KSMP) - Following a 9-month investigation, a Minneapolis police officer swearing and threatening on camera to break a teen's legs during a traffic stop has been fired. Now, the police union is planning to fight it.

In the video, the teen asks, “Can you tell me why I am being arrested?” -- Webber responds, “Because I feel like it.”

The incident happened in south Minneapolis last March when 17-year-old Hamza Jeylani hit record on his cell phone before being handcuffed. Jeylani, along with three young men, were suspected of grand theft auto but were eventually let go that day. The clip went viral and led to Weber's paid administrative leave and 9-month internal investigation.

Ward 5 councilman Blong Yang chairs the city's public safety committee and said the termination happened over of a code of conduct violation but would not elaborate -- “We can't really talk about much of the details, it's still an open case,” he said.

Minneapolis Police Union president Bob Kroll released a brief statement that said," the board is reviewing the case but I am confident that we will appeal the termination as it's unwarranted."

Charles Samuelson, with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), said he wants to know what motivated the officer to respond this way, and hopes the firing leads to change.

“It is refreshing to see that there are consequences for actions like this. But perhaps it will be a useful lesson for not only other peace officers, but a community as a whole,” Samuelson said.

I am on the police officers side on this one. They matched the description of suspects who were breaking into and stealing from cars.

If i know Somalis, they probably mouthed off to the cop also, and the cop got sarcastic with them.

The video only shows the part where the officer said those words. I'd like to know what happened before they hit the record button.

They set that officer up. Give the man back his job.
