According to the Seattle Times, The City of Kent has decided to buy out the contract of former assistant police chief Derek Kamerzell for 1.5 million dollars. Kammerzell was said to have posted a Nazi rank symbol above his office door.
A two week suspension without pay angered the community and a second attempt to discipline Kammerzell brought about litigation from Kammerzell's union attorneys, which could have possibly resulted in Kammerzell winning his job back with backpay returned.
The city's buyout, though unsavory on so many levels, will give it a chance to move past this ugly chapter.
The dope gets 1.5 million for some stupid crap that does not even matter.
