PHOENIX â A former Phoenix police officer, who was caught on camera kicking a handcuffed father s leg and threatening to shoot parents in the front of their kids, is still fighting to get his job back, nearly two years after the incident.
Later this month Christopher Meyer has another hearing, in his most recent attempt to overturn his 2019 firing. Meyer was a Phoenix cop for more than 24 years, but his decades on the force are defined by less than 24 minutes.
Internally, it was recommended that Meyer receive a six-week suspension, but Chief Jeri Williams said she made the decision to fire him because the trust was eroded and tarnished the brand of the Phoenix Police Department.
