A Buffalo, New York, officer who was terminated in 2008 after trying to stop a fellow policeman from putting a black man in a chokehold won access to her pension Tuesday after a yearslong fight.
The New York Supreme Court decided that former officer Cariol Horne will receive a pension equivalent to 20 years of work in law enforcement following the city s passage of Cariol s Law.
The law includes a provision that allows an officer who was retroactively terminated for reporting the objectively unreasonable use of force against a civilian or intervening to stop the use of objectively unreasonable force by a fellow officer to be allowed to contest the situation in court.
