“Shimanek was demoted from sergeant to officer in September as a result of the arrest, though he could not comment further as it is the subject of a pending lawsuit.”
Shimanek is the cop who started this, and who pepper sprayed the dad.
"This is not Shimanek’s first offense at the Keller police department. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that in 2016, he “searched a woman’s home without permission and threatened to call Child Protective Services without just cause.” In 2018, he received a complaint for commenting about “women not carrying guns because they would not be able to protect the children during a school shooting.”
“The mayor declined to confirm the settlement amount was $200,000 but said the city itself would be limited to paying a $5,000 deductible. The Texas Municipal League, which insures cities, will pay the rest, he said.”
No one fired or charged, just some money paid out that will inevitably used to justify an even higher budget for the cops. The usual story.

Absolute disgrace. This guy is obviously an abusive domineering dickhead but that’s just the police standard frankly.
