Omaha police officers fired after investigation; criminal charges possible
By Juan Perez Jr. and Maggie O'Brien / World-Herald staff writers


Four Omaha police officers — including a sergeant — have been fired following the controversial arrest of three brothers in north Omaha.

Three additional officers have been placed on administrative leave, Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said Friday. An eighth officer has been reassigned from his or her normal duties.

“I also knew regardless of my findings, public trust has been damaged, and I needed to take steps to restore that public trust,” the chief said Friday. “Many of the police actions that took place that day are in violation of our policies and do not represent how I want our officers to carry themselves.”

1. I sure hope they stay fired

and face criminal charges. I only wish that I could see the looks on their faces when they found out that they didn't get all the video of their actions.
