\n The four cops fired over the death of George Floyd stand a good chance of getting their jobs back if the police union app<\/a>eals their dismissals, records show.<\/p>\n

The Minneapolis Police Federation has a string of wins in getting terminations reversed by arbitrators \u2014 six out of eight since 2006, according to NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a letter to members, the union\u2019s president signaled that he was working to get the officers reinstated. All four ex-cops are also facing criminal charges, including murder.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were fired without due process,\u201d wrote the president, Lt. Bob Kroll.<\/p>\n

The union didn\u2019t respond to a request about what the stance is now on the officers.<\/p>\n

Of the eight firings, arbitrators dismissed two and reinstated six, according to an NBC review of Minnesota Bureau of Media<\/a>tion Services records.<\/p>\n

Three of the reinstatements stand out: One cop punched a handcuffed man in the face several times, breaking his nose. Another pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge stemming from a fight with his wife. And a third was fired, reinstated, fired again \u2014 for allegedly kicking a teenager in the head \u2014 and reinstated again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat case might be more egregious than most, but it\u2019s not at all far-fetched in the world of law enforcement labor,\u201d said Andy Skoogman, executive director of the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association. \u201cIt\u2019s maddening, and the general<\/a> public should be outraged.\u201d<\/p>\n

For criminal justice experts, arbitration plays an outsized role in keeping officers accused of serious misconduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say this is one of the most important accountability issues,\u201d said Stephen Rushin, a Loyola University Chicago law professor who published a\u00a0study on arbitration in 2018.\u00a0\u201cIf you can\u2019t remove bad officers, it\u2019s going to be really hard to improve a police organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Minneapolis police union estimated that only a couple of cases a year go to arbitration and pointed out that research shows arbitrators uphold police firings at about the same rate \u2014 roughly 50% \u2014 as other types of public employees.<\/p>\n

For Skoogman, those statistics drive home point that the system is flawed.<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine running any business and you have to allow 50% of the people you\u2019ve fired to come back in and work in your business,\u201d he said. \u201cIt sends the completely wrong message that you can do whatever you want and you\u2019re not going to get fired.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave Bicking, a former member of the Minneapolis civilian police review board, believes \u201cit\u2019s very likely\u201d the officers would be reinstated if the union opts to defend them, but the opportunity may never come depending on what happens in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question is, will they be convicted?\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
