When you read the article it kind of looks like a perfect storm of two assholes colliding.

My understanding is that the police were called there because they thought the guy in the chair had a gun. They found out he didn't but did have a knife. Everything was done and over and they let him go and he drove over the cops foot and cop pushed him down.

Of course, only the guy will ever know if he really meant to hit the cop. I think he had some attitude and was likely trying to drive close to him (maybe brush against his leg) as he left. My mom has one of those chairs and they can turn on a dime if you need them to. I don't think he was expect the cop to react like that. The cop sees him coming and does nothing to get out of the way so it is almost like a game of chicken.

Regardless of the guy's intention, the cop clearly overreacted. I would have been fine with him getting fired and,in all honesty, I'm fine with him not getting fired. Those chairs are very heavy. It may have hurt to have his foot run over and he reacted in the heat the moment. Still, his reaction was inappropriate and he deserved to be punished, but (at least as far as the article says) it doesn't seem like this guy has a history of this kind of stuff and he is now working in administration.
