Ferman stopped Williams for driving around traffic barricades and would later learn he should not have been driving at all due to a suspended license. After Williams refused to provide his name, Ferman moved to arrest him and not long after Williams got out of his vehicle, Ferman repeatedly tased him. Melvinale just paid $1 million to settle a police tasing lawsuit. Then the insurance company said, "Yeah, we're out." Only after that did the department finally fire Lieutenant Matthew Ferman for cause. And if you think that's accountability, wait for it. The police union is now filing a grievance to fight the firing. So let's recap. A man gets tased. Taxpayers pay a million dollars. Insurance walks. The cop gets fired. And the system still tries to save him. Thin blue lies, baby.
