Cheektowaga cop decked a supervisor but couldn't be fired

The union contended that other officers accused of serious wrongdoing in recent years had not been fired. Cheektowaga officers accused of driving while intoxicated, fighting in bars and disabling the GPS systems in their patrol cars had kept their jobs, according to evidence presented to the arbitrator.
