In November of 2017, Weinman pleaded guilty to misdemeanor simple assault and misdemeanor “recklessly endangering another person.” She was sentenced to serve four years of probation and pay just under $10,000 in court costs and restitution."

It doesn't matter who or what she is LT, it's not even about her, it's about a man with a very clear temper problem using hugely excessive force (punching someone in the back of the head is never appropriate, for any reason, and your excuse for it and the bizarre assertation that he "didn't punch her" is baffling) and the fact that if he continues as a police officer he's going to get someone hurt. Might be a member of the public, might be himself, might be one of his co-workers when he escalates a situation to violence that could have been resolved without it. If you genuinely cared about the safety and wellbeing of police officers, over and above what amounts to just thinking that "criminals deserve it!!", then this would concern you. It should certainly concern his superiors and the people working with him - he has rightly been removed from active duty and plonked behind a desk pending review - and I hope he's not allowed back out on active duty without, at the very least, some significant anger management and conflict resolution training.
