A Richfield police officer who was seen on video striking a Somali-American teenager in the fall of 2015 must be reinstated to the force, an independent arbitrator said Wednesday, and police officials in the first-ring suburb aren't happy about that.
Officer Nate Kinsey had been fired by the city of Richfield. Instead, the arbitrator said, he will serve a three-day suspension and again be a member of the department.
"We are extremely disappointed with the arbitrator's decision," Richfield Police Chief Jay Henthorne said in a news release Wednesday. "We do not agree with this decision nor do we condone this type of behavior.
