There doesn't have to be a crime, dumbass. Excessive Use of Force is a cause for termination, just one of many, most of which are not crimes.They won't charge him because there's no evidence of a crime.They don't have to charge with a damn thing in order to fire him and be fully within their rights for his use of excessive force.There wasn't enough evidence to charge him, what he did wrong was never specified, all of this is great fodder for the upcoming lawsuit. They should charge him with a crime just for liability sake, but when they lose in his criminal trial, it will boost his civil lawsuit all the more, so they won't.Dummy, that's what he was fired for, and that and racism are what the potential Civil Rights violation are based on.It's called Excessive Use of Force, AKA, Police Brutality:
"Excessive force. The frequency of police use-of-force events that may be defined as justified or excessive is difficult to estimate [2]. There is no national database of officer-involved shootings or incidents in which police use excessive force. Most agencies keep such records, but no mechanism exists to produce a national estimate.
A Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) analysis of national data on citizen complaints about use of force found that in large departments (those with 100 or more sworn officers), the complaint rate for police use of force was 6.6 complaints per 100 sworn officers. Of these complaints, 8 percent had sufficient evidence to take disciplinary action against the officer [3]. NIJ is currently funding a study of the validity and reliability of the BJS data.

None of that was alleged and he certainly isn't facing any charges for it. Sounds like the sack is empty.
Proof is in the pudding, pop.
