Sacked means fired. And they were fired. The Feds may still charge them for obstruction.

Here's what's really fucked up, though: These cops charged their victim with three felonies (these articles don't say which ones) and later dropped them to two misdemeanors when the video came out, then dropped the charges entirely when it looked like they didn't have a case. None of the cops - including the one who left a domestic violence call to beat a man up for flipping him off as he passed - have been charged with anything. The only charges filed in this case have been bogus ones against the victim of police violence.

Please read the article. The police officer who beat the man up was charged and pled guilty. It was federal court and the charge has a maximum sentence of 10 years.
