HPD Officer Seong Kim was reinstated to the force after being fired for allegedly intimidating customers with his Taser at a Wal-Mart where he worked security. The department is also awarding him full back pay.
This information comes to me courtesy of his brother. As I've been friends with both men for over ten years, I thought y'all might like to know, since it doesn't look like either KHOU or KTRK, two of the fine local news stations who so happily reported the firing in the first place, appear inclined to issue a follow-up story.
I'm in a difficult position here, because I believe that Wal-Mart customers should be indiscriminately tasered. In fact, I'll award him full back pay + 10% if it's true, which it obviously wasn't.
As for retractions, ask Sylvester Turner about how that works out.
