"Mader was dumbstruck to have been handed a notice of termination, which indicated that his failure to shoot Williams, a young black father who was mentally ill, represented grounds for dismissal...
The notice of termination accused Mader of “negligence”. “[Patrolman] Mader’s failure to react left himself and those around him in grave danger,” it read.
On Wednesday, Mader filed a lawsuit against the city for wrongful termination. “When a police [officer] exercises restraint – and sometimes we don’t see that as much as we like to – that’s something that should be praised rather than punished,” said Mader’s attorney, Tim O’Brien."
