Responding to reports of an intoxicated man asleep in the middle of the road, a Meriden, Connecticut police officer said, flatly, “I think we oughta just f***ing pop him.”

Though the incident was captured on video by dash camera and audio by body cam, it was only released on Thursday following a Freedom of Information Act request by the Record-Journal. Slepski received a 60-day suspension as a result of the interaction and subsequent Internal Affairs investigation. Slezak received a five-day suspension, though Detective John Williams, president of the police union, said Slezak had filed a grievance over the disciplinary action.
