This was in hellhole Arizona so he might get actually paid. See: pig who murdered Daniel Shaver

In August 2018, Brailsford was reinstated by the Mesa Police Department... The department agreed to reimburse Brailsford for medical expenses related to his post-traumatic stress disorder -- the result of his shooting of Shaver and the resultant criminal trial.

This is the kind of asshole who shoots someone at a routine stop for coughing.

To be clear, any lawful privilege to use (or threaten) deadly force ends when the cuffs are on.
