HPD officer suspended for alleged Taser abuse

KTRK-13 reports that an HPD officer is in trouble for alleged Taser abuse:

A Houston police officer accused of using his Taser for intimidation has been fired.

Officer Seong Kim was suspended indefinitely Friday. Kim had worked an extra job at a Wal-Mart in southwest Houston. It was there, according to police records, Kim used his Taser to intimidate three customers.

He's been fired.

No, he's been suspended.

Which is it?

KHOU-11's Jeff McShan says the officer has been suspended:

Kim, who has been with HPD since June 2002, was immediately suspended. If the allegations prove to be true, he could be fired.

Maybe KTRK will get that corrected for the 10 pm broadcast.
