More details from the Herald today.
According to Mike Kirsch’s lawyer, Michael Tien, witnesses are contradicting the police officer’s version of events and a yet unreleased audio tape has the officer cussing although it’s not clear if that was directed at Kirsch or at his u-turn or what. The police officer allegedly walked towards Mike’s car cussing and he got out to calm her down which is when the whole altercation happened.
Tien also says Kirsch almost got tasered but police backup arrived in time and prevented that from happening.

So, The Herald fires Mike Kirsch because the cops (who he was investigating) accuse him of misconduct. The Herald fires him BEFORE his case is adjudicated. Nice. Go Herald….yeah, quite the paper.
Not.
