Not only was Officer Jeronimo Yanez acquitted on all charges in the murder of Philando Castile, but he will leave his department $48,500 richer, according to The Associated Press. It’s a part of a separation agreement with his police department, HuffPost explains. The City of St. Anthony, Minn. said in a statement: “A reasonable voluntary separation agreement brings to a close one part of this horrible tragedy. The City concluded this was the most thoughtful way to move forward and help the community-wide healing process proceed.” Amazing.
