In a statement, the spokesman said, “The conduct depicted is serious and inconsistent with the standards required of every member of this Department, whether on duty or off duty. Immediately upon learning of the incident, the Department relieved the Trooper seen striking the other Trooper from duty pending a formal duty-status hearing.
