Police conducted an internal affairs investigation, and Chief Thomas Smith recently decided to terminate Gorans and suspend Zilge for 30 days, sources said. However, the discipline isn't final because the officers are going through the union grievance process and they remain listed as St. Paul police employees.

Jeff Martin, St. Paul NAACP president, said Monday that he thinks the officers should lose their jobs.

"As a taxpayer in St. Paul, I don't want that type of officer protecting and serving my interests," he said.

St. Paul Police Federation attorney Chris Wachtler said in a statement that officers in the case were "dealing with a known dangerous individual who refused to follow directives, at a time when very dangerous conditions posed a threat to officer
safety."

Gorans was the subject of an earlier internal affairs investigation that concluded he used excessive force in a 2010 arrest. The man arrested sued the city, which settled the suit in 2012 for $249,000.

Smith suspended Gorans for three days after the internal investigation, writing in a May 2012 letter about that case: "Your actions displayed not only conduct unbecoming a St. Paul police officer, but actions that indicate a lack of self-control. ... Future acts of the same, or similar, behavior will result in increased discipline up to and including termination."

I'd be willing to take pepper spray to the ear for $249,000 ANY DAY!!!
