The way it's supposed to work is via due process, not by politicians pulling
strings. Do you really want politicians going around the usual disciplinary
process and getting people fired not on the basis of evidence and a fair
hearing, but because someone powerful wants the guy gone? This is about
more than one cop who happens to be a jerk, it's about whether politicians
have to follow the same rules as the rest of us.
