But residents expressed concern more wasn’t being done to punish the officers involved. According to Fortune, the sergeant in charge has been demoted two ranks and temporarily removed from patrol but will not be fired. The officer seen pepper-spraying Puente will face no punishment after the department determined he was only following orders. “If you are told to do wrong, that doesn’t mean you have to do wrong,” said Marco Puente. Puente said he believes considerable work needs to be done to rebuild trust with the community and urged other residents to be vocal about their concerns. “The first step has been done, the apology by the chief and these promises, that’s step one – step two is action,” said Puente.
