(CNN) -- A uniformed Philadelphia police officer seen in an online video striking a woman after he was hit by a liquid will be fired, the city's police commissioner announced Wednesday.
Lt. Jonathan Josey will be suspended first for 30 days, effective Thursday, "with the intent to dismiss," according to a release from Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey's office.
Josey could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, the district attorney dropped a disorderly conduct charge against the woman shown on the video, Aida Guzman, Wednesday afternoon.
the bad cop is going to be fired. Good!
she was sprying silly string. though not at the officers. though not that it matters. it wouldn't have justified the assault on her. though it would the charges (witch were dropped)
he woman, wearing a black shirt and jeans, is on the left side of the video and has a can in her left hand. The woman raises her left arm as she hops around behind one of the officers. The woman sprayed "Silly String" near the officers but didn't hit them, Latoison said.
Good news, justice prevailed after all and I hope she sues him.
