“The city of Kent in Washington will pay an assistant police chief more than $1.5 million to resign after he displayed a Nazi symbol on his office door and joked about the Holocaust.

For his actions, Derek Kammerzell had initially been disciplined with two weeks of administrative leave—which is supposed to come without pay—for harassment, discrimination, and conduct unbecoming of a police officer. But the 27-year veteran of the force used vacation time, which allowed him to receive pay despite the disciplinary action.

The $1.52 million settlement was reached between the city and Kammerzell’s legal team last week after four months of negotiations.

“While this is a substantial sum, we strongly believe that settling this matter will be a substantial step towards meeting our commitment to the community and continuing with the excellent work the police department is doing,” the city said in a statement."
