The five officers fired in the death of Jim Rogers are now fighting that decision.The president of the Fraternal Order of Police told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 that the union has filed for arbitration in the case.Rogers died back in October, one day after police used a taser on him during an arrest.Along with the five officers fired in the case, three others were disciplined. Rogers’ family filed a lawsuit this week against the officers, EMS personnel and the city of Pittsburgh over his death. The lawsuit said Rogers had a long history of mental illness, and he was unarmed at the time.According to the lawsuit, Officer Keith Edmonds used a stun gun on Rogers nine or 10 times. Rogers repeatedly requested medical help but no officers or EMS personnel responded.The lawsuit says officers failed to take Rogers to nearby West Penn Hospital and instead headed toward the jail. He was eventually taken to Mercy Hospital, where he died the next day."Officer Edmonds' brutal attack on Mr. Rogers through the repeated use of a taser on an unarmed, nonviolent, older gentleman was without cause or justification and undertaken recklessly, wantonly and with gross negligence," the lawsuit said.A spokesperson for Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey said the filing of a lawsuit will allow the city to turn over police bodycam video to the Rogers family.Attorneys for the Rogers family and the officers named in the lawsuit declined to comment.
