There's a policy in place for situations like this. The officer failed to follow that policy. That failure alone seems like cause for disciplinary action. As noted, it wasn't a split second decision - he had plenty of time to re-think this and consider whether or not there was something else he should be doing. Doesn't reflect particularly good judgment, and in this case, he caused a bunch of suffering that wasn't necessary. If you're his supervisor, how are you not questioning his ability to do the job?
