The officer wasn’t completely left in the dark after the initial announcement because medical expenses related to his on-duty injury continued being covered through disability insurance andRantz spoke with Bereta about his recovery on The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH Tuesday.“What are your general thoughts?” Rantz asked. “I mean it feels like, in a lot of ways, this could have been a little bit more open so you wouldn’t have had to go to the media, we wouldn’t have had to cover this at all.
Rantz brought up that the last time Bereta was on his show, he had some harsh words for the City of Bellevue. “I don’t think so,” Bereta replied. “I think that going forward maybe if they make some changes quicker than what they did in this situation, it can change, but I’m glad they came to their senses and provided and did the right thing.”
