OK, not condoning what he is accused of doing; but what ever happened to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty? Unless I am missing something, he is still only accused of these acts. How can the SAPD fire someone just for being accused? Where is SAPOA? Sorry, until he is convicted, he still has rights...
Now, once he has been convicted, all of the above is moot. But at this time, even in an 'at will' state, he will likely have legal recourse for his dismissal. I guess the San Antonio government doesn't care about another lawsuit that will require them to hand over taxpayers' money for their mistakes...
I think they have been very aware of this situation, and it appears it is not in doubt that he beat her resulting the injuries in those pics. I've seen a couple of other articles on it.
