City officials in Boston are considering whether to appeal a judge's decision upholding an arbitrator's ruling that a Boston police officer must get his job back.

Officer David Williams was fired in 2012 amid allegations of lying and using excessive force in the arrest of former Middlesex County correction officer Michael O'Brien.

O'Brien's lawyer Howard Friedman joined Morning Edition's Deborah Becker to discuss.

This segment aired on July 24, 2015.
