Yes, be careful. It's like Beetlejuice. If you say that word 3 times on INGO, Kirk Freeman appears.

I don't think any of that. What I do know is that a civilian that is not a cop doesn't get a tax payer funded vacation.
A cop doesn't get a tax payer funded vacation, he gets to continue to draw a salary since, in many cases, their only income is the job. Is it fair for a cop to go bankrupt or for his family not to have any income while they wait for the investigation to be over? I see the optics of this and how it is perceived but put yourself in their shoes, how do they feed their families while they wait? Civilians can keep working while they wait.
Is it fair for the community to continue paying for a cop that is not serving them? If a civilian is working he is actually being productive. Cops are civilians they are not military.

Do you get fired from your job if you are pending investigation?
Maybe, maybe not. Depends on what I'm being investigated for. What I know for sure is that I won't be getting paid to sit at home and do nothing.

So what's your alternative?
Same thing as other people that want money for nothing, start a go fund me account.

Yes, yes it is. Its all part of the package you pay for. I mean do you have a problem paying firefighter's salaries when they aren't fighting fires? They sit around on those comfy couches all day waiting to get called out. Not sure my tax dollars should go to that. I say pay them when they are working!

If a policeman being investigated is at the station, then EVERYTHING that happens at, or goes through the police station will then become fodder for any lawyer working on a case.

Brickman I think you are being a bit absurd about this situation. Right or wrong there is a process. That process is followed to the letter so the law can be as well.
You are discussing this with a few LEO and a few lawyers. They are part of the process. They know and understand it.
Me thinks there are deeper issues here but that is for another thread.
