The officer was fined $500 and lost 60 vacation days, "which is worth about $25,000 in pay." He was also placed on modified duty. I'm trying to imagine any other profession in which you could use company resources to harass a private citizen for the better part of a year and still have a job.
And also per Hellgate/streetsblog “Sullivan admitted in a deposition to bullying the Jewish ex-cop with pictures of Hitler and prompts to "txt the jew every 45 min."” Bet we can guess his other beliefs and how they translate into policing too. Rotten from t to b
Anyway, if you want to reform the police, start with making them park legally. Parking is truly the tip of the iceberg. If they're willing to break such a seemingly insignificant law out in the open (which it's not, given the accessibility issues) imagine what they do behind closed doors!
Bringing back my "would a security guard at Google get fired for this?" metric for when police should be fired.
Calling said citizen a "customer" puts an fern finer point on it.
None. There’s none. This shows the purpose of cops is to afflict society.
There is no job where you can harass your customers or general public and not get fired.
60 vacation days sounds like a lot but they get 27 vacation days per year on top of *unlimited sick leave *. I’m not even angry, I just think we should all get that deal.
Is a ten-month harassment campaign even legal for anybody other than a cop? I'd certainly *expect* jail time if roles were reversed.
