Topic	Cop pulls gun on convenience store customer over pack of Mentos they'd paid for
Zeus 05/08/18 1:12:41 AM #54:	LinkPizza posted... As much as I hate to admit it, it's kinda true. That being said, my mom said they are firing people for more things now, like really racist remarks... Yeah, they've fired cops over remarks and social media posts -- many of which are stories Ducky posted -- so the idea that they never get fired is bullshit. Smallville posted... Rasmoh posted... While the cop was very clearly in the wrong by the sound of it, I hate that the automatic course of action is to sue. so? maybe most people in this situation would sue, and i really don't blame this guy for suing I seriously doubt most people would sue. If it happened to me, I know I'd just want to put the thing behind me. Rasmoh posted... Smallville posted... If it is fair that the guy get's compensated then it's fair. I feel sorry for taxpayers but maybe this will cause change and better hiring. How do you determine a fair amount of innocent taxpayer money to compensate someone due to hurt feelings? And how is this supposed to result in "better hiring"? What if this is the first time this officer has ever done anything like this? Do you genuinely think you can weed out every officer that might make a bad decision ever? Pretty much this. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:900980315] in Cop pulls ...
