That’s all well and good until you get out there. I’ve been an avid watcher of the news all week.
When I was in college, I was very interested in the story of a young man who was arrested and charged with a crime. He was a pretty good shooter, but I was still curious how the police would help him get to the scene. I wasn’t really interested in the crime scene, and there was nothing I could do about it. I just went and got a free copy of the police report. That’s all.
Of course, I should have spent more time reading that report. It was written while he was in the hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm. The cops did everything they could to help him get back to his job at the time (which is a really good thing), but in the end it didn’t work. He tried to get back to his job by going back to the scene of the crime, but it was too late. He was arrested and charged with a crime.
Yeah, so much for that “all cops are corrupt” line. In Austin, Texas, a police officer stopped a car on suspicion that it was used in a crime. He found the driver, who was a convicted felon, and arrested him. He was not charged with a crime, but it does seem like there was some sort of conflict between the cop and the convicted felon.
There are a few things to note about this case. The officer, a sergeant, was not supposed to be on duty, but he had volunteered to come to the scene to handle the drunk driver’s case, a violation of a city policy. He was not disciplined, but according to the department website, he was “not reprimanded,” which means he was not fired, but the department chose not to pay him the $50 he earned.
This is not the first time that Austin has been accused of something that wasn’t even a crime. A former member of his police department, who was fired for not being disciplined, has accused the former Austin police chief of lying about the way he handled the officer’s case. The former Austin police chief was also fired for doing the same thing.
There is also the possibility that the official complaint is just bogus, and that the police department has decided not to do anything about it, but instead just want to move on with their life and not be bothered by anything. This is the case for Austin’s former police chief, who has been charged with a number of serious crimes that are under investigation by the Austin Police Department. That’s probably the reason for the department not taking the case to court, though the department could still decide to fire him.
When a police department makes an official complaint against one of their employees, they are required to take the complaint to court. If the complaint isn’t “just bogus,” and there isn’t a case against the employee, then they don’t have to take any action. But when the department refuses to take the complaints and just wants to move on, it could look like they’re just a bunch of cowards.
It’s a good thing he didnt press charges or go to court, because if he had a case against him, there would have been no need for him to press charges, and if his case didnt go to court, the department wouldnt have been on the hook for his firing.
I agree that going to court, or, at the very least, speaking with the employee, is a good idea. Getting an employee fired will just look bad on the department, and the department will likely be more likely to fire you if you talk to them.
