[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 155721"] Steely - I'm so sorry. But, sadly, I'm not surprised. After working in municipal government, I have such a bad attitude when it comes to the police. They don't blink without their union rep and I'm sure this was no different. You're not crazy and I have a couple of stories to prove it. Before I tell you about an officer of the city I worked for that did get fired, let me tell you how hard it was to fire a union employee of the city. We had a firefighter come in on his day off with a gun to shoot the raccoons in the attic of one of the firehouses. He ended up accidentally shooting another firefighter in the butt. Not only did he not lose his job, when I left in 2002 he was a fire inspector. We had another firefighter/medic accused of molesting a patient. He was just demoted to firefighter - no longer a medic (I don't know what came of the accusation). So, when we had a police officer on administrative leave WITH pay for over 6 months we knew it had to be big. It was all very hush hush. I still don't know what he did. But after 6 months of paid admin leave, he was given a $54,000 payout to be fired. (!!!) Oops...I'm not supposed to tell that story. But, it was public funds, public record. Too bad. I'm so sorry that you bore the brunt of this. It's not right. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
