Re: Retired Army Vet Gets $15,000 From City
This is a tricky problem. Officers should bear the burden of their own misconduct, like many of the rest of us have had to do. OTOH, given to fast decision making and uncertainty surrounding many of the situations they face, it might not be good thing to have an officer hesitating while (s)he mulls over possible financial angles. It's one thing to risk your life and quite another to risk your paycheck or pension.
