Re: Off-duty HPD officer shoots 2 during fight after leaving

Interesting - a new story posted at 1:35 PM CST Feb 19th says that the officer was leaving a party at 5:30AM. The orginal story posted earlier that day says he was leaving Sherlock's Bar and Pub at 2:00AM. Very strange indeed. :???:

It's the same for a taxpayer who gets fired because they violated their employer's policy.

Like I said. Getting fired is different than getting arrested and charged.
It's the same for a taxpayer
I am not quite sure what you mean. Of course getting arrested versus getting fired is different. What I am saying is that getting fired for violating a company policy can mean more that just losing your job. In addition to just losing your current job, there can be future consequences.

We are talking 51% signs, not 30.06. For an LEO who violates departmental policy, it amounts to pretty much the same thing. He probably won't get charge or arrested, but the chances are his career as an LEO is finished.
