    Then send him home without pay. Still better than most who would be fired on the spot.

    Getting paid for an extended vacation when accused of wrongdoing is bullshit. Just because he’s a cop shouldn’t give him special treatment.

      Why not change the way other professions handle it.

      Make it better for everyone instead of dragging the rest down.

      To add, the reason police have protections like this is because they have strong unions, the unions protect the workers. That is something that other jobs can also do, this isn’t a law, it’s a result of a negotiation.

        The reason police forces can do this is because they are over funded with tax payer money. You think they actually pay attention to their bottom line? They literally buy military equipment with their surplus.

        “Free paid vacation” is an extreme problem with police. You already said they are different, in that their work can be extremely sensitive. The stock boy at Walmart deals with… random items.
