So wait, let me get this straight, this cop who caused this guy to miss saying goodbye to his mother in law because he had cop balls gets suspended with pay.. Which means he will get a check the next 2 Fridays and he does not need to lift a finger to earn this pay and you people are happy about it and giving thumbs up?

The guy obviously needs a break. Paid? No. It should be punishment. He lost touch with his job and humanity. He should also need to take a course or two.
Running to the hospital? I bet this happens more often than we hear about. This guy was lucky his story made it to the media.

That's even more retarded then what this guy did.
It's a suspension that goes on his permanent record. Not enough punishment by any stretch but it's something. We all know cops tend to protect their own, and unless the guy did something extreme like actually cause someone's death thru his own cop-on-a-powertrip negligence they are just going to give him a slap on the wrist... which is what I expected in this case.
BUT... if he ever does anything this ignorant and stupid again, this is still on his record, and at that time I would expect stronger measures taken... probably in the order of giving him a desk job somewhere away from the public.
Yeah, I saw on tv that it's paid leave. Why the hell do they do that? It must be very long standing "policy" that never comes up for public review or debate. Because no matter how terrible a story is, it's always paid leave. I wonder if he sent in a thank you card for the bonus time off.
They rarely fire their own and these paid leaves are usually banked vacation time anyway, so it's a media holiday.
My buddy/old college roomate died in custody last year, they picked him up on a lawn passed out after a neighbor had called the police saying there was a drunk guy and he wasn't moving. They picked him up unconscious and instead of seeking medical attention they tossed him on the floor of a drunk tank and left him for 11 hours, when they finally checked on him he was foaming at the mouth and dead. Last week they were cleared of all wrong doing and negligence and they wont release the names of the officers on duties that night. Thankfully our other college roomy is a Lawyer and they are launching a civil case.
