Possible rape charges against an officer with the Morton Police Department are being considered by the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office.
A charging decision had not been made as of …
No way, paperwork is still important and could be manipulated, leave is the best course of action imo.
Also being in the office at all can cause problems for both his reputation (if ultimately found innocent) and how other people feel.
If the work is meaningless then it’s just wasteful anyway and shouldn’t be done in the first place. If the work is meaningful, it shouldn’t be done by someone under investigation.
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.
Cops don’t have “better unions,” they have criminal unions. They’re not like other unions — much more powerful, protective of active criminals long as they have a badge — and deserve no support, no matter how pro-union anyone might be.
The root problem: Police are nearly worshipped in American society, to the point that not giving them everything they ask for is considered “weak on crime,” and can cost the Mayor his/her job.
Pretending they’re a union like other unions makes the problem worse.

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.
