Police Vacation pay

[freeringo]

This irkes the crap out of me.

I saw the news where a disabled man (deaf and mute) was sick in the bathroom of a store and after abit of time the store employee calls the police.
The police show up and the disabled guy trys to convey to them that he is deaf and mue and the police pepper spray him and taser him.
He was arrested and the police claim that he had an umbrella that was laying on the floor (a cheap pop up one) could have been used as a weapon.
The police are now being sued and the cops involved are put on paid leave until this is resolved.

The cops get a vacation and the tax payers get to pay out a huge lawsuit.

Is this becoming an intentional game to these cops, so they can get a paid vacation?

well thats how they do it unless it was a shooting that killed someone like the Bart shooting on new years. all state and county employees have the same as for stuff like that. its a union thing dont blame the state blame the union.
