Total steroid case.

[WestIndianArchie]

8. Well

He could be given one of those right-wing nutbag shows.

11. six week paid vacation while they perform an internal investigation?

...which inevitably will find he did nothing wrong.

Actually, someone needs a new job. They've obviously burned out on this one.

A Connecticut state trooper has been put on leave after he was captured on camera profanely berating a motorist during a traffic stop.

The trooper, Matthew Spina, pulled over the driver, Kevin A. Jette, on Monday after Jette allegedly sped past him on Interstate 95 near New Haven as Spina was pursuing another car for speeding.

The video, which has been viewed more than 300,000 times, shows the tense exchange that ensued. The trooper becomes irate after Jette questions him about the stop. “Who the f--- do you think you are worrying about what I’m doing?” Spina can be heard saying.

The video also shows Spina making Jette exit the car and briefly puts him in handcuffs after seeing something related to marijuana. Jette can be heard telling the trooper that he has a license for medicinal marijuana. Spina searches a bag inside the car before allowing Jette to leave.

6. More like a paid vacation

They'll wait until things die down, then they'll bring his roided ass back and probably give him a raise.

4. This asshole needs to be fired, period

No desk job, no paid leave, nothing. NOT ONE FUCKING THING.

He gets oissed off because a trucker flipped him off?

Fuck him.

And take his fucking pension.

7. Holy crap!

This cop was insane.

[Fla Dem]

9. Around 4:14 he states he only has 14 months left in the job and he can't wait.

10. "Administrative leave" is code for "paid vacation."

There are rarely any consequences for their actions. If they are sued, and in the unlikely event that a judgement is entered, the tax payers pay it, not them.

In the rare instance where the conduct is bad enough to force their superiors to get rid of them, they are allowed to resign and keep accrued pension benefits. If they are actually fired they can usually get hired by another law enforcement agency nearby.
