Why is the Parkland cop who did nothing while students were slaughtered being given an $8,702 a month pension?
This coward is getting a huge pension at the expense of taxpayers after he failed in his duties.

This morning in a town outside Chicago a 19 yo former student decided to shoot at people in the gym in a high school. Fourtinatly he was a lousey shot and didn't hit anybody. A cop who was not hiding behind his car heard the shots and went to investigate. When the shooter saw the cop he ran, the cop ran after him. The kid turned and fired at him, again Fortunatly he was a lousey shot. The cop wasn't and shot the shooter. The shooter in not dead but in the hospital. Has it been in the news? Good guy with a gun shoots a bad guy with a gun? Nope, doesn't fit the neritive.

Yes, it seems nothing else goes on in the world. But if the shooter had hit a few people it would have been on the news for weeks.

@patkaren1717 wow, what world do you live in? I hope your earning capacity is somewhere near what you believe it should be. Do a Google for average US salary. Thenaveragensalary listed by the US Department of commerce for someone with a doctorate degree, is $81K! LESS that the sheriff's officer will make in his retirement!

@samueltyler2 Average means nothing, just as someone with a Doctorate. It is what you do with the brains God gave you. If you want to live in a nice home have nice things in life take vacations 90k does not make it. That is the real world.

@SimplyTracie He wasn't fired. He resigned following his suspension.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@SuicideBiProxy2 Well he should have been fired.

Forget about what he did or did not do. Why was he entitled to retirement which far exceeded the average salary of a worker in the US?
patkaren1717 · 41-45, M
@samueltyler2 It does not matter the amount. That is what he was told he would get. 90k a year is not a lot a year.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@patkaren1717 I don't know how much your salary is, but, to me $90k a year is a very good, very high salary.
patkaren1717 · 41-45, M
@samueltyler2 90k is mot much at the price of homes and life in general.
patkaren1717 · 41-45, M
Because that is the contract the taxpayers signed on to.

@SuicideBiProxy2 I do not do my job 100% on most days and most other people don"t do them either.

@patkaren1717 When you quit tomorrow after messing up, you don't get an 8.7K pension at the taxpayers' expense.

@patkaren1717 As a nurse I had to do my job and do it well every second of every day. My governing board does not treat nurses who are negligent with kid gloves. They take your license and you can be prosecuted.

@IstillmissEP They weren't ordered to stand down.

At no level in government is anyone ever held accountable for not doing their job or not doing it properly. The police might usually be the one exception, but apparently not this time.

How was he a coward? Because he didn't blindly rush into an unknown situation with unknown assailants, possibly endangering the lives of students to an even greater degree?
It's no department's policy to act like a spontaneous fool. And if you were somehow privy to the report on the Parkland situation and his actions, please do share with the class.

@SuicideBiProxy2 In reality, I'm going to guess you are not and have never been a law enforcement officer.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@SuicideBiProxy2 Well, life must be simple, then, knowing the details to situations you've never been a part of.

@FloorGenAdm How do you figure that ? He was one of those “good guys with guns” we’re told we need to protect us from the “bad guys with guns”. He wasn’t just Joe Citizen who happened to be armed.

@bijouxbroussard I hope the families of the victims take it all.

@SuicideBiProxy2 Easy there, unarmed isn't reason alone to say a police shooting is unjustified.
Though yeah, there is no good reason to allow police to unionize. It just begs for disaster.
