Re: [RC] automatic sanctions - Joe LongOn Mon, 27 Oct 2003 15:26:20 -0800, "Roberta Jo Lieberman" <kindredspiritrjl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: terre wrote: There has been considerable comment about "guilt" and "punishing theinnocent"---I think you are looking at this the wrong way. Consider this: You could compare this with what happens when a police officer shoots somebody; they have an automatic suspension (desk duty) until the incident has been investigated. Okay then, to maintain the parallel, just let the person ride for completion (not placing) only until the investigation is complete. I expected someone to bring this up, but the two situations are not really parallel. A police officer is a public safety employee, authorized to use deadly force in specific situations. When an officer shoots someone, he was deliberately trying to kill him. Such extraordinary circumstances make some kind of reassignment necessary until the shooting is properly investigated, but that is normally just assignment to different duties, with full pay. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
