Anyone who is a public employee, whether they work in law enforcement, street maintenance, or city administration is accountable for their actions to the public they work for. There is no reason to treat one sector any differently than another.

Never argue with the guy who gets to carry a gun.

While I don't necessarily disagree with the Snooze on this point, I surely hope they hold their employees to the same standards. Those reporting the news, and writing editorials, hold great power to sway things in a direction they want them to go. Their conduct both on and off the job should be made available to the public, it certainly influences their work, and affects the public.

Yeah, because the discipline that cops get hit with is always so effective, too.
Nothing like some paid vacation time for "accidentally" shooting/beating/tasing innocent civilians, eh?

...apparently J-Man your reading skills are a bit poor.
Did you bother to read the article?
The officers who were disciplined are no longer certified to work. Some for life, others for 2-4 years (which likely means they'll never work in law enforcement again).
None of the officers listed in this article is getting time off without pay, instead they're out trying to find a new career.
Oh, and I'd love to know how people swinging swords, firing shots, or pointing guns at officers and others are "innocent civilians"
