The military are an exception in many things for good reason.
And cops who also get guns are not something a similar exception should be made for?
Might be a very sensible lesson worth learning yes. Along with better background checks.

Thinking about it there may be contractual issues.
My employees contract of employment gives them the right to resign at any time. As such even if I wanted to fire someone, if someone resigns first I'd be a bit stuck trying to do so. I might be able to force the issue but without ever having wanted to or looking into this further I suspect I would struggle.
The military normally operates on a term basis and soldiers lack the ability to resign at will. This makes sense as otherwise soldiers could just resign rather than getting a dangerous posting. As such if the military doesn't want to accept a resignation they don't have to and can go down other routes.
Do Police Officer contracts prevent them from resigning at will? I genuinely don't know, but that could be an issue.
You're right, there is a reason. It's because a dishonorable discharge is part of sentencing in the US. It can only arise from a court martial and it is part of the criminal punishment after a judicial guilty verdict. It is not analogous to being fired however similar their outcomes appear vis a vis employment.Quote:

Do you have examples?
See Trump thread :noob: :downcast:
The councils he did dissolve were about to resign in mass according to sources. Even the arts council that did manage to resign in mass with a fuck you letter was met with a "I was going to fire them anyway"
Oh you were joking. That was funny it just went over my head.Quote:

Will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few days.
The first part of the article is extremely long-winded and annoying but when he gets to the meat of the matter it's pretty good. I just can't believe the scale of the settlements and the dismissed charges.
Shocking if true. I'm going to guess we won't find out for a very long time.

Perhaps this is all just a sneaky solution to the problem of prison overcrowding.
The lawsuits alone seem kinda damning.Quote:

They probably just wanted an autograph :o
Not seen the video. How can you "admit" to something that isn't true?
I admit that the sun rises in the west on Thursdays.
Sounds like Leave propaganda.

Oh for fuck's sake.
:(
Do Police in America not carry batons? A British cop in similar circumstances would not only not be armed but if they were worried that a petite pregnant woman had a knife they'd be trained and able to defend themselves with batons rather than firing from a distance. Firearms should be a last resort not a first one.
You were the one dismissing police shooting statistics when the victim had a knife...like a month ago.
And Lewk thinks they should want MORE of these cops in constantly around their neighborhoods. She's the one who called them for assistance and they gunned her down.

Must be a "few bad apples" that elected this man as the head of the police union.
There's having a knife and having a knife. If a rampaging big man is carrying a knife and stabbing people - or in one specific example I posted here holding the knife to the throat of someone he was holding hostage before a sniper took him out - then that can be a good shot.Quote:

For those who think body cameras are a panacea. As I keep on saying, you only need one Lewk in the jury.
