I had red pineapple curry chicken for lunch from a food cart. I also plan to exercise extreme loafing in a few hours.

/at least I hope it'll be a loaf

A bunch of guys decide to turn off their GPS devices, hide their cars, go home and watch a movie.


Does this mean they all live together?

Where's the hero tag for cops actually getting fired?

Well, they could have been out beating minorities.

I turn off my GPS whenever I want to get a hooker, and not one of those FARK Ready Ho Walk of Shame hookers either.

Nasty_McFilth: Where's the hero tag for cops actually getting fired?

Tiny drop in a very, very big bucket.

/bet they'll still get to roll with Friends of the Police Get out of traffic citations free badges on their vehicles.

I can't believe it.

Not that the cops were loafing on the job -that i can beleive - but that they actually got fired for it. I mean, getting a DUI doesn't do it, beating suspects doesn't do it, engaging in questionable shootings doesn't do it, but loafing.....that's what gets cops fired?

Don't get me wrong, I think all these shenanigans should be firing offenses, but I'd rather have lazy cops than crooked ones.

More interesting is the Link on the page to a story about Keith Olbermann being fired again. By Al Gore's Current TV:

"Current was also founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers," Gore and Joel Hyatt wrote in an "open letter" to viewers on Current's website. "Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it."

$27.3934 per hour ! I am in the wrong damn part of the south...

the time of the investigation - which was from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011," said Guiltieri.

Took an investigation between July and December? Catch them twice; the first was able to be forgiven as an error in judgment, but the second shows a pattern of behavior.

The investigators were also caught loafing.

Fired for "extreme loafing". Is regular loafing permitted?

Was there also an article next to it that tells us who won World War 2? I've been waiting for that news too.

Coming this Fall to G4TV: "Extreme Loafing!"

They can't generate revenue protect citizens if they're not patrolling.

Big surprise.

Drunk white chicks for everybody!

Seriously ?

The only thing that gets cops fired is screwing over other cops or stealing from the state. Beatings, theft, DUIs, etc etc no problem because it doesn't effect the other cops. Sitting around not working etc means the other guys have to pick up the slack and they will voice their displeasure. Stealing $$ from state coffers also pisses off the wrong type of people.

I would really like to point out the following:

The average years of service of these Deputies is 20. 20 years in law enforcement is retirement in most places, and with good reason. After 20 years they shouldn't be on the streets.

Meh, Gualtieri (mentioned in the article making lots of condemning statements) is up for re-election this year. He has signs everywhere in Pinellas County. This helps his "tough cop" image really well.

"If he's willing to fire lazy cops, imagine what he'll do to criminals!"

He's a shoo-in.

Different juristictions have different levels of tolerance for malfeasance. At least these guys responded to call outs, but it looks like otherwise they just goofed around all day (as opposed to patrolling).

You lollygag the crusier around the county. You lollygag your way down to a call. You lollygag in and out of the station. You know what that makes you?

"COPS is filmed on location with the men and women in law enforcement, provided they can be found and rousted to do their jobs. All suspects are proven free until shown to be enough of a hassle to pursue."

These guys are all in their early 40s and were hired in the late eighties early nineties. They hire 19 and 20 year old cops?

Funny, Current TV never seemed to have those values - Olbermann fit right in there and they used to embrace him. He must have pissed someone off.

I worked with a guy who didn't realize that he actually had to show up and do his job to keep it. It was a part time gig in college where we set our own hours and didn't have much oversight. I didn't see him for a few months and figured he'd moved on or was fired because he was always really lazy about his duties. One day I bumped into him at the office where we submitted our time sheets. Sure enough his was on top and he'd been submitting more hours than anyone else. Almost all of those hours overlapped with when others and I had worked and they hadn't seen him either. His absence became a bit more official after that.

...and then what happened?

Yeah, well, the real outrage here is the article linked on the right, about the woman who claimed her huge breasts interfered with her roadside sobriety test - picture is of just her face. C'mon, guys. If you're gonna be prurient, DO IT RIGHT.

But I were to steal that amount of money, I would be in jail. This is fraud and should be treated as such.

For civil servants it is the norm.

In this thread you'll find a bunch of people who admit to spending time at work farking off being critical of others doing the same.

cgraves67:

Or shooting them for "moving suddenly."

And why only minorities? I almost got shot by a cop once and I'm as white as a ghost.

(I was going to post something very much like this. Great minds, eh?)

Diodorus: You lollygag the crusier around the county. You lollygag your way down to a call. You lollygag in and out of the station. You know what that makes you?

A cop?

Inquiring minds want to know: What was the movie?

Hobo Jr.: But I were to steal that amount of money, I would be in jail. This is fraud and should be treated as such.

A college in Texas actually did press charges against members of their campus police department for filling out false time sheets.. Normally they only get suspended or fired at worse. Police have strong unions.

/I give it a month before we read a follow up about the police union getting these guys their jobs back with back pay.

Those other things are just part of the job. They're doing something to earn their pay.


Don't get me wrong, I think all these shenanigans should be firing offenses, but I'd rather have lazy cops than crooked ones.

You too. That makes three of us so far in this thread.

On the other hand, if a locality is so low-crime that it takes an official investigation to notice cops goofing off, doesn't that mean they can save money by laying off some cops or moving them to part-time?

That's only one step lower than busting somebody for drinking one beer in the middle of an otherwise empty public park.

What do we pay cops for anyway? To show up after you're shot and take a report, in between getting freebies from hookers and playing Angry Birds?

On an autumn night in Baltimore on St. Paul Street in November 1994 I was beat half to death by four roving "fag-bashers" wielding 2x4s. After I picked myself up and staggered the two blocks to the Emergency Room I noticed three cop cars parked in front of a convenience store and four cops (two with hands on their weapons) harassing a nicely-groomed middle aged black man who'd been politely asking passing college students for spare change. When I stood there battered and bleeding to holler at them about how I just got attacked while they were doing that, that I could describe the "perps" and that they might still catch them, I was told to shut up, they're busy. Obviously harassing a black citizen is more important. Then I told them I would be at the ER across the street or maybe admitted and I wished to file a report when they were finished doing their real job ("my name is DAVID *****, spelled *-*-*-*-*"), but I didn't hear a peep from them for the three days I was there. Is there any wonder I hate cops?

Hassling old black guys is their job. Catching violent criminals is too much trouble.
