This guy was small potatoes. Cutting him loose was the only way they can get to Mr. Big, who planned to shoot himself with a cruise missile and blame it on Zimbabwe.
Hey, not aimed at you, Eleanor, but I have it on good authority that most of the sort of people who say, “Some of my best friends are black [gay/immigrant/etc/]” are usually speaking of imaginary people! 
It’s no laughing matter. There is an imaginary black rapist in the south who is so fertile he’s impregnated almost every religious conservative- or daughter of religious conservative parents- who’s ever been recognized while seeking an abortion after protesting at another clinic. He’s never been caught.
And he’s over 200 years old!
Some of my black friends are best imaginary! (I like that one most). 
LOL i bet this story is gettin short shrift on Policelink.com LOL…
I wonder if he was fuckin around with his piece and shot himself… that happened more than one would imagine… boys with our toys…
Lissner… did we meet??
Usually when I hear ‘immunity’ it refers to criminal charges. But pension immunity? What kind of deal did they give him? Is he immune from being fired, or demoted or otherwise disciplined?
Yeah, it’s unfair. 99% of cops really give the rest a bad name.
Raping white Christian virgins keeps anybody- regardless of ethnicity- immortal.
This was part of the Philly POlice Department’s salute to the 25th Anniversary of the MOVE bombing that killed 11, including 5 children.
I think I am correct in saying nobody was jailed over that.
If I was saying it in all seriousness, I’d be too much of a fuckwit to know what a fuckwit was.
Shall I stick a smiley at the end just for you, in future?
Fuckwit!
So I’ve been whooshed AND fuckwitted?:dubious:
WTF that was witty!
My guess would be that the pension plan provides that it can be revoked only for very specific reasons, one of which being a criminal conviction. So, since they decided not to charge him criminally, they have no other operative grounds for revoking the pension.
Taking away somebody’s pension is a bad precedent. If it could be done easily, some employers would do it often. A pension earned is a property right. Perhaps he could be sued civilly for damages for filing a false police report and charged criminally for the same, but apparently the deal for his confession to stop the nonsense search is a contract that prohibits this. Between social security (when he is finally old enough) and $24k per year he might be able to get by.
That’s true, and for that reason any mechanism for taking a pension away would need to be very rigorous.
But it seems to me, especially in cases where the person has the public trust in the way that a police officer does, that a gross violation of that trust, in the line of duty, is a pretty good reason. Perhaps there could be some sort of review committee, comprised both of top brass and representatives from the police union.
Police unions and other police representative organizations have a reputation for standing firmly behind their members, even in cases where many members of the public feel that the cops have done the wrong thing. In this particular case, i think you’ll find that even the unions wouldn’t go to the wall for this guy. While the FOP is not officially a trade union, is does represent police interests, and here’s what one local FOP leader had to say
From the third story linked in my OP.
why am I ALWAYS the last to know!?
At least we know he goes by the name of Mandingo.
For some it comes naturally; others have to work at it!
I wonder if he wears big, bling earrings like Ed Bradley.
