Want Full Time Pay for No Work at All? Join the DC Metro Police

"In late 2003," says a Washington Post investigative piece, "11 percent of the force was out, the equivalent of an entire police district. In the years since, Ramsey said, the department has made 'good progress.'"

This is "good progress?" I wonder what Chief Ramsey would consider abject failure? A total collapse of the force and followed by mass desertion like the NOPD had during the Hurricane Katrina emergency last year? Sheesh.

"One officer who hurt his knee at the police academy without ever making it on patrol did limited work at full pay for five years. Another officer who injured his legs in an off-duty motorcycle accident earned full pay but worked partial duty for 14 years. Told he would have to retire, the officer made a videotape of himself running and said he was fit for work."

Hah! The old "miraculous recovery syndrome" at work here. One officer on a multi-year disability leave of absence (at full pay and benefits) was found to have moved to Pennsylvania where he was working as a full-time cop! Go figure eh?

Why not save the taxpayers some money and just hire Blackwater Associates to patrol the streets? They'd probably be cheaper and do just as good of a job. And you could fire or replace them if needed. But really, why the fook even have a municipal government at all, never mind the lousy police force it hired? Too bad we can't "outsource" or "privatize" those mooks.
