I never understood the whole "suspended with pay" thing. What the hell? A cop gets suspended for wrong doings and is paid during his time away.

What kind of punishment is that? So now this guy gets all this free time while being paid by my tax dollars. Something has to change here.


"Another Detroit police officer has been suspended on accusations that he bilked the city of $15,000 in overtime pay, the Free Press has learned.

Police spokesman John Roach confirmed that a 23-year veteran of the department's 10th precinct is suspended with pay after an internal investigation determined the officer regularly signed in at courthouses on his off days when he had no court business, then put in for overtime pay."
