She does have a point tbh.
Yeah the problem is that the pigs routinely do shit they're not supposed to, AND that they're mysogynists. Ideally, everyone would get fired ~~out of a cannon~~, but the argument is sound.
And the police giving away this much money to a "bad cop" is great material to show people who still think cops can be redeemed.
I feel like there's gotta be a better argument against "Sure I was drunk on the job where my role is supposedly protecting the public, but so is everyone else" than "you're totally right, here's 5 million dollars"
The situation is that as everyone else does it they should all be fired same as she wwas.she sould also be some kind of compensated for their discrimination as well.
Bullshit. If everyone is breaking the rules, and only one peraon was fired for it, you don't hand that one person enough money to build a street of houses. You fire everyone breaking the rules.
It does appear they specifically discriminated against her and that is bad. The nature of the case does not negate that fact
Kind of? If a bunch of male cops routinely showed up 20 minutes late for work and were fine, but she got fired for the same conduct, that's discrimination. And that sounds like what happened here, just with a more serious type of misconduct.
To me, it seems like if the misconduct is serious enough you should be barred from filing this type of claim if you're fired. Without reading all the details of this case it's hard to say where this falls.
I mean, employers should be punished for discrimination. That is kinda important
