And yes as an officer I do get pissed when I hear of officers driving after drinking. However, they get the same treatment I give everyone else. |

Unless they were in uniform or had a huge freakin banner that read "Largo cops gettin freaky here!" I don't see how this could have been an image problem for the department. Sound like someone higher up had a problem with her and wanted her gone, and used this as a lame excuse

I would feel better with them being cops than the retards who bow to every political shit bomb that comes their way that fired them. It was a nice touch with the cop letting them go even though she was driving drunk, likely didn't even breathalyze her either. |

My comment was not directed at you. That whole thing was handled improperly and shows poor judgement on everyones part. Suffice it to say what needs to happen likely wont happen here. |

Sounds like an admin with an axe to grind for one officer and looking for anything they can nail that officer to the wall for.

Sounds like an officer who handed someone else a hammer to get herself nailed to the wall. Of course, I suppose that in some departments trading body fluids with a supervisor or subordinate is no big deal. Eric The(Really)Hun |

I wonder if you'd be so self righteous about this if they weren't cops. You drink, you've admitted it many times, have you ever driven home legally drunk? You wouldn't get dis-barred with a DWI conviction, yet in Texas a cop loses his TCLEOSE license with a DWI conviction-besides that, if you're like most lawyers I know somewhere along the way you've got some hook up to keep your case from ever going to court. Cops give DUI's breaks every day, non police have no idea what a pain in the ass a DWI arrest is, and patrol offcers are too busy running from call to call to hassle with a borderline drunk, besides if you work the inner city you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a DWI. As far as the bar conduct, just because this women's a sgt doesn't mean she's a direct supervisor of this other officer. This was a political firing, perhaps some discipline was necessary simply because they were stupid enough to let their hair down in public, but to terminate the employment of a 23 year officer who rose to the level of sergeant is absurd for this kind of conduct. Hopefully her department has a civil service appeal process, and she'll get the termination overturned. |

actually as a peace officer you can be fired for what you do off duty, there is a morals clause in many contracts. Part of the explanation is that you always have your authority over others even "off duty" |

Where do you get 12% for a beer? Most American beer is 4-6%, with good Belgian beers (Chimay, Duvel) running around 9%. Big difference |

Worthless without pictures and/or video.
deKyle? Isn't that an anagram for le dyke? |

Bill Clinton even said so. Any sexual contact between subordinate and superior is defacto sexual harassment. its Federal law, passed by Clinton pre-Monica. |

Sounds like it. Wait for the follow up lawsuit. |

Recheck those numbers. Beer is at MOST 5% alcohol. That calculator online is not accurate. For example it calculated a negative BAC when I tried it. |

What's the big deal here? I thought Florida was lesbo central.

should read oz. not % 12 oz. plug the numbers in to that site with 3-12 oz beers @ 5% + the Jagermeister shot @ 70 proof + 4 hours + the three different weights - that's what the posted BAC's came from. |

Lots of online BAC calculators, find another one you do like & post the results with 4 drinks over 4 hours for a 120 # woman. |

Bama you sir must come to MN... Now the have very Hot female Cops... Of all preferences... |

What everyone has missed here is if it was two male officers they would not have been fired for fear of upsetting the "gay" community. Since the fired female was with her boyfriend she is a at the least bisexual not "gay" . The PC crowd will bendover (PUN INTENDED) for the "gay" community due to fears of a lawsuit for discrimination.

I'm glad all the crime down there seems to be solved if there is time to lick whipped cream off each other...
|

I don't know what beer you are talking about in the post with the BAC calc. Even the strongest ales that I brew top out at 11% most commerical beers are around 5% with a few of the ice beers running at about 6%. Thus the bac levels you have listed are off by 50%

|

|
|

|

With the Carolina Panthers cheerleaders at Channelside, and now this, I gotta say, I love this town!

JIA, How can she bring disrespect if she's out of uniform and on her own time doing nothing illegal? Roy |

Appearantly, some are stupid people. |

I'm sure this opinion was posted before me here in this thread but...
If the supervisor used the influence from her job to entice the other two to do what they did, then I see a connection to work and a justification for firing. However, if it was a purely a private party, off-premise, and off-duty by all who fully consented, then I believe the firing was unfair. It was no business of the employer. |

They said internal probe. |

My father always told me to never shit in your own nest. I'm friendly with the people I work with when I'm at work, but off work I don't know them.
