Milwaukee police officers fired would have been paid or benefits they appeal their dismissals, but it is what happens in most cases, if passed in the wee hours on Friday, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Bill of materials (BOM) into Madison.
For years, Milwaukee COP was even after they were fired. But that changed after the widespread criticism of Frank Jude, Jr., 2004, beating off duty officers, as well as the continuation of the European coal and steel. Three of the officers of the Central of the collected almost $ 500,000 salary and benefits, even if his trial. Lawmakers cut off pay to officers for the 2008 starts, leading to the offence and the class A or class B misdemeanor charges. The legislature went even further in the next year, cutting off all fired Milwaukee COP. It was the right call.
So why change the rules, yet again?
Rep. Robin Vos (R-Rochester), which created the measure, which was approved by the Community legislature's Finance Committee, said, the city of Milwaukee is the only one that allows its police chief fire officers, "the reason for the practice of the did."
Vos is wrong. Police Chief Edward Flynn must be "just cause" in reaction to an officer for any reason.
Fired officer Ladmarald Cates is a good example of why the law should not be changed.
Cates was charged with raping a woman in 2010 and breaking the law five times before this. Flynn wanted to remove the Cates and, after investigation, he presented to the district attorney Office fees in the case.
The District attorney Office refused to charge the Cates for the rape but Flynn still top starts and idling Cates and loafing because Cates later trading, that he had sex with a woman while acting on behalf of the client.
His dismissal brought the Cates to the fire and Police Commission, which has the power to give him his job back. At the hearing, the date is pending.
Vos ' measure Cates could continue to receive pay and benefits, although he was fired in December. Police made about $ 56,000 Cates of overtime and benefits in the year 2008 Show records.
Historically has been difficult to fire officers. If a person violates the law, the case must be examined, and if there is sufficient evidence, the case is for the district attorney Office.
Fire and Police Commission also weighs the evidence and may refuse the request in deciding whether or not the reaction to the officers that you want to demote him, or may require additional training.
Fired by the officers, who believe that they were treated unfairly may appeal. It is their right. But during the process of change in attitude on the part of taxpayers ' money should not be on the hook. If it is established that the officer was dismissed improperly, the officer should have access to all of his lost wages and benefits in a lump sum.
Vos ' measure goes too far and smells suspiciously political payback constituency-the Milwaukee Police Association Union, in support of Republican candidates in the last fall.
The police officers should be ended due to the salary and benefits while they appeal their dismissals? Keep your letter to the editor, email know what you think about the delivery of the Journal Sentinel.
