Just maybe, if you are a law enforcement officer accused of killing a teenage male who has not attacked you or anyone else, someone should hold up your pay unless and until you get a "not guilty" verdict.

But, hey, nothing seems as easy to spend as taxpayer dollars. Easier than monopoly money, even.

Rec'd for visibility and not because I approve of shooting people dead.

Everything is bass-ackards there.

Speaking of that, isn't the whole political brains trust on paid leave for this entire month? Need to rest, after not doing a damn thing since President Obama took officeIf they were paid what they are worth, taxpayer money would be saved in large amounts. The hardest work McCain, Graham and some others do is prepare for their Sunday meet and greet on TV.If these officers are guilty, they will be punished, the clowns in DC get away with their crimes.
