Cop suspended after 10th ethics breach

A policeman who said a mildly rude thing about a driver’s excuse (more than two years ago – what kind of backlog do they have?) has received a 15-day unpaid suspension, his tenth breach of the police ethics code, and he’s teetering on the brink of dismissal.

To be honest, if a driver was making excuses about the time of day vs. his headlights, using his religion as a basis for claiming to know when the sun rises, I don’t actually think saying I don’t care about your prayers is a insult to Islam. It’s just a cop tired of hearing feeble excuses from drivers. Cop ethics hearings should throw out incidents like this and focus on actual ethical problems, of which any city this size provides a plentiful supply.
