With pay..... sigh. Even shooting your own mother isn’t enough to get you fired if you are a cop. They really are above the law.
Ouch!
“Fool - you shot me in my pinkie-toe!”
Terry to Mom: Stop your complaining and walk it off.
administrative leave with pay
Some are more important than the rest of us citizen/serfs. If I shot someone in the foot I wouldn’t get a paid vacation, although I certainly wouldn’t be able to go to work either. I’d be in jail.
Mother responds to shooter - “Now I gots to cut ya.”
Shouldn’t have taken his bullet out of is shirt pocket.
I guess dogs just don't cut it anymore.
