It’s only taxpayer money.

Death Penalty.

Read between the lines. It’s a settlement of some sort negotiated in a back room. Pick whatever scandal you want it to be, but that’s probably the reason.

I read about this all the time in New York city. Who approves this sht? There’s no accountability.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Bottom line, these people are crooks and so are the punks who approve this crap. They had one guy a few years ago retire on disability after serving only SIX years on the force and of course there he was running triathlons. They always seem to be running triathlons as if to mock the system.

The golden goose for a lot of the NYPD has always been the goal of 75% disability and early retirement. Car accidents are always good for that. Lots of back injuires i.e. herniated disc helped with a high power lawyer, (No problem finding an injury attorney in NY) Seen it too often, just another money making injury claim at the public’s expense. BTW, recently I have seen some “very early” retired veterans with alleged non combat related “back” injuries. Suspicious??? It was to me when I found that two of them were brothers who were discharged from different bases with the same alleged injury cause by the same thing. My take on it is, better to give them what they want than defend the action with it’s cost.

It’s a miracle! No. Just New York.

[Leaning Right]

Okay, let's assume that the cop really has a knee injury. So no more walking the beat for her. Why then wasn't she assigned to some other duty, like answering 911 calls?

A disability finding should not lead to retirement. It should lead to be assigned some other duty. But I guess that might offend some group somewhere, so never mind.

[semimojo]

Anyone have an idea what a 13 year NYPD vet would get as a pension without the disability?

I played ice hockey with a NY State Sheriff who was on long-term disability because of “work related car accident” he had been involved in 8 months previous.

A miracle!!! He’s been healed!

Well, I got better...

I’d bet everybody knows at least one disability fraud.

They’ll call her in for a new examination and decide what to do after that.

Yet another case of #NewYorkValues

Ghads, she runs the half marathon faster than I do... Glad she can do it on the public’s dime for the rest of her life...
