So far, five posters have used this quote, and every poster seems to be taking it at face value. Hasn't anyone noticed this is coming from the lawyer for the three male officers? Do ya think he has some vested interest in claiming this? If it was John Edwards who was representing the officers, would you take his word for it? Balagia is a former police officer himself who was fired for drug use but reinstated after he sued. He then quit the force and became a lawyer, and it appears he frequently represents bad cops.

Another thing to consider is 'going along with things so as to be treated the same way'.

I don't want my co-workers to feel like they have to walk on egg-shells around me, so I will join in a bit with their joking. Not by saying anything, but by being a good sport and not getting offended. Is it entirely possible that this woman did the same, but the guys really went way too far.
