It wasn’t his trigger finger!

“disability” is much abused and seen as a perk in most gov’t jobs.

Somebody pls post the video of the multi-amuptee Dem-Vet Congresswoman, just blasting this guy giving testimony for claiming “disability” for hearing loss, or some such!!

For every disability fraudster we read about, there are 99 others that haven’t been caught, yet. And most of them are/were in the public-sector.

So how badly was is hurt? If his left was permanently crippled from some infection, I could see that he could still fire with his righthand but not be able to reload effectively or do the other actions as a cop. On the other hand he could just be a shirker who got a helpful doctor to sign off on a medical retirement. I watched the video and I couldn't tell how useful his left hand was and whether he had problems closing it.

It sounds like the NJ law is just stupid requiring either 100% or 0% disability.

A staple in the hand is worth 2 in the Bushmaster

Onesti accidentally fired a staple into his non-shooting hand while preparing to attach a paper target to some cardboard.

Its hard to understand someone being paid for not working because of a disability when so much effort has been put into getting employers to hire people with disabilities. There is something wrong with this picture.

There are 10 people legitimately on disability. The rest could go do something and get off of it.

While they’re at it, pull the licenses from those two docs and review all cases where they provided medical “testimony.”

Where I live, it has become a joke. Whenever a policeman is involved in a shooting (justified or not), they invariably go for an early (disability) retirement. The reason given is that they are emotionally unable to carry a gun anymore because of the trauma they have seen. Invariably, the early retirement is granted. The youngest one I have seen so far was in his late 20’s.

A few years ago, one of the policemen who took an early disability retirement was caught as a gun-carrying security guard in a different state. He was allowed to keep his retirement, but had to resign the position and promise not to take another job that involved handling a weapon. I wonder how they are making sure he keeps his promise?

Back when I was a cab driver I had a friend (also a cab driver) who worked to find disability frauds. He carried a camcorder with him and took video of “disabled” people working. One was taped carrying shingles up a ladder.
