I think officers have a commitment that extends to off-duty,....You THINK all you want except they work under a contract. If there is no citable, arrestable or punishable offense committed, Government can NOT make bullshit up to get rid of you, no matter HOW black the accuser is. How about working in a store and eying a beautiful woman who comes by where you are working? No crime, no basis for government retribution.
I don’t call it “make up bullshit” when there are very probably interpretable rules and regs within the department that will eventually allow them to prevail.
I didn’t create this although I agree with you in spirit and desire. I am the wrong to bark up, frankly. I just know what the likelihood of outcome is going to be. I know that area intensely well.
