Brickbat: How Sick

Former Gilchrist County, Florida, sheriff's office detective Trent Kellee Freeman has been charged with two counts of uttering a forged instrument and scheme to defraud. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Freeman filed fraudulent Family Medical Leave Act paperwork with the sheriff's office, forging the signatures of doctors, falsely claiming to have been hospitalized and even in a coma for medical issues, including COVID-19. In reality, according to investigators, she had started a new job elsewhere. The agency also said Freeman bilked co-workers out of about $4,000 in donated sick leave.

How could she possibly know this was wrong? Can anyone cite a case identical to this in the Gilchrist County sheriff's office? No, qualified immunity.

Where did the people of the USA give the federal Kings and Queens the authority to manage their jobs for them?

You’re doing a great job Man,Keep it up.
Detective Freeman, a government employee with qualified immunity, seen her chances and took 'em just like George Washington Plunkitt! Republican and Democrat soft machines will be falling all over each other to hire a political operative able to increase her own income sufficiently to be able to kick a little back to her buddies in The Party. The Kleptocracy needs more grafting cops to draw attention away from its murdering cops currently hogging the headlines.
