Brickbat: Undue Influence

New York City's Civilian Complaint Review Board has determined that Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, the New York Police Department's highest-ranking uniformed officer, abused his authority by ordering officers to drop the charges against a former police officer arrested for threatening three boys with a gun. He faces the loss of up to 10 vacation days if the department accepts the finding.

Wow, that'll teach him.
"He faces the loss of up to 10 vacation days if the department accepts the finding."
Now, don't do it again or we'll be forced to put you in the comfy chair.
I agree
That was a pretty mild suggested punishment
More like a slap on the wrist at best.
More like a pat on the head, wink wink.
That's the maximum punishment. He'll get less for sure.
That blue line is so razor thin it could not withstand an 11th vacation day.
The very definition of "cruel and unusual punishment".
"He faces the loss of up to 10 vacation days if the department accepts the finding."
Presumably he is on paid leave for a month or two pending this decision?
There's the "easy treatment" for colleagues, family and friends, and then there's how the police treat the rest of us.
The only explanation I can think of is that kids must have had family in high places, because this is completely normal.
only Michelob Ultra at O'Grady's for a month.
10 days which will be reinstated after arbitration.
10 days? It'll take him a month to earn that time back!

And when he's greeted with a bullet to the back of the head in a "random" attack, everyone will wonder why guns are the problem.
