'Anonymous' publish names, addresses of hundreds of Texas police officers

So, because I chose to go into a different line of work that automatically excludes me from being able to criticize other industries? News to me. And I couldn't be a cop, I've got too much integrity.

Go ahead and say something totally out of context/meaning since you are a pro at it.

As much as I can't stand racr and it really does pain me to stand up for him, no, I think he's pointing out that the police are protecting their own, keeping him paid until an 'investigation' goes through. In the real world, you fuck up, you get fired and the details are handled later. You don't get a paid vacation while they take their merry time exploring your hard drive looking for child porn.

What would you guys rather have? An officer that is fired and gets his job back because it was mishandled?

Instead of on leave and without a badge/gun, you'd rather have the guy working taking calls, making decisions about the public's safety while he knows they are building a case against him?

You guys have absolutely no logic when it comes to this. I would rather have the guy detached and away from interacting with the public, away from making life/death decisions, or decisions effecting someone's liberties. Take your time and make a case for termination that sticks, so he won't keep his job, or be able to get another job somewhere else!

Is it really that hard to understand?

You guys are like a brick wall.

You had the same chance as everyone else to choose the job you do and you're bitching about this?

You realize that the private sector has that same arbitration capability, right? It's called a lawsuit. What we don't have is protection from being fired. My boss can not like the way I do my hair and fire me. I would get unemployment because I didn't break any policy, but I'd still be jobless. Yet the police, even when they're caught with their hand in the cookie jar, are protected from being fired until the investigation is complete. Sounds like a horseshit double standard.

I have no idea why Chapter 143 of the local government exists, but I would rather have someone go through due process and have the termination stick, than do a sloppy job and risk the chance of an arbitrator giving them their job back.

Make sense?

I was looking for the list too, but didn't find anything... So I guess not much damage can be done since nobody can even locate the information..

Still, totally uncalled for. If they want to post the info for the cops that have done wrong, by all means, but posting just random people's info is shitty.

Can you email it to me?

Incoming PM.

I don't care what the statue or local government code says, as I think it is horseshit.

In the private sector when someone fucks up on camera, they get disciplined or fired on the spot (at least that is how we do it here). I do not see why the public sector should handle it any differently.

So, basically, they're union.

I've posted Ch. 143 of the local government code before, so everyone should understand why they are paid while they are suspended/investigated. You cannot legally discipline an officer without due process. After the process has completed, shit can them

So, basically, they're union.

Cops aren't protecting kids that were exploited by one of their own, so this group is going to expose/exploit cops. I don't have a problem with it, cops seem to have awfully big head syndrome these days anyway.

This. Cops should be held to the HIGHEST of standards. You break the public trust, you go away for a long, long time. No hiding your own, no administrative leave. Shit can them, put them in prison and drive on. Fuck police unions

If anonymous can break into their poorly secured systems, REAL bad folks with intent to kill can too.

If anonymous can eavesdrop on the FBI http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/201...scotland-yard/

Then REAL "terrorists" can too.

Having a false sence of Security does no one any good.
