In a message dated 98-05-20 03:30:23 EDT, you write: << Tom!!, WOW!!!....You mean to tell me, Tom, that this guy is allowed to teach classes other than technical courses without another instructor present?????!!!!!!!!......like nothing happened??? From what I get so far, there's a "POSSIBILITY" that this incident could have happened with any class. PLEEEEASE tell me that it isn't possible that this guy is out teaching ANYTHING by himself!! When there is a police shooting with an internal investigation of an officer, that officer in question is placed on temporary leave or some kind of light duty with no exposure to the public. They turn in their badge and gun until the investigation is completed and a determination is made. (They are not put on duty with a supervising officer) I am surprised that he would be allowed to teach at all! I think that any students that he is teaching would NOT be students and would be _EXTREMELY_ upset if they knew the situation. Thanks in advance for the reply, Mike W. >> Mike, Just for the sake of accuracy, Police Officers (from most Depts) involved in shootings have their weapons taken for testing. They are placed in non contact positions (ie: desk jobs) or administrative leave status (with pay/benefits). They retain their badge and are issued a replacement weapon. They still keep their Police powers. After all, in most cases the shooting is justified and why strip them physically and emotionally by treating them as if they had done wrong. If the shooting turns out to not be justified then different rules come into play. Suspension of Police powers, suspension with or with out pay etc. Personally, I feel that this instructor should not be teaching until such time as the Board has reviewed all the facts and made their decision but that's only my opinion and we all know what is said about opinions.
