NC sheriff fires 4 officers over alcohol at lunch

CHARLOTTE -- A North Carolina sheriff has fired four detention officers who had alcohol on their lunch break, away from the jail. The Charlotte Observer reported Friday that Mecklenburg County Sheriff Chipp Bailey fired the officers for conduct unbecoming an officer. The sheriff's office said the offense involved having alcohol at lunch, although it wasn't brought into the jail. Rules prohibit consuming alcohol during a work shift. The four were suspended Tuesday during an investigation. Officials said inmates weren't involved and the public wasn't at risk. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

The List

The person that wanted a list from me on the bad cops, hoping he/she will see the above article and start a list. Not hard this makes 5, I have seen in a few days, starting with the cop that killed the 20 yr female, running with no lights and siren going 90 mph. plus he had a couple speeding tickets. Still not saying all LEO's are bad, but way too many, think they are above the law. It seems the way our society has been going with lack of respect and too much rudeness.

You have got to know you don't drink while on the job unless you are a professional fisherman! Don't let the door hit you as you leave.
