The Little People

The little people get rightfully jailed everyday for leaving their children in a car unattended. But if you’re one of our heroes in blue, you can do it and only worry about a couple of weeks without pay. The Republic:

Kim was among several youths rounded up in March 2011 after neighbors complained about a loud house party. The van was parked at police headquarters and the teens said they were “stranded” for more than 14 hours with no food, water or cellphones.

The youths were rescued when a passer-by saw the boys and called police, who then came to fetch them.

Borough officials later demoted one officer and suspended others without pay. Investigators determined that three officers, whose names were not released, unintentionally abandoned the teens in the van by failing to follow procedures.

The borough also disciplined at least five other officers for violating procedures. But the internal-affairs investigation found no evidence of “malicious or discriminatory intent” by the officers.

The kids were left in a van for 14 hours because they didn’t follow procedure? The fuck?
