Title: To service and protect...
Post by: Perd Hapley on January 21, 2023, 01:19:16 AM
 In case you're like me, and wondered what the police girl memes were about...

https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/what-police-girl-meme-maegan-hall-social-media-trend-explained

Girl cop was getting busy with half the department.

The sheer volume of concupisence in the department is perhaps easier to explain or defend than their hiring a cop who looks like she's still driving on a learner's permit, and is probably picked by the other cheerleaders to be at the top of the pyramid.

You misspelled "concupiscence."

I mean, she looks to me like a petite 15-year-old. Unless you're just trying to fill a quota, why hire her as a police officer?

Then again, I guess it's pretty hard to find cops to hire these days. Or maybe she slept her way into the job, to begin with.

Probably because she applied, passed the academy, and it's not hiring her because she "looks like a petite 15YO" after she passed the academy is borderline illegal and would get a hiring officer in hot water with HR.

Are they required to hire anyone who applies? They can't just say, "we'll keep your application on file. Thanks"?

It take two to tango, in this case it was more of a conga line. I would almost guarantee if one of her playmates wives had not figured it out it would have been going on still. When I live in WA our small community police force of 8 officers was disbanded because the Chief of Police has the touchy feelys toward the female office staff. Too much of a liability for the town, fired them all and contracted with the County Sheriff.

On hiring: it varies. If I have one position and I get a list with several applicants, than I just pick the best applicant and justify that decision. If I announce a position, get an applicant list and don't want to hire any of them, then yes I need to articulate why I think they are all unqualified.

At least with my agency the applicants go through a couple screenings before I get the list, and simply by being on the list that means HR thought they met minimum qualifications. So if I disagree on that, I definitely need to be able to articulate it.

A position that requires specific training (like a police academy) is worse from a hiring officer's standpoint. If they complete the training (academy or course) there is objective evidence that they met the minimum standards for the job. Not hiring someone that is objectively qualified if you have an open position is begging for a lawsuit. Not hiring a qualified protected class is begging to loose that lawsuit.

I don't know for sure about that department, but Law Enforcement in general is understaffed these days, so I would not be surprised if there were semi permanent open positions in many departments. In that situation if she rolled up with a shiny new academy graduation cert and applied for an open position they would pretty much have to hire her, at least on a probationary basis.  And if she banged her training officer.......

FWIW, that's not limited to .gov jobs.  I would bet money that any business big enough to have an HR has similar policies.  They might not tell YOU why you didn't get hired, but there's a memo somewhere in HR detailing the hiring process and why a particular someone, or no one, was picked for a job just in case someone sues.

She's filing a lawsuit, she was groomed.

Quote
She filed a lawsuit Monday against the city of La Vergne, former Police Chief Burrel "Chip" Davis, Powell and McGowan, claiming she was sexually "groomed" for the trysts.

"Where Ms. Hall sought role models at her new job, she instead found predators," the lawsuit states. "In place of offering professional development, her supervisors and the chief of police groomed her for sexual exploitation."
Quote
Her attorney added in a comment to WTVF that "Maegan wasn't looked at as a rookie cop to be trained and promoted."

"She was looked at like a piece of meat to be sexualized and exploited," said Wesley Clark of the firm Brazil Clark PLLC.

Quote
The Tennessee cop who was fired after an investigation found she had affairs with multiple male colleagues on the force said she "cracked" after considering divorce from her husband and that her sexual escapades "kind of got out of hand," according to transcripts of an interview with an internal investigator.

"Me and my husband were kind of on the verge of a divorce, and I just cracked and then it just kind of got out of hand," former La Vergne officer Maegan Hall told human resources after an investigation was launched into the scandal, according to transcripts of the exchange first obtained by WSMV 4.

POLICE SHE-NANIGANS

Pokin' around, I found this on Laurie Bombenek, former police officer accused of murder and horsin' around.  Made lots of headlines.

This Wiki article is kind of longish:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurie_Bembenek

They say you're responsible for your own actions and they also say, you make your own luck.

This article makes you wonder.  It sounds almost like a demon was following her around, and the topper was after she achieved some stability, she put her paintings up in a gallery and the place burned down, destroying her work.  (No word in Wiki on the cause.)

Yeah, you make your own luck.  Yeah.

She died of alcohol and marihuana related liver and kidney disease in a hospice at age of 52, but reading this tale of trials, you almost can't blame her for "escaping."

Anyhow, possibly somewhat related to the OP, but was interesting to me.

The little town I lived in before moving, Medical Lake, WA (Yes it had a lake and it was used for medicinal purposes), had a local 8 man or so PD. I say had, the receptionist/dispatcher has a bad case of badge bunny behavior. Rather than be faced with a lawsuit or two they disbanded the PD and contracted with the county Sheriff to provide LE behavior. I got this first hand from the local Police Chief, he was my neighbor. His wife was some kind of worked up over the behavior of several of the officers and maybe even him when it came to the badge bunny worker bee in the office.

BobR, that stuff is probably universal in any small group.  With respect to cops and churches, it's a bit more outrageous when it comes out.

That seems like a stretch, WLJ, but you're not a mind reader either.

^ Agreed, mostly, but poetry tickles different engrams in one's head.  I have no problem writing expository screeds, but I stink at poetry. (Except rhyming doggerel.)

Ne'ertheless, this is one of the most famous and frequently read out loud poems in English liteature:

JABBERWOCKY (1871)
by Lewis Carroll
(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson )

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!     
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought.     
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,     
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.     

“And, hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves   
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

It had occurred to me that RKL's post might be suggesting something like that, and that's brillig with me..

In his lawsuit, which was filed last week, Powell, who is Black, argues that he was unfairly treated due to the color of his skin, WKRN reported. The suit cites that White officers were allowed to remain on the force following the scandal, while he was terminated.

After a quick google Powell was fired for lying to Investigators.

One of the officers she was having an affair with is suing. Can you guess for what?

After a quick google Powell was fired for lying to Investigators.

But lying is a cultural/racial touch stone component of my racial heritage. You can't discriminate against me for that!

Sort of like Michael Vick claiming that dog fighting was a racial/cultural component of his heritage.

Most people wouldn't swallow that big of a one.

A lot of people swallowed that argument when people used to it defend Michael Vick for dog fighting.

I think I posted here around that time wondering what people would say if it was in the white man's racial heritage to own slaves...

The Philadelphia Eagles giving Vick a contract is why I abandoned them after 30 years of being an active fan.

The NFL then rehabilitating Vick as a "hero of the NFL" is one of the major reasons why I finally said FU, pointy sportball league.

^,^ Joke

^, Same logic could be applied to bullfighting and rooster fighting.

People are just attracted to blood sports.  Whether they're locally tolerated is a different problem.  I personally hate the idea of, e.g., dogfights or bullfighting as sporting events, but there they are, out in the real world.  And bullfighting can't be held in the back room of the local bodega.

Sometimes the bulls get to enjoy it...

I guess the thing is some critters have a choice whether they want to do it, other critters don't...

I will admit there are some videos of the bulls getting the upper hand (horn?) and I couldn't help but smile.

And nobody should condemn you for that.

Settlement in her lawsuit

Quote
The rookie cop hit back in a federal lawsuit, claiming she was groomed and abused by lecherous superiors, including Police Chief Burrel 'Chip' Davis and Sgt. Lewis Powell, a 15-year law enforcement veteran.

The half-million settlement includes court costs, attorneys fees and expenses paid out by the city's insurance.

Cop-gone-wild, 28, will get $500,000 PAYDAY after suing city claiming she was sexually groomed by her 'predator' superiors - after she was fired for sex romps with seven officers

I wonder what she did to appear to be "groomable."

Anyhow, whatever it was, was worth 500 big ones.

With that kind of money she could set up a really nice Only Fans studio to keep the cash rolling in!

^^^In consideration of the legal costs and contingency fee, she probably took home approximately half of the amount.

I mentally deducted 1/3 as a straightforward "attorney's contingency fee" but didn't have a basis for estimating all costs so I left it at $500 large.
