39. IMO, he should have been fired that night. There was absolutely no excuse for his behavior, none.

When the hubbub dies down he will be back on duty & his behavior validated, at least in his mind, cuz there were no consequences.

Is suspension with pay typical? Does it go on the record? These guys break all the rules & get a slap on the wrist - time off with pay & a note in your file. Big whoop.

on edit: I see below he was suspended without pay. I wonder who makes that decision & why some get pay & others don't. ???
