Nicole Mehringer lost her job after she was caught drunk in an unmarked police car with a male subordinate.
She won a lawsuit against the city alleging that her conduct — while against department policy — was no different from male command staff who routinely flouted rules.
The verdict was the latest in a series of legal losses for the city in lawsuits brought by female police command staff members.
I mean this is just liberalism turbo charged by identity politics. It’s kind of nonsensical to give one person, and a fucking ruling class enforcer, this much money while people are homeless and without healthcare. Honestly it’s so ridiculous but I guess it can happen because the jury is also full of liberals that have just really performative politics? The US is so fucking weird
Yeah like if you must give compensation, why not… missed wages and reinstatement to her position instead of “you just won the lottery”
So the solution here is to pay officers who flout the rules millions of dollars. Not to hold them accountable for their actions. I’m sure this is a system that works great for everyone.

god forbid a woman have a hobby
She does have a point tbh.
Yeah the problem is that the pigs routinely do shit they’re not supposed to, AND that they’re mysogynists. Ideally, everyone would get fired
out of a cannon, but the argument is sound.And the police giving away this much money to a “bad cop” is great material to show people who still think cops can be redeemed.
I feel like there’s gotta be a better argument against “Sure I was drunk on the job where my role is supposedly protecting the public, but so is everyone else” than “you’re totally right, here’s 5 million dollars”
The situation is that as everyone else does it they should all be fired same as she wwas.she sould also be some kind of compensated for their discrimination as well.
Bullshit. If everyone is breaking the rules, and only one peraon was fired for it, you don’t hand that one person enough money to build a street of houses. You fire everyone breaking the rules.
It does appear they specifically discriminated against her and that is bad. The nature of the case does not negate that fact
Kind of? If a bunch of male cops routinely showed up 20 minutes late for work and were fine, but she got fired for the same conduct, that’s discrimination. And that sounds like what happened here, just with a more serious type of misconduct.
To me, it seems like if the misconduct is serious enough you should be barred from filing this type of claim if you’re fired. Without reading all the details of this case it’s hard to say where this falls.
I mean, employers should be punished for discrimination. That is kinda important
One way to defund the police I guess. Well who am I kidding they’re taking this money out of the food programs lmao.
I…just wow.
When the NYPD
Edit: spoiling this for some serious SA details:
spoiler
sodomized a black man with a baton and perforated his colon requiring surgery and a lifetime of health complications
the general mood among people that knew anything were like “oh look, finally some cops who are worse than the LAPD”
Read up about the LA county sheriffs and why they bend the corners of their badges (one per life taken) goddamned Nazi paramilitaries
:yikes:
