I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
Because they are too stupid to play Rock and Roll.

After a while you sort of get numb to the gross and disgusting things people are capable of doing to each other. Sad, but true.

We are peace officers under a different section of the penal code than "street cops." Our authority is limited to the course of our employment, which is, generally speaking, persons and locations under control of the department. We could arrest a person who interfered with, say for instance, the transport or medical treatment of a prisoner off grounds.

I have been retired now for many years so I am not up on the current communicable disease response scenario. Since there are almost no vacant beds anywhere in the system the normal response would be to quarantine in place and isolate those infected as best they can.

What's the craziest unprofessional-phone-rep story you've ever heard?
An auditor is someone who borrows your watch to tell you what time it is and then charges you for the service. OK, that is an oversimplification. If you have a proper admin. set-up where people are doing their job your need for audits should be small and seldom. That being said an occasional audit does serve to keep the people who should be on their toes actually on their toes. They are a pain but an occasionally necessary pain.

I haven't seen the list and do not intend to activate the link. Sorry to be so unhelpful, but my anti-virus software doesn't like it.

That is easy. 1.) George Floyd wasn't a saint. He was a multiple convicted robber and a doper who had illegal drugs in his system at the time of his arrest. 2) He almost certainly had just passed a fake $20 bill in a store is why the cops were called. 3) Many honest people accidentally pass counterfeit currency they get in change every year. 4) Based on my limited knowledge of the situation I find it very hard to understand why they took him out of the police car and laid him down on the ground. 5) Anyone with any brains or any training knows about positional asphxia and how dangerous it is to leave a person face down on the ground with their hands restrained behind them, especially if you are adding pressure from above. 6) Floyd and the cop knew each other. 7) The cop's actions were, imho, at least grossly negligent and almost certainly criminal. 8) I am unsure about the laws in MN but it is possible the other three cops have some criminal liability for failure to act to protect Floyd. It is also possible they don't. 9) Passing funny money, EVEN IF you do it on purpose, is not and should not be a capital offense. 10) The cop is toast. Maybe the other three cops are toast too. 11) I don't see how it helps the situation to loot and burn businesses.
