I have no sympathy for her argument. Otherwise, we have to let off every murderer who points out that many other murderers get away with their crimes. Her treatment is not made any more or less just or unjust by how anyone else is treated.

Are we mocking her method or her point? IANAFL, but it seems like a reasonable gambit to say she wants to get rehired because there was unequal treatment, which we seem to be accepting. That seems like a nice approach to ultimately gain a settlement and/or heightened scrutiny on the 14 men who continue to shiv the public's constitutional rights.

As much as I hate to say it, I can almost believe officer Rush. I've worked in enough bureaucracies to have heard plenty of variations of "We know it's probably not the right way, but this is how we've always done it." That said, in a just world this business would come up every time she's a witness in any courtroom for the rest of her police career. Yes, that means I expect her to get reinstated.

Oakland PD needs to tell her they've met their quota on firing bad cops.

There was a mention at Injustice Everywhere the other day about an NAACP conference that was addressing the role of police unions in contributing to police brutality/corruption.

Unfortunately, if she doesn't get rehired, there's about 2 dozen suburbs of Oakland that will be glad to hire her.

It seems to me the solution is to dismiss the other 14 male officers.
