    murderer is on PAID leave, what the fuck? his entire job is to prevent people from doing exactly what he just did, and he gets PAID LEAVE?

      If literally any other job continued to keep you on paid leave pending a trial, I’d call that some amazing benefits. Most would fire you on or before your next shift.

    More ragebait:

    • The accident happened back in January.
    • BPD car data shows it was travelling at 100 MPH but slowed down to about 70 MPH at the intersection.
    • There was no stop sign for the people that he hit.
    • Robles DNA was on the driver side airbags, so he was definitely driving.
    • Remember, most places even without the evidence above or even the eventual outcome of the case, chances are most places would fire someone for this back in January.
