Reply to comment by i_nobes_what_i_nobes in Providence police officer acquitted of assault charge by Rogue-Island-Pirate

See that’s a term I hate “off-duty officer.” They’re citizens. Normal citizens. They don’t get more rights just because for 8-12 hours a day they put on a uniform.

You know, I’ve never thought about it like that. And you’re 100% right, they’re not any more special than anyone else when they’re not working. I don’t call myself an “off duty nanny”, when I’m not at work.

Any “off-duty officer” is just a cop that’s abusing his position and working overtime without permission from their superior. Shouldn’t be applauded, should be disciplined.
