    "allegations that at least five of its male officers had sex with a female officer both on and off the job."


    They told her to collect DNA ... and boy did she.

    Putin is a dictator. Putin should face justice at the Hague. All good Russians should work to depose Putin. Russias war in Ukraine is illegal and morally wrong.

    “The actions of a few do not represent the department as a whole,” Police Chief Burrel “Chip” Davis said.

    There are only 60 officers and 8 are under investigation- so approx 14% of this workforce at least were up to these shenanigans 😀



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,191 ✭✭✭Oscar_Madison


    Is sex on the job a police thing? I've read numerous reports in the UK of this happening. Are police officers more prone to sex on the job than say estate agents, nurses, insurance underwriters?

    Pray tell your sex on the job confessions complete with occupation- the scientific Oscar line is open 😀

    If Pornhub has thought me anything, it's that nurses, estate agents and taxi drivers seem to get a lot of sex.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,191 ✭✭✭Oscar_Madison


    Maybe they need to introduce a "police" category- it's apparently rife in some quarters

    I'm all for........ahem..........disciplining her 😜 for being a 'bad girl' but I do think the investigation into her activities went way too far. Surely it's her business if she took her top off on a boat or had a rake of sex in a hot tub with her colleagues. That's her business and her employers should have no business investigating her for that kind of stuff.

    Fair enough, she should be in trouble for having oral sex in the police gym while in work but not for having sex with married colleagues in her spare time.

    "Conduct unbecoming..." That line terrified me when I was a Garda. It's basically anything that's fun. Like BattleCorp, what she did off duty should have no bearing, but that conduct unbecoming part is what gets them. Her husband is standing beside her in all this apparently. But really no ones business. I'm gonna presume it was someone she declined who spilled the beans. Based on absolutely nothing.

    Re: sex at work, I thought that was a global thing regardless of the job. The whole risk thing. Granted, the uniforms can inspire some "romantic" notions so maybe that's why it's higher in certain professions. But yeah, I would have had sex in any job if I had the opportunity. Unfortunately, I never had the chance.

    Whats next only 50 + year old virgins female officer's will be hired ,


    I thought it was a cops Job to go balls to wall fighting crime



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,155 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    I feel sorry for her. Whatever people think of her conduct to become a global figure of ridicule is far beyond what should happen to her. This will haunt her for years. Where ever she goes people will remember as soon as they google her name.

    Jon Ronson has a book called, "So you've been publicly shamed" that deals with this kind of internet shaming and it can take years for people to begin to feel even a little bit normal again.

    I agree it's a complete non story, But USA being USA attacking the police is the way to go. Her private life should never ever have been brought up. But I guess they carry something like a warrant card and are on duty even when not.

    Same. People have sex in the workplace all the time. I've seen similar in previous roles or you'd hear office whispers.

    Only difference is this made the news because she's a cop. Granted, it was with 5 different men. But again, that happens. Headline wouldn't be make it around the world if it were about an AXA office woman and men doing the same.

    The woman in the article has reached meme status and everything pretty much solely because of her job. She's still human though and if this happened to me, my sister, or anyone I knew in the workplace I completely see how you'd be broken.

    I think its made headlines because they were knocking off on the tax payers dime. The whole threesomes and hot tubs etc just adds to the sensation for the media, but the core is very wrong. When she was supposed to be upholding the law she was holding something else and lets not forget the other 7 involved to some degree. As another poster said, 14% of the force involved. Shocking.

    The question needs to be asked how many 999 calls went unattended or how many of their colleagues picked up the slack?



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,155 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    I don't know if it's the attacking the police thing is as big a part. Sure, it'll play a part but the US is a very prudish society. And they love shaming people.



  • Registered Users Posts: 258 ✭✭It is a Dunne Deal


    It think it's the fact that they were porking on duty that was the problem.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,273 ✭✭✭xxxxxxl


    Have you seen the amount of American porn 😁



  • Registered Users Posts: 296 ✭✭Ham_Sandwich


    how is it anyones business who does what with who?



  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Chances are she will open an onlyfans account and be making tens of thousands a week in no time



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,848 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    That's it. People will pay money to see what rocked that station, and once she has her dime made, disappear into a private country life with no need for anything. It's what I'd do. If I was her. Or a woman.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,011 ✭✭✭joseywhales


    I must be a prude, who is having sex with their colleagues, sound like a disaster. She would have had to be a once in lifetime shot for me to do it, the fallout is bound to be a disaster no? Are there not practically infinite partners that you don't work with? What a weird work environment that would create for everyone else and the 14% that were gangbanging. It has to affect work. Also a bunch of them were married, like it can only lead to issues.



  • Registered Users Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭yourdeadwright


    id wager there are numerous women up & down the country that have shagged 5 work colleagues during the years ,

    On the job sounds bad but if you think about it if a police officer is out on patrol with there partner they just have to nip into a house for 10 minutes, easily done ,

    Granted. But nobody in your AXA office is armed or coming through a door behind you as backup in an armed situation. In such circumstances, perhaps inter-office rivalries, jealousies and relationships are ....not a good combination.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,614 ✭✭✭Feisar


    Ah in fairness being in the police is not like sitting in a data entry role, well some of it can but my point being it can be reactionary rather than tipping along at work like a normal average 9 to 5. Anyway my point is i doubt the tax payer is actually out of pocket.

    First they came for the socialists...

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    Your concern is that police officers might be actual real life human beings ? not the easily despised and abused robots that you would like them to be



  • Registered Users Posts: 81,918 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Man TN police are everywhere in the headlines.



  • Registered Users Posts: 81,918 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Where did they state any of this imagined ‘despisement?’ Can cops have a persecution complex



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,204 ✭✭✭sprucemoose


    i think the only thing we can tell of their conduct that they......be-coming way too much


    i'll see myself out



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,848 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    I'm not sure if I should be ashamed that I laughed at that...



  • Registered Users Posts: 116 ✭✭Kyokushin Grappler


    You are always on duty in a sense. If you're in a restaurant and a heated argument or fight breaks out, you have to stop it or you can get in serious trouble if the Dept finds out you did nothing. I passed the NYPD test and nearly made it into the Academy, but a Cancer battle squashed that. A friend of mine also tried out, but she became a Correction's Officer instead. And she got the same talk like I just mentioned. Doesn't pay to have a social life when you're a civil servant in some cases. Down time is down time in name only.
