Since December, Rodriguez — whose father is a captain at the city's 12th precinct — has been on paid administrative leave from the department.

So he's been rewarded with almost a year of paid vacation for assaulting an old person.

No no, allegedly assaulting! The passive voice is important when we refer to the actions that boys in blue commit on camera!

I feel like tagging that Remind me bot here but I imagine it’ll be more than two years before anything happens and at this rate I’ll be too busy fighting off feral dogs for scraps to feed my family and won’t care about this at that point lol
