sex scandal roils Tennessee police department

"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.

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 😀

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

"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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

Hill Street Blue(s) Movie 😁

Man TN police are everywhere in the headlines.

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

i'll see myself out

Easy to get past that; "I had an alcoholic drink taken". But when sober, yes, you're nearly expected to act. However, I brought up the point that I'd have no PPE so I'd only be putting myself and potentially others in danger. I would have been a state witness, 100%, but I would not get involved without PPE.

I wouldn't totally dismiss it, I'm sure there are some genuine issues involved, but she's not completely innocent. I'd wager, going by what I've read and that articles inclusion of a line that says he escapades "got out of hand", that she was promiscuous and that put her in situations. She's not innocent, but easily led by the looks of things.

I agree, but also that would form part of the overall investigation, the complete story which led to incidents on duty/in station. So it was required unfortunately.

If only it was that straight forward. It would have to be fully investigated in case there was foul play, which is now being alleged. There'd be a bigger uproar if they didn't check it all, it went away and years later turned out to involve foul play/coercion/etc.

You looking to play this role. 😁
