I mean, the headline says "second". Anything greater than 0 is bad but seems a little short of a "plague".

- ebbi 15d agoAnything greater than 0, in leadership roles of the organization that should be one the most highly trusted in the country, is a plague.
- senordevnyc 15d agoIt’s horrible, it deserves severe legal punishment, but “plague” to me implies a broad pattern.
- jasonfarnon 15d agoso you would call it a "plague" if it was just one guy? hopefully you can see how ridiculous that would work out in practice.
- defrost 15d agoFrom the sysadmin PoV it's never "one guy" or even "just two"; what is common, however, is just one or two policemen, one or two soldiers, or one two judges make the news and the limelight of public prosecutions. It's good to be seen to be tackling this kind of behaviour, rarely ever good (apparently) to fully rip the band aid off and report just how wide spread such behaviour can go.
- lostlogin 15d agoThe first link appears to say 22 cases. 12 have faced sanction.
- jasonfarnon 14d ago1. 22 "investigated" as part of a wide scope review, ie, it could mean an entire department was investigated 2. review was for "staff internet usage" so those sanctions could be for anything from regular internet porn or gambling sites or whatever else violates their employment conditions 3. OP said the plague was among "top-level police officers"
