I wonder why the change?

He gave his resignation, but they turned it down, and now they fire him.

The public must have continued to complain!

Reckon they turned it down so they could make a statement by firing him? I dunno....just a guess.

Often being fired for cause, instead of resigning, can have implications on your pension.

if his resignation had been accepted, they would have had to pay any bonus and pension. Firing him allows them to avoid that.

Ah, indeed, that makes sense.

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

this doesn't mean anything. Sanford is just trying to placate the proles. Non-proles will throw the proles a sacrificial lamb every once and a while to keep them in place. It's the way of things.

imo, since the affair was mishandled, he deserved to be fired and not receive any benefits

so if GZ is found to be innocent, what does that say about this firing?

if gz is found innocent, it could be because the chief's department bungled the investigation from the start

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

or it could be because he's innocent.

And by "the public" they mean politically connected people. This guy got hung out to dry by the city. Can we say scapegoat?
