Pathetic.
(Tulsa World) — A Tulsa police captain who disobeyed an order to make officers attend a Law Enforcement Appreciation Day at a Tulsa mosque was suspended without pay for two weeks.
In February, Capt. Paul Fields was temporarily transferred from the Police Department’s Riverside Division to the Mingo Valley Division, and an internal investigation was launched into the matter.
Fields filed a federal lawsuit two days later, claiming his First Amendment rights were violated.
His suspension began June 12 and will end June 25, according to a personnel order signed by Police Chief Chuck Jordan.
Specifically, he was suspended 40 hours for violating the department’s rule on being obedient and another 40 hours for violating a rule on conduct unbecoming to an officer.
