And they were suspended and not fired because?

Cop demands free Starbucks coffee :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago Crime:
"A Chicago Police officer has been suspended and ordered into counseling after she was found guilty of demanding free Starbucks coffee from six different stores on the North Side from 2001 to 2004, sometimes flashing her badge, displaying her gun and screaming at employees.

...— Officer Joseph Battaglia was suspended for more than 15 months after he was found guilty of telling Trotter’s to Go restaurant employees in 2004 that he had confiscated “weed” and asked if they wanted some."

Best comment came from where I found it on BoingBoing - Chicago cop suspended for screaming at Starbucks, demanding free coffee, flashing her badge and gun - Boing Boing:
"Can't we at least make a rule that behavior that would land a citizen in jail would at *least* get an cop fired?"
