Why do you hate compassion?
She suffered recoil injury while firing at the feet of homeless people to make them "dance" for the entertainment of herself and her fellow officers.
She now has arthritis in the last joint of her left pinky, and with the intervention of lawyers and drunken chiropractors, she is naturally entitled to lifetime disability/benefits.
Wow. That's freakin' unbelievable.
I don't know what happened with the homeless and disabled people, but apparently in 2007, "Sgt" Glemba, as supervisor of the bike unit, was suspended while her colleagues were allowed to return for work.

In Copland, suspended without pay = shit that would get you unceremoniously canned from any other job, and probably sued as well.
Just a few months later, they temporarily reinstated her just to medically retire her right away.
In other words, she was allowed to resign with a full pension instead of getting fired AND charged with crimes. It must have been some bad stuff they found her doing.
Also, girl looks like she uses more T than Ronnie Coleman, Ferrigno, and Randy Savage put together.

Read the article again, here's the details that you distorted:
The 2007 internal affairs investigation revealed Glemba and members of the squad she supervised were taking photos of themselves, the homeless and disabled, which they ridiculed with disparaging and offensive remarks.
"They were posting all of that various photographs on walls in different montages, and they'd make captions about who they were or what they were doing," said Berry.
The investigation ended when Glemba was fired in December of 2008.
While she appealed her termination, the local pension board approved her medical retirement, satisfied she was unable to perform the essential functions of her job.
Glemba was briefly reinstated and then retired with full benefits.
Just months earlier, in April of 2008, she participated in yet another Ironman Arizona.
"This doesn't pass the smell test," said Dr. Jeffrey Taffet, who did not treat Glemba. He told CBS 5 Investigates he sees questionable disability cases all the time.
"This is the tip of the iceberg. I see this every single day. I have a file this thick," he said.
In Arizona, nearly 1,400 public safety employees injured in the line of duty are receiving medical retirement benefits.
Taffet says most claims rely almost exclusively on the word of one doctor.
"What we count on as a society is the moral fiber of that physician to do the right thing and unfortunately not all physicians do the right thing," said Taffet.
Two years after her retirement, Glemba also applied for worker's compensation.
Taxpayers in the city of Mesa are paying $508 a month for the rest of Glemba's life, in addition to her medical retirement benefits.
FYI, the "taxpayers" aren't paying her the work-comp payments, her former employer's work-comp insurance carrier is. And, she also doesn't get a "full pension", the medically retired amount is much lower and is paid by the same pension fund(again, not the taxpayers) that will pay her (full)pension when she becomes eligible, that she AND her (former)employer paid into on her behalf as part of her total employment package.
Is this whole scenario part of some ridulous requirement such as being able to lift 40 lbs over your head? More than likely.There's a whole new industry that's around that does pre-employment screening of similar work scenarios to try and offset future claims INSTEAD of adjusting their job requirements/criteria, or even reclassifying an employee to a new or different job.
