Apparently she was fired for shooting without cause at a previous job. :roll:

Gatny was involved in four car accidents in two years.
In 2007, she reportedly "left her duty belt, along with her weapon..with a civilian employee" while she had her picture taken with someone.

In 2008, while confronting three suspects, she fired her service weapon.  An internal investigation found the suspect was trying to remove his backpack. She was convinced he was going for a gun, but a fellow officer said he never thought the suspect was armed.

Internal Affairs concluded she should not be punished because the initial call for service said the suspects could have been armed.

"rlol" What a great get out of jail free card. ANYBODY could be armed, so viola, every shooting is justified.
