Kentucky Police Officers Suspended Over MySpace Comments

An AP newswire article, via SFGate.com, reports that:

Three police officers were suspended over Web site comments about their jobs and derogatory language about gays and the mentally disabled.

The suspensions came after two other officers were suspended in June over comments and photos posted on the same site, MySpace.com.

In the latest case, the Fayette Urban County Council approved a recommendation on Thursday to suspend Aaron Noel, Richard Sisk and Paul Stewart on administrative charges of conduct unbecoming of an officer. Each was suspended for 80 hours without pay and was ordered to undergo sensitivity training.

The police department began investigating the Web sites in March after they were discovered by another officer.
