Guess who gets fired?
The dispatcher wife, because “She is a married woman,” and “It looked bad for the department.” And the female deputy, because “sources said she made threats against the husband.”
The male deputy…well, he just resigned. And the male Texas Ranger…well, he’s still got his job.
Why, pray tell, does it look bad for the department for a married female dispatcher to be having an affair, but it doesn’t look bad for the department for a male deputy to be having an affair with a married woman?
Something tells me the best explanation for this double standard can be found right in the nameplate of one of the reporting sources.
