We're the Only Ones Delaying Enough

Two employees at Chicago’s 911 emergency center have been slapped with lengthy suspensions without pay for their roles in an Aug. 28 dispatch delay that left an off-duty police officer to fend for himself while being shot at by a car filled with alleged gang members. [More]
On second thought, I've inappropriately categorized this.

Had they been true "Only Ones," that "without pay" crap wouldn't fly.

You forgot to add that if it was a mundane rather than an only one who was in need of assistance, there would have been no consequences whatsoever.

. . . while being shot at by a car . . .

What makes a car go bad like that?

I know I've strayed from the point, but I can't help but make fun of that kind of "Authorized Journalist" writing.

What zach said. They got a heavy penalty only because an "Only One" was in trouble. It would have been a wrist-slap, if that, if it had been one of us peons.

For that, you deserve to be Hassselhoffed.
