they loose either way. firing the employee over allegations from being investigated might be illegal in the state where this happened at. here in Tennessee, its employment at will, meaning you can be fired for anything at anytime without notice.
Police departments in Maryland put police officers on "administrative leave" whenever they discharge their weapons. They investigate and if all rules were followed, the guy goes back to duty. He is still paid since he is an "employee" of sorts.

Comcast should have suspended this guy especially for a something as serious as a murder investigation.

He should have been fired. Police officers are a different breed. They have a strong union and many are protected under Police Officer Bill fo Rights laws in their state. They cannot be fired just for being charged.

Private citizens working for a private company who are not subject to a Labor agreement are fair game unless the reason is discrimanatory.
