: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.
