Hit and run, to the next bus stop

I was going to let this one go without a post, until I saw this line:
the 57-year-old bus driver was relieved of duty with pay (ea)

So, this guy is driving a bus in a Miami 'burb and hits a guy on a bike. No big deal, probably happens a lot and you know how righteous these bikers can get about how WE'RE the ones in THEIR way... However, in this case, the driver just keeps on going. When passengers screamed, told the driver he hit the biker, and asked him to stop, the driver just kept on going and told his passengers to be quiet. As the bus was getting pulled over several blocks later, he actually threatened (in a manner of speaking) his passengers, telling them not to say anything. You know, he thought there was a rider-driver confidentiality agreement. What happens on the bus, stays on the bus, if you know what I mean...

So, fire the guy, right? Oh, good lord no. Lets suspend him WITH PAY until we figure out what happened. Never mind the mountains of witnesses and the fact that the whole thing is caught on tape.

Paying bus drivers that shouldn't be driving a fucking golf ball...
