"We were furious," said Huy Nguyen, the president of the POA. "It's devastating to experience what she is going through." His words highlight the pain and anger felt over the city's actions, showing the deep personal impact on those left behind.
Nguyen says Le's wife is still grieving. "The city attorney's office reaching out to our executive director asking about insurance policies and other benefits to pay $461," he said. This statement underscores the insensitivity in pursuing payment at such a delicate time.
The police union sent a check to the city for $461 and asked the city to be done with the matter. Their willingness to settle reflects a desire to protect the memory of Le and support his widow during this hardship.
In more than 120 cases where individual employees were overpaid, City staff have been following a standardized process to recoup those overpayments. The statement from the city illustrates the bureaucratic process that overshadowed the human tragedy of Le's death.
