That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

I'm curious: an officer can (like anyone else) plead the 5th in court, but could they hypothetically still be fired for failing to follow procedure by not filing a report on their own shooting, or do 5thA protections extend to the workplace too?

(for comparison, could someone plead the 5th and not fill out an OHS incident report in any workplace following an accident if they believed the report would reflect negatively on them? Would refusal to fill that out be fair grounds for dismissal?)
