“…there are two factors that elevate this incident to a level more serious than merely accidental or even reckless: First, as Nyquist conceded, he is attempting to use his stick in a retaliatory fashion; Second, no matter how he specifically intended to retaliate with his stick, Nyquist is completely responsible for using his stick to deliver a blow that was extremely dangerous and easily could have resulted in a major if not career threatening injury..."

If Repeat Offender status applies only to lost salary calculation, then:
Why frequently referenced by DoPS and treated as more aggravating than History status?
Repeat Offender suspensions need to = History suspensions
Or…
If Repeat Offender is meant to be a factor in DoPS decisions, then:
Per Article definition, non-Repeat Offenders = “first time” (i.e. Clean Record)
History suspensions need to = Clean Record suspensions
