Wow, that is ridiculous, especially given the, what was it, 17, previous complaints against him.
This whole situation has brought up an interesting conversation about unions on the left. It's pretty clear that the police union and their protectionist attitudes are a serious problem, here. If you take the ways teachers' unions protect their people and ratchet it up a dozen or so notches, you get police unions. The left is pro-labor, but seeing the way this union has operated is making a lot of people think long and hard about this.
