Several Sarasota police officers, the police chief and a city employee may face disciplinary actions in the wake of an investigation that the city manager said he was troubled by. [More]What's to be irate about? It's just a little good old-fashioned "foot-stomping street justice." And with the involvement of the entire chain of command in the lying and cover-up, it's not like we can blame a few bad apples. Hell, this is obviously SOP, and for City Manager Bartolotta to pretend he thinks otherwise ain't exactly convincing.

The City Manager also added that the integrity of the department is solid. He said he only has issues with management, their policies and procedures...What?
Hey, I'm sure glad there was nothing to those five prior excessive force complaints against "Only One" Childers, aren't you? Four were "unfounded" and one "backed off from their complaint."
And the fact that the carrot/stick bribery and brutality have just been publicly demonstrated to be institutionally condoned has nothing to do with any of those, I'm sure...
Aren't you?
And I like the way the chief admits he "deserves" his "lumps."
Pal, you don't know the half of it.
