We have a guy here who has been suspended, lied, made lame excuses, etc, yet he's now "retired."
He should be in JAIL!
The police here in Sheboygan have a tendency not be corrupt, but rather, lazy.
This cop got out of 44 tickets by saying over and over that his girlfriend stole his car
Each time he stood before a Chicago traffic court judge and told his story, the judge asked his name.
Jeffrey Kriv, hed say. That was true.
Then hed raise his right hand and get sworn in. What came next was also consistent.
