A federal judge found police Supt. Jody Weis in contempt of court today and gave him until 8:45 a.m. Monday to release the names of officers who have at least five citizen complaints filed against them since 2000.
Last month, Weis refused a magistrate judge’s order to turn over the papers, saying handing over the names would “compromise officers’ performance, threaten safety, reduce morale and improperly impugn many officers’ otherwise well-deserved good reputations.”
The list is being sought — along with a more specific list of officers with excessive-force complaints filed against them — by attorneys suing the city over an allegation that an officer falsely arrested and used excessive force against two children.
So what does our having five complaints filed against us by jagoffs we've arrested have to do with an alleged use of force by a cop we've never met against two kids we've never heard of? Can some bleeding heart liberal explain that to us?
We've haven't been convicted of anything. We haven't ever taken suspension time. Yet we are going to be the subject of this data-mining expedition for the benefit of some scumbag attorneys who are then going to file hundreds, if not thousands, of nuisance suits, knowing that Shortshanks and his incompetent lawyers are going to settle at every opportunity, thereby dragging our names through the mud and casting doubt on our testimony at all sorts of criminal trials and civil trials in the future.
This Department is within a nanosecond of completely shutting down; we're talking within millimeters of pulling a Cleveland-type reaction at the street level. Movers are down thousands. Parkers are down tens of thousands. County Jail says they haven't had tiers this empty in decades.
This could well be the end of the CPD as we knew it.
