  1. what a dope
    he flushed away a 7 figure pension and a 6 figure job

  2. why……………………………?

  3. Over paid. Send him to n y city. To work.

  4. Some of us find this very interesting that there’s not too many comments on this incident if it’s true. So many people are intimidated because it’s the police department. If this was another individual from another department they would’ve been terminated immediately. Amazing how some police think that they are above the law.( some) not all so relax . We feel that you should not be terminated or suspended move them over to the Dpw and put them on the back of a recycling truck that would be worse punishment then everything else.

  5. What an idiot. Why would he do this

  6. So very true .

  7. So… who was driving?
    Spouse?
    Child?
    Girlfriend?
    Political Connection?

    Where are the facts on the driver?
    They committed a crime too (leaving the scene)
