S. court records will show that a very large sum was paid to a real police officer that had the courage to tell the sheriff "NO, I won't lie on the crime reports and down-grade the classifications." He was suspended for showing moral courage, filed suit, and won a handsome judgment in court.<BR/><BR/>The cronyism and nepotism has got to go!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-47007109992724938442007-11-20T08:29:00.000-05:002007-11-20T08:29:00.000-05:005:30 you wrongfully state that the merger "is working." While there is a police department, it has been diluted, problem solving units dedicated to finding solutions to crime are now so weak they are no longer effective. The police are spread thinner than ever in history...there is a revolving door "arrestee processing center" that continues to set the criminals loose to prey on us. <BR/><BR/>We have an ultra-liberal non-Prosecutor, who is doing his own bit to help with the numbers by not filing charges against criminals (if he does file, it'll be a lesser charge so that a liberal judge can find the criminal "guilty-indigent" and give no punishment).<BR/><BR/>The new work-release center is a failure, not allowing criminals to escape by merely walking away....and far too many criminals are getting an expensive ankle bracelet instead of prison and continuing to commit crimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-49491038240214757922007-11-20T07:17:00.000-05:002007-11-20T07:17:00.000-05:00The Star carries the AP story with a side bar noting that Indiana had a "slight drop" in reported hate crimes; however, it reverses the reported cases for 2006 with 2004, making it appear there were actually more reported cases and more law enforcement agencies reporting. It totally missed the fact that Indianapolis didn't report. Should this surprise us?Gary R.

All Kennedys and Rockefellers, conspiring to own the world and us.<BR/><BR/>Your constant harping on the IMPD merger is old. Build a bridge and get over it already. The merger happened, it works, and the new mayor will likely get control of the combined department.<BR/><BR/>Stop with the consipracy theories already. Life begins when you get one. There is no proof whatsoever, except the silly IndyU harping, that the increase in crime and the merger are related. Just like the tax inrease, the merger's timing may havhe, in retrospect, been poor. But it went thorugh. The new mayor says he won't undo it. Which is smart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-5546039194369336342007-11-20T00:49:00.001-05:002007-11-20T00:49:00.001-05:00A regular problem that is missing from the analysis is that the 'crimes against persons'category including assaults, etc. is a much larger fraction of the crimes based on sexual orientation. The hate crimes that are reported against gay people tend to be violent whereas those based on religion tend to be graffiti and intimidation.

A large percentage of all major crimes have been deliberately under reported or reclassified as lesser crimes in an attempt to make the IMPD look like a success. This has been taking place from day one of the newly merged debacle of a police department. The only problem is, it hasn't worked. Crime is up so much because of this mess created by the mayor and implemented by the sheriff and his band of misfits, that even they can't lie that much! Hopefully it's not too late to correct the problem.
