>>Jack Rinehart and Russ McQuaid have either become lazy reporters or sold us out<<

They can only do what their bosses at Scripps and Chicago Tribune respectively tell them to do... unfortunately.

Haha.....that's the best description of it yet...

2015-03-17T15:39:27.912-05:00

Haha.....that's the best description of it yet -- CONsolidation! Probably should make it CONSolidation....as most of the trouble makers have bore the county badge & now are dragging IPD down.

Moral in dept is low......and this is one gleaming example why -- look what you get covered up if you are the right color. It's not a "one time" exception....there's a lot of this crap going on. Those in the dept knew of this within hours of it happening....they are still waiting for the "right" thing to be done. (They will always be waiting!!!)

Ohhhh speaking of crap....anyone know about the dark officer who was drunk driving a few years back, hit a phone pole & then capped his pants? Well even after that was covered up, his affairs with officers in the dept and atleast one STD, he's been promoted and is someone the dept puts on the news for you to see/listen to. See, how punishments....I mean rewards are given?
Sad for the good guys & gals actually out there sober, working and doing all with dignity who get nothing but bad leadership as their reward.

It's time people began asking a lot more questions of those "in charge".

Jack Rinehart and Russ McQuaid have either become lazy reporters or sold us out. Once upon a time, they would have been all over a story like this.

As I recall, Burton is another one of those "...

As I recall, Burton is another one of those "highly trained and qualified" deputy sheriff's that came as part of the CONsolidation.

2015-03-17T09:18:26.484-05:00

As fate would have it, Eric, the PAC's opinion arrived in my inbox on Saturday, while the Sheriff's Department response came on Monday. The PAC was advised of the pending Sheriff's department request. It chose not to wait and see how that response was handled.

2015-03-17T07:40:10.541-05:00

I just looked up rank structure and captain looks like middle mgt. What is salary range? What happened to Joseph after he pulled over? What did cops discuss with him? Did they thank him for his service, give him a warning, ticket, etc.? How long has you had record from sheriff? Were you just waiting with it to expose the crappy attorney from the PAC? If so, well played!

2015-03-17T06:25:29.603-05:00

Then there's this:

[R]emoves the requirement that a local government awarding a public works contract
to a bidder other than the lowest bidder must state in its minutes or memoranda the factors used to determine the bidder that is awarded the contract.

Thanks anon 10:09, I was wondering when someone was going to tell us who that capt. was.

Straubification! Bisard, Captain Phil Burton.......

2015-03-16T22:09:38.063-05:00

Straubification!

Bisard, Captain Phil Burton....what is next?

2015-03-16T21:46:54.471-05:00

They're idiots. I don't read them. I read this site because it's supposed to be different and better than the Indianapolis Pravda.

It's so damn hard to find anything I can trust in this Communist-Bloc city.

I don't want to be in a position where I'm hoping, day after day, that today will finally be the day that the news releases the facts.

2015-03-16T21:27:30.222-05:00

Why hasn't Jack Rinehart or Russ McQuaid reported on it? They've ignored this story for months while putting out press release after press release for the department. Have you badgered them?

2015-03-16T21:20:36.527-05:00

"We'll be charitable and not name the police captain for now"

Bull.

It's news. It's public record.

You're a journalist in possession of newsworthy public information.

You have a duty to report it. If you don't, you're no better than the Star.

2015-03-16T21:18:56.735-05:00

Are you kidding, anon. 9:17? She'll get another award from the bar association for a job well done. This is Indiana, after all.

2015-03-16T21:17:36.956-05:00

What's Samantha DeWester going to do when you get her disbarred?

She messed up pretty big, and she needs to be out of her public job and lose her public license, because she sure has violated her duties to the public.

2015-03-16T20:40:47.891-05:00

Indiana Code § 5-14-3-5(c) provided all of Indiana the right to know that there was an IMPD Command Official accused by a citizen of Driving A Police Vehicle While Intoxicated!

This should be prima facie public information! Furthermore: Why didn't the State Police investigate this??? They were the proper neutral authority with judisdiction.

It appears that Straubification has influenced the Chief of Police that the Infamous Frank G. Straub brought here! Racial preference appears obvious.

2015-03-16T20:25:42.003-05:00

Will IMPD cover this up? Why was it (as AI reported) that the determination was made to terminate the Captain until the Chief learned about the race of the employee????? -Was that related to The Chief of Police former position as President of the Vangard Justice Society, that protects black officers???

"Corruption is as Corruption does!"

-The Democrat Machine

P. S. Does it appear that the high ranking officer got to that rank only by virtue of his race & political favors granted to him? Even after he disgraced click here: "http://www.wthr.com/story/6458778/rca-dome-event-snarls-downtown-traffic">The City as Commander of Traffic during a motivational speaker event?
