I know there are terrible stories of firemen, who were also arsonists.

He even managed to get a bit of face time on the news when THE chicken limo was torched.<br /><br />I don&#39;t know the history of Ernie&#39;s but I recall seeing one of these driving around town from time to time, for many, many years. Maybe there have been several incarnations of the idea.Downtown Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239811599722585898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-32955693233583076432010-05-28T18:23:27.341-05:002010-05-28T18:23:27.341-05:00When did IMPD stop reporting stats to the FBI?<br />There was a unit (Crime Statistics) that was responsible for reporting the stats every month.Concerned Taxpayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952241910289966736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-33826318024751414222010-05-28T17:05:28.285-05:002010-05-28T17:05:28.285-05:00You could ask that same question of any number of police officers hired by IMPD, Ernie. At some point you&#39;ve got to stop blaming Bart and Frank for everything. Ballard has been in charge for almost three years, almost all of which he has had direct control of IMPD. He has made his own bad hires, and his administration engaged in a cover-up of the OmniSource scandal. This is the reward we get for paying them a 9% pay raise over the past two years, money our City didn&#39;t have to pay them and during a period that other people have seen their wages frozen or reduced. There is absolutely no evidence that Ballard has done any better than Peterson when it comes to the police. Ballard can float phony crime statistic numbers all he wants, but to the public, it is quite apparent that crime is up in the city. If the numbers are so impressive, why won&#39;t the City report its crime statistics to the FBI?Gary R.

I respect yours, please respect mine.<br />The real question is ...why was this guy hired anyway? This officer was hired under the Peterson Administration and while Anderson was in charge of IMPD. If you recall Bart allowed IMPD to lower their standards...and this is what we get. <br />This guy would have been weeded out during his psyche exam if Sheriff Anderson didn&#39;t allow anyone to carry a badge and gun. After Indianapolis spent thousands to train this guy I&#39;m out several thousand dollars and Indy still needs a qualified LEO.indyerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817373902728915873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-62821695124253965272010-05-28T16:36:17.800-05:002010-05-28T16:36:17.800-05:00The article says there are other Indy Chicken limos around town.<br /><br />Seriously?
