The more disturbing truth is these officers were part of a group that were fired arbitrarily by MPD during the Ramsey years. You can't fire civil service employees without due process, which includes progressive discipline. Mannes was stupid for posting what he did, but I was among a few Mt. Pleasant residents saw the post and it was done in a tounge and cheek way. Google DC gov't's disciplinary records and you'll find that a latino investigator sent email info on an open case to his cousin who was a gang member - and got a 10 day suspension. If he got 10 days for leaking a case to a felon, why did Mannes get fired? <BR/>They also fired a veteran sgt (Lindsay) for lying about giving blood to get a half day off. Another Sgt working in Northeast went AWOL for a month and missed over 4 court dates (where criminals walked free) and served a 30 day suspension. Why was Lindsay fired? Furthermore, why does DC continue to have hardened criminals on the payroll? You fire two officers for a minor fistfight in a private area of the station, but pay Officer J. Robinson for two years to stay at home after he shot and killed his wife in PG county? <BR/><BR/>My point is to try and not demonize these guys for being exhonorated (even if it is a technicality) because a lot of what you've heard in the media is the DC government spinning the fact that they have been totally incompetent in their personnel process - and I'd be really interested to see what minor suspensions may have been served in the past by Peter Newsham or Cathy Lanier in the days they were working the street, and see if they themselves would have been fired in the age of the political chief (Ramsey and Lanier).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-4714100916506915872008-05-24T08:53:00.000-04:002008-05-24T08:53:00.000-04:00OMG, I agree with Rusty.
