...."She was sleeping when we walked in with our cameras, knew we were there, and kept sleeping." That's because she didn't give a rats butt. Now tell me how a person like this passes the hiring process? How much money was spent on interviews with a "staff psychologist" and subsequent mental evaluation workup? As some one mentioned...what about the 2 officers charged with robbing citizens recently? What about the officer who shot himself over the "breakup" from his underage girlfriend...then blamed her mother for the shooting? As a former Cop, I can tell you that almost EVERYONE of these cases left a trail of clues that were ignored by, or completely dismissed by supervisors. In case after case, incident after incident, the public loses a bit more respect for those who are sworn to uphold law and order.

~~She was sleeping when we walked in with our cameras, knew we were there, and kept sleeping.~~ If she was sleeping, how could she "kn[o]w you were there"?? I doubt she'll get any "punishment" at all. She'll claim some type of "medical" reason -- low blood sugar, undiagnosed diabetes, some other excuse. They city will accept it, they don't care anyway, they're running it to get pensions, nothing to do with citizens.

i dont think this is quite as bad as the one who was running the hos and the ones who have robbed dope dealers, and i could go on and on. was it midnight or 300am or 400pm in the afternoon? it was wrong yes, but to me, the time frame makes a big difference. she will get a couple of days off without pay, thats gonna be it.
