Just image if Deputy Chief Don Frank, Sgt. Buck West among others had not been protected by Vernon Jones. If they had been working for the city of Cochern, their butts would be in jail right now.
But we wonder how does the GBI pick and choose?

I believe that is MPO West at this point in time.
Times are a changing. Kinda.
Well how many crimes were covered up by VJ, and civil rights violated by MPO West before he became MPO West.
It;s not a trick question!
And yes lets not forget about ol Don Frank, whom I will not call a Cheif, since I would not follow him into battle.
Rock on Chief O'Brien!
The question was posed about how the GBI picks and chooses. The answer is simple - they don't. The GBI can only investigate if requested by sheriffs, chiefs of police, DA offices; this is a matter of law. Don't blame them for rogue cops run amuck!
The Real Question - Why has POST, the organization responsible for setting standards, maintaining a standard of conduct/professionalism and issuing our "ticket to practice Law Enforcement, been silent?
It's not like these transgressions have been kept quiet. THEY WERE PUBLICLY AIRED ON THE LOCAL NEWS!!!!!
Amazing....They were PUBLICLY swept under the carpet while the general public watched!
Also...why hasn't Gwenn Keyes pursued obvious violations of state law?
The difference is political clout. Was Vern the intimidator? I know that any employee who valued his job over self-repect learned Vern did not like the word no, but what I found so amazing were the continual stream of questionable and unethical acts that never seemed to get investigated thoroughly. The infamous rape accusation, the GBI mis-use scandel, the mysterious loan on his house, the timing of ownership of extremely valuable property near Stoncrest mall, his absence from the county and his subsequent discovery at the Athen's Greece Olympics after Vern strong armed local business into paying for the trip? We all know there is a ton more of stuff that Vern has done, but no one seems interested in investigating, including elected officials who are totally independant of Vern's control and should have a vested interest in good ethical government in DeKalb. If we are going to bring good government back to DeKalb we are going to have to investigate Vernon and expose how bad things were. Just like Atlanta and Bill Campbell. Where is the AJC when you really need them? I pray that the Champion will step up to the plate and do their civic duty.
It seems that Mrs. Fleeming picks and choses her own fights. She will fight the little people instead of the big people. Always remember she is a politician.
