I only recall one time, that a sweet person posted that he/she really appreciated us ,regardless. I don't ever recall any "atta boys" or good job blogs from anybody. Maybe that justifies all the posted police bashings and unfounded blatant accusations because we are all "painted with the same broad brush",of the public opinion. I definitely remember T.BO.( that incompetent was hired from the agency that he was fired from, and had a big time law-suit filed against them for firing him. He even sued this dept for the same exact thing)! I don't recall any hue and cry or public outrage for his dismissal. Just the intense news coverage until the matter was resolved. All that entire investigation probably started with a whistle blower( more than likely a county employee)certainly not any concerned citizen . How could a corrupt/incompetent chief be fired by a corrupt/incompetent commissioner, w/o fear of reprisal ? How does a critical public poss add anything of value to this blog and "our own departmental and personal problems ? Our departmental and personal problems need to stay that way, "departmental and personal". It's always been, and will always be " US AGAINST THEM ". It's just the nature of the beast! Maybe ,just like this is a new, modern, high tech profession now, we are fooled into thinking we are dealing with a more, empathetic and supportive public ? But,I still remain a skeptic ? I bet I'm not the only one guestioning this . Just another thought . REGARDLESS. THIS IS STILL A GOOD THING.

Who cares what the citizens think about "our" issues. They have the news-media and the commissioners to snivel to, certainly not us . We only have each other, and this blog. We don't care what John or Jane Doe thinks. If it is obvious that any blogs are not from us, please don't post them in the future.

I retired as a SERGEANT knowing I did the absolute best that I could with what I had. I got where I was by hard work and respecting others and taking care of other officers even when I didnt have too or even want too. I always tried to lead by example, even though I know I was a very poor example sometimes. I wanted the officers that worked under me to know that I had thier back and the most important thing is to come home at the end of your shift uninjured or dead. I retired sooner than what I wanted too because I refused to be part of a system that did not value the hard work and dangers that my officers encountered every night and instead, promoted BAD officers (criminals in uniform) to positions of authourity over them and me. My code of honor would not allow me to be part of this, and I can sleep well at night. <br /><br />What happend to DKPD is just part of a larger disaster that happend to all of metro Atlanta. Until the much larger issues are addressed then things will never change for the better.<br /><br />SNAKEMAN Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-64875581517880899772013-03-17T04:17:56.511-04:002013-03-17T04:17:56.511-04:00Old War Horse has a point unfortunately... look ar... Old War Horse has a point unfortunately... look around some of the people around here have pretty much been shown the path to success and not necesarilly walked it. TRUE some are black women..TRUE some are not. Of the black women that have been so ordained to be in "specialized" positions they came with many fellow officers seemingly questioning the merit of the appoitments and promotions. Now thats not to say that every black female officer who got promoted were promoted based on every bed they climbed in and out of because it would be reckless and plain ignorant, but there are some instances where some people have outright been "granted" access to more opportunities throughtout our department than others, both white and black. It is shameful when you cant think of your favorite Capt or Lt. or whomever and the first thing that comes to mind is ....."Who'd they @#% to get that position?" or "They did "that" and I only did "this" how they still get there?" It is an ugly question but DKPD it is the way of the world now. No one really gets anywhere in America based on merit,they get there based on who they network with ala Nepotism. And of those black female officers, ALL of them are excellent networkers and are apart of a system they did not create, but came into during the days Dekalb County was a shade lighter. I personally don't agree with it, but that's the moster AMERICA has created. To the dkpd EMPLOYEES (not just that black females)however you got to your position won't matter when the entire world sees the incompetence you have. You (white or black) will NEVER have the respect you truly couldve had if you had worked hard and attempted to be a detective and learned their job before wanting to supervise one or whether you just drive this Chief around just to get the heads up for the promotional exam. You'll be a fraud and be treated as such. People Nepotism will get your rank, but HARD GODDAMN WORK will earn you RESPECT.<br /><br />black male author.....<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-85820756776636197092013-03-16T09:48:55.290-04:002013-03-16T09:48:55.290-04:00That's probably because you don't have to ...That's probably because you don't have to go on bad calls by yourself.

Once acquired they simply show the jury this officer clearly can't be trusted to tell the truth and win the case. This has been so effective many agencies no fire officers for any incident of untruthfulness because they know they will become useless as a police officer. We need to adopt this same policy to regain any credibility.

I could go off on here about WMs or WFs who got a position over me, but I won't because they were more qualified or simply better suited than I was.
