It’s hard to make peace with an entity that only wants to commit unabated violence.
Wait…wait. This statement is also applicable to something else going on in the world
Yes there are conservatives many places.
That seems like a top ten “nope” job to me. Props to anyone choosing to stay in such a position.
Slightly better than Boeing Accountability Chief maybe
Well, the Boeing accountability chief position was subcontracted out - on a pro-bono basis no less. So all-in-all, not a bad gig I think.
I’d like to get paid to golf.
Alternate take: The Accountability officer tries to hold Boeing accountable, so they murder her.
In August, the Fraternal Order of Police lodge that represents Chicago cops filed a lawsuit accusing Kersten and her top aides of leading dubious investigations and imposing unfairly harsh discipline on officers.
Later that month, Kersten fired two high-ranking COPA officials: Deputy Chief Administrator Matthew Haynam, a former CPD staff attorney, and Garrett Schaaf, one of several supervising investigators at COPA, who worked for years as a deputy sheriff in Osceola County, Florida.
Last month, Haynam filed a lawsuit claiming his firing was retaliation for raising alarms about COPA bias. A letter reportedly signed by 16 former or current COPA staffers said Kersten had “manipulated investigations to align with her own policy agenda” and retaliated against staffers who have complained about “bias and mismanagement.”
This sounds like an Onion article. Cops complaining to their oversight committee that their investigations are biased and unfair.
Like, Ok, Coppers 🤡
“Transparency isn’t always comfortable,” Kersten added.
I like this Andrea Kersten.
From a Wikipedia article on the murder of the kid that landed the dept a consent decree:
On October 5, 2018, Van Dyke was found guilty of second-degree murder, as well as 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm.[9] Van Dyke was sentenced to prison in January 2019 and was released early for good behavior in February 2022.
Slap on the wrist.
“Transparency isn’t always comfortable,” Kersten added. “People don’t always like when you put things out into the public discourse that maybe wouldn’t have been there 10 years ago, but that’s what the job requires…. Transparency and the truth are ultimately what will contribute to all of us collectively being able to build a safer Chicago and a more reform-minded public safety system.”
I trust that this lady is doing her job effectively and the complaints from the cops are a tantrum over being held accountable.
