Councilman Vince Riggi also noted that stripping is legal, but said police should not have hired them for a private party. “You know how that goes. It certainly can lead to some things,” he said.

I don't get the gerrymandering comments when Democrats out-number Republicans by several thousand voters in that district.

If you give a sworn statement to gov't officals and lie in it which obviously could create a hardship on another individual (a police officer who stands to be disciplined anywhere from suspension days, job termination to even arrest) why would the Gazette advocate for the law (making a false statement, etc) being ignored? What about the rights of the individual being lied about? Nevermind the huge waste of tax payer dollars associated with investigating a false complaint. Moreover, restitution to the tax payers should be part of the sentence if an individual is found guilty of this charge.

It's about time.

Yes, congrats to him for accepting all that pride money after turning his back on all of the Conservatives that he graciously turned his back on after accepting their endorsement. I'm sure he'll do wonderfully on Ballot line E...

Think you may want to read this paragraph again...

Oh Roy, how far did all that Pride money get you???

@ajames--"the Chief brought that concept of directed patrol to the Department."

Directed patrol was first instituted in the City during the 1990's. Care to explain how he brought it to the City when he didn't become Chief until a decade later?
