The fact that a DA desperate for a PR win isn't persecuting/prosecuting here tells the story.<br /><br />Flynn can fire a cop simply because he doesn't like the shine on his shoes, but it seems to me his reasoning in this case is exceedingly weak and has only served to gift wrap the Hamilton family's future civil suit against the city. Determining all by himself that a bad stop resulted in the justifiable death of a citizen? All he's really done here is punt the cop's employment disposition to the Fire and Police Commission. It will take some time, but this cop won't be the first of Flynn's firings that the Fire and Police Commission has reversed. <br /><br />I just can't grant Tom Barrett enough political master-mind status to have guided this mess this far. Since "something" has been done we can infer from experience that the perpetually dithering Tom Barrett has had nothing to do with it. You've got a better shot at getting a ride from Amelia Earhart than a significant decision from Barrett.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
