Let's have some tougher questions Emily and Dave! The issues are being softballed! 

It's the officer culture that is a problem. Officers routinely LIE and face minor consequences.  For example, you were repremanded in 2002 for lying and covering up for fellow officers in 2002 in the assault of citizen James Ladd. 

They falsify official reports to justify an arrest after the fact when the real purpose of the arrest was to punish anyone did not display deference to their oversized egos.

Frashour (*shooter of Aaron Campbell) was not honest when he said that he Tasered a citizen who was videotaping police because he thought his camera could be used as a weapon.  "Contempt of cop" is brutally enforced with little consequences for the officers.

What are you willing to do to weed out the bad cops who continue to damage the reputation of the PPB?
