I don't feel like that is a rant at all. I don't feel like enough people have taken the time to read through all the available documents available to them. That being said, I hope that I am wrong about my next statement but this is coming from past decisions. I think Adams and Reese made this decision of disipline to make it look like they were doing something to change the bureau's direction knowing full well that it will go to an arbitrator and will be over turned. Shame on you PPA. Please start looking past yourself's and see that your rank and file officers are not always innocent. I hope that I am wrong about my above statement and that the PPA will back down and see that this was a just decision. After taking the time to read all the documents that were made available to me,  I feel like the decision made was right and took into account many different, very hard circumstances that led up to it.
