So now you’re saying police judgment in question? An idiotic judgment call, just like Grin Reaper. Blech!!!

Now if the city were to follow Countdown’s advise, this is what would happen.
1) Officers would file a grievance on the discipline (no matter what is was) saying it was retaliatory against the former union president immediately following a no-confidence vote by the union against the acting chief.
2) The city would object to the grievance.
3) Mark Anastasi would hire outside legal counsel to defend the city.
4) The city and the union would spend a lot of taxpayers’ money going up to Hartford to fight this silly issue.
5) The union would win the grievance. It was a judgment call. No one has suggested other people were doing the same and the mayor’s son was the only one charged. It may not have been the best judgment but police officers make judgment calls every day they are on duty.

You guys got me grinning ear to ear.
First of all, Lennie sounds like he is back in the mayor’s office shining like a mayor’s staff normally does about how everyone is out to get me. Too bad. It comes with the territory. Can’t stand the heat, you know what to do.
I haven’t heard a single person complaining about the fact that the police department allowed Murphy’s Law to remain open as I am sure they allowed all of the bars and restaurants in the area that were not in imminent danger. So what is with the curfew? What is with the disaster?
The Finchster’s kid got busted for something stupid …
Ain’t the first time; won’t be the last. Let it be.
If Lennie were truly advising the mayor he would tell the mayor to have the son apologize for a lack of good judgment in light of the state of emergency, maybe go out this weekend volunteering with the clean up and take the high road home.

Wow!!! Hang in there Finch, you are targeted and realize our “boys in blue” really have nothing on the character of Barney Fife, actually they make old Barney look like a MENSA member.

I have a question for PD spokesman Lula. How many arrests do the 2 officers who arrested Finch have for Using a cellphone while driving? How many for texting while driving? How many for failure to wear a seat belt? The answer I bet is zero or close to zero. These laws along with the one they arrested Finch for are laws most police officers wink at.
How many tickets or arrests have been made because of student housing by Sacred Heart University students in residential neighborhoods? Zero.
If that had been any other person except a Finch we would not be talking about it now.

The mayor of the city of Bridgeport sends out photos of the command center on his Twitter account and announces a curfew on the same. This officially makes him the biggest Twit in the Bridgeport.
Congrats to Mayor Twit!
